hello friends my name is Lilith and
welcome back to pyperbleu a lot of you
have asked about my favorite artist I
compiled a small list to share with
everybody the first one I wanted to
start off with is Mobius otherwise known
as Jean Giraud I can't pronounce his
French name because I don't want to
butcher it and embarrass myself I was
completely blown away just by the scope
of his career and how he was able to
push himself forward and always try
something different and daring
he pretty much reshaped the comic world
in terms of how Americans view comic he
is a tourist son but I do think his
works are very Aquarian as Mobius he
focused on merging science fiction with
fantasy and his voice can be described
as surreal dreamlike almost abstract if
you will at one point he worked on a
phone together which was supposed to be
an adaptation of dune unfortunately the
film was never produced and I was so
heartbroken to find out because my
stepdad told me the one that did come
out and the seventies is not good dune
is so imagine Game of Thrones but
intergalactic I've been listening to the
audiobook of dune I am about seven hours
in and I think the total is because
before this I was never really thought
into audiobooks it moves too slowly
because I'm a pretty fast reader so I
grow impatient as I am listening to the
story because in my mind I'm like ah
like at this point I'm already like two
chapters ahead or something this video
was not sponsored by audible but I wish
it was so sorry the battery died but I
am back yes I got super off track so let
us continue to the next artist it's no
surprise that Mobius has really
influenced the world in our perception
of comics and illustration so another
artist I want to bring up is a
contemporary artist his name is Kilian
Eng and I really enjoy his reworks and
adaptations of existing classics I think
he did a great job of merging his own
sensibilities and building on top
what mobius has already established when
you look at his work it's immediately
clear where his inspiration comes from
but he has a different line and space
relationship within his drawings that is
just really unique and I can stare at
his stuff forever I'm looking to start
collecting his prints but at the moment
I just spent you know like docking and
like stalking on Instagram and has other
important websites I like how he shares
his process works and you can see some
behind the scenes his line work on paper
for example how he works with pen I also
think his sense of color and how he
indicates atmospheric perspective using
only flat colors it's very neat the next
artist I want to go over is Tilly Walden
and here I have her comic book on a
sunbeam it's a story about space I know
there's been a theme going on so far in
this video sci-fi is something I've
always been very fascinated with it's
been a pretty big part of my childhood I
think I grew up sci-fi along with my
interest and study in the Western occult
and esoteric spirituality stuff like
that I don't even know how to describe
this um it's just definitely unfolding a
lot of suspended time a lot of jumping
back and forth in timelines so if you're
the kind of person that really loves
fragments like I do I had the privilege
to have met her in person she visited
RISD a year ago as she came to my comics
class during her visit she mentioned she
is an incredibly fast worker so I think
she wrote this whole thing and a couple
of months she hits the page straight
away with pen and there's no prior
drafting like what the heck how I what I
feel like something that is very
specific to Tilly is her thread that
ties everything together is very
emotional very empathetic she breaks a
lot of rules so a lot of conventional
comic rules about spacing better
composition and pacing she definitely
just kind of like does her own thing she
goes off of the conventions and she is
very innovative in the sense of how she
redefines the format and her color is
beautiful I love
in a way the line work is pretty
simplistic or minimalistic she really
likes to group shapes together and it
allows the reader to sort of journey
through a relatively fast pace Tilly has
published seven comics her first one at
age 18 the way she pays his dialogue and
stretches moment of silence between two
characters because sometimes it just
doesn't really need to be said and I
think as a reader and an artist I can
really resonate with her approach so
definitely recommend her she also has
prints available but again if you have a
chance her comics is just oh my gosh
we're gonna take a look at some more
life style everyday themes and genres
and how illustrators have approached
these themes I purchased small
adventures by Keiko Brodeur again sorry if
I am pushing her name I'm sorry I've
never been able to make a mark in this
journal because it's just so precious
and the illustrations are so adorable
and cute this book goes over how you can
find adventure in your everyday life in
your own neighborhood by looking small
and observing carefully it's a great way
to slow down your busy day or just to
find inspiration when you're feeling
stuck 2020 is finally going to be the
year where I'm going to draw in this
book I will definitely update when that
happens I'm thinking about filling it up
with leaves or little twigs little
berries receipts and stickers I
definitely think a collaging approach it
would be good for this journal because
we hear it there's like an amount of
stiffness it might have been the
intention of cackled to allow her
readers to use what mediums such as glue
gesso gouache I'm pretty sure her
illustrations are done in gouache it
looks like it could be a combination of
gouache and digital next up we have you
nice at Google I'm not sure how many of
you are familiar with Yumi she actually
had a talk once at my school and I
missed it because I
us so it was like the one chance I got
to like be in her presence and like feel
her aura and I just I show skip class
basically here I have her the little
book of life hacks how to make your life
happier healthier and more beautiful you
meet has come out with several books I
also have her book there is no right way
to meditate as well as a small
illustrated guide to the universe
unfortunately those two are in
California at the moment at my parents
house so this is the only one I have
with me right now it has somewhat of a
comic format there are divided or
section into different categories not
only do I admire her for just how she is
able to integrate text and image it's so
free it's so it gives off the illusion
of spontaneity but I know like she has
so much mileage under her belt that
she's able to sort of maintain this
carefree energy in her composition so
for example this page talks about tips
for having healthy and attractive hair
here we have the eight super easy and
super delicious popsicle recipes which
is going to be really great for this
summer there are also a couple of really
interesting practical advice so 10 DIY
ways to repair nicks and scratches on
wooden furniture which is really cool we
are tricks to outsmart your bad moods so
you me has a very forgiving approach to
our shadow cells the parts of ourselves
that we exile when we feel guilt when we
feel shame when we feel like wow like
I'm a really shitty person I can't
believe I am likable because I know how
terrible I am and yumi has this way of I
want to say somewhat confrontational but
inclusive method I definitely recommend
you me for those who just want to start
focusing a little bit more on themselves
on self-care on presence on how they are
managing their time what you keep it
with you cut away in their life I think
you nice drawings and words will be very
helpful for that so now we have the
fashion of a 109,069ad
is this the point or is this a this
is a period or a comma? an academic study
by Alexander Laird... Laird ..? Alexander Laird..??
