Cotton With Edge
By Katherine • Oct 21st, 2008 • Category: Digital Art, Digital Painting, Illustration, International, Painting, Recent Posts, Traditional ArtThe words “daring” and “edgy” come to mind when looking at these collage pieces, some offering humor as well. Many if not everyone has heard the term “fierce” in reference to fashion, but not often is it used to describe illustration. But, though I don’t like using the term in this manner, I feel the need to dub these works (drum roll) “fierce illustration”.
These stunning images are illustrations by Sam Cotton, recently featured in the Exposure section of Computer Arts Magazine. The UK based illustrator works using a combination of digital and traditional techniques, with a talent for bringing realism into contemporary art. His captivating illustrations are “fashion-based”, gaining a sense depth through the use of the different mediums.
Enough cannot be said about these illustrations, and I was rather excited to find the pair that I did in Computer Arts, but thanks to the powers of the internet, more of his work can be found on his online portfolio: http://www.hundredpercentcotton.co.uk/
