Gregg Horn

For one of my inspired artists I decided to choose Gregg Horn an illustrator and designer of some gaming products and also an artist for some Marvel and DC comics. He is a very modern illustrator and is currently still producing work today. The aspect of his work that I especially enjoy about his work has to be his use of light and shadow. Though I am unsure on how he produces his images I do believe that they are first drawn then coloured and detailed on Photoshop, which the use of is fantastic in all his works. All his work has a sense of realism to it as well as the obvious cartoon affect this I believe makes his work come to life in a way making a viewer a lot more interested. Because of this work being very interesting and appealing for me and the artwork being fairly mature I believe Gregg horns work is targeted a lot towards the teenage/ young adult audience his uses of colour, effects, shadow/light etc makes it intriguing to view for anyone but most so the ages of 13-20. A lot of bold bright colours are used in his work and his use of texture I believe is exquisite with only smooth colours and not black outlines which is strange considering most comics include a lot of black outlines.

Gregg Horn specialises in comic book scetching which gives him a sense of uniqueness as I believe all comic book artists have there own original way of designing ideas. The aspect I most like about him is that he is very modern, his work does not follow the usual comic book style with block colours, his designs nmake the comic book characters seem to come to life in a way. Aswell as comic book art he also has some designs of video games icluding halo and also some movie art including the Fast and The Furious, this make him a very open artist who does not only work on one set theme. I think that Gregg Horn will help me alot for ideas for my project as his use of colour and compisition I believe is very nice and is something that I would like to reflect on in some of my work.
