Art is my only antidote. Refining my skills and techniques to anatomically draw the figure, focusing on rendering with intricate detail through many media, the characters and creatures conjured reflect a relationship amongst themselves and also with their environment, often in tales of innocence, dark romance, duality, and fear. With a stroke of my brush, layer upon layer of color saturates the paint surface to illuminate the lights and deepen the shadows, capturing three-dimensional forms in a two-dimensional restraint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversely through illustration, I have been drawn to the world of special effects, exploring the boundaries of sculpture by applying my two-dimensional designs to three-dimensional make-up effects and prosthetics. Through this combination of visual and performing art, I can create something more than just a fixed scene or expression on canvas or stone; I create a simulation of life itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the creator, I strive for perfection in realism, to continuously grow as an artist in everything that I do. Looking up to the Renaissance masters Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Caravaggio, and the countless others who held a standard of art that is absent from the world today, I aspire to reach the perfection of that golden age of art. Despite the familiar connotation of the word “effects,” the name “KOSART Effects” not only encompasses my alter ego of special effects, but also of all my art and everything that I am. The word “effect” means “end result” and “the extent to which something succeeds.” In a way, “KOSART Effects” is more of a promise to myself and to the world, a promise best said in Mary Shelley’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Frankenstein&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;, “So much has been done. More, far more, will I achieve; treading in the footsteps already marked, I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ABOUT THE ARTIST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;J. Anthony Kosar, age 23, is an award-winning artist who recently graduated in May 2008 with highest honors as the Valedictorian of his class from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His passion is to create with life being his greatest influence. Drawing from the world around him as well as his imagination, art has always been an integral part of Kosar’s life. Since he began creating, Kosar enjoys experimenting and working in many medias and different subject matter to always grow as an artist, believing that the moment an artist becomes comfortable in whatever he or she is doing, it is the moment they stop growing as an artist. Ranging from Traditional 2D and Traditional 3D media to many Digital medias, he specializes in Fine Art, Illustration, and Sculpture, but is no stranger to the world of Graphic Design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because his passion for the arts began at a young age while performing on stage and painting on canvas, Kosar's duality of performing art and visual art has led him to the world of Special Effects. In 2002 at age 16, he created his first foam-latex mask, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;The Zombie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt; Since then, he has created make-up, effects, and props for numerous plays, commercials, conventions, feature and short-lengthed films, and has held several Make-up and Effects workshops throughout the Chicagoland area. During Summer 2007, Kosar interned in Hollywood at Stan Winston Studio (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Jurassic Park, Predator, Aliens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;) working on several commercials, including Xbox’s “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Halo 3: Believe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt;” campaign, and the recently released film &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt; and James Cameron’s upcoming major motion picture &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Avatar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt; Also, while in Hollywood, Kosar studied sculpture under acclaimed Hollywood sculptor and creature designer Jordu Schell of Schell Sculpture Studio. In 2008, Kosar sculpted his first commercially made Halloween mask for Zagone Sudios, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" class="bold" &gt;Gargoyle,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" &gt; and has been working on several more Halloween masks for Zagone’s 2009 line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Byzantine Iconography to Special Effects, J. Anthony Kosar takes his art from Saints to Beasts and everything in between, denying himself the luxury of ever being comfortable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" class="bold"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span class="bold"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;AWARDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span class="bold"&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;Dong Kingman Award&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;at American Watercolor Society's 142nd Annual International Exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;First Place Award - Adult Category &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;at Naperville Art League's Annual Public Art Competition "On The Edge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span class="bold"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;Best of Show&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;at 24th Annual Illinois Watercolor Society Open Exibition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:78%;" &gt;Peter C.

The term "giclée" &lt;em&gt;(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")&lt;/em&gt; is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclée prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto your choice of fine art substrates.&lt;/span&gt;             &lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;What Can I, the Art Collector, expect?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Using the highest quality digital scanning backs from Phase One to achieve the best possible color accuracy, contrast and sharpness, Kosar's original artwork is photographed, then digital enhancement and color correction are performed with the latest imaging technology to ensure each print is as close to the original as possible. Prints are then produced on state of the art Epson printers, using a seven color pigmentation process with 100% archival inks and media. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                                          &lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;What About Archivability?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, giclée prints have undergone extensive third party fade testing. While the predicted display life depends on many variables, giclée prints made with wide-gamut pigmented inks are estimated to last over 80 years without noticeable fade. All testing information comes from independent testing labs and from the manufacturers of the materials used. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;              &lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;Why                  Should I Invest in J. Anthony Kosar Giclée Prints?&lt;br /&gt;          &lt;/b&gt;The growing                  recognition within the art community of the giclée print makes it a                  recognizable addition to any art collection. In                  addition to its outstanding visual quality, the giclée is one                  of the closest representations of any original art, and is more affordable and is the next best thing to the original painting.  In a troubled economy, one of the only items who's value is increases over time is art.  Being so close to the original in quality and with such a limited number of signed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;giclée prints available of each work of art, the value is sure to rise with time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paraphrased from &lt;a href="http://www.osiobrown.com/giclee_printing.html"&gt;Osio-Brown Editions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/39484327901091779-8431840757085096640?l=kosarteffectscollection.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/39484327901091779/posts/default/8431840757085096640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/39484327901091779/posts/default/8431840757085096640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kosarteffectscollection.blogspot.com/2009/06/facts-about-giclee-prints.html' title='Facts about Giclée Prints'/><author><name>J.
