Artists like Takashi Murakami, Todd Schorr and Stefano Bolcato often use icons related to the world of comics, manga and old games to create influential and evocative works.
The contest launched on Koinup one month ago was about that kind of art.
Here are the three winners:
- "Circus Life" by Lookatmyback (chosen by Elif Ayiter)
- "Botgirl vs Dummy" by Botgirl (chosen by Mario Gerosa)
- "Untitled (Keith's Colors)" by Baroque (chosen by Peter Ludlow)
Wooow! Thank you! Thank you so much! ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt's a real honor to me!
I could not resist to the contest's theme because ironic attitudes and fun are the best part of our virtual adventures.
Shooting this picture was a real fun, for sure. That what I love the most in this pic are the infinite possibilities of cartoonish stories which could evolve from this shot letting anyone imagine the most funny ending of each action. Anyway this wouldn't have been possible without the help of my friends, that's why I'm so glad to share this very kind award with them all: thanks to La Baroque ( Baroque in Koinup ) for her bravery in entering the cannon, ready to be shot in the sky as the cartoons would have told this story, thanks to Paturnia Zerbino ( PaturniaZ in Koinup ) the skilled tamer who steps into an... Unpredictable accident in the middle of her performance and thanks to Nightbefore Dayafter ( Nightbefore in Koinup ), the Lycan star of the show. ^_^
Thank you once more for your preference towards my humble work.
I do really love Baroque' "Keith Colors" because I remember the moment this work was born! It was a really funny experience and the final results shows it all! A colorful, joyful, pop inspired and friendship sharing snapshot. Ain't it lovely?
Botgirl's work hits the spot in avatars' reflections upon their lives: are they self-aware beings living in a different plane of existence? Do they feel to be controlled by external thoughts? :)
