Editorial

Well. I’m pretty sure

that this months

mag is a record for

2DArtist. 130 pages

and growing. The

really good news is

that as we feature

minimal adverts that’s

pretty much 120-ish

pages of pure quality

hand selected content

to feast your hungry

eyes upon. And, even

better, this is the way

things are going to

stay. Its been a strange couple of months here at Zoo Towers...I seem to

be emailing and interviewing artists in my sleep now, which is never good.

Calling out artists names all night tends to annoy the neighbours...Anyway,

I hope that our hard work is paying off and you will continue to support us

as you have done just by purchasing this magazine today. Don’t forget

we also offer 6 and 12 month subscriptions at www.2dartistmag.com with

really good discounts available to those who sign up! Also, please keep

your emails and suggestions coming in, we read and reply to every single

one of them without fail. Also, apologies if you have emailed us recently

and not received a reply, small technical error (entire email server blew

up..) caused us a few problems which are now hopefully sorted. Anyway,

enough babble from me. I’m off to dribble in a corner, muttering the phrase

‘quality content’ to myself over and over again... Ed.

Cyril

Freelance 2D artist /

psychology student

> Aubagne, France.

I started to draw

two years ago. Little

by little I found my

own style that I can’t really deine... quite

melancholic, fantasy... or childish. I refused a lot

of jobs & art propositions because of my studies

of psychology. My artist career goals is to share

more about my universe. Actually, my real goal

is to be helped to have an artist career :]

Rolando

Delon

I’m a freelance

illustrator, (Paris,

France), I usually work

with Photoshop CS2

, but all my sketches

are done with Painter

(with a Wacom). I discovered digital painting

last year, since then I have become addicted to

it. All subjects are interest, they just have to talk

to me, but fantasy & dreamy subjects are my

favourite.

Have had a passion

for drawing since

being a couple of

feet tall. Studied Fine

Art & eventually was

led into the realm of

computers several years ago. My brushes have

slowly been dissolving in white spirit since the

late nineties & now alas my graphics tablet has

become their successor. Still sketch regularly &

now balance my time between 2 & 3D although

drawing will always be closest to my heart.
