It's Noirsville, a visually oriented blog celebrating the vast and varied sources of inspiration, all of the resulting output, and all of the creative reflections back, of a particular style/tool of film making used in certain film/plot sequences or for a films entirety that conveyed claustrophobia, alienation, obsession, and events spiraling out of control, that came to fruition in the roughly the period of the last two and a half decades of B&W film.
I stumbled upon this excellent blog and would not have expected to see one of my drawings on here, but low and behold there is one of my drawings on here ! I wonder if I will find another ?
You might, which one was yours? I try to credit the artists on the Noir Art and the Noir & Neo Noir photos when I can lately I've been using Google lens to try and identify works. With Graphic art most of the frames are not individually signed so it's tough to credit. I look at the site as a sort of filter of all things Noir.
I would really like it if the author of this blog would at least credit the artists used, I know it may somewhat "mess with the vibe" but so much art is just taken these days and used elsewhere without attribution. This blog would not exist if not for the hard work of artists/photographers. Fair enough if an artist's name cannot be tracked down, but in my case it should have been easy to find my name and attribute me as the artist.
Like I mentioned, if it's signed I figure that's adequate enough, but like you mentioned some artists are hard to track down or you can't read the sig. Or it's just a frame from a graphic comic. This is a review site that tries to show examples celebrating the vast and varied sources of inspiration, all of the resulting output, and all of the creative reflections back, of a particular style/tool of film making used in certain film/plot sequences or for a films entirety that conveyed claustrophobia, alienation, obsession, and events spiraling out of control, that came to fruition in the roughly the period of the last two and a half decades of B&W film.
Hi - I would appreciate if you could add my name Blurhead (philip gray) to the above art https://www.deviantart.com/blurhead/art/pin-up-girl-Cheree-311860488, and by all means there may be a couple more on there you may be interested in showing. Apologies for the tone of my comment(s) but I have seen seeing so many unattributed examples of my work online, plus recently found out that someone was trying to sell my artworks as NFT's.
Ok fixed with a link blurhead, Some of the art I filter off of Google search words, but with Google you can trace stuff to the artist most of the time, sometimes I get suitable subjects from pinterest which usually has no link or accreditation. I'm an artist myself and this blog gets 200-300 hits a day it can be good exposure for artists. It's much easier if you sign your stuff or at least embed your name in the url. If you find any more let me know and I'll add your link again.
Many thanks, this is a great blog by the way I have just started looking through everything, I really like the general vibe, and those pulp covers are brilliant. have you got a link to your own art ?
There's a few acrylic paintings on page one of this flicker page. https://www.flickr.com/photos/26197732@N08/page6 I've gone more into photography and manipulating images with Photoshop and Paintshop, and also making short Film Noir. Here is the first Youtube example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ4LDN6JHD0&t=22s

I may be more forthcoming in allowing my other artworks to be used if at least I am attributed.

DeletePhilip, if you have a web page where your work is displayed I'd be happy to put in a link.
