Thank God most of Hell’s Kitchen was shaded or else I would never have made it. For such a warm day, it was not as humid as I thought it would be or else I just did not notice. I knew by the end of the day I was exhausted. I did walk over a hundred city blocks. I started my morning at the Museum of Modern Art at 11 West 53rd Street for a private members morning reviewing the new “Cezanne Drawings ” exhibition. It was interesting to see how progressed his works from sketchbook to the final painting. What I liked about the exhibition is how the curators mounted it. Each of the set of drawings lead up to the finished work so you got to see the different perspectives that the artist was trying to achieve with each of his paintings. Cezanne Drawing The Cezanne Drawing Exhibition at the MoMA at 11 West 53rd Street What I like best about being a member of the Museum of Modern Art is that it gives you time to see all these interesting exhibitions with a limited crowd. When you are with other members, you can tell that they really want to be there and have the same open-minded approach to the works whether they like them or not. Some of the sketches I could see where the artist, Paul Cezanne, was trying to go with the work and the changes he made along the way to the finished painting. You could see the movements and detail in each page and how he adjusted it. It was nice to be in the mind of an artist who died over a hundred years ago. Cezanne Drawing Exhibition One of the unfinished sketches from the pages of the Cezanne’s sketch book Paul Cezz Artist Paul Cezanne https://www.paul-cezanne.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_C%C3%A9zanne Mr. Cezanne was a French Artist who influenced in Post-Impressionism who studied at the Free Municipal School of Drawing and the University of Aix studying Law and Drawing. After I toured the exhibition, I visited a few others that were going to close soon. I walked through the “Embodied Sensations” exhibition and admired the modern graphics along the walls and floor. Then I just wondered around the museum cooling off. I started my walk of the border of Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton at the corner of West 59th and Ninth Avenue at Amore Pizza Cafe at 370 West 58th Street. Even though I had a large breakfast, I was starved by the time I got here (see review on TripAdvisor and DiningonaShoeStringinNYC@Wordpress.com). Because it was the weekend and most of the calzones and pizza rolls are made ahead of time, the choices were limited. I was surprised they would not make one fresh. Amore Pizza Cafe at night at 370 West 58th Street at Ninth Avenue I settled on a Pepperoni Roll ($5.95), which was an excellent choice. This version of a rolled personal pizza was studded with layers of spicy pepperoni and baked with a garlic butter topping and then served with a spicy tomato sauce. I have not had one of these in years and it was delicious (see my review on TripAdvisor and DiningonaShoeStringinNYC@Wordpress.com). Each bite into those layers of pepperoni had a salty/savory flavor and was the perfect lunch for a long day of walking. The Pepperoni rolls here are amazing! After lunch was over, I traveled down West 59th Street to the Hudson River. It had been months since I had walked in this part of the neighborhood. I visited here in September of 2018 to finish the Borders and Streets of the lower part of the Upper West Side. In that time, several buildings had been completed and new playgrounds had opened up. The Border of the Lower Part of the Upper West Side Day One Hundred and Twenty-One: https://wordpress.com/post/mywalkinmanhattan.com/7845 Since I was walking within the shade, the heat was not as bad as I thought it would be. Plus the breezes off the Hudson River were a pleasure. As I walked down West 59th Street, it was like visiting old friends. As I walked back down to West 59th Street, I crossed the street to a popular park. Near the local school is Gertrude Ederle Playground which sits next to the Gertrude Ederle Recreation Center. This park stretches from West 59th to West 60th Street and is a very popular park with the areas families offering many whimsical playground jungle gyms and swings and a very nice field for soccer and baseball. It also offers a very nice public bathroom that is nice to have when walking around the area. Gertrude Ederle was a champion Olympic and distance swimmer, who was a member of the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. She set over twenty world records in swimming in the early 1920’s and won a gold medal for the 400 meter freestyle relay. She swam the 22 mile harbor swim from Battery Park to Sandy Hook, NJ in a record that stood for 81 years. She also set the record for crossing the English Channel as the first American woman and received a ticker tape parade when she returned. She also appeared as herself in the 1927 romantic comedy ‘Swim, Girl Swim’. She continued to swim by teaching deaf children to swim (she had lost her hearing at this point) and lived to ripe age of 98 passing in 2003 (NYCParks.org). Gertrude Elerde Gertrude Ederle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Ederle Across the street from the park is the former IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) Powerhouse at 840 12th Avenue. This ornate building was built in 1904 and takes up the entire area from West 59th to West 58th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues. Designed by architect Stamford White, the building is used by Con Ed of New York to supply the New York Steam system. It is designed in the ‘Renaissance Revival’ and really walk around the building you can see the beautiful details of the building especially around the building . It was recently declared a Landmark Building in New York (Wiki). IRT Powerhouse II IRT Powerhouse at 840 12th Avenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRT_Powerhouse Walking across the street, I was greeted by the beauty and elegance of the new complex, One Waterline Square, which was behind fencing the last time I visited the neighborhood. The finished complex was simmering in the sunlight and in the middle of the complex is the energetic Waterline Square Park. One Waterline Place One Waterline Square https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_Square https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/riverside-dr-west-end-ave/one-waterline-square-10-riverside-boulevard/58492 The tiers of the park were very interesting as stairways lead to different levels of the park with fountains and trees and water features that shot up every few minutes with loads of kids and their parents screaming at each plug of water. This is when it is fun to be a kid. The park was designed by the New York architect group, Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects. This creative women-owned firm who uses a cumulative and holistic image for each project using designs that are insightful and artful as well as performative (MNLA Mission Statement) One Waterline Square Park One Waterline Square Park https://www.mnlandscape.com/ https://www.mnlandscape.com/projects/waterline_square Waterline Square Park is one of the most unusual parks that I have seen in the City since walking Battery Park City. The park has almost a Dr. Seuss effect to it with its interesting plantings, bridges and water features in all directions. It also has plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the cool breezes. All this packed in between three elegant buildings. It was fun just watching everyone have a good time. I sat in the park for a while just trying to cool off myself as the weather got warmer that day. It was nice to sit under a tree and relax. I could believe how this whole area of the City had transformed itself from just a couple of months ago. From behind the fencing came this magical city of glass and green space. I walked down to the extension of Riverside Park and walked the paths along the Hudson River. I had not been here since I did the Great Santier Walk. I love the cool breezes and views of the river from the park. The City did a good job on this extension of the park giving the West Side of the island the green space it needed. Both from the street and from the paths, you get beautiful views of the cliffs on the New Jersey side of the river but still engage it via the various piers that you can walk on that jut out into the river. When you reach West 59th Street, Pier 96 and the Hudson River Pier and the boat basin giver great views of the Hudson River. I walked around the park and saw an unusual sculpture in the shape of a bottle. The public art piece ‘Private Passage’ by artist Malcolm Cochran is a unique sculpture in that what appears to be a ship in a bottle is actually a replica of a stateroom in the Queen Mary all done in metals. At night and in bad weather I read that the piece is illuminated. Private Passage.jpg ‘Private Passage’ by Malcolm Cochran Malcolm Cochran is an American artist and former Art Professor at Ohio State University. A graduate of Wesleyan College, Mr. Cochran has had many solo and group shows since the 70’s and has created numerous works all over the world. ‘Private Passage’ was created for Hudson River Park in 2005 and is an engaging piece of art where the visitors have to look inside the port holes to see the art inside the bottle. It is very clever. Malcolm Cochran artist Malcolm Cochran artist Turning back to Twelve Avenue, I stopped to stare at another new favorite building of mine, Via 57th on the corner of West 57th and Twelfth Avenue. This glimmering pyramid of glass stands out amongst the box structures in the neighborhood with it triangular shape and reflections of the sun and the river. It brings an elegance to the newly planted park and changes the makeup of the buildings by the river giving it futuristic look to the Hudson River. Via 57 Via 57th along the new Hudson River Park at 625 West 57th Street (Via 57) The Via 57 The Via https://www.via57west.