Today the jungle is shaking! Our first artbook is officially released!

As you may know, we teamed up with CFSL Ink to bring this wonderful collection of images to your bookshelf or coffee table :  Gorilla Artbook Vol 1! It’s an amazing melting pot of art, with many different styles but constant quality, by talents from over 15 different countries.

The book is hardcover, sized 24×28 cm (9.4×11 inches approximately) and it holds more than 250 pages of stunning images by more than 70 of our artists!  They covered several themes such as romance, adventure, horror… but you can also find some work in progress and a collection of unpublished fake movie posters, done just for you, everything with a clean layout and beautiful full pages!
The cover is illustrated by Clo, Devin Platts & Thomas Scholes, and the book is designed by Victoria Maderna & Federico Piatti. Mockup by Nicolab.

“What do you think Nico?”

“We’re done!”

CFSL and other active members of the art community are doing a charity project to help Japan: http://tsunami.cfsl.net/
They have been joined in their efforts by Katsuya Terada, Arludik Gallery and Gorilla Artfare.



Artists are invited to submit pieces of art for sale. Anyone can submit and there will be various auction sales throughout several weeks.

There will be an exhibition/auction sale in the famous Parisian gallery Arludik, and at the end an artbook will be published. All benefits from the auctions and the artbook sales will go to Give2Asia
They are still setting things up, you will find more information on the above link soon.



FAQ
-You can send either traditional OR digital pieces. If it’s digital, they will do a fine art print of it for the sale.
-Images done just for the event are preferred, but if you don’t have time and still want to help you can send an existing piece.
-The image HAS TO be personal work and it cannot based on existing licenses, for copyright issues.
-All profits go to Give2Asia



IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: Send your image(s) at tsunami@cfsl.net along with your name, a link to your work (website/ blog), saying that you want the image(s) to be sold for Japan relief.



More info later! Please help spread the word, thank you!

Last Monday Gorilla Artfare turned three years old! This time the celebration is a little late, and a bit less loud, but still all kinds of awesome :D

The theme for this activity was “A song that inspires you”: we each chose a song that we liked, and made something inspired by it. Enjoy!

Today our blog turns two! And in order to celebrate such a wonderful occasion we decided to make some art, cause that’s what this all is about after all. In order to give it a more interesting twist, each of us got to cover, reinvent, reinterpret, make some fanart and give our own personal flavor to the work of another Gorilla. It was an exciting experience and the results are just awesome and fresh.
Ladies and gents, on to the artz:

Check out for updates soon…

It’s *almost* that time of the year again… GorillaArtfare turns TWO this Sunday and, just like last year, a wonderful art celebration is on its way!

So on January 24th, keep your eyes open and get your tastebuds ready for a massive feast of EYECANDY!!!

See you all on Sunday! ;)

Today is our blog’s first anniversary! So to celebrate such a joyful occasion, we decided to do something special for our readers and supporters.

The activity of choice was “draw another member’s portrait”. Some names were drawn from a hat, some chose to illustrate each other, some people were buried with deadlines and couldn’t make it, but all in all we all feel the outcome has been fun, exciting and rewarding. We hope you feel the same way! :)

Enough of the talk, let’s show the ARTZ! :D
