Study Task 2

Peter Diamond

Peter Diamond is a Canadian artist who has worked on album covers, posters, apparel and editorial illustration. He is award-winning and is based in Vienna, Austria. He's exhibited in Berlin, London, New York, Vienna, Adelaide and Halifax. He's worked for websites like Juxtapoz, Comics Alliance, Squidface & The Meddler.

He did a recreation of the illustrations Little Nemo in Wonderland which are some of my favourite drawings, originally illustrated by Winsor McCay. 

His work is mixed media, sometimes he works traditional but almost always finishes his illustrations digitally.

He is very well known and has strong online presence and website. 

Hs works are something I would like to draw upon, he has a really nice figurative line and style but also has an amazing sense for colour and finished his digital illustrations at an amazing level . Very clear he is influenced by Japanese art, which I also really enjoy. 

I see a lot similarities in his work to Yuko Shimizu and Kim Jung Gi.
