MOCA Week 3


This week I was really drawn towards the work of Maxim Shoshief, a digital artist from St. Petersburg, Russia. He specialized in art restoration in college, but learned how to do computer art all on his own. I have included "Zucilo" in my blog, which is my favorite of his pieces. He creates strange beings that remind me of characters from a Tim Burton movie. Several of his other works look like muppets. I just think his work is really fun and creative. It is like he is creating his own world and his own creatures that live in it. Maxim mainly uses earth tones and yellows. His pieces are very cartoon-like and eerie at the same time.
