<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">By Liz Thiers</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ROUND ROBIN 3 represented a departure from ROUND ROBIN and ROUND ROBIN 2 since Dani, Jenn, and Katy were no longer working with stand-alone words, but sentences. The trick was to create a narrative out of fifteen sentences composed by three alternating authors. When I came into the process, Dani, Katy, and Jenn had created several different story lines. Each story line started with one artist writing a sentence out of the blue, then all three took turns adding sentences, wildly exploring the possibilities of the new world... The results were visually stimulating but not always compact nor consistent: most of the story lines didn't feature a strong arc or ending.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IB8i2S9OceM/T7qZzehVc7I/AAAAAAAADzo/lqlW28VDOOY/s1600/photo-4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IB8i2S9OceM/T7qZzehVc7I/AAAAAAAADzo/lqlW28VDOOY/s400/photo-4.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first step was to decide which story to purse... The thread about sheep walking tightropes was too exciting to pass up! However this thread was not completed yet: I watched as Dani, Jenn, and Katy sat around Katy's kitchen table and finished the game. Katy tried to guess where Dani was headed based on her sentence, but ultimately added her own sentence that contributed something unique and exciting to the story. Jenn repeated the process, trying to guess Katy's intentions. We ended up with three very different sheep, each of the artists weaving one of their tales after the sisters fell off their tightrope.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5KMVuKk8__Y/T7qZ4WSuMCI/AAAAAAAADzw/lZ0xvT4G7eU/s1600/RR3Writing1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5KMVuKk8__Y/T7qZ4WSuMCI/AAAAAAAADzw/lZ0xvT4G7eU/s400/RR3Writing1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though Dani brought Fuzzy to life on paper, she ended up illustrating Woolala's adventures. As in ROUND ROBIN books 1 and 2, the artist was not allowed to work with words she contributed. I thought the matchmaking was prophetic, since I saw much of the artist manifested in her assigned sheep. I also think the story parallels the Robins' journey in delightful ways. I'd never
call Dani, Jenn, and Katy "snooty" or "tall" (well OK, maybe Dani), but
they were certainly forced outside their comfort zone by this project, just like Fuzzy, Flounce, and Woolala.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3aMXrm4PcY/T7nHTUNBMTI/AAAAAAAAAWI/TCYMNnx4alk/s1600/RR3.Thumbnails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3aMXrm4PcY/T7nHTUNBMTI/AAAAAAAAAWI/TCYMNnx4alk/s400/RR3.Thumbnails.jpg" width="367" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But how to tie all three sheep's stories together again? Of fifteen sentences, the first four were dedicated to setting the scene, describing the characters, and imparting the "inciting incident." The next nine sentences detailed the fate of each sheep separately, creating three alternating character arcs. Now that the sheep sisters were no longer dependent on each other, how could I resolve their separate stories in just 2 sentences? They needed to collectively reject their old way of life in favor of their new one, and they needed to do so quickly...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spent a few weeks drafting various versions of the last two lines. I would only spend a half hour with the story at a time, tweaking the last two lines till I had several versions to show Dani, Jenn, and Katy. They chose the variation they liked best and it was off to the races!</div>

The three sheep are separated as the story progresses and each artist was tasked with illustrating a sheep's particular storyline.<br /><br />For Round Robin 3 I had to illustrate Flounce's story line. First I had to come up with a unique look for Flounce. I imagined her to have an athletic and stocky build, but also be quick and agile on her feet.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzJFkVTSGj8/T40cZCtN81I/AAAAAAAAAQE/lSNGZil4H7E/s1600/rr3sketch1A.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dzJFkVTSGj8/T40cZCtN81I/AAAAAAAAAQE/lSNGZil4H7E/s320/rr3sketch1A.