T*Art Modern - Bridget Love

Low Sun


Samantha
Bridget Love is another TG artist that I became aware of via Flickr. I'm stunned by the quality of her work. It's has a very clean graffiti feel, which mixtures of hi-tech and retro imagery. This blend of sci-fi and seventies is probably the reason they remind me of reading my dad's OMNI magazines when I was a kid. (I've asked this before, but does anyone else remember OMNI?)

Bridget works in pen-and-ink before transferring the images to Photoshop to apply the flat colouring. It gives her pictures a stark appearance that retain the slight low-fi imperfections of the original pen drawing.

She recently had her first exhibition, and also maintains a web site, but I've been asked not to direct you to that, as she's "quite shy"!
The Power is ON

Blogger davew  Omni have not see it even spoken about for years, I did have the 1st UK edition but sadly its gone, loved the pics and the facts in it. 
Anonymous fairly-odd  I love Bridget's work! And yes, I faintly remember OMNI magazine. :) 
Anonymous Anonymous  Yes, I remember OMNI! One thing that always stuck in my mind is that they used to have articles about the weird and wonderful homes of scientists - in caves and underground and who knows what. 
Anonymous Stephanie Delacey  Er, no, I'm not anonymous. 
Blogger Kris  That's really nice work. I'm disappointed that we can't see more... 
Anonymous Serena Mayfly  I remember Omni. And I'm sure I've mentioned it before in your blog.

I've still got a stack of them up in the loft :-) 
Blogger hannaviolane  yes bex her work is very interesting, has a sort of 'letraset' type feel to it. speaking of Omni the other -lesser known- mags at the time, that always seemed to be on the coffee table at the soho art studio where i first started working, were Graphis and Motif..still got some copies somewhere? ( i can feel a trip to the attic coming on now!) 
Blogger jessica_sweet_tv_mx  Great images 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  Ooh! They're nice. Although the top "thing" from low sun oddly reminds me of the SuperDimensional Fortress Macross. I wonder if it was a conscious or unconscious influence?