I'm sorry;;; so in the back the summary
reads the year is one hundred nine
thousand sixty nine eighty humanity
lives on monstrous Hemus called
the giantess they are the proverbial
islands that would hold our very society
and culture together but how long can
this last are we in a decline currently
what is the fashion like right now my
colleagues and I ask these very
questions will you lend us your mind as
we explore this together its printed
with Rizzo I believe judging from the
way the colors are mixed I was like this
cross between looking digitally printed
but also looking screen printed as sits
somewhere in the middle in terms of its
neatness and it's offset the reason why
I was really drawn to this book is
because I had a dream a long time ago
it's not a premonition it could have
been in my past life because at the time
I was working on a lot of past life
regressions so in the dream I was in the
ocean except the ocean came up to my
ankles and then I was looking at the sky
and there are two suns one was studying
and one was rising and there are two
different colors and I remember feeling
like I had this big body I felt like I
was a mountain but I knew that I wasn't
the only soul or consciousness occupying
this body I shared it with others and we
had different glowing parts on our
bodies in the in the mountain structure
it was like this ultramarine blue and
ruby red I remember that very clearly so
when I came across the beam it sort of
just like brought me back to that tree
and the depictions of these characters
eerily similar to what I jumped up
especially this one right here the
artists definitely took a couple of old
decisions in terms of printing using
these colors and meant low contrast the
high saturation and I thought I was very
interesting and you need to last but not
least I wanted to include a tarot deck
tarot cards are very subjective because
there are so many different artists
working
on their own interpretations of all the
existing major and minors so this one I
purchased on eBay it is called the love
and mystery deck and the artist is a you
me beside I usually keep my Tarot in a
little satchel like this this one I got
from my best friend iris many many years
ago I also have the sister deck as I
call it the Amano tarot deck done by the
one and only yoshitaka amano I first got
the Amano and then I got this one
I personally now resonate with the love
and mystery a little bit more I don't
know if I would recommend this deck for
beginners so the major arcanas as well
as the court cards are full
illustrations
however the minors are all like this
tokens or just numbered similar to
playing cards if you are not familiar
with Tarot as a whole you might become
stuck or confused because traditionally
all 78 cards have illustrations on the
issue of swords let's say judging from
this illustration you can't tell that to
our swords indicates a fork in the road
an ability to make a decision feeling
stuck and confused because there are
many different arguments or the same
problem and at the moment you see fruits
on each side it represents hesitation it
represents calculation but all of that
is omitted so for intermediate readers I
think this is a great challenge it
definitely works to stretch your
intuitive third eye if you want to call
it that
they also deviate a quite a bit from the
traditional symbolisms they took liberty
and alternate law things depending on
how you want to approach your study if
you are someone who is very curious
about the history of Tarot about how
Tarot has evolved and manifested into
something can use in our modern everyday
life I would suggest starting with the
writer weight or the universal golden
deck because those stick pretty close
with a lot of introduction of beginner
books I would encourage everyone who is
interested in Tarot to just be bold you
don't have to wait for someone to gift
you a depth to start I purchased my own
depth
I did not wait for someone to hand it to
me I have never bought use decks though
I have about 11 right now and I swap
them in an app depending on what cycle
and what chapter I am in in my life so
that is the end of the video I hope that
this brings you inspiration and ideas
and maybe there are certain things you
want to look into feel free to comment
below if you have any artists from
January of this year that you want to
share with me I definitely will look
into all of them if you have any book
recommendations or if you want me to do
more book recommendations have a
wonderful day or night and I will talk
to you soon bye bye
is it dance time thank you again for
watching my no vain look is inspired by
my best friend iris check it out I'm
hungry
time for ramen