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732269117261345618" border="0" /></a><br />In the middle of the story, Flounce crashes through a warehouse ceiling into a wrestling ring. For Round Robin 3 I wanted to try a more graphic approach to the paintings. Instead of just illustrating Flounce landing in a wrestling ring, I chose to really emphasize Flounce's crash landing and tried to simplify the image to show just that with these simple thumbnails:<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q35tHDVasyA/T40cnO8swvI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/3-dEP_zez3w/s1600/rr3sketchthumb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 115px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q35tHDVasyA/T40cnO8swvI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/3-dEP_zez3w/s320/rr3sketchthumb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732269361065673458" border="0" /></a><br />Although the thumbnails are simple, I still wanted the illustration to be fun and full of energy. I experimented with colored tissue paper and found I could create a really colorful and interesting texture to paint on.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mG4zcwAi-Ks/T40hTCX5WkI/AAAAAAAAARk/Yf6v2mMom0s/s1600/color.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mG4zcwAi-Ks/T40hTCX5WkI/AAAAAAAAARk/Yf6v2mMom0s/s200/color.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732274511650839106" border="0" /></a><br />After laying down the base of color tissue paper and sealing it with matte medium, I painted large, simple shapes on top with gouache. I also added some gold and silver paper on top because it felt like confetti, or pieces of glass from Flounce's fall.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5NmnqJxSEUI/T40g5OVV98I/AAAAAAAAARY/rHmXkTN3zBw/s1600/base.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 455px; height: 340px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5NmnqJxSEUI/T40g5OVV98I/AAAAAAAAARY/rHmXkTN3zBw/s400/base.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732274068184758210" border="0" /></a><br />Now that the base is set, I put Flounce into the painting. To help her stand out, her wooly fur is made of cotton rag paper.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6synhURgW9k/T40ezH5bKgI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/jOcdX1KEUQg/s1600/flouncesplat.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6synhURgW9k/T40ezH5bKgI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/jOcdX1KEUQg/s320/flouncesplat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732271764354574850" border="0" /></a><br />The end result is a graphic and abstract representation of a sheep colliding with a festive wrestling ring:<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oGOdC5YeVTE/T40gm_2ehrI/AAAAAAAAARM/aMhb9zMrQR0/s1600/RR3_Page013_TEST3forKaty.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 455px; height: 378px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oGOdC5YeVTE/T40gm_2ehrI/AAAAAAAAARM/aMhb9zMrQR0/s400/RR3_Page013_TEST3forKaty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732273755059553970" border="0" /></a><br />Check in next week, we have an announcement to make about our upcoming show in San Francisco!ROUND ROBINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112698702396938433noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190278996998252854.post-72286094788150829232012-04-09T12:00:00.028-07:002012-04-12T18:00:39.496-07:00Once upon a time...... not that long ago, we decided to make ROUND ROBIN 3! And instead of playing the round-robin-style word game of the previous 2 books, we took turns in composing an entire round-robin-style story, a process that deserves (and shall get) an entire post of its own later.<br /><br />Right now I'd like to show you the first painting in the new book!<br />It's always a daunting task to have to BEGIN a new project, but even more daunting is knowing that the illustration you're beginning will be on page 1! When finished, it will have to set the tone of the book, introduce the characters, the setting, and get people excited to turn the page. No small task. But if I had to think about all that every time I started a new piece of art I would never get anything done.<br />Instead I focused on what I wanted to learn from the third book, and what I was excited to experiment with. Here is the final illustration:<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZyVVANCwLFk/T4XiH64JLsI/AAAAAAAAAOA/BdQP3quBS7A/s1600/DS_RR3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZyVVANCwLFk/T4XiH64JLsI/AAAAAAAAAOA/BdQP3quBS7A/s400/DS_RR3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730234726590525122" border="0" /></a><br />The first difference in the art approach was that the narrative format asked for a lot more visual continuity between paintings. It was the closest that we've come to traditional book illustration, or because we're filmmakers, to color script.