Research portfolio.

The animators I chose to research, I did because they have been my inspirations to my work for years and feel like the will always be a part of my work in many research tasks, I have researched people that I am not familiar with also. Most of the people that inspire my work and the art style that also inspires my work is surrealism, I like the concept, I like manipulating reality in animations and photographs, this is why I very much like Rotoscoping, I like the ability to trace the real image and edit it while I'm at it, in graphics I like digital manipulation for the same reason, that you can use existing photos or images to create something that is impossible. In photography I like Panoramas and long exposure photographs because I like the distortion and I like the smoothness. In art I like surrealism and cubism and futurism because I like the concept of time and the warping of reality and creating impossible things with a brush and some paint. Everything that I study and everything that I learn in the creative field, I'm always taken by surrealism and the idea of non-existing things.

Ryan Woodward
Ryan Woodward is a brilliantly talented animator with an eye for movement and does a wide variety of work, including sketches, animations, story boarding and music videos.
His most famous piece is most probably "Thought Of You" because of how whimsical and beautiful it is, I also believe that he has been involved in some cartoons as a story board artist and Animator. Works that he has been involved in include, Thor 2, Where the wild things are, and advert for Ford (Zombies) and Space Jam.
I very much like the style that he works with often, very loose and fluid.
I got most of my research information from his website at : http://ryanwoodwardart.com/

Michael Bosanko
This person is probably a great inspiration to my interest in photography, along with Dali.
I very much like the artists style and the uniqueness of his artistic skills.
I like the results you can get with light graffiti because it is so surreal, and when you produce something of such beauty it give you such a high.
I like that this artist also has a great sense of humor in his pieces of work.

Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali was a surreal artist who became very famous for his unique abilities to create such great pieces, often unearthly creatures with everyday object.
I try very hard not to write about him every time I research artists, because I feel like I do go back to this artist every time and would rather write about someone else before I run out of things to say about Dali. I have many methods of researching Dali though, be it from: www.salvadordali.com/‎, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dalí‎ or thedali.org/‎
There are many, many sites dedicated to the life of Dali and feel researching him more would be an easy task, as much as he inspires my work.
