The netpaper about Elftowners, by Elftowners, for Elftowners.
Featured Cover Artist [Empee]
by [Mordigen]
Our chosen featured Artist for this issue is none other than Elftown's own [Empee]. A creative mind of many talents, [
Empee], a nineteen, soon-to-be 20-year-old artist from
Switzerland, has developed an amazing and inspiring talent with graphite and paper. Ranging from fantasy to surreal masterpieces such as our featured cover to astounding portraitures, Alexa demonstrates her skill at blending traditional graphite and inks and her colours seem to jump off the page.
As an older member of Elftown, she has built up a rather large fan base and extensive collection of pieces, a selection of which can be found at
Alexa's Pics and
Alexa's Pics2. Her inspirations come from various sources, but are mostly focused on such fantasy and surreal pop culture icons as the
Lord of the Rings and director Tim Burton's classic creations.
A versatile artist, her style can change from classical and traditional (as seen in her photograph-lik
e portraits) to a remarkable contemporary and pop feel (found in her caricatures) to a beautiful renaissance-style rendering of many of her angel inspired subject to art nouveau pieces. Alexa miraculously blends all of these elements to create a self-defined style in her original, inspired pieces.
Her ability to combine different elements and sources of inspiration prove her to be an amazing, seasoned artist who can surely withstand the test of time as a force to be reckoned with.
Kudos to you, [Empee], and congratulations and many thanks for being our featured cover artist this issue!
More about the Cover Piece
A beautiful surrealist-inspired piece, this cover illustrates a scene of life, death, growth and rebirth. Drawn in vibrant coloured pencils, the work comes to life and seems to pop off the page. It is a beautiful and fitting piece to introduce our "Reincarnation and Resurrection" issue of The Town Herald.