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-doAuX8Qz2Ok/T4Xh-l9wsrI/AAAAAAAAAN0/Ssn0AgS-3CI/s1600/DS_RR3_StorySketches.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-doAuX8Qz2Ok/T4Xh-l9wsrI/AAAAAAAAAN0/Ssn0AgS-3CI/s400/DS_RR3_StorySketches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730234566358119090" border="0" /></a><br />The second consideration was whether we would all draw the main characters similarly, or each have our own take. The whole idea of ROUND ROBIN is that there is freedom of interpretation between artists, so we opted for the latter. That being said, each artist figured out her personal design rules in her own sketches.<br />In my case I took inspiration from the protagonists's names: 3 tall snooty sheep named Fuzzy, Flounce and Woolala. I decided that Fuzzy would be sweet, nervous, and a little shy, and that her fur would be pretty thick and unkempt. Flounce would be confident, active and agile. She probably keeps her fur neatly groomed, always looking lean. Woolala is the capable and crafty fashionista who sometimes curls her fur and wears belts that show off her small waist.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j9Gs5SEAIKA/T4XiPOAU7DI/AAAAAAAAAOM/H_NXljqtCaU/s1600/DS_RR3_Sheep.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j9Gs5SEAIKA/T4XiPOAU7DI/AAAAAAAAAOM/H_NXljqtCaU/s400/DS_RR3_Sheep.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730234851984206898" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KTUrPul4KWM/T4XiXsfg5UI/AAAAAAAAAOY/k0BLV1NzZNk/s1600/DS_RR3_Sheep002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KTUrPul4KWM/T4XiXsfg5UI/AAAAAAAAAOY/k0BLV1NzZNk/s400/DS_RR3_Sheep002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730234997607032130" border="0" /></a><br />As usual I had to look for some inspiration in reference, in this case for the sheep's 12th floor apartment. They live in a big metropolis (New York), presumably in a penthouse. They're pretty well off, so I already had ideas for the environment that I wanted them to inhabit. For some reason I thought it would be fun to introduce them through a giant painting of themselves (because if history has taught me anything is that all wealthy people commission giant portraits of themselves!). I also thought that they would have designed their apartment following some kind of Bauhaus esthetic, which is most obvious in the bookshelf color palette, and the abstract painting above the fireplace. I recently got a great book on Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Josef Albers. Here are some of their works that I referenced and paid homage to:<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATrO3wDmE6Q/T4d6P5_ptNI/AAAAAAAAAP4/zt_-6c-T8e0/s1600/Bauhaus.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATrO3wDmE6Q/T4d6P5_ptNI/AAAAAAAAAP4/zt_-6c-T8e0/s400/Bauhaus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730683464536667346" border="0" /></a><br />In terms of technique I wanted to keep up what I had really enjoyed doing in ROUND ROBIN 2, acrylic on wood panel, with a lot of collage. I had the perfect opportunity to use textured hand-made papers for the sheep's fur. Once again I used bright origami papers, in this case for the main accessory each sheep was using. I art directed the characters to have a signature color which went well with the personalities I ascribed to them. Fuzzy loves pastries and carries a yellow tray full of them, Flounce is reading the Sports section of the paper, with a bright red headline. Woolala's color is green, mostly because I liked the idea of the green hat and belt.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-psI-ikuBkwU/T4Xk4LSujUI/AAAAAAAAAOw/RO4zFHAEec0/s1600/DS_RR3_Fuzzy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-psI-ikuBkwU/T4Xk4LSujUI/AAAAAAAAAOw/RO4zFHAEec0/s400/DS_RR3_Fuzzy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730237754653969730" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wgjX0d_D0ak/T4Xk-C7v3MI/AAAAAAAAAO8/wDUXTYunQt4/s1600/DS_RR3_Floounce.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 251px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wgjX0d_D0ak/T4Xk-C7v3MI/AAAAAAAAAO8/wDUXTYunQt4/s400/DS_RR3_Floounce.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730237855489318082" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1LImzEC_pN0/T4XlCvhUKTI/AAAAAAAAAPI/jFM5pDx7nH8/s1600/DS_RR3_Woolala.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1LImzEC_pN0/T4XlCvhUKTI/AAAAAAAAAPI/jFM5pDx7nH8/s400/DS_RR3_Woolala.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730237936177522994" border="0" /></a><br />And there you have it.

