Art and Business

Nikki — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:52:48 +0000

Here's an incredible article about art and business: [link]
If either of those interests you (whether you own a business or would like to make a career of art), it's definitely worth reading. In fact, especially if you're in any way connected with a corporation, it is an incredibly informative read.

It should help close the gap between the two vocations and hopefully reduce the stigmas/stereotypes/condescension(from businesses concerning the importance of art and the role design plays in how well a company does)

I found it really interesting. In fact, the whole site is quite interesting (aiga.org)♥

check it out! :)

stuff

Somebody on DA put up this link: http://www.posemaniacs.com/blog/
30 second drawing (you can do different amounts of time and other things as well). It's an interesting activity in anatomy study. I got addicted XD

It's supposed to be training your eyes and hands or some mumbo jumbo. I think it probably helps. Obviously it's not going to be making any immediate drastic changes (as with everything in art)
I didn't bother scanning the sketches, but they're not detailed or anything (you only have 30 seconds to draw!!) Some poses are more difficult than others, but it's a fun little activity anyway.

Um.. other stuff: I've changed the layout for my section of the website I have going with my friends: http://www.freewebs.com/bahanimation/pyropanda.html

I added new pictures there too. I'm not going to bother posting all of them here too 'cause I don't feel like bothering to upload (so lazy >_< ;; maybe later)

I've still got a bit of an art block, but I'm drawing through it like I always do. Instead of not being able to draw and having ideas, I feel like I can draw stuff, but the ideas have all just left me @_@; hmm. Dunno which is worse.. probably the former (more frustrating) There's always something to draw. You could redo an old picture or do a cliché subject (like zodiac something for example)

ANYWAY! TO THE ART!

Painting the murals on Starbucks

Nikki — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 01:19:57 +0000

My ART 220 class painted two murals for the new Starbucks (Oakes Field)
I only have pictures of the first one.

*click to full view as usual*

Apparently this is the FIRST time something like this has been done at ANY Starbucks location! Usually they buy 'ready-made'/wholesale pictures.
We're in the papers and everything; pretty cool.

"I'm going to catch a star tonight"

first page in a school project: create a children's book.

I won't go into detail, but I have the whole script planned out. I have a version in French, but the actually hard copy is actually in English.

I don't really have much to say right now...well, I don't feel like saying much.. a little lazy >_>;

But it's done in marker and pencil. I don't want the sky to be flat black, the marker strokes are intentional (I have another marker I could have used to do slower strokes to make it a flat black). The stars here are done with white out. in the redo the stars aren't done using white out. In fact, in the redo I don't use white out at all (as I originally planned).

I think that's pretty much it. If you have any questions feel free to ask! I don't check this as often as I should so I might get back to you a little late (sorry!) but I DO get back to people! ^^"

Step by step

Nikki — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:35:47 +0000

How I work digitally pretty much. Lots of people use several layers for their digital work and I used to as well. I now use only about two (usually) one for the image/foreground and one for the background... I guess it makes it feel more fluid to me. Like it's all part of the same thing.. hmm.. Anyway, here's the step-by-step (:

I used openCanvas4 (as usual)
