Yo Hope, can you post more character sketches? I know you have more lying around somewhere. I like 'em. And if they were canvases, I'd buy them. But not for much. I bag groceries...
Paper..
Or... Plastic...
Oh yeah, expect a few contributions from me to "The Babble". Just some sketches I've done. They're not great/good. Toy-ish.

Here's that toy-ish sketch I was talking about earlier. It's an unfinished concept-thngy I started last night. There's alot more detail but I guess it was too light for the scanner to pick up. So I had to edit the brightness or whatever in photoshop. There's alot more space on the paper too. I just zoomed in a bit.

^Something about the man's head bothers me... I'm not sure what it else. It's a bit crooked.
I think I'll either finish that sketch with a pen or make the pencil strokes alot more uhhh.... stronger. or something.

Thanks KRAUT but that's not the only problem... i think his forehead is too small and... I don't know... The left side of the face kills me. it's weird... the actual sketch looks okay but that image i just posted now... well... maybe it got distorted or someshit... And something's wrong with his neck.
I never took any drawing or anatomy classes (not yet anyways) so I still suck at drawing humans and whatnot. I'll post that same sketch after i make a few adjustments and after I add scenery or something.

an interresting thing to think about is the things we teach ourselves. We all learned similar stuff in schools and once youve been finished with the institutions and you still study certain things you like its strange to look at yourself from outside and see what you've gained, what youve become talented at and so forth.

Objectives:
First commercial astronaut flight by exceeding 100 kilometers (328,000 ft)
Results:
Cheered down the runway by onlookers, the White Knight turbojet launch aircraft took off at 647 a.m. PST, carrying SpaceShipOne under its fuselage to an altitude of 47,000 feet. At 750 a.m. PST, flight engineer Matt Stinemetz released the spaceship and test pilot Mike Melville immediately fired the hybrid rocket motor. The rocket burn lasted for 76 seconds rocketing the vehicle to more than 2.9 Mach or 2150 miles an hour. At motor burn out, SpaceShipOne was at 180,000 feet and from there coasted the rest of the way into space reaching an apogee of 328,491 feet. Melvill experienced weightlessness for approximately 3 ½ minutes as the vehicle slowly decelerated to apogee and then yielding to the pull of gravity commenced its historic return to earth in the craft's unique entry or feathered configuration. During the descent the pilot experienced forces greater than 5.0 G's as the vehicle accelerated again to 2.9 Mach. Melvill reconfigured the vehicle back to a glider at 57,000 feet and over the next 20 minutes enjoyed a leisurely descent to a graceful landing at Mojave, the Nation's first inland Space Port.

Police officers in riot gear line a deceptively picturesque Biscayne Boulevard during a protest against the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) on Nov. 18 in Miami. The FTAA, being discussed by trade officials in Miami, would expand the North American Free Trade Agreement among the United States, Canada and Mexico to include all countries in the Americas. The buildings behind the police officers are set up for a carnival.

Things are "retrofitted" after the fact of the original manufacture because the old, consumer-based technology wasn't keeping up the demand. Things have to work on a day-to-day basis and you do whatever necessary to make it work. So you let go of the style and it becomes pure function. The whole visual philosophy of the film is based on this social idea.
The city was getting very dense. Buildings 3,000-3,500 feet high would have old, ten and twenty story buildings underneath, functioning as service accesses to the huge megastructures. Cables and generator tubes, delivering air and waste, would go up outside of the old buildings because they were still there. The street level becomes a service alley to the megastructures towering above.

There are lots of magazines dedicated to japanese fashion. Some of them dress up like schoolgirls, goths, firemen, religious icons, all sorts. I never understood the culture of dressing up. I think it is a girl related phenomenon, but it is interesting.
I like the concept of clothing and why we dress how we do and how that signifies to other people our interestests and feelings, its like waving a really big flag. But every one seems to be oblivious to how important dressing is, as a social communicator.

i would have to strongly disagree. between high fashion whores. hipsters and video rappers alone, people are very aware of thier appearance. id be more concerned with the actual interests and feelings that theyre communicating through it

I've had several conversations with graphic artists and artists who work in clean lines and such. And all, including myself, find artists who are free and "sloppy" to be incredible artists. Inspirational if you will. I found it to be really interesting that artists who work in such graphic, clean terms would be so inspired by very non-graphic works.

right on. graphic artists, it would apear, coming from a background of hyper cleanliness and structure, have a whole new level of appreciation for a well executed mess or very loose style. i actually had a couple good yet brief conversations with mr. 48:16 on this topic. i know i hold a certain level of envy for people who can pull it off. there seems to be no thin line between garbage and brilliance in that department. i'm slowly gaining more confidence to let go and loosen up, its certainly a leap of faith.
i wonder if its a two way street? does cy twombly get off on flat graphics?

if i could loosen up and relax, i'm convinced i could be 100x's more productive. i've always envied minimalist stuff for the restraint and vision that it shows. i know 'restraight' and 'loose' probably sound oppositional, but i mean 'restraint' as in, not over doing things. not needing to paint the whole picture, in order to paint the whole picture. the less strokes involved, the more impressed i am (generally speaking). there are of course plenty of exceptions, but i think the people i care about understanding me, will. i cant say i care for cy twombly much, or really even know that much about him, but i can say i respect him for presenting scribbles as his art and standing behind it unashamed.
if i could express everything i feel with a single line, i'd never need a second.

