Im very honored to showcase the next artist i have found. A superb imagination coupled with superior painting skills led me to this pick for this week. His work transported me to another world of breathtaking landscapes filled with wonderfully magical light and forms. It was such a delight going through his portfolio. His name is Christophe Vacher.

I have just wandered through Chris Vacher's portfolio. It really is remarkable. It has some of the finest art I've seen for a long time. It's well worth taking time to view it. You will be transported in to another dimension. Fantastic! It's marvellous that you found him Justin!

Hi Justin,

I have been a huge fun of Christophe Vacher for at least two years now.. well, ever since I saw his images when I joined here... I see his name and artwork mentioned on quite a few online art sites..

I believe one artist from AW has even painted a flying pig in Christophe's style.. title, "I wish I can paint like Christophe" or something close to that...:-))

I also remember reading somewhere that he works for Disney as well.. Nice find, huh?? ;)

Cheers,

Blue

Hi there Justin, I have just spent some time wondering through Christophe Vacher's portfolio... and WOW! an amazing artist! Hope he does some more paintings, and gets the recognition he deserves.

It is hard to get to see all the wonderful talent on AW - Thank you for sharing that site with us..

Thanks Les and Blue. Yup quite a find Blue. I can see his style working out for disney movie backdrops and props. Ill look for his name in some movie credits. Glad you enjoyed him Les (:

good pick mr Jenkins. i have actually seen his stuff for some time now.he is often in the Spectrum annuals.A great place to see good sci fi,comic,3d,illustrations, and other art forms in. I just never knew he was part of this site. Thanks for the heads up.I have also really enjoyed your last couple of pieces mr jenkins.

i should mention its Spectrum 10.he actually does the cover of it, and he has several other pieces inside as well.He might be in some of the other annuals but that is the one that comes to mind.

If you live in LA you can see his work at the Gallerie Morpheus, the same gallery that represents HR Giger in America.

I first saw his work about 7 yrs ago, and in person it's flawless.
