Victoria Chiu-Lin here
Here's a link to someone I like on DeviantArt- his/her name's Unknown-Person and I love their storytelling and animation, unfortunately they haven't been really active for months now...
http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/

Here's a short animation (and comic, read the comic first) he/she made that's (more or less) stand alone (unlike most of his other work which is part of a storyline)

http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/SDL-vs-Cold-84399107

For the storyline stuff....it's mostly OCTs that Unknown has entered into, they're still quite good, he/she won the 1st OCT they entered (Endzone) and made it to the final round of another (Law of Talos)

For the list of entries in order...

Endzone
(In which contestants are invited from all over to participate in a fighting tournament in a messed up fairytale land...it's an insane asylum filled with the characters from old fairytales, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Miss Muffet...and of course the Big Bad Wolf/shadow demon thing)
Climber- http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/Climber-reference-sheet-58045698
Audition- http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/Endzone-Audition-57785613 (a few typos but this is only the first page so I can forgive them)

VS Dood- http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/Endzone-vs-Dood-71991600
(Final RoundW00t, watch the extra stuff at the end! Unfortunately Unknown-Person didn't make a conclusion, Endling made the conclusion to the tournament instead...since that was apparently the prize for the winner)
Unknown-Person's teaser Ending- http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/Endzone-vs-Red-teaser-93619430
CLIMBER VS LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!!!
Endling's Conclusion- Drawn by Endling from Deviantart, the creator of the Endzone tournament

http://endling.deviantart.com/art/Endzone-Conclusion-Summary-2-2-165832769
And that is the end of the Endzone tournament with Climber...

After the end of the Endzone tournement, Unknown-Person entered Law of Talos with another character, Karl (a hollow statue, he's from the same amusement park that Climber was from)
Law of Talos was about a city with many machines and something about a Wishing Machine....

(Holy frick, it's Karl VS Climber!!!!!)
This is The End for Karl's part of the story...there's no real conclusion because Unknown-Person didn't win the round and thus had no obligation to continue...it still counts as an ending...

it's kari again ^^

Since I couldn't get away with just posting one, here's another >.>;

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x67207

Like Matt's post, it's not an illustration, but I get a kick out of seeing this every time i do. >w<;

-光 ♠

Matthew Cobb here. I know this isn't illustration, but a friend showed this to me and since it was dance I consider that to be a fine art. And this is a very impressive one at that. Enjoy.

First Post.....

Hey Everyone, It's Kari.

Here's the class blog.....I tried to make it as generic as possible since everyone's using it. ^^
Anyway, the gmail account for this is ExperimentalIllustration2011@gmail.com. I'll give you the password in class.

As Ms. Grossman said, the general purpose of this blog is to post interesting stuff, whatever that may be. I'd recommend bookmarking it or leaving the tab open or something, in case there's something that pertains to class.

Rather than this just being an informative post, here's an interesting link to kick us off:
http://bentoboxworld.tumblr.com/

I personally don't actually use tumblr, but I tripped over this when I was googling something last week. I love bento boxes, and when people go the extra mile to make them look as cool as this, it's worthy of bonus points. ^^

Hope the Blog goes well.
