Link to the Show / Show NotesDermot is referred to by some as a concept artist's artist. We're certain that's because not only do producers and directors who hire him love his work, but so do his peers.
(Here at the 'Bar, we just call him a beastâthis dude is killin' it.)
As a matter of fact, his whole filmography is filled with ridiculous eye candy. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, three of the Harry Potter movies, Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, V for Vendetta and he just finished up on Alice in Wonderland with Tim Burton.
Dermot often gets hired to create characters, creatures and costumes, but don't sleep on his environmentsâthey're the sh*t as well. Take a look at the images on his site for Gotham City and those castles from The Chamber of Secrets.
We chatted with this Irish born artist from his home in the U.K. and he gave us an ear full. Power confesses to being a bit of a talker (he is). We confess to suffering from the same thing (we do). But what he had to say, especially as it pertained to concept art, was definitely worth hearing.
In the interview, he describes what it's like working in the film industry, dealing with producers and directors, and how to handle George Lucas himself deciding the fate of your ideas.
Also covered are his eight years as a comic book artist, how he once lost his portfolio on a city bus and what's up with that new blog anyways.
Mad fun and hi-jinx with Mr. Dermot Power. He's a talented guy who stays in demand and we can see why.
Oh, and do check out his brand new blog featuring the panel-a-day webcomic thing he's been running (a hint: read it from the very bottom up).
