I am not an art major, or even know much about art...except what I like. This week I would like my artist of the week to be not anyone historically famous but instead a more cartoon famous artist Lou Romano. Mr. Lou Romano has done famous work such as Disney Pixars Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, Up, Cars, and Ratatouille. He's worked as an art director and designer for the Powerpuff Girls as well as The Iron Giant. Not only is Mr. Lou Romano a wonderful artist but also multi-talented (which we all know is very liked on this blog page) and has studied performing arts as well. He's actually performed in films such as Herd, The Trouble with Lou, Boys Night Out, and voice roles in a few Disney Pixars films.
He studied animation in the early 90's at the California Institute of Arts, and as well completed workshops at The Groundlings in L.A. In 2005 he won an Annie Award for his work on Disney Pixars Incredibles, and also exhibited his artwork in the Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Opera.
(If you want to find out more information about Lou Romano dont bother to look any information up on Wikipedia...because thats where I recorded all my information)
Mr. Romano was chosen as my artist of the week because of his unique taste, and multi-talent. While he is creating he work he digests every ounce of information he can, creating models, sketching, traveling, photography, and computer animation.
Not only has Mr. Romano created beautiful work with Disney Pixar and other children's designs but also Romano has designed for the cover of the New Yorker and worked on many book covers and darker elements to the arts. Usually I am not one to enjoy a darker side to things, but Mr. Romano's dark side draws me in to understand more.
