Urban Art - Urban Retro

Urban Retro are staging an artist head to head challenge called 'The Mouse vs. The Brush'. Here's what they have to say about the project...

The basis of this project is simple. We want to explore the difference between computer based art and traditional forms of creating art. 2 artists go head to head and create an art print using either the mouse or the paint brush. The art will then be sold as 50 Limited Edition Art prints along with 100 Sets of 4 button badges produced by each artist

In the first part of this project we have Ben the Illustrator using the mouse and Lou Pimentel using the Brush. We chose these 2 artists as they both have a bold and colourful style of art and their characters (Ben's Speakerdog and Lou's Cherry) make for a perfect friendly battle. Both artists are young up and coming artists with great talent.

Sounds great and the results are very bright as you can see from Lou Pimentel's badge (right). You can buy the resulting artwork in their online shop. I hope to see more contributions soon.
