Workbook Latest Additions: May 19th-25th
Posted by Workbook on 05/21/2013 — Filed under: Features, Galleries, Headline, Illustration, Latest Additions, New Talent, Photography
This week, we've got 7 incredible new photographers and illustrators. Check their bios and image samples below.
Christopher Ferguson was born in Sydney, Australia and has worked in the fashion industry for 15 years. He has shot for Vogue, Harpers Bazzar and Elle. Christopher has published and distributed worldwide his own successful magazines. He has shot major international advertising campaigns for Wrangler, Lee Denim, Diet Coke and ASOS. Christopher has transitioned into directing with his first short film HOME featuring True Blood star Ryan Kwanten. Now based in LA, he brings with him his signature aesthetic of natural, effortless style using natural light and timeless story telling.
David Goldin received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Goldin's mixed media artwork presents viewers with fantastical and warped creatures whose features are animated by twisted metal chains and old door latches. Exaggerated body proportions and whimsical facial expressions designed on found objects such as ping pong paddles, metal cans, and pieces of wood create humorous caricatures of creatures on these creatively repurposed materials. His recent works include writing and illustrating a children's book about how art museums work, entitled MEET ME AT THE ART MUSEUM: A Whimsical Look Behind the Scenes (2012).

Thomas Ehretsmann - Jackie Robinson for The New Yorker
By Richard Solomon Representatives
The April issue of The New Yorker featured a film review of the biopic of Jackie Robinson's life, "42". Thomas Ehretsmann was asked to illustrate actor Chadwick Boseman portraying Robinson for the article. After seeing the article and accompanying illustration, the film's writer and director, Brian Helgeland, purchased the art for the actor. It's always an honor to have the art in the hands of the subject.

This original group exhibition showcasing five renowned and active illustrators is curated by Coco Masuda, our managing director, and supported by Workbook.
Illustrators are bound by the stories they depict, the products they promote, the expectations of their clients, and the tight deadlines they must meet. Their work is creative and skillful, yet most often dismissed as “commercial” by the fine art world. Few illustrators have successfully crossed the line that divides “commercial” art and “fine” art in the public eye, most prominent among whom have been N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Andy Warhol. This exhibition presents five contemporary illustrators whose artwork provokes viewers to reconsider the boundaries of fine art in the face of remarkable visual creations.
While some illustrators break free of the constraints of their professional style and employ alternate techniques in their artwork, others stay within the comfort of their professional style in their own creations. The artists in this exhibition follow both models of creative expression and demonstrate the virtues of each one.

Kim and James Take a Journey to the Outback
By Mendola Artist Representatives
Kim and James Neale have enjoyed their journey with Nature’s Path. They were originally asked to create an adorable panda (see sketches below) for a cereal box, but it went over so well that the client commissioned a series of characters.
They have enjoyed working with their client as a team: each character is the result of everyone’s input, making the project a big success. The animals’ anatomies and environments were thoroughly researched before the Neales committed to a specific design.
The talented duo created a koala, gorilla, lemur, macaw, and a cheetah for the kid-friendly packaging. But wait, they have more to come in the next year and half! They loved working with a global brand, and their children were excited to see the Nature's Path cereal in their local grocery store in Sydney.
