Art Attack Friday: Artgerm photo

For the most part, I've always featured everyday Joe's on Art Attack Friday. This week, I'm changing things up by featuring a professional artist. Stanley "Artgerm" Lau is by far one of the most talented artists I have ever seen. It was actually surprising to me to see Artgerm's work because I instantly recognized it from various magazine ads. It's nice to finally put a name to the works I've seen before. 

When Artgerm isn't updating his Deviant, he's doing work for his company Imaginary Friends Studious. They've done work for Penny Arcade, Cartoon Network, DC, EA and plenty of other companies. For more info and how Stanley became such a great artist, check out this interview. It's old but a great read. Otherwise, go look at all the pretty pictures.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing when I saw that.

Pocari Sweat is such a disgustingly ironic name to the foreigner. When I visited Japan and first saw the beverage, the first thing that popped into my head was "dude... they drink SWEAT?".

Nice post, that's some incredible artwork. That picture of Morrigan is awesome, so is the picture of Sakura enjoying her Pocari Sweat, lol.

I also didn't know it existed in juice box form!
