Entry One: The Beginning
Hi, and welcome to my blog. My name is Taylor and I'm a junior from Chicago, IL. Currently, I am pursing a B.A. in Telecommunications (design and production and media and society) along with a fine arts minor. My interests include claymation, interactive media, storyboarding, 3D modeling, web design, graphics, TV production, video editing and sculpture.Although I am influenced now by a lot of claymation artists (i.e. Tim Burton, Aardman Animations) I wasn't exposed to any of that when I was younger and a lot of my influences came from Broadway musicals (think intricate sets and costume designs). Currently I draw a lot of inspiration from movies like 'Pan's Labyrinth' and other stop-motion animation shorts that have innocent story lines that are made complex by the animation or graphics around them.
Here are a few of my sculptures that I have recently worked on:
One of my favorite websites is here: http://www.gelaskins.com I absolutely love the art featured on this site and think the way it's made available and marketed is brilliant. It's become usable in an aesthetically appealing way and the style of it all is definitely what I'm drawn to.
I'm influenced also by a lot of urban art and am a huge fan of both grafiti artists, Banksy (http://www.banksy.co.uk/)and FAFI (http://www.fafi.net/). I love that their art has meaning in a straightforward way that isn't really at all abstract.