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_57_West This residential building is in the shape of a pyramid or “tetrahedron” looking ‘almost like a sailing vessel going across the river’. The tiered gardens and slopped space integrates with the surrounding park and river. The building was designed by Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group and by its founding architect Bjarke Ingels (Wiki). I walked past the back of Dewitt Clinton Park at West 54th Street to West 52nd Streets where the whole back of the park was under reconstruction. I made my way down the greenway past all the piers where there were people sunning themselves on the grassy lawns. There was not a lot of people gathered around Pier 86 where the Intrepid Museum was located. I was not sure if it was open yet or not. Pier 83 where the Circle Line rode off from also looked quiet. In a normal year, these Piers were really busy. The Intrepid Museum at Pier 86 is just reopening http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/ Circle Line The Circle Line at Pier 83 just reopened as well https://www.circleline.com/?locale=en Because tourism was just coming back to the City since the reopening of most activities, there were no lines or crowds of people around and the few people walking around we walking up to gates to ask what the status was of the activity. It was very different when I took the Circle Line for my birthday present to myself and saw the island of Manhattan from the water. It is just as beautiful and interesting from the water as it is from the land. Day One Hundred and Forty Seven-Touring the Circle Line on my Birthday 2019: https://wordpress.com/post/mywalkinmanhattan.com/10649 I exited out of the park to West 42nd Street and Twelfth Avenue and the foot traffic was light. There were those few people milling around the neighborhood that lived there but with the lack of tourism this part of Manhattan is quiet during the day. I had not walked down this part of West 42nd Street in a long time and had not noticed the changes that have had happened over the years. I had missed River Place at 650 West 42nd Street and Silver Towers at 620 West 42nd Street when I last walked around this part of the neighborhood. These large apartment complexes do break up the once warehouses and office buildings that dominated the area. What stood out to me was right smack in the middle of these two complexes and that was Tom Otterness Playground at 630 West 42nd Street. This space of green reminded me of the creativity in playground design that I had seen earlier in Waterline Square Park. Combining small space with creative design to produce a whimsical park for families. It was such a nicely landscaped park and a relief from the heat. I loved the beautiful and artsy playground which is a testament to Tom Otterness’s approach to playground design. Tom Otterness Playground jungle gym structure is whimsical Artist Tom Otterness http://www.tomotterness.net/ Tom Otterness is an American artist who studied at the Art Student League in New York. His work is known as ‘whimsical and fun’ but also sends a message and tells a story. The Silver Towers is a twin residential set of towers that stand tall in the neighborhood and set the tone for the new residential section of this side of the West Side. Their brilliance in design and reception of sun light is interesting. The buildings were designed by architect Costas Kondylis and were finished in 2009. Silver Towers at 620 West 42nd Street https://silvertowers.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Towers Just a little further and across the street is the sculpture of an unusual polka dot pumpkin in the front of the Sky Building at 605 West 42nd Street by artist Yayoi Kusama. The sculpture sits in front of this elegant glass residential tower in the ever changing neighborhood by the Hudson River. The Sky is a mixed use luxury residential building that was designed by architectural firm Goldstein, Hill & West and was completed in 2016 (Wiki/Moinian Group). Sky Building The Sky at 605 West 42nd Street https://www.moinian.com/sky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_(skyscraper) The Sky Building The polka dot pumpkin in front of The Sky building is by artist Yayoi Kusama is fun and interesting Yayoi Kusama artist Artist Yayoi Kusama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yayoi_Kusama http://yayoi-kusama.jp/e/information/ Artist Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese born artist who studied at the Kyoto School of Arts & Crafts and is known for her installments and sculptures but also works in film, performance art and fashion among other mediums and is known for influence in ‘Pop Art’ (Wiki/Artist Bio). As I walked back up Tenth Avenue (the border of this side of Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton), I could see that in the time since my last visit to the neighborhood that more restaurants have reopened and there was more life outside. As the weather has gotten warmer, more outdoor cafes have opened up bringing life to the quiet streets. I reached the border of the neighborhood by the late afternoon. On the way back up, I stopped at Seguidilla Empanadas at 465 West 51st Street for a snack twice first for a Chicken Empanada ($2.99) and the second time for Country Club soda, a specialty Dominican soda ($1.95). The empanadas here are really good and served with a nice spicy sauce that brings out the flavor of the chicken. The owners kept looking up at me with stares and I kept wondering what they were thinking especially when I came back for the soda. Seguidilla Empanadas at 465 West 51st Street is a nice cafe Turning the corner on West 59th Street at Tenth Avenue, you will face the beauty of the John Jay College of Criminology Haaren Building at 899 Tenth Avenue. The building is home to many classrooms and the library for the college. The building was designed by Charles B.J. Snyder and was completed in 1903 (Wiki and John Jay College). The building was originally the Dewitt Clinton High School. John Jay College John Jay College Haaren Building at 899 Tenth Avenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay_College_of_Criminal_Justice Since it was still early in the afternoon when I finished the borders of the neighborhood, I decided to explore the length of Eleventh Avenue from West 59th to West 42nd Street. I was floored by how many auto showrooms are located on this stretch of the avenue from all different manufacturers. Still here and there are traces of the old neighborhood before all the rebuilding and a few new standouts that add to the Eleventh Avenue fabric. As I headed south down the avenue, I came across the Juan Alonso Community Gardens on the corner of Eleventh Avenue and West 51st Street. Juan Alonso Community Gardens Juan Alonso Community Gardens on the corner of West 51st Street and Eleventh Avenue https://www.clintonhousing.org/what-we-do/cultivate-hk.php The Community Garden was named after a local resident and community activist , Juan Alonso, who tired of seeing an empty lot and drug dealers in the area. The vacant lot is now a network of small gardens throughout the neighborhood run by the Clinton Housing Development Company (CHDC). The garden is attached to an old tenement housing 565 West 51st Street with the interesting carving “St. Mary’s 1887” on the top. This is now affordable housing. 565 West 51st Street 565 West 51st Street Another hold out of the neighborhood is the Landmark Tavern at 626 Eleventh Avenue. It was opened by Patrick Henry Carly in 1868 and has been a staple since. It is one of the oldest continuing restaurants in New York City (Landmark Tavern History). What is so fascinating about the bar is that at one time it stood on the water’s edge of the Hudson River. It shows how Manhattan has reclaimed land around the island. The restaurant has an interesting bar menu. Landmark Tavern The Landmark Tavern at 626 Eleventh Avenue https://www.thelandmarktavern.com/ When walking back up Eleventh Avenue passing more auto dealerships and showrooms, I came across the Gotham West Market at 600 Eleventh Avenue, a series a small independent restaurants catering to the crowd of residents living in the building and the surrounding neighborhood. The first time I ventured in only three restaurants were open now about half are open but still you can see by the empty or closed spaces that the City still has a ways to go. Gotham Market West Gotham West Market at 600 Eleventh Avenue https://www.facebook.com/GothamWestMarket/ I finished my touring of the neighborhood at Dewitt Clinton Park, which runs along Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues between West 52nd to West 54th Streets and is the biggest patch of green on this part of the neighborhood. Dewitt Clinton Park Dewitt Clinton Park at the Eleventh Avenue and West 52nd Street entrance The park is a haven for joggers and sports enthusiasts and the Erie Canal Playground is really big with the kids. When I was walking around that afternoon I could not believe the language these kids were spewing at each other. These kids must have been between eight and ten years old and they sounded like truck drivers. As I walked around the park, I saw from when I was walking around Twelfth Avenue that the back part of the park is being reconstructed and renovated with what looks like new lighting , sidewalks and stairs to be followed by new landscaping. One great attribute is that there are open clean bathrooms later in the evening. The front part of the park is very welcoming with flower beds, nice signage, comfortable benches to relax under the trees and nice paths. When you enter the park, you are greeted by the statue of a Doughboy from WWI. Dewitt Clinton Park statue The Doughboy State greets you at Dewitt Clinton Park (Clinton War Memorial) Burt W. Johnson Artist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Johnson The statue was designed by artist Burt W. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is an American born artist who studied under noted sculptors James Earle Fraser and Augustus Saint Gaudens. The artist died shortly after the statue had been modeled (NYCParks.org). He studied at Pomona College and the Art Students League of New York (Wiki). Dewitt Clinton Dewitt Clinton, Politician and Philanthropist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeWitt_Clinton The park was name after politician and philanthropist Dewitt Clinton from the prominent Dewitt and Clinton families. Mr. Clinton was the former Mayor of New York, Governor and Senator of New York State. He ran for President in 1812 losing to James Madison and was influential in the building the Erie Canal (Wiki). I just relaxed in the park for about 45 minutes watching the parents play with their kids and people walking their dogs. It was nice to see people up and about without masks on. The park had some cool breezes from the Hudson River and it was nice to sit under a tree and review my notes. All the large shade trees made it bearable. I walked back up Eleventh Avenue to West 59th Street early in the evening and tried to figure out where to go for dinner. I had not seen much in the neighborhood and the restaurants close by I was not in the mood for so I decided to go back to Amore Pizza Cafe. So I walked back to Ninth Avenue and ordered dinner and relaxed. I relaxed over dinner of Linguine with Meat Sauce and a half a loaf ($9.95) and a Coke. If there was ever a dinner I enjoyed more it was that. The meat sauce was incredible and had such a rich flavor (see my review on TripAdvisor and DiningonaShoeStringinNYC@Wordpress.com). It was so nice to just sit back and relax. I sat by the window and watched the City go by. It is amazing to watch people walk by and see the world going back to normal. The overload on carbs was helpful after a long walk. The Meat Sauce at Amore Pizza Cafe is excellent It is nice to walk around Manhattan and see the City I love so much returning to form to a ‘new normal’. It seems to me that “Hell’s Kitchen” is now just another name of a neighborhood and put its past behind it.

