MOONSHINE: DREAMWORKS ARTISTS...AFTER DARK!
From forty-five talented and prolific DreamWorks Studio Art Directors, Character Designers, Production Designers and Visual Development Artists comes the first title of its kind in which an Animation studio creates a book showcasing the art work that its artists create for the sake of creation. Moonshine features artwork that is made during the precious little time of day when the contributors are not working on stunning upcoming movies such as Puss in Boots , The Croods , Kung Fu The Kaboom of Doom , Megamind , Guardians , Scared Shrekless and Kung Fu Panda Holiday ; these artists amaze us with their individualistically styled images that they create after dark at DreamWorks Studios.

Having own a few DreamWorks art books, I always wondered when their collaborative art book would be out. And it's finally out, as Moonshine.
49 artists from DreamWorks has their personal art featured. This includes art from character designers, visual development artists, production designers and art directors. You will see very familiar names like Nicolas Marlet, Nathan Fowkes, Dominique Louis, Chris Appelhans (typo error on contents page, guys!), Paul Lasaine and a whole lot more of talented artists.
The art is beautiful and varied, ranging from sketches to background paintings. I must point out that this book feels very different from your DreamWorks movie art books as there's no overlaying theme and only personal works are featured.
I do recognise some of their styles and is pleasantly surprised and delighted to find that Samuel Michlap has a few of his impressionist-style paintings inside. Also characters from Nicolas Marlet are easy to spot.
The good part about this book is you get to discover new artists, together with their websites and blogs which are listed in the index. So you can check out even more art online.
Nice compilation.

So this is what the Dreamworks artists are up to after hours! There is such a wide range of subject matter they go over here. It's ranging from life studies, panoramic landscapes, and even Lilliputian, pinecone people. Especially loved artworks by Nicolas Marlet, Devin Crane, Nicolas Weis, Shane Prigmore, Paul Lasaine, Samuel Michlap, Pierre-Olivier Vincent, Ruben Perez, Dominque Louis, Tianyi Han, Paul Duncan, ZhaoPing Wei, and Patrick Mate. Quite a few of them there I may have to explore more of their amazing work in depth. Each artist has their own flair and style to show here. It also really displays how they developed their techniques and mediums, too.

A collection of DreamWorks artists' personal artwork, created in off-hours. It's not as wildly imaginative as I was hoping, but there is still an inspiring amount of talent to indulge in.