ROUND ROBIN 3 is based it on the same add-on word game, with a twist: instead of each artist adding a word to form a chain, each artist added a sentence to form a story.<br /><br />As we were finishing the paintings for the second book we all felt that we wanted to try something different for the final collaboration, so we referenced classic fairy tale structures and improv games where the actors build upon each other's suggestions to create scenes.<br />This collaborative writing exercise proved much more difficult than we anticipated, because it was easy to lose track of where the story was going. We eventually had to follow a specific structure and we brought in our friend Liz Thiers to help edit the final draft and stylistically unify our three voices.<br />Once the writing process was finished, each one of us illustrated a sentence written by someone else, just like we did for the first two books.<br /><div><br />Below you will find some early sketches that we did while still searching for ways to represent the 3 main characters of the story, three snooty tall sheep who live in a 12th floor apartment! Right off the bat each one of us was drawing the sheep differently, a diversity of style that we embraced and tried to maintain in the paintings as well, to keep the approach true to the collaborative and reactive nature of the project.<br /><br />In the following weeks we'll share more art, process, and some extra special surprises, so please stay tuned.<br />We're very happy with how ROUND ROBIN 3 turned out, and we can't for you to read it in May!<br /><div><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LHf3WXw0DBo/T3n17GhKOlI/AAAAAAAAANA/YaqRFlx5jh8/s1600/DS1.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726878796889078354" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LHf3WXw0DBo/T3n17GhKOlI/AAAAAAAAANA/YaqRFlx5jh8/s400/DS1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 256px;" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SfL5JLySqyM/T3n1Y58Eg5I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Gp9wEFOomI4/s1600/KW1.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726878209396736914" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SfL5JLySqyM/T3n1Y58Eg5I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Gp9wEFOomI4/s400/KW1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1J4kc43FW9k/T3n1haEv2vI/AAAAAAAAAMc/aIoRGQ2ZKBE/s1600/KW2.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726878355462019826" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1J4kc43FW9k/T3n1haEv2vI/AAAAAAAAAMc/aIoRGQ2ZKBE/s400/KW2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m7eRBfY8gXk/T3n1po5kI2I/AAAAAAAAAMo/wP9j82pjggQ/s1600/JC1.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726878496880599906" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m7eRBfY8gXk/T3n1po5kI2I/AAAAAAAAAMo/wP9j82pjggQ/s400/JC1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6TsdWITiMPE/T3n2WzdbUYI/AAAAAAAAANM/nmpjj_JdjE8/s1600/JC2.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726879272809484674" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6TsdWITiMPE/T3n2WzdbUYI/AAAAAAAAANM/nmpjj_JdjE8/s400/JC2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BLseqVqD-OI/T3n2fm6h9vI/AAAAAAAAANY/mELWeh_k-k4/s1600/KW3.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726879424060716786" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BLseqVqD-OI/T3n2fm6h9vI/AAAAAAAAANY/mELWeh_k-k4/s400/KW3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yPk5MGPReP4/T3n2nse1pCI/AAAAAAAAANk/4PYFJUs8NI0/s1600/DS2.jpg"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726879562994132002" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yPk5MGPReP4/T3n2nse1pCI/AAAAAAAAANk/4PYFJUs8NI0/s400/DS2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" border="0" /></a></div></div>ROUND ROBINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112698702396938433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190278996998252854.post-39555992036740707542012-03-20T09:19:00.024-07:002012-03-26T11:32:02.021-07:00RR3 and ARLUDIK<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:inherit;">Today we have two big announcements...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:inherit;">We are very happy to report that we have just completed the final book in our series, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#cc0000;">ROUND ROBIN 3 </span>!