Check out our coverage of the official sets, and don’t miss all the gorgeous architectural models created by LEGO fans from around the world. Grab a bite or a drink at Cafe CoCo A new modular from Andrew Tate is always a treat as this master of minifig-scale architecture has a knack for builds that sweep you away to a specific time or place. His latest model, Cafe CoCo, captures the timeless and unhurried aesthetic of a European old town street corner that could just as easily be in Paris, Vienna, or Prague, fifty years ago or today. I can practically taste the Aperol spritz. The dark-stained wooden facade on the ground floor provides warmth and old-world charm against the tan stone building. Andrew packs the model with fun details and techniques, like the lamps held aloft on black hot dogs, or the pot snaking plants made from actual rattlesnakes. For the stone sidewalks, Andrew uses masonry bricks laid flat, a great technique that conveys the texture of paving stones without visual noise to distract from the scene above. Andrew “Snaillad” Tate says he builds at a snail’s pace, but over time he’s built an “>impressive body of LEGO creations that are always worth a revisit.

United24 launches five new custom LEGO models of Ukrainian landmarks to support reconstruction in Ukraine [News] Last November, the first wave of #LEGOwithUkraine custom sets raised 15,000,000 UAH (nearly USD $375,000) for reconstruction in Ukraine, helping to rebuild a country ravaged for more than two years now by Russia’s brutal and illegal invasion. The official United24 charity recently launched a new wave of five sets designed by LEGO builders from all over the world, titled #UKRAINEinLEGOBricks. The five models are based on landmarks all over Ukraine, from Lviv in the west, the capital Kyiv in central Ukraine, and Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Crimea in the south on the Black Sea. The first wave of custom kits was designed by LEGO builders exclusivley from Ukraine, while this next group proves how much support the Ukrainian people have from all of us around the world — the builders represent the US, Germany, Poland, and of course Ukraine itself. See all the custom LEGO models you can win by donating for Ukrainian reconstruction Micro Barad-Dûr menaces a tiny middle earth! If the price tag on the newly announced Lord of the Rings Barad-Dûr LEGO set is making your wallet feel like Viggo Mortensen’s toe, you should check out this micro-scale tower by Joe! From this mini monument to malevolent majesty, you can keep an eye on the hobbits with the DREAMZzz eye tile. With just a few pieces, Joe has captured the evil essence of the dark tower. The two outer towers are captured by a hilt and a plate with a bar, while all the spiky decorative business is made out of a few grills and a gear. I do wonder if Sauron will need a microscope to find the one ring at this scale! History is made in the abstract At LEGO street level, a tense scene plays out. Orders from the General. It’s time for Major Brickleton to finish up his puddings and bid adieu to the modernist comforts of Seawatch’s beloved Mondrie Inn. The colonel raises his gaze to look upon the half-timbered rooms, blocked in primary colors in the Dutch style. “War is all well and good in the abstract,” he thought, “but I’d rather stick to my puddings.” Evan Crouch is no stranger at progressive builds that fuse history and whimsy, but his latest scene might be his most modern(ist) creation yet from (neo)plastic bricks. I wonder what came first, the delightful play on the name of artist Piet Mondrian for the Mondrie Inn, or the visual pun of fusing half-timbered architecture with Mondrian’s trademark blocks of primary colors? Evan backs the whimsical concept with exceptional technique. The inn’s ground floor uses a mix of masonry bricks, round plates and SNOT bricks for a nice weathered effect, while dark grey ingots make for effective cobblestones. The color blocking for the upper stories is minimialist in approach, appropriate for the inspiration, with no windows and just a few round tiles to show wear. Evan rounds out the build with a custom sticker for the inn’s signboard and historical characters. Bridging the Gap Lego castle builds always seem to tell a story at just one glance, or perhaps it’s simply my overactive imagination. Lego builder Taylor has titled this one “Unexpected Visitors”, giving us a starting point to envision the scenario presented here. Is the visitor the king and his personal guard? Or do we see a herald on an important mission delivering a message? The bridge in this scene could tell a story on its own, but the inclusion of the minifigures deepens that narrative to another level. The façade of the bridge conveys both its age and strength while the rockwork and plants create the impression of the bridge connecting two mountains. What do you see? The start of a battle? The start of an alliance between factions? A Traveler’s Tribute to the Golden Temple Seeing the talent and imagination displayed in models from world-class builders can be a major inspiration for LEGO fans, but where do those builders find their spark? For Danish AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) Lasse Vestergård, two enduring sources of inspiration are travel and faith. Lasse’s latest creation is a stunning model of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the holiest site in Sikhism and an architectural marvel. The original building, the sacred pool surrounding it, and the holy texts within date back to the 16th century. Shifting empires and religious conflicts led to multiple waves of destruction and rebuilding, but the site’s significance and grandeur have endured, attracting both pilgrims and world travelers like Lasse. While he was inspired to recreate the temple after a visit in 2019, it took years before Lasse could find enough gold bricks to make that dream a reality. There looks to be nearly 200 golden bananas alone (I guess that qualifies it as a house of worSHIP). Lasse’s rendition isn’t just noteworthy in its scale, but for its ingenious detail while working within the constraints of white and gold elements. The white flower motif around the side entrances is especially effective. I also very much appreciate seeing so many turbans being used to celebrate a culture not often represented in LEGO. The Golden Temple is the second holy site from Lasse’s travels to be highlighted on this site, as we were also moved by his LEGO model of the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Lasse’s galleries feature many more temples and churches from the ancient and modern world and his native Denmark that are definitely worth a look. Two new iconic LEGO sets announced, based on a pair of well-known European wonders [News] LEGO has been inspired by the art in Paris, France with a duo of new LEGO Icons sets bound for release this year. From its home in the Louvre’s Salle des États, the Mona Lisa is by far the most well-known painting in the world, soon to be remade in brick and plate. LEGO Art 31213 Mona Lisa will be a little over 1:2 scale, coming in at 43 x 11.5 in (or 43 x 30 cm) and is comprised of 1,503 pieces. Moving over to the world of architecture, LEGO Architecture 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris is perhaps the best known cathedral in the world, its namesake standing tall since 1260. The LEGO version will still sit at an impressive 13 in tall (33 cm), with a removable roof and detailed interior. These popular Parisian LEGO productions will go on sale at the start of October and June, respectively. More details and pics of these new sets are below! Continue reading Creative adobe suites in LEGO The stacked adobe houses of Taos Pueblo are an architectural wonder whose living history goes back a thousand years. Brothers Brick alum Nannan Zhang takes inspiration from Taos for his breathtaking model The Enchanted Pueblo. While the pastel colors are much more vibrant the the walls of Taos Pueblo, they absoultely reflect the palette of a desert sunset and art of the region. The