Zeichen und Wunder

This is a blog about illustration and animation.
A visual mix tape of different styles and techniques,
like a coloured bouquet of flowers.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Yours Katrin

SARAH ESTEJE

A young artist born in 1987, Sarah has already studied at both LISAA (L’Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués) and Gobelins, where she took up photography. Her training in both fields can be seen in her animal portraits, which, with just paper and pen, are amazingly detailed and eye-catching.

DAN MAY

Dan May is a fine artist currently living in Chicago, IL. A native of Rochester, NY, Dan attended Syracuse University where he achieved a BFA and began to immediately pursue his artistic interests. As a modern narrative painter, May cultivates a rich texture of the surreal and mysterious in his highly original flowing style. His detail-intensive works have become widely recognized for their dreamlike ability to transcend the natural states of space and time – mostly due to his usage of a very finely honed usage of line. May’s propensity for using hair as a metaphor has become a focal point that he has built on to speak about larger aspects of humanity as well as the dream world, and gives a strong nod to his progressive personal growth and evolution as an artist.

Dan has exhibited his paintings to consistently growing interest in the gallery world and is enthusiastically held in high regard by collectors the world over. May spends the majority of his time in the studio, painting new wonders or challenging his lovely wife Kendal to unscheduled debates on pro wrestling theory. His paintings have graced the pages of international publications as Hi Fructose Magazine, DPI and Communication Arts among others.

Born in 1979, Rochester, NY. Currently lives and works in Chicago, IL

SARA BLAKE aka ZSO

Sara is a designer and fine artist living and loving in New York City.

ZSO (pronounced |zō|) is a collection of letters that I find aesthetically and phonetically beautiful. Together they make sound much like “so,” the adverb which means “to such a great extent.” Sara is a person of extremes, for better or worse (most often the latter), so the ring of it was fitting, and the moniker has since stuck for good.

She graduated from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Graphic Art and Postmodern Studies—She’s been working in design and art direction ever since. With a background in advertising she nows work as a freelance illustrator and exhibiting artist, as well as work as a small one woman design shop offering digital services.

Using a fusion of traditional techniques and digital processing, he creates thoughtful dreamlike images that carry emotional weight as well as a relevance to daily life.
