Lupente

Lupente

showcases five outstanding contemporary artists in an elegant and absorbing

package. This volume--the first in our ongoing Flesk Artist Showcase series--features

Julia Blattman, a premier visual-development artist working in the

animation industry; Stephanie Law, a fine artist who pulls from

dreams and reality to illuminate the boundary between those two worlds; Karla

Ortiz, a concept and fine artist who is renowned for her personal works and

her designs for film; Virginie Ropars, one of the most-revered

dollmakers today and an inspiration to

sculptors around the world; and Erica Williams, also known as

"HookieDuke," who has gained acclaim by mastering a unique, highly intricate

style of lines and designs that centers on Nature as its inspiration.



Examples of the most highly regarded works by the five are

accompanied by biographical essays, interviews, quotes and captions that reveal

insights into their creative processes. In addition, Flesk's personal access to

each artist has resulted in an insightful and engaging introduction to these

talented creators, among the best working today.