offset houses with their rounded roofs and exposed viga beams are unmistakeably pueblo, but serindipitously echo the architecture of LEGO House in Billund. There are so many lovely details with brilliant parts use, from the strings of dried chilis that hang by the doors, to the custom red soil base, to the incredible array of desert succulents (love that flowering yucca on the left!). If, like me, you’re wondering where those curvy pots that fit so well on the terraces come from, they’re sourced from old Scala flower pots. Nannan estimates the build took 60 hours over 2 months to achieve, but the results are truly timeless. A gilded chapel for repentant pirates The LEGO Pirates theme might not have the range of sets that we’ve seen in City, Space, and Castle, but for many AFOLs, the Pirates flame still burns as bright as Captain Redbeard’s chin whiskers. For several years now, builder Marcin Dski (Sleepless Night) has been expanding on an original series of dockside modular buildings that bring to life the Golden Age of Piracy in stunning detail, and their latest addition is this majestic chapel. The façade features some attractive use of gold elements for detail work, but my favorite section has to be the powder dome, ribbed with flex tubes and cupola. Sleepless Night’s modular pirate journey started with a re-imagining of their favorite classic set, Lagoon Lock-Up. From there, they added Captain Redbeard’s mansion and a custom house, and now this lovely chapel to tempt freebooters with its golden façade. Here at TBB we are excited to see what other historic additions Sleepless Nights adds to this bootyful tableau. Our princess is in this castle, Mario! We’ve seen some amazing LEGO microscale builds this month thanks to the Marchitecture contest. Matthias Bartsch jumps into the game with a delightful and instantly recognizable recreation of Peach’s Castle from Super Mario 64. A version of the castle appears in the official Super Mario 64 Question Block set, but Matthias’ take greatly expands on the homage with gorgeous landscaping, a larger interior and careful fidelity to the beloved in-game design. Mathias leverages the printed tiles from the official LEGO set but finds clever solutions of his own for details like the micro warp pipe, here represented with a technic pin, and poofy trees made from ice cream toppers. The roof lifts off to reveal the castle’s interior, with a tiled floor and tiny staircase. Architectural grandeur infused into a Great Ball Contraption Another impressive creation from TBB regular Andreas Lenander, this LEGO build of what appears to be an aqueduct offers more depth than its striking foliage and eye-catching architectural design might suggest at first glance. This build marks Andreas’ debut in the realm of Great Ball Contraptions, a term commonly abbreviated “GBC” in LEGO enthusiast circles. In this GBC module, the LEGO ball follows a pathway mimicking the flow of water from start to finish. Be sure to check out the video below of this GBC module in action, and explore some of the other LEGO Great Ball Contraption models that have been featured here on TBB. Check out the model in action as well.

VAT plus shipping / Orders from outside the EU are exempt from VAT 1Wallfacer 5:36 2Three-Room Problem 3:22 3Silencio 2:47 Vladislav Delay presents Hide Behind The Silence EP 1 - 5, a series of five 10" releases coming throughout 2023. Intuitive and raw music, momentary and reflective, released on Ripatti's own label "Rajaton". Stillness is a myth. Consider concepts such as ”still water”, or ”still air” for that matter. Go to a restaurant, ask them for a glass of still water, hold it against the light and see where we’re at. Even though the water itself has been captured and imprisoned in the glass, it never stops breathing. It’s filled with tiny particles, dancing. Everything can be explained on a molecular level, but since we’re not scientists – and even if you happen to be – it’s the natural world of perception that moves me. Still air is very similar. A hot summer’s day with zero wind feels completely still. It’s the closest I have felt to complete stillness. Or for a more urban adaptation, imagine the same vibe inside a normal apartment. In those moments, revelations and mind- blowing experiences can be had with experiments in stillness. Try this: Just sit down for a minute on a sunny day, making sure there’s enough natural light. Do absolutely nothing. Try not to breathe for a bit. (If you need a mental anchor, you can play Cage’s 4’33” in your head but nothing else.) Watch the tiny dots of dust dancing :..’ ̈.:; ́ ́*°.,’:,. ̈ ̈ ̈ ̈:,.’ The movement is crazy, but the feeling of stillness comes from witnessing how subtle it is. In (perceived) complete stillness, every act of microscopic mobility seems to speak volumes. Yet, it feels both reassuring and oddly threatening that the stillness is never complete. What if we would need absolute stillness? Or is it just enough that we can perceive something as such? Extremes attract, so for both water and air, extraordinary movement is equally fascinating. That is also a luxury item of sorts. For us to enjoy a very ”loud” body of water or air, we need to be safe, in enough control of the situation. So when you are, it’s worthwhile to pay attention and take it all in. A rapid flowing free with extreme strength and just barely in control. Look at that water go! No still water on this one, only ”sparkling”. A windy day when birds seem surprised how hard it is to fly, but in the end they make it. Trees bend but don’t break. The wind shows you its movement but doesn’t hurt you. It feels friendly, like a big clumsy dog that doesn’t quite understand its size. It’s beautiful to be a guest of the elements, but not at the mercy of them. A new kind of dialogue forms. Q&A with Sasu Ripatti: 1) Tell us something about the EP series ”Hide Behind the Silence”, what’s the idea and what can we expect? Exploration of inaction. Of many kinds. In arts and in personal life, or at bigger and more serious levels. Questioning myself as a human being as well as an artist. Acknowledging the growing activism all around, and the very clear need for it, and how it reflects my own inaction. Musically speaking, after Rakka, Isoviha and Speed Demon, I finally found some relief, but more importantly lost the need to go musically ever more outward and intensive. I felt quite strongly certain periods/moods from the past and they made me revisit some musical ideas or states of mind I was exploring early on. It’s about live moments being captured, not much premeditation or editing. More intuitive and raw, even though the end result (to me) feels and sounds quite introspective and calm. It’s not very ambitious. Momentary and reflective. 2) Your music doesn’t sound very silent. Does it come from somewhere behind the silence? Oh, this time to me it sounds quite quiet and playing with space if not silence. I don’t know what’s actually behind silence, but I think silence is the source of everything. We just don’t understand it yet. 3) What kind of thoughts or experiences gave inspiration to this series? Writing this in Nov ’22, it’s not a stretch to say the world has been really unwell. Sometimes, like Mika Vainio put it, the world eats you up. I feel a bit like that. And I try to hide in my studio and stay away from it all, but it’s getting harder by the day. I’ve been questioning myself and thinking if what us artists are doing is worth anything, and whether it’s just a selfish thing I’ve been doing for the past 25 years, running away from everything. I haven’t come to a conclusion yet. 4) Is it easy for you to be in silence, or around silence? Absolutely. I not only hide behind silence but I also love silence. It’s only since I started going back to nature as a grown-up person that I sensed and was enveloped by silence, true silence. I have begun to appreciate it a lot. I think all the people should spend more time in silence. All tracks composed and produced by Sasu Ripatti. Artwork by Marc Hohmann, photography by Shinnosuke Yoshimori.

