Among many great pieces from the editorial exhibition of the Society of Illustrators, I happened to be amazed by Goni Montes’ piece, Tamiel. This piece called my attention with its bright lucid colors. At first glance, you may notice a brightly colored woman but soon you notice that this is an enormous woman on top of a forest. The way perspective was used impressed me. Goni Montes digitally illustrated this piece for the book Angelarium: Book of Emanations. Angelarium was a project started by Peter Mohrbacher. worked in the gaming industry and was the one to start this project. It’s based on the various angels in mythologies and created. The goal of the book is to explore the various ways angels can be envisioned in surreal ways. The book is being funded through a kickstarter, and so far $50,000 have been pledged.

this was the version done by Peter Mohrbacher. I find both pieces amazing. However, Goni’s calls my attention more because of the bright palette and composition. Although, Mohrbacher’s looks more defined and finished, I happen to like works like Monte’s . All in all, I really enjoyed the trip and it helped me see great work and makes me want to put in more effort into my work.
