Artist of the Day - Claire Cansick

ARTISTS PORTFOLIO

NOTES ON THIS ARTIST:

I love Claire's figurative work. The elongated bodies and attention to specific body parts makes them stand out because she is still able to keep the body in equilibrium. Overly long legs do not look odd, but merge into a continuity of form that is hard to achieve. My favorite is "Run". But make sure don't miss her landscapes and stickmen either. Great work!

Please leave this artist a note here if you like their work.

If you'd like to be considered for the Artist of the Day, please email a link to your portfolio and I'll be happy to take a look. All emails to:

The Creative Ecosystem

What Are We?

Since its creation five years ago immortalartist has sought to be different from most other creative websites. We wanted to break the rules for how creativity was perceived online.

Static Information Flow

Most content on a web is static. It does not move or change with the users of the site. These are static flat websites. "This apple is red" will still mean the apple is red five years later. We see information as a flow. Creativity is what creates the flow and in turn the apple becomes whatever color we want it to be every moment of its existence on the site.

Emotion Information Flow

What is social media? Social media is the exact opposite of a static website. Put into its simplest terms "Social Media is Emotional Information Flow". On social media, the apple may remain red, but we are sad, happy and angry about it.

Every post you make or respond to on social media represents both a flow of information and a flow of the users emotions. Sometimes creativity is added. The apple is blue because I say it is! But it is not the rule that it is always applied.

The Creative Ecosystem

We are a creative ecosystem. We employ information that helps creatives both learn and promote themselves. We employ a constant flow of creativity which changes the information content constantly. And we employ emotions that allows those who interact with it to see it an emotional gut level.