I don't mind if those stories are shared verbally around a campfire, written on the pages of a book, captured in photography, or shown through a compelling video. Stories are at the core who I am and how I connect with the world. My profession is sharing stories in a beautiful way that connects with others. I grew up captivated by National Geographic photography. After attending school for photography I studied verbal and non-verbal communication. Over the years I've worked in the fields of photography, video, website creation, design branding, creative directing, and I was also a trainer for Apple in California and Iowa. I've been featured GoPro and you may have seen some of my images in DSM Magazine, Downtown Living Magazine, Juice Magazine, and AAA Living Magazine but my true happiness in life comes from being a husband (and soon to be father). I also enjoy volunteering for local non-profits and spending quality time with friends and family. Next on the agenda is starting a podcast and earning my pilots license. I'd love to connect with you so please email me to say hello! We all know photography isn’t just about what camera you have in your hands, it is about how you look at and experience the world around you. In this book, I share a few thoughts and stories of how photography has shaped how I approach my own reality by being mindful and present in the moment, embracing experiences, and finding meaning by shifting my own perspective. Life is a beautiful experience and photography can be a great way to experience it.

It is a type of hoop with a shaft, made up of a molded vertical centrepiece and a series of curving branches bearing drip trays and spikes. • Documentary film At about the same time, the British director H. Bruce Woolfe reconstructed battles of World War I in a series of compilation films, a type of documentary that bases an interpretation of history on factual news material. • Paticca-samuppada These events happen in a series, one interrelating group of events producing another. The series is usually described as a chain of 12 links (nidanas, causes), though some texts abridge these to 10, 9, 5, or 3. • Wind instrument The series is particularly significant among the natural trumpet-type aerophones (i.e., those lacking valves, finger holes, keys, or slides), for the pitches that could be played are limited to a range of 1 to about 16 notes from this series without some device to alter the fundamental. • Carboniferous Period Most of the formations representing the type sequence are found in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. The Kinderhookian Series includes the Hannibal Formation and the Chouteau Group. • Graphic design The resulting standard sizes of type enabled him to pioneer the type family, a series of typefaces with differing stroke weights and letter widths whose similar sizes and design characteristics allowed them to be used together in an overall design.

Many times before I thought about going back and revisiting some of those old drawings with my current skill set, because there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing your own improvement and growth. So that’s what I did! I redrew my oldest Photoshop digital painting in my style today, using all the knowledge that has been gathered through the years. Cheap Art Supply Challenge Using cheap art supplies is nothing new to me and I never thought of it as much of a challenge, but then I came across the “Cheap Art Supply Challenge” on You Tube where artist try to create a good piece using cheap markers, watercolors and what not. As someone who didn’t take her art seriously for years and years, I never felt comfortable spending extra on good professional art supplies and always tried to make it work with what I had. I used to paint watercolors on printer paper, I’ve made digital pieces in MS Paint, using the mouse… and now I’m making YouTube videos on my smart phone. I grew up in a very frugal environment, in times when there was either nothing available to buy or we could not afford it. So I became quite good at doing the best I can with the materials I already have available. While I’m trying to get out of this mindset and allow myself to expand to more professional materials, I still sometimes have troubles purchasing something I’m not entirely sure I’ll use a lot. When I picked up watercolors again (as an adult), I resisted buying quality supplies, before I could prove to myself that I’m really interested and that “it isn’t just a phase”. Now 3 years later I’m still not using the top quality supplies, because I don’t paint every day, I don’t offer any watercolor paintings for sale and it just doesn’t feel justified yet. That being said I have tried quality paints, paper and brushes and know for a fact that quality art supplies are worth it. Switching from “whatever I can get my hands on” to “the real deal” feels so amazing, it’s almost as if the materials are drawing by themselves and I don’t need to do a thing! So there’s the upside to using non- professional, low quality materials, when you finally make the switch drawing feels so effortless! It doesn’t always work that way of course, sometimes you need to re-learn how the new materials behave and interact. I would however recommend it to anyone, especially to beginners and people who are not sure whether a new interest will stick: hold on the big investments, try the more affordable options first! Now I am finally moving away from the “cheap stuff”, so I’m not too eager to go back to it, but I thought it might be fun to do a “Cheap Art Supply Challenge” anyway. I didn’t buy anything especially for the challenge, because I don’t like buying stuff I know for sure I’m not going to need. Using old supplies I already have, on the other hand, felt like a bit of a cheat, since I know them already. So I tried to be creative and to pick up pens and markers, that would not even be considered “art supplies”, but maybe “office supplies”. Mechanical pencil Mine came in a package of 3 at Tiger (a local low price store) for 10 dkk (1,34 € \| 1,5$). Staedtler marker Even cheaper! I got this one at a Startup Weekend event. Yay! Talon Double Highlighters (orange and green, yellow and purple, blue and pink) 10 dkk (1,34 € \| 1,5$) at Normal (a local low price store). (probably mixed media) I’m fairly certain the paper I used is actually good quality, I got it from an art friend, who moved to a different country, so it was definitely “cheap” for me 🙂 The one thing on the list that is absolutely 100% , not even a little bit an art supply. Well, I guess one can argue about that, since it has been used in the creation of more art then probably any other art supply 😀 As for the price, I wouldn’t know, got it from my mom. Daler Rowney round brush 4 Ok, this one is actual watercolor brush, because I couldn’t find anything that’s not a brush, but can be used as a brush. It was too big and my coffee was too watery to have a good control anyway, hope that makes it ok 🙂 Coffee Flower Girl I was pretty sure I’ll nail this illustration, because what can go wrong? Well everything! I haven’t used most of these together and even though I made a quick test in the beginning, it didn’t stop me from messing up. As I actually expected the paper didn’t take the water al that well, but it was still working out pretty fine. It all went fairly well until I decided to go for a second layer of coffee to make the color deeper. That’s when I found out all my markers are neither water proof, nor resistent and they bled all over the place. I saved it as best I could, but the illustration is still a bit of a fail. It was still fun to draw and I learned from it. It makes me wonder what can I do now that I am aware of the reaction, probably all kinds of cool effects that I should go back and experiment with! Do you sometimes use cheap art supplies or not even art supplies? What have you experimented with and what have you discovered? Share with me some cool ideas in the comments 😉 Fave fun! 30 Days Drawing Challenge: A Road Trip Through Art History Lately I’ve been looking into ways to motivate myself to create personal pieces on a more regular schedule. It all kept coming back to doing a (at least) 30 days drawing challenge. Inktober is coming, but I don’t want to wait a month, I want to start already now! So I was looking into various existing challenges online and while they all seemed fun enough nothing really spoke to me. It became clear that if I’m to make this work I’ll have to find an exciting topic myself. Somehow in the process of searching for inspiration an idea popped up in my head: I will create my own interpretations of classical paintings. My goal is to come up with 30 (for a start) digital (vector) pieces, in which I’ll be trying to keep to the following “rules”: • Keep to a minimal (maximum 6 colours) colour palette • Keep to a flat vector style with outlines • Keep the visual style as consistent as possible (another one of those “time-to-define-my-personal-style-already” things) • Keep as close to the original as the style allows, but deviations are still ok, it is also ok to chose to work only from a segment of the original piece • Any piece of art since the beginning of time till around mid- XX century is fine, as well as any place of origin of the artwork • There’s no list of art pieces prepared upfront (I want to keep this open and feel free to approach any piece that may catch my interest, although there are quite a few I’m pretty sure will make it in the chosen 30) I’ll probably make up more rules as I go, but for now it is all pretty wide open. I only know that I want to explore a wide variety of art pieces from all corners of art history, but my goal is to interpret them in “my own style”, while at the same time keeping a feel of the original, but making all my interpretations consistent with each other and visually connected as a part of the same series. Oh, and let’s face it, these will probably be dominated by portraits of pretty girls, because that’s usually what I revert to when left to my own devices. So what am I trying to achieve? • Have fun • Explore “my style” • Become