The Art of John Salminen

John T. Salminen (born January 18, 1945) is an award-winning American watercolor painter who is well known for his realistic urban landscapes. His work was described as ���compelling street scenes packed with detail” by Watercolor Magic magazine’s senior editor, Loraine Crouch. 

Salminen was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree from the University of Minnesota. He lives in a self-built log cabin surrounded by 40 acres (160,000 m2) of pine forest in Duluth, Minnesota. For nearly 34 years, Salminen was a high school art teacher. Although he started college as a music major, Salminen became enchanted by the art studio during his high school years. He painted while teaching high school students.

So does benefit and stila. And putting translucent powder over your lipstick makes it waterproof and matte. You really shouldn’t need to do much touching up on anything ever.

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

Made new posters for the Harry Potter series, with a little twist ;) In case you scrolled too fast and missed the instructions, you have to drag or click each poster!

I decided to have a bit more fun and tried to reimagine the book covers with the same trick. With research, I found out that there is a thing called “photochromic” ink that can change or reveal colors if exposed to UV or sunlight. The colors will revert back to original once the light source is removed. 

Applying the same concept to the book covers, I thought maybe if the white parts can be printed with light reactive inks, so once you go outside and expose the books to the sun, the hidden messages will be revealed. And when you go back inside, the secret images will immediately change back to white and become invisible again. 

I published the whole project with detailed descriptions over here. Then if you want the individual rebloggable posts, I compiled them here.
