Ray Frenden

Ray Frendon is a commercial illustrator which along side his incredible artwork attracted me to continue to read further. His blog has a simple layout so your not confused with other links or things happening around the outside of what your reading. I found his use of his blog was not just thoughts he had or just things he's done it was a good mix of videos of work and tutorials as well as a good variety of his work. He also has interviews both published and viral so you get a look of who he is and his view on matters both art related and world related, I found this helpful as he talks about his processes and different media whilst sharing his knowledge of art techniques and general advice to budding artist like myself. I like his style of work as I can see some of my own ideas and my creations in his work. His style is at times is like the old school comics but really smooth lines and his designs can be both realistic and insane, His process is usually starts with a simple sketch and then transferred to a computer where he works on a tablet with multiple programs like photoshop and illustrator. Another great thing about his blog is that it is attached to his website so you don't need to go looking on other sites or anything like that, Check out his his blog and artwork and be inspired.