Seek i think it depends on your mode of working. A lot of , miniamlism comes from the adding a lot of stuff then slowly removing the bits that dont help, until you have just enough to say wwhat you want to say and nothing more.
seeking
08-04-2004, 07:20 PM
true.
i overthink the fuck out of stuff, and i expect entirely too much of myself. i never consider the fact that barnett newman (who i've mentoned twice today, breaking my previous all time record of....once, ha) who painted incredibly minimal stuff, would work on the background of a painting for months. some times on and off for years. if i have to spend more than a few minutes on something, i start to feel like i'm failing and i begin to lose my vision. see, i never learned the 'process' of doing anything. i've never tried to draw something (figures, still lifes etc) by sketching the basic chapes, getting the right perportions, then going in and adding all the details. i draw the final product the first time. which, admittidly is a piss poor way of achieving things, and explains a whole lot about me and my personality in one example, but is honest none the less. it also explains why ive been in such a rut with graff lately i think. i make complete letters, then wonder why i can't think of shit to add to them. duhhhhhhhh.

LUE TREE — CLAUDE CORMIER
The Montreal landscape designer Claude Cormier is infatuated with color and the idea of artificiality — past projects have included a painted blue lawn at the Canadian Center for Architecture and a "Lipstick Forest" winter garden of 52 pink tree trunks made of concrete. In "Blue Tree," he intended to camouflage a solitary Monterey pine by covering its gnarled branches with 80,000 sky-blue Christmas ornaments; when viewed against a blue sky, the tree's form would disappear. In fact, the balls caused the tree to stand out no matter what the weather, and it now makes an arresting silhouette against a backdrop of vineyards and hills. But Mr. Cormier is after more than shock value. The tree advances his argument that landscape architecture, even at its most naturalistic, essentially transforms nature into artifice, and that accepting this opens the mind to the extraordinary.

EUCALYPTUS SOLILOQUY — WALTER HOOD
Walter Hood, the Oakland, Calif., designer and Berkeley professor, is known for his inner-city projects, but in his Cornerstone garden he incorporated materials normally thought of as urban to create a work of pastoral poetry. In "Eucalyptus Soliloquy," 12-foot-tall screens of rusted steel posts and metal mesh that would look at home in any squalid housing project instead hold a richly textured patchwork of fallen leaves, branches, acorns and curls of bark from a single eucalyptus species. The connection with the surrounding landscape is direct — one of Sonoma's many eucalyptus groves lies just beyond the garden, shading a tumbledown house. But the proximity of living trees also gives the installation of dried remnants a contemplative, almost elegiac air, making it a sort of horticultural memento mori.

BREAK OUT — TOM LEADER
Mr. Leader, who worked with Peter Walker for 16 years before opening his own Berkeley studio in 2001, says his garden "draws on the vernacular culture of rural California" and "is about barnyards, porches and Johnny Cash." He puts a maze of 35 beat-up, swinging screen doors inside massive hay-bale walls. Tiny speakers broadcast the zap and pop of flies being caught in an electric bug trap, as well as distorted fragments of Cash singing "Ring of Fire." A black refrigerator holds cold drinks for those who negotiate the maze, along with fried chicken dinners and other "food for Johnny." The installation taps into the past of anyone who grew up with the smell of hay and the sound of screen doors creaking open and slapping shut, and still evokes a feeling of nostalgia in those who didn't.

[NINNANANNA] A LULLABY GARDEN — ANDY CAO
In a previous evocation of his native Vietnam, his 1998 "Glass Garden" in Los Angeles, Andy Cao used glass pebbles — 45 tons of them. "[Ninnananna] A Lullaby Garden," his Cornerstone entry, uses almost no glass, and yet the garden has a glasslike quality thanks to miles of glistening nylon monofilament that was hand-knit into carpets by 60 Vietnamese villagers working for three months. The carpets, in tones of faded gold and orange, are draped over a wildly undulating sculptured landform that descends at one point into a midnight blue vortex, from which the sounds of a Vietnamese lullaby emanate. Removing your shoes and wandering over Mr. Cao's dreamlike landscape plays with the mind's sense of proportion — you feel like Gulliver striding across the Land of Lilliput.

A SMALL TRIBUTE TO IMMIGRANT WORKERS — MARIO SCHJETNAN
The Mexico City architect and landscape designer Mario Schjetnan sees his installation as a microcosm of California: a garden maintained by Mexican immigrants. "A Small Tribute to Immigrant Workers" mixes politics and aesthetics, the symbolic and the literal. Three walls divide space but also stand as symbols — rusty metal for the United States-Mexican border, red-painted plywood for people who crossed the border illegally and those who died trying, and stones seeping water for the immigrants' strength and tears. Scattered throughout are photos and stories of workers, including those who built the installation, as well as a shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe and other mementos of Mexico. Fruits and vegetables grow in raised wooden beds, and a placard invites those who enter to water, prune and weed.