more consistent in “my style” • Draw every day • Post new art every day • Refresh my art history knowledge • Explore and study different artists, periods and places • … and more? For my first piece in the series I chose a painting I didn’t even know the name of ( I didn’t know the name of the artist neither), but have always loved. After some research I found out the painting is called “Magdalene with the Smoking Flame” by Georges de La Tour. I love the mystical atmosphere, the lighting and the way the girl is staring in the flame, reminds me of my own fascination with fire. Making the piece was a lot of fun and definitely a great start in the series. Let’s see what the next 30 days brings! …Now that I think about it this might also have a little something to do with my enjoyment of this painting! Also check out my process painting for this piece: Follow my progress: Sketches: on Instagram Finished pieces: on Tumblr \| Deviantart ? maybe… Process videos: on YouTube (I won’t be recording all of them, though!) Watercolor Speedpaint Illustration I did not manage to get a lot of painting done while in Barcelona, so now I am catching up at home using photo references. I wanted to start by drawing a cathedral or Arc de Triomf, or the Museum of Art, or some other fancy building, but even though these are impressive what I find stuck in my mind are the narrow streets of the old town, the tiny balconies almost hidden in hanging curtains of greenery, the water fountains, the palms, the other plants I’ve never seen, the blue water of the Mediterranean, the rocks of Montserrat … So these were the things I mostly wanted to draw. That’s why I started with a quick watercolor painting of a small balcony and a window covered in lush foliage. I started by throwing some paint on the paper, then I gave it time to dry and drew all the details in pen on top of it. After that I added more color and defined the plants a little more. It was a fun quick and loose illustration for my watercolor journal and I recorded the process for a timelapse video, which you can see here: 10 things I’ve learned from sketching in pen I often feel guilty when days go by without any sketching exercise. I know well that drawing is just like sports, it takes daily practice to keep your skills fresh and to improve, yet there are often periods when I go for weeks without practice and later when I get back to it I can feel that there has been a regression. So I’ve been asking myself what is keeping me from drawing every day. The answers that came up are probably a topic for another discussion, but the thing that stood out to me the most was: It takes a lot of time and the reason for that is usually my perfectionism. I want a great looking sketch and it rarely happens. Lately I’ve been enjoying a style of clean pen sketches, sometimes with some watercolor splashed here and there, but the way I’d usually go about it would be: make several pencil sketches on top of each other, erase a lot, cover my table into eraser dust (or whatever the chunks of scrapped paper and eraser are called), mess up the paper completely, maybe start over, get discouraged, hopefully make a pencil sketch I can work with, ink it, erase the underlying pencil sketch, smear the pen, because I’d be too impatient, get annoyed, at times not even finish… I’d end up with a sketch that’s neither presentable enough to show (because that seems to be a goal way more often than it should), nor would provide me with the exercise I needed, because instead of focusing on learning and exploring, I’d be too concerned with perfect results that I can show off. The solution I came up with was simple: draw directly in pen! No pencils allowed! I even decided that the new sketchbook I stared will be a “pen only” sketchbook. It had the perfect size to be carried around all the time, nice, smooth pen- friendly paper and it was pretty cheap, so no worries about “ruining it”. In addition to it all I have received some pretty good pens as a gift and was excited to give them a go. I’m not yet even half way through the sketchbook, due to my busy schedule, but I can feel the results already, so here are the 10 things I discovered from only sketching in pen. 1. Perfect is not better Imperfection is beautiful! A clumsy trembling line, a messed up perspective, badly placed object- no big deal! They all have a certain hand- made, unique and personal charm to them. All those characteristics are lost in a “perfect” finished piece. It’s funny that when I look at other people’s work I feel most drawn to those spontaneous looking, loose, free sketches, with an unfinished, unrefined charm and yet I restrict myself from producing them by seeking perfection. 2. It’s faster Well, that’s probably obvious. No constant erasing, no time wasted to get details “right”. If it doesn’t work, just start over! For the most part though I was happy even with the mistakes. In couple of minutes you end up with a page filled with bunch of small studies and you already get a sense of achievement, because you see a result. When you have the opportunity to erase, the results just keep disappearing and it’s increasingly frustrating. 3. It’s cleaner The pages remain white and crisp, not torn up and crumpled by the crazy erasing. No pencil smears either and if the pen is good, no ink stains. Furthermore the sketch won’t fade over time and turn the whole page grey, which is the case with my older sketchbooks filled up entirely in pencil drawings. 4. I’m braver Drawing only in pencil has been an incredibly liberating experience. When you start with the thought that there will be no going back on your drawing there’s also no reason to hold back. It will be what it will be! One might think that the opportunity to erase will give more room for experimentation, because of the safety net it provides, but no, it doesn’t. At least not for me. When using a pen I don’t need to fear that I’ll screw up; I pretty much assume I will, so there’s nothing to lose, just have to do it and see what that teaches me, what interesting new results will emerge. 5. My concentration is better Drawing in pen seems to make me more alert. When you know there’s no erasing you are trying to “get it right” the first time, so your focus is improved, which is a great thing also outside the context of drawing. Sketching is not just an exercise for the hand, but also for the eye and improved observation skills lead to better drawing. When you know your work will be permanent it also makes you think harder and plan your moves better. You have to visualize a finished piece upfront, so you can position it better. 6. I am more present When I later look at those pen sketches I can remember where I was, what I was thinking, what my mood was, what I was listening to… It’s the perfect tool to create memories, especially when traveling. There’s a constant talk lately about the benefits of journaling. I’d say, make it an art journaling! Quickly sketching your experiences will capture the moment much better than any photograph. In fact I believe that in this day and age taking pictures actually destroys memory. Photographing is so easy, accessible and cheap, that we overdo it. We put zero thought into snapping a picture; we take too many and never look at them again. It just loses all meaning, but that is a topic for another day…. 7. My confidence improves I’ve noticed that my pen only sketches are not half as bad as I first expected them to be. I’m actually quite pleased with them. Few years ago I’ve almost stopped drawing on paper. Everything I did was digital and I was terrified of all traditional media, as I was sure it will show how bad I really am at drawing. Without Ctrl+Z to save me I have no unlimited opportunities to go back and keep fixing a piece until it looks good. Removing the option to go back is actually not that scary at all, in fact it will show you there’s nothing to fear. Mistakes are not that bad, nor happen that often. A great way to gain some extra confidence is to deny you the chance to go back and second guess yourself. It’s after all just practice! 8. I discover interesting lines and expressions These show up especially in moments of laziness when I just don’t feel like doing it “properly” at all. I’d scribble or hatch as my hand feels like and I can see all the ways my hand wants to move and make lines. I never seem to do that in pencil as it more often than not creates a mess. Sketching in pen gives me sort of a map of what my hand is “thinking about” while moving around or maybe it’s the way my eyes move while tracing the object. It reminds me of a dance on paper and it’s beautiful! This effect resembles a blind contour exercise, but with some more control. It’s very relaxing too. 9. I can follow my process (and progress) When you are erasing the different stages of your drawing you lose some of the process. Sometimes you even regret later on not following an earlier direction. That’s especially useful when making studies for a bigger piece. I can also notice that a lot in my digital work. When I make a logo or illustration in Adobe Illustrator I often copy paste before I continue, so I have saved an earlier stage of my work and can go back to it at any time without losing any of the progress. I also like keeping the entire work in progress. Occasionally an early idea would be better than the ones that come later. At times though they won’t, or you’d just make mistakes, but erased mistakes are forgotten, gone forever and yet bound to come back again. Leaving your mistakes obvious makes it easy to remember them, go back and learn from them. 10. It is actually fun! Erasing frustrates me quite a lot and yet when I have the chance to do it its hard to resist, but when sketching in pen that decision is taken away from me. I just have to lean back and enjoy the ride wherever it wants to take me! I’m sure there’s a lot more to learn from sketching in pen. I’m just starting now, but I’m sure I’ll have more to add to the list in the future. Have you tried pen only sketching? Did you enjoy and what did you learn? I’d love to hear more opinions, so please share in the comments!

