If you described today's announcement of a "Lion King" remake as a 'live-action film,' you really shouldn't be covering the film industry.
The post Get It Right: Disney Is Doing An Animated—Not Live-Action—Remake of ‘The Lion King’ appeared first on Cartoon Brew.

Painter Glennray Tutor is a photorealist. I particularly like his series of marbles and romance comics.
Photorealism always seems to get a bad rap in our comments from those who dismiss the practice as having no artistic value other than precision. But I like this quote from Tutor’s site:
“It’s easy to dismiss photo-realist work as an exercise in surface obsession, but Glennray Tutor, a Jedi warrior of the style, has to be admired for his dedication to what Yeats called ‘the fascination with what’s difficult.’”
The marbles, comics, canned goods, candies, and toys — all rendered in bright, saturated colours — evoke a sense of childhood wonder, especially when you look at his body of work, and not just individual pieces.

Great composition and colours. The jars in particular make me think of Mary Pratt.
Fantastic! I've always wondered how photorealists work is it directly off of photographs, not tracing them but using them for references as they draw or do they trace them?
The effect however it's executed is stunning-I guess that's important-not technique.
A good choice of subject makes all of the difference. Personally, I'd rather make art from a photograph than make art into a photograph. But this guys stuff is art in my book.
Photorealist work, regardless of the name, is not purely photo copying – the artist still improves, tweaks, and clarifies things. I find there is a sumptuousness found in his paintings that you can't get from the photographs.

Personally my thoughts on the photo-realist issue is that it's really only a problem when the photo realism takes center stage as a style to be clung to for fear of delving into something deeper. But I think any “style” can be used like a crutch like this. It seems to me that Tutor's work has a great deal going on in addition to and perhaps beside the realism. I like it.
I'm one of those people who isn't a fan of photo-realist work, but I do admire the skill required to successfully pull it off. I think the subject matter makes a difference too. These pieces are visually interesting and beautiful. I love his use of colour.
These photorealists always amaze me. I love Richard Estes and Chuck Close in particular. I hadn't heard of Glennray Tutor before, but thankyou for introducing me. Fantastico!
Ah, I meant that generally, not in specific response to Mike.

Awesome … nice to see photo-realism getting some props. Refreshing, actually …