I had to get those plain associations out of my system right away. Humming birds, spiders, bees, and the like were the first things in my mind and the first crossed off the list. Then came the thought of engines and roads. I thought of a road map, then a subway map. A train station perhaps. Train engines and train tracks. And then I remembered a model train set I had as a kid where you built your own rail tracks. There it was, the inception of the idea.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VSiHQd4DCLY/T2aaAYmv61I/AAAAAAAAAI4/u_W_Z8odpXk/s1600/TrainsSketch.tif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 356px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VSiHQd4DCLY/T2aaAYmv61I/AAAAAAAAAI4/u_W_Z8odpXk/s400/TrainsSketch.tif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721429708016446290" border="0" /></a><br />On to the planning: research (because I'm a firm believer in it) and color roughs. I knew I wanted a vibrant, graphic look. But I had no idea how to organize it yet. I looked at a lot of model trains.<br />Research is one of my favorite parts of any project, because it not only serves to inform me on the topic at hand, but it also informs my artistic decisions.<br />I usually begin by searching for the obvious references but I always end up being surprised along the way. Invariably some unexpected piece of information will present itself to me, and my job is to recognize its potential and be open to embrace it.<br />In this case, I didn't know how to compose the painting. I knew I wanted a flat perspective-less look, but I still couldn't help myself but to draw angles and receding shapes. Just a habit, muscle memory. Annoying in this case.<br />Until, while searching for model trains, I noticed that their box sets and the majority of the display cases organized the cars in long horizontal rows, one above the other. It was exactly what I was looking for! No perspective, no recession with distance, just flat rows of train cars stacked on top of each other.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pH_-mFcrzw8/T2aaKU1AeLI/AAAAAAAAAJE/rDRlYJJUW2U/s1600/TrainCars.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pH_-mFcrzw8/T2aaKU1AeLI/AAAAAAAAAJE/rDRlYJJUW2U/s400/TrainCars.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721429878801201330" border="0" /></a><br />So now I had an idea of the composition. But I was still nowhere near having designed anything. I looked at more reference of specific train car styles and picked those I liked. I wanted a wide variety: engines, high speed passenger cars, freight cars, commuter cars, etc.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dx3X0D4q8Ok/T2aaWanZEEI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/pZreFXDw68Y/s1600/Trains_Blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 352px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dx3X0D4q8Ok/T2aaWanZEEI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/pZreFXDw68Y/s400/Trains_Blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721430086513135682" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Next were color roughs and the final painting! I wanted to keep the palette vibrant, pure, almost primary. These stacked train cars were almost like a toy collection, where you want to have one of each color. So I wanted to stay close to that idea. This pure palette seemed to lend itself well to collage, so I got some origami papers which ended up driving the overall color scheme too.<br />And there you have it, HUMMING + WEB!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nTNK2OoH8ac/T2abjmKKoBI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2i0VBv-Rjqc/s1600/IMG_3120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nTNK2OoH8ac/T2abjmKKoBI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2i0VBv-Rjqc/s400/IMG_3120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721431412461707282" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DEQbaNlYMwQ/T2abu75XPoI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/JU-KVfTjIgk/s1600/IMG_3123.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DEQbaNlYMwQ/T2abu75XPoI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/JU-KVfTjIgk/s400/IMG_3123.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721431607275372162" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QKBDLZqbTik/T2ab7WZpAbI/AAAAAAAAAKA/6AoyDpcQ2Jw/s1600/IMG_3130.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QKBDLZqbTik/T2ab7WZpAbI/AAAAAAAAAKA/6AoyDpcQ2Jw/s400/IMG_3130.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721431820548506034" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xR4fR_Bpc9Q/T2adjvV433I/AAAAAAAAAKM/ZL9rXzvo9w0/s1600/IMG_3168.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xR4fR_Bpc9Q/T2adjvV433I/AAAAAAAAAKM/ZL9rXzvo9w0/s400/IMG_3168.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721433613950050162" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GKFKweqn3jI/T2adx5bzC3I/AAAAAAAAAKY/LW_Odinyl5o/s1600/IMG_3212.