i love brooke's work.
personally i don't think it's "art".
i don't think it's her intention... but maybe it is?
if i say it's art, it is. © duchamp
it's all about intention. most of the work that the NT faithful do, is not art.
my 2 cents.

personally i see it as more of a technical craft rather than an art.
if the subject matter were to change.. then it could definitely drift over towards art.

gfro, you sound silly. And even though I love brookie-poo and her work, elevating it to a high form of artwork is misguided and naive. In the end, it is simply meticulous attention to detail and tracing photos, however good she may be at it. There's a reason she calls herself an illustrator and not an Artiste.
And honestly, I think the latter label is bullshit. Being a designer/illustrator is much more favorable than tracing photos for the fuck of it and injecting some "meaning" into it. Brooke's work simply exists as either solutions for clients or monuments to her enormous ability.

Brooke has natural ability that 99% of graphics artist will never have. No matter how hard they try.

------------------
personal taste should not aloow one to become bitter and mean toward each other.brooke is very good... at what she does. to me it seems that most all of her work (that i've seen here) is derived from a photo. always giving her reference to draw from, straying only slightly from the original photo.
while contracts may need a tweak here an edit there, there is no real inspiration drawn from her work as the content hasn't changed only the media (from photo to illustration)
sometimes those designs, pieces that are thrown together are much more inspirational than these illustrated facsimiles
to sum up:
i like all of this
http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.htm…more than i do this
http://lifeinvector.com/even though it seems obvious that brooke is much more intricate in her approach, i am more inspired and provoked by banksy
there are others i could have compared to i only wanted to make a point and had no intention of insulting anyone in the process, i hope i haven't

it's tracing. great attention to detail and gradients!

or is it design?

but is it art?

You don't have to be good at illustrator and be able to trace a photo to be a good designer.
Designing is about problem solving.
Have said that the nd result is a bit mind blowing

I'm saying that too many people just slap crap together and call them selves artists. Brooke has natural ability that 99% of graphics artist will never have. No matter how hard they try.

why don't you all just suck her dick already?

sorry - i don't understand what you are trying to say with this statement.. ? the only creative boundaries between artists and designers are their own limitations.

everyone sucks compared to brooke

FYI- a graphic designer by todays standards, to me, is about 8 notches below an artist.