It incorporates definite delineations and straightforward drawing guidelines. While drawing creatures can be intricate this is a reasonably novice companion instructional exercise as it offers an extremely nitty gritty breakdown of the drawing interaction. The models show how you can take a hawk’s most trademark highlights with an insignificant measure of detail and make a genuinely reasonable looking line drawing. It’s suggested that you start the instructional exercise in pencil and draw a Bird that you can without much of a stretch eradicate in the event that you commit an error. You should do as such in a few of the means. For a study hall tried attracting project that identifies with learns about American images, you can’t beat this Draw a Bald Eagle instructional exercise. I utilized it ordinarily while instructing in the study hall, and the basic advances worked for understudies even as youthful as kindergarten. This instructional exercise utilizes heaps of fundamental shapes, and only a couple that cover one another. The head is before the shoulders, and the feet before the branch. Youthful specialists need practice with these ideas before they go on to different ones. How to Draw a Bald Eagle Step 1: Draw an Outline of the Body And Eagle’s Head Draw a Bald Eagle Start the drawing with a straightforward blueprint, fundamentally an outline with no of the more modest subtleties. First Draw a Bald Eagle genuinely huge bill with a snare like tip and a while later add the lines to characterize the top and base parts of the head/neck. Kindly know that you can and may have to frail this blueprint as you start adding the various pieces of the head. Step 2: Draw the Head Surrounding Shapes Draw a Bald Eagle the eye as a circle or a light oval with it’s top part softly covered by the eyebrow. You can project the eyebrow line/brow line from the space where the nose changes into the head. A short time later you can draw a some development lines for the plume design above and beneath the eye as demonstrated in the model. If it’s not too much trouble, note that the real quills will be included later advances and these lines would then be able to be deleted. Step 3: Draw the “Cheek” Area of Eagle From about the center of the shape encompassing the eye going down to about the tip of the bill diagram the quill example of the “cheek” territory. You would then be able to broaden the lower part of the bill to essentially converge into it’s base bend. Step 4: Draw the Details of the Bill Draw a Bald Eagle Add the more modest subtleties of the bill as demonstrated in the bit by bit breakdown beneath. • Add the line that parts the top and base parts • Draw a wave like line in the upper segment to isolate it from the nose region • Show the “lips” as a layout of the mouth that is more extensive towards the base and smaller towards the tip • Adhere to a meaningful boundary that isolates it from the head • Add the nostril Step 5: Draw the Details of the Eye Indeed you can see a bit by bit breakdown beneath. Draw a Bald Eagle This time for the eye. • Draw the student as a little circle or a light vertical oval • Add the feature (light reflecting from the eye) covering the student as a minuscule even oval (can be just about any shape contingent upon light source) • Show the eyelids as a blueprint around the fundamental state of the eye • Characterize the concealed region • Fill in the student and “in shadow” part of the eye with dark or pencil concealing At this stage you ought to have an essentially completed fundamental diagram Draw a Penguin of the hawk’s head. So you can start obscuring the lines you will save for your last drawing by going over them with more strong strokes. You can then again utilize a pen or a dark marker yet just on the off chance that you are certain that you will not commit an error. Step 7: Draw the Feathers Around Leg To make the falcon look more sensible and less like a wire outline you would now be able to add a portion of the quill design beginning with the space around the eye. You can draw the majority of these with only two lines adding some single and lines to a great extent to cause the example to show up more arbitrary. Likewise attempt and attract each cluster to be marginally extraordinary size and to have somewhat of an irregular wave or bend (various headings). You can draw the quill lines with Draw a Bald Eagle strokes immediately as you as of now have the development lines from the past lines to direct you. You would then be able to utilize the tip of an eradicate to eliminate the rules after you are finished. Step 8: Finish the Eagle Drawing With Color Draw a Bald Eagle At long last add the last pieces of plumes as some genuinely arbitrary bunches of clusters around the upper neck region and back of the head. This will make an appearance of the Draw a Bald Eagle head being canvassed in genuinely harsh plumes without drawing each and every one of them. When you finish these you ought to be finished with the drawing of the falcon’s head.

It begins with a visual piece. As an antidote to contemporary investment in heroic Antarctic narratives, Action Man, Antarctic Inertia takes the original 1970s special issue Antarctic Action Man on another kind of journey, restaging his adventures through the landscape. Concentrating on the excessive expenditure of explorers’ accounts, as opposed to the heroic destinations of the original, this visual mapping considers nonproductive landscape encounters in order to explore other possibilities of staging history and geography. The written essay that forms the second part of this article concentrates on the anxieties of representation that emerge from the interplay between mark making and being marked, and the marks that fall beyond this visual register. Using the metaphor of light, which includes both the light cast on a photographic plate and the dubious physical light of the Antarctic landscape, I examine how this marker both constitutes a trace of history and a fleeting form of knowledge production. As a mode of representation, landscape photography simultaneously illuminates and obscures the histories of encounter with landscape. The argument proceeds by looking at how the photographic frame both arrests landscape and points to a subtle beyond (Barthes). Using narratives from the Heroic era (1890s–1910s) expeditions, I then consider how landscape exposure collides with photographic exposure to present other inhabitations that are in excess of the photograph. In these other narratives, the landscape writes through the body to disrupt the heroic narrative of a contained and purposeful body in the landscape. This Antarctic ‘look back’ ultimately points the way to new geographies of visual culture that expand understandings of the Antarctic landscape. At the same time, by exceeding the visual, this approach provides the grounds for a renewed ethics of engagement with the ability of landscape to inscribe the explorer’s body as he inscribes the surface of the continent through embodied journeys and representational practice. In conclusion, I argue for a reciprocal dialogue between landscape and vision, one that acknowledges that vision is entangled with pain, blindness and excess as much as with a clear sighting of encounter.

Alfredo Rodriguez Mata Ortiz & Casas Grandes A sgraffito Day of the Dead design on a black and white jar Alfredo Rodriguez is a potter from Mata Ortiz. He most likely learned to make pottery from his cousin, Luis Armando Rodriguez but his early work also showed a significant influence from another cousin: Manuel (Manolo) Rodriguez. More recently, Freddy has been producing a lot of black and white sgraffito Day of the Dead and Night of the Dead designs on his pots, in addition to his contemporary black-on-beige painted designs. He is married to potter Diana Loya and they often collaborate on their projects. They live in the Barrio Americano neighborhood in Mata OrtizDay of the Dead Mata Ortiz The Day of the Dead, El Dia de los Muertos, is a holiday celebrated in Mexico where ancient Aztec rituals going back more than 2,500 years are merged with Catholic beliefs brought by the Spaniards in the 1500's. The holiday is about honoring the ancestors with food, drink, parties and other activities designed to include the ancestors' spirits in today's daily life. Families also set up ofrendas, or private altars, to honor their ancestors. Death is considered an integral part of the continuum of life and, as such, is not to be feared. Celebrations occur November 1 (All Saints Day) when adult spirits come to visit, and November 2 (All Souls Day) when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves of their loved ones. This is a very colorful holiday with marigolds, cardboard skeletons, sugar skulls, incense and tissue paper decorations in riotous colors everywhere. Depictions of Day of the Dead activities is a motif explored by several renowned potters from the village of Mata Ortiz in Chihuahua, Northern Mexico. Premier among them is Hector Javier Martinez who originated the style in 2008 after searching for "something different" to help him secure pottery making as a vocation. He has since won several major awards for his Day of the Dead (and Night of the Dead) pottery, the very prestigious Presidencial Award from the Mexico National Ceramics Concourso in Tlaquepaque among them. Alfredo Rodriguez, Diana Loya, Martin Corona, Adrian Corona and Emiliano Rodriguez are some of the other Mata Ortiz artists using Day of the Dead and Night of the Dead motifs as inspiration for their own creations.

