Lucie Rice's Hot-man-ta for Atlanta Magazine

Lucie Rice did this illustration for an article in the April 2012 issue of Atlanta Magazine.  The story was about the fact that Atlanta was voted the number one city for "hot guys", but no one can seem to find them anywhere!

Lucie Rice - Hot-man-ta


 A short excerpt from the article:

Hot-man-ta

Atlanta ranks first for handsome fellows.
So where are they?
 

Atlanta is a hotbed of handsome—at least, we seem to think so. The deal-doling website LivingSocial commissioned a survey by third-party Mandala Research asking residents in the top twenty U.S. cities to rate their city’s vanity. Lo and behold, ours ranked number one for handsome men. Which led us to one question: Where are all these hotties hiding?

Joel Nakamura illustration – Eater of Bad Dreams

This is a new piece by Joel Nakamura, and it is his interpretation of "Baku".  Baku are Japanese supernatural beings that devour dreams and nightmares, and they have a long history in Japanese folklore and art.

 Joel donated prints of this piece and a miniature painting to be auctioned at an event called Hanami After Dark, which benefits TOMODACHI, an initiative led by the U.S.-Japan Council in an ongoing effort to support Japan’s recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.  The event is one of many taking place during the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC.

The Illustration and Claymation world of Christophe Lopez-Huici

Jennifer Vaughn Artist Agency welcomes French-born, New York resident, Christophe Lopez-Huici to the group! With clients such as Google, Christie's, Pfizer, Atlantic Records, Bill Plympton, as well as a large range of smaller music labels and independent music magazines, Christophe brings yet another layer of style, skills, and personality to the team.

His illustration approach has a hint of the very traditional French 'bande dessinées' (cartoon), while retaining a clear unique personality and presence:

The movie has been screened in many festivals worldwide, including Slamdance and the Margaret Mead film festival in NY. His own animated short, Mondo Claymo has been in festivals all over the country and was shown at the Festival de Cannes's Short Film Corner in May 2011 --- here is a peek:
