Musetouch Visual Arts Magazine Issue 21 published!

maiasylba — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:30:49 +0000

Dear readers,

I felt a need to share with you an email I have received a few days ago. I have sensed it as a voice of people, a message from all of you, and I must admit that it has made me feel special. It proved me, one more time, that I am doing something important, worthy, huge.

“Dear Maia,

This is just an email –among others that you receive- which try to express how grateful I am for the work you are doing with Musetouch. I am not going to say that you –and the rest of the team obviously, as well as the contributors- are way better than the existing examples out there, this would indicate that the message is exactly the opposite of a ‘spontaneous’ reaction. Moreover, I believe is unnecessary to tell you that each issue is extremely influential because you already know that. I am an architect my self – among other things- and I know to separate pure art from wanna be ones. So, please accept my sincere thanks along with our commitment to your work.”

I want to thank to my dear friends Ljiljana Bursac, Nini Baseema, Kiyo Murakami, Jelena Grujic, Murielle Mirabelle Velay Michel, Natalie Shau, Ian Furniss, Bolek Budzyn, Thierry Bruet, Dejan Bogojevic, Gines Serran, Mark Sadan and to all of you.

Yuko Rabbit – Precious

maiasylba — Thu, 10 May 2012 16:02:22 +0000

” Yuko Rabbit, aside from have an incredible artist name, is perhaps one of the best comic book artists and illustrators currently working in the industry. His visual style is a gritty blend between Japanese anime and European art, harmoniously melding the most visually pleasing aspects of the two and producing visuals that are distinct to Rabbit and Rabbit alone. Though his subjects retain a painterly look, Yuko Rabbit often toys around with digital effects, adding prismatic splashes of color or textures that are impossible to replicate in analog illustrating. His bold experimentation is inspirational to those trying to set themselves apart in the copycat world of art making…”