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GKFKweqn3jI/T2adx5bzC3I/AAAAAAAAAKY/LW_Odinyl5o/s400/IMG_3212.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721433857177357170" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KykKzd1tlsg/T2aeB3lFi_I/AAAAAAAAAKk/LeVx3RGcQ7Q/s1600/IMG_3210.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KykKzd1tlsg/T2aeB3lFi_I/AAAAAAAAAKk/LeVx3RGcQ7Q/s400/IMG_3210.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721434131557354482" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MiMG_nUAjb4/T2afH7wrbdI/AAAAAAAAAK8/OeWirtZMbaw/s1600/IMG_3216.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MiMG_nUAjb4/T2afH7wrbdI/AAAAAAAAAK8/OeWirtZMbaw/s400/IMG_3216.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721435335270559186" border="0" /></a>ROUND ROBINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112698702396938433noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190278996998252854.post-59148948871704717642012-03-15T21:45:00.013-07:002012-03-18T18:44:41.230-07:00Artist Help Japan<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:arial;" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;">At 1 year anniversary of the devastating disaster in Japan, <a href="http://www.simplestroke.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;">Dice Tsutsumi</span></a> along with<a href="http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=artists_help_japan"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#ff0000;"> Artist Help Japan</span></a> once again are hosting a series of 4 on-line art charity auctions dedicating to help the cause.

"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For Round Robin 2 I decided to try my hand at a medium I hadn't used in a very long time: oil pastels. What attracted me to this medium were the bright vibrant colors, the creamy consistency, and they reminded me of crayons (I used Sennelier pastels). I'm somewhat familiar with soft pastels but oil pastels have fairly different properties. They do not blend/smudge easily, they are good for making broad strokes and large shapes, and they are not very forgiving. This meant I had to figure out which colors I needed and how to get the colors I didn't have in color studies before starting the actual painting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Here are some photos of scratch paper I experimented on for paintings from Round Robin 2:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div></span></span></span></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rLxYW_o5AeM/T0vPawHCNgI/AAAAAAAAAHg/HjshsdvSSMs/s400/NightPop2_Blog.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713888610747561474" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Since oil pastels don't take to smudging well, I had to overlay darker colors over lighter colors to see if I could get the results I wanted. You can only overlay so many colors (about 3) on top of each other before it gets muddy or the paper stops accepting anymore medium.</span></div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSyPjj9wC1A/T0vPa_808gI/AAAAAAAAAHw/MO-QZn-eurQ/s400/hummingpuddle2_Blog.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713888614999716354" /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Once I find a combination of colors that works, I would write the names of the colors down so I could remember them later.

I remembered some experimental paper birds I made a few years back for another personal project. Each bird was cut out from one small piece of white paper and minimally glued together. The pale paper birds had a little emotionless or unknown eerie quality to them...

We'd like to thank everyone who made it, and those who made it happen: <span style="color: red;">Giselle</span> from <a href="http://www.raredevice.net/">Rare Device</a>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_870460955">Asaki</a></span><a href="http://asakioda.com/Site/home.html"> </a>who made us a gorgeous window display, our friend <span style="color: red;">Liz</span> who helped pull this off in such a short amount of time, and <span style="color: red;">James</span> for expertly driving nails.<br />
We had a great time sharing Round Robin with you and we hope to see you again soon!<br />
<br />
Almost all paintings are gone, so hurry over before Nov. 8th to see the show and maybe pick up a book or some art for your walls!<br />

Each artist takes a turn in providing a word inspired by the one previously supplied, until 15 two-word combinations are completed (ex. A+B, B+C, C+A). Each artist uses only words written by her counterparts as inspiration for her illustration. With each painting, the artist is challenged to create artwork on subjects outside her comfort zone. At the same time, the artist can bring the power of interpretation and imagination to bear on the topic. Thus, each illustration in the book is connected to the previous and subsequent pages in a literal sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />
