Janet Ternoff

Janet Ternoff:

Janet Ternoff

Self taught New York artist Janet Ternoff finds great fascination in the facades and interiors of buildings.


She works in a realistic style, at times with considerable detail. She works in a range of sizes, from 8×10 to considerably larger.


Her series of exteriors of bars, stores and restaurants feel in a way as if portraits of the establishments, with lots of attention to details of signs and other characteristics of the facades.


She also has a series of surface and subway trains as wall as a series of interiors that I particularly enjoy, particularly when they feature staircases in older buildings.


In all of her compositions, Ternoff is continually finding fascinating play of light, from brief splashes of highlights against weathered brick to deep contrasts of shadow and sunlight. She also paints scenes of twilight and nighttime, as well scenes with stormy or overcast skies.


Her website has a gallery divided into subsections, one of which, “New collection” is divided again into further subsections.


Ternoff also maintains a blog called New York Street Art.

Kirlander Shuttle From Dark Resurrection vol. 0

Kirlander Shuttle From Dark Resurrection vol. 0: You might have seen this film already. One of the best fan films ever made, Dark Resurrection vol. 0. A 41 minute Italian Star Wars homage with amazing attention to detail from acting to wardrobe to visual effects. From a dedicated group of individuals for sure. I think some of them are going to get work from this.

Check out this render of the Kirlander. Modelling: Riccardo Gallino, Texturing: Mirco Paolini, Lighting & Compositing Angelo Licata.

Christopher Peterson

Christopher Peterson:

Christopher Peterson

Christopher Peterson is an illustrator known in particular for his rock posters. He also does a variety of illustration, storyboards, set designs and exhibit concept designs.


Originally from New York, Peterson studied at the Art Institute of Boston and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. His clients include Time Magazine, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Readers Digest, Fortune, McGraw-Hill, Watson-Guptill, Macy’s, Courvoisier, Warner Brothers, Joe Boxer and Bill Graham Presents, among others; and his rock posters have included such performers as Paul McCartney, Phish, The String Cheese Incident, Sting, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, John Hiatt, Taj Mahal and Gloria Estefan.


Peterson’s approach varies from relatively highly rendered, to painterly to loose and sketchlike. His website features sections for posters, illustration, concept renderings and sketches, and you can find an additional portfolio of his work on the Shannon Associates artists’ representative site.


I particularly enjoy the fun conceptual devices he employs in his rock posters, with band names and concert information arrayed on grain elevators, buildings, room interiors, train cars and the like.
