Finlay Cowan - Fantasy art 的興趣
|
| 一般 | I'm just 'interested' in general... art, music, culture. I collect myths and stories both ancient and modern, I have a passion for history... especially Celtic and Scandinavian. I love Scotland, Ireland, Wales...all the Scandinavian Countries, their people and culture... and the same for Eastern Europe and Russia. I have also accumulated a resource on the Orient, the Middle East, Sufism and especially the Arabian Nights...and I'm an expert on the Indian Mutiny of 1857 (go on, test me - 'dulce et decorum pro patria mori' ) | | 音樂 | Wagner... really, really loud. | | 電影 | A Matter of Life and Death, Apocalypse Now, Fight Club... Night Porter... European art movies. | | 電視 | TV sucks... reality TV sucks... - reality sucks. | | 書籍 | Anything by Sir Richard F Burton ('Pura omnia, pura est' - to the pure all things are pure ) or Lesley Blanche (The Sabres of Paradise). Robert Graves (The White Goddess). Peter Hopkirk (The Great Game), Isabelle Eberhard (In the Shadow of Islam), Paul Bowles (Let It Come Down), Brion Gysin (The Process) Kipling (Kim). | | 偶像 | Sir R.F Burton. Lesley Blanche. Corto Maltese (fictional character)... amnesty international, WWF, NSPCC and all the forgotten numbers who ever stood up against fascists, dictators and genocidal tyrants. |

Finlay Cowan - Fantasy art 的自我介紹 |
關於我：
Designer, author, illustrator, interior designer and musician.
Author and illustrator of four books on Fantasy Art, album sleeve designer for Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Muse, Audioslave and many others), author of a series of graphic novels, story development and designer for film and TV (Oliver Stones 'Alexander' etc). Graphic designer working in the luxury sector and interior designer of bars, restaurants and cafes.
There is a new website due to launch in July featuring more work and a regular newsletter... www.finlaycowan.co.uk
BOOK 5 is finished and I am taking a break from Fantasy art to work on two books on design, a novel and a travel book (I've taken up journalism). There are a number of watercolours exhibitions coming up and various collaborations with museums and other artists.
BOOKS 3 and 4 - My fourth book 'Dragons and Fantasy Beasts' was published spring 2008 - the second in a series of pocket books, the first 'Incredible Characters' is out now. ... available in most European languages and also now in Chinese and Korean.
 
ALBUM SLEEVES
I worked as an album sleeve designer with Storm Thorgerson for years... mostly for Pink Floyd but I also did work for dozens of others including Muse, Audioslave, Mars Volta and The London Philharmonic. I was responsible for the concept behind Pink Floyds most successful poster 'Back Catalogue'.
DESIGN
Running my design consultancy 'Endless design Ltd' in London, producing branding, ideas, art direction and strategy for global luxury brands and causal projects (i.e charities etc)
INTERIOR DESIGN
Currently working on several interior design projects.
GRAPHIC NOVELS 1 and 2
I'm also working on a series of graphic novels featuring Subway Slim. I finished the first 'Miss London' in 2006... a series of words with images and music about disintegrating twenty somethings in London. see myspace.com/subwayslim for more info. Graphic novel fans should add me on that profile.
FILM and TV
In 2002 the BBC comissioned me to develop a series based on my long term interest in the Arabian Nights. In 2003 I worked as an illustrator on Oliver Stones production of 'Alexander'. I continue to develop feature animations with Insight Productions and other partners.
BOOK 2
'Drawing and Painting Fantasy Worlds' was published in June 2006 and is surpassing the success of the first. Ten languages and counting.
BOOK 1
My first book 'Drawing and Painting Fantasy Figures' has been a huge success in several languages. But please DONT buy it... I've moved on... its finished, kaput.
MUSIC
Working with my band 'Night Porter'. We are currently making the transition from 'doom cabaret' to 'dirty electroclash'...
With my wife Janette Swift, interior designer and stylist...
-- ( I'd like to get in touch with Sean Richardson and Ian C Taylor if they read this...)
