The world changed on October 5, 2011 when Steve Jobs passed away due to pancreatic cancer. The entire world is mourning the lost of someone who truly changed the world by creating art through technology. Today, artists from all over the globe pay their respects to a legend.

December Artist of the Month – Chris Torres
Last but certainly not least is the artwork of Chris Torres. I have been told plenty of times that this is by far the most realistic image in the 2009 NovaStar Studios Fantasy Illustration Calendar. This is because Mr. Torres’ work comes with great attention to detail and an eye for true representation. As you can see, this is not work from an amateur.
Christ attend The School of Visual Arts and graduated with a Fine Arts Degree specializing in illustration. Since then, he has worked on several different projects including comic book covers, murals, CD design packaging and promotions, etc.
Recently, Chris’ work was displayed along with other artists at The Longwood Art Gallery at Hostos University located in the Bronx, NY under the title “Dream Sequence” (2009). Currently he is working on a number of projects for Atlas Unleashed.

October Artist of the Month – Ray Felix
This is bad. Really bad. I completely missed my October Artist of the Month because I got way too busy. However, that is no excuse. I told my readers never to abandon your blog and in turn I broke my own rules! That’s completely unacceptable. So as I am done yelling at myself and coming back from a two month hiatus, I present to you the October Artist of the Month – Ray Felix. He made an appearance back in May and his work is, as always, beautiful.

August Artist of the Month – Michele St. Martin
Once again the lovely and talented Michele St. Martin makes an appearance in the 2009 NovaStar Studios Fantasy Illustration Calendar by giving us a second illustration for the month of August. Another one of my favorites, this onecaptures humor and sexiness at the same time. Her first one was for the month of March. Recently, Miss St. Martin officially joined the Novastar Studio team. Congrats, girl! You will definitely bring a new style and more creativeness to the already gifted studio. Check out what this woman of hot skills has been up by following her on twitter here.

July Artist of the Month – James Rodriguez
This is without a doubt one of my favorite images in the 2009 Novastar Studio Fantasy Illustration Calendar. James’ image was also featured in the February month. Recently, James has been really busy. He’s working on the Sky Pirates Cover for Trade, a story for the Psychosis series and the first issue of the Chronicles of Sara. Talk about a workaholic.
Also, congratulations goes out to James’ company, Novastar Studios, who expanded their team by adding Michele St. Martin and Jorge Medina. Can’t wait what you guys have up your sleeve!
