Are You Up for the Challenge?

For the past year Fotolia has featured exciting artwork from some of the best French artists, 10 to be exact, in their TEN Collection. Now they are challenging us to take on those artists by creating work that is just as awesome. To make the contest even more interesting there is over $300,000 worth of prizes up for grabs. Got your attention?

Each artist had a theme and used pictures from Fotolia to create a stunning psd. We must pick an artist, revamp their theme, and use at least 3 images they used in our own psd file. Fotolia has provided all the artists’ images. We can use images from any of the TEN and our personal images as well. I wrote about these four artists: Leroy (travel), Elroy (money), Joolz (food), and Neopen (lifestyle). So I would like to stick to what is in their files. Right now I’m leaning toward the food theme, but I’ve still got time to decide. The contest ends October 10, 2012. Are you in?

Get It While It’s Hot – Artist Neopen

Available for free for 24 hours starting now is the PSD file of this image above, done by artist Nicolas “Neopen” André,. Fotolia, the stock imaging site, hosts the Ten Collection for which they’ve asked 10 French artists to create a unique high quality piece using images found on their site.  Their photoshop file is then offered for free for a day, after it costs $9. This month’s artist Neopen is a French art director, who was enthralled with design at at a young age. Many people agree that education is important and aspire to excel in traditional learning institutions. However education comes in many forms and “school” isn’t for everyone. This certainly applies to Neopen. He is an artist who removed himself from school and teaches himself, quite successfully, with freedom to work on what moves him. He’s done some of everything and has had clientele such as Sean John, Warner music, and EMI. By the way, if you want to learn about a pretty dope non-traditional design institution click here.

At the moment, Neopen has a film making and motion graphics collaboration called Das Schloss with fellow Ten Collection artist Damien “Elroy” Vignaux. So do check out his videos on Vimeo. Also watch his Ten Collection interview below and view examples of his graphic/web design work.
