Designer Couch: Dale May


This site is very interesting because it shows many artist and photographers of all types and shows their talent. I’d like to focus on this one photographer Dale May. His work is beautiful and inspiriting. He is based in New York and works in advertising, editorial, music and conceptual based imagery. His work is amazing and should be because he is the Creative Director of Post Image Group. He retouches high-end digital works.

His first photo is of multiple people around a pool table brawling. The rest of the pictures on the page are of women covered in tattoos in pin up poses. They all have beautiful scenery with either natural or textured environments. Some images are more surreal and fantasy like. Near the end he has animal posing in human environments. One is a bunny and cat bowling.

The image above is my favorite from this site from Dale. I find it the most inspiring because of the bright color choices and intense contrast. I admire pin up photography and the retro look mixed with the 21st century. I love the vintage-inspired look with a contemporary vibe to it. The inner lip tattoo is pretty cool too, I was going to get one of those but decided to get on in my ear instead.

I started looking around the site and searched under the Digital art category and found many artists with very expressive works. Some have graphic designed based images that burst with curves and colors. Many have brilliant colors and abstract shapes that look more like wallpaper. Although others look more like advertisement and commercial with models or creatively designed logos. This site is full of talented artist that are inspiring.