Cornelia Parker by Cornelia Parker and Iwona Blazwick Thames & Hudson, 2014, £24.95 Paperback, 256pp, 360 Illustrations, 315 in colour Cornelia Parker, Transitional Object II, 1996 - Net, hooks, thread and bags of lead Cornelia Parker has developed something of a niche as a conceptual artist enjoyed by a wide public. Three questions might asked of this substantial survey of her 40 year career to date. Does it present her work successfully? Does it engage with it critically? And, when looked at as a whole, what conclusion does it lead to on her overall importance? The first question is easy to answer. This is a superbly designed book. Following introductions by Yoko Ono and Bruce Ferguson, there are 360 excellent illustrations, most of which come with extensive captions by Parker herself. It’s like being at an artist’s slide talk, and Parker is highly engaging as she explains her work with a mixture of autobiographical reminiscence and unpretentious accounts of her aims. We hear about her Anglo-German background; her early involvement with experimental theatre; how she found her artistic voice in the communal atmosphere of a Leytonstone squat in the 1980s; the appealingly self-sufficient and non-commercial attitude which meant she had no gallery representation until 1997. Moreover, we get to see and hear about ephemeral or rarely-seen work such a schoolhouse completely drawn-over in chalk; the artist throwing ‘words which define gravity’ off the cliffs of Dover; and the mournful black tents which followed the death of her parents. Parker’s commentaries are interspersed with five essays by Whitechapel director Iwona Blazwick which pull together common themes in an equally accessible way. This varies the pace, and makes for a good balance. How strong is the critical engagement? Blazwick’s categorisations are useful: she discusses the found object; the performative aspect in Parker’s work - most visible in her use of Tilda Swinton as a sleeping sculpture (‘The Maybe’, 1995); how Parker abstracts from the normal use of objects, such as by zooming in on microscopic details or drawing a wedding ring out into wire; her use of scientific knowledge; and the role of power structures. Blazwick points out that Parker is notably good at persuading people and institutions – Army, Church and State – to collaborate in surprising ways, and summarises her as ‘fundamentally a sculptor who marshals epistemology and polemics with an overarching and exceptional aesthetic’. That ability to combine the practical, phenomenological and philosophical does characterise her best work, but overall – as may be the aim - Blazwick point outs patterns rather than evaluating merits. 'Room for Margins, 1998: from ‘Venetian Scene’ circa 1840-5, JMW Turner, N05482,1998 That leads to the obvious third question: how good is the work? Much of it plays on the modern tradition of the ‘found object’, which Parker takes in two particular and original directions. First, she trades on the aura of their pre-history: that’s not just any feather, but one which was present in Freud’s consulting couch; that photograph was taken with Rudolf Hess’s camera; that fly died on a Donald Judd sculpture. Second, the object becomes just one of many unstable points in its own history, which may range from the formative (as in her wittily menacing ‘Embryo Guns’) to the ghostly afterlife of an object steamrollered, thrown from heights, shot or burned. One particularly elegant transformative move was to show the canvas liners which backed some Turner paintings as found abstracts, then return them to the Tate’s collection to be reclassified as her own work. Pornographic Drawing (1996) Ferric oxide on paper All of this comes across optimally in this book. That said, those tropes can turn conceptualism into a fairly light game, close at times to autograph hunting. The key, I think, is whether the nature of the investigation chimes with the form taken by the work, and how successfully it taps into broader concerns. Neither the grids made from wire drawn out of bullets, for example, nor ‘Stolen Thunder’(1997-98), a series of rubbings resulting from polishing the tarnish from famous people’s artefacts, amount to much beyond their origins; whereas the beautiful ‘Pornographic Drawings’ (1996-2005), which used ink made from videotapes chopped up by Customs & Excise, form Rorschach blots which pick up on the psychology involved in understanding the tastes of others, and also prove, as Parker says, ‘particularly explicit, betraying their figurative origins’. It’s the same with the more substantial works: where resonant origins and an appropriate and distinctive aesthetic combine to tap into what may be our collective unconscious, the results are plangently memorable. The blown-up shed with its shadow play out of terrorism (‘Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View’,1991); the squashing and squeezing the breathe from old instruments (e.g. ‘Perpetual Canon’, 1994); and the suspensions of charred churches with racially contrasting congregations and causes of burning – ‘Mass (Colder Darker Matter)’, 1997 and ‘Anti-Mass’, 2005 – all meet that demanding set of conditions. They also utilise what might be seen as Parker’s signature moves: luring the viewer into seduction by violence, and suspending objects tremulously on hardly-visible wires. Parker has, then, made a wide range of always-diverting works and a number of reverberant classics. It’s more than most achieve, and well worth this fine record… and worthy, too, of the extensive retrospective which makes Parker the biggest artistic presence in the jamoboree of shows which the newly reopened Whitworth Gallery has been able to fit into its extended space in Manchester. PRIVATE - Mona Kuhn Text by David Campany, 112 pages, 74 color plates 29.7 x 31 cm, Clothbound hardcover with dust-jacket Published by Steidl, 2014, £38 Available from the Flowers Gallery, which represents Mona Kuhn in the UK Private (cover) Mona Kuhn was born in São Paulo of German descent, and lives in Los Angeles. She’s known for relaxed, intimate nudes and meditatively spacious landscapes infused which vary width of apertures, depth of field and degree of focus to suggest the fleeting nature of perception. This, her 6th photo book, is a tour de force which covers those bases and more. The title is actually in mirror writing, being derived from a photograph of the back of a glass door. It suggests, then, that we are in a place of privileged access. What is that place? Not some celebrity’s world uncovered, but the stilled gracefulness and blurred implications of Kuhn’s distinctive aesthetic, handsomely presented in a 31 x 30cm format. It’s the result of two years’ travel in the Californian and Arizonian desert, described by Kuhn as ‘a personal journey, weaving together the desert’s beauty with its brutal sense of mortality’. Another implication of that reverse word title is that Kuhn is inside the human condition, looking out – to see the desert as a metaphor. Or as David Campany has it in his accompanying text: ‘the desert’s seductive threat is always there of course. It menaces from the edges.… The sun is coming to devour everything and take the mystery with it’. That text aside, the book consists of the 74 images, the pointers of their individual titles, and the flow and implied narrative of the sequence. On a picture by picture basis, Kuhn sets off little transformations, detonated by her titles: trees read as smoke, their shadows as ‘Antler’; a rock is seen to ‘Howl’; a flag seems sadly alone, an interior with wallpaper stands for the ocean floor. People drift through with resonant names: Jet, Blu, Gigi and Daisy. That last is the title given to the image of a woman who may be so named, but is covered by a lace-like pattern of flower shadows which may also be the eponymous reference. Light, shadows, and refraction are recurrent, and they combine with the desert trope of the mirage to feed into intricate fragmentation of figures. When light is absent, it seems willed and unnatural. ‘Most homes I have been inside had their curtains closed’, says Kuhn, ‘people get tired of the heat, you start feeling the weight of light, it becomes heavy… Some of the desert people I met prefer to live in darkness’. The landscape and its people are dominant, but are also still lives and several beautiful photographs which act as abstractions (e.g. ‘Mesa’, ‘Patina’ and ‘Outside Winslow’). Composition 1 The book’s most obvious movement is through light and colour. It opens with ‘Stain’ which evokes a Chinese landscape drawing, but actually shows wallpaper sullied by water, and so somewhat ironically tees up the move to a desert landscape. It also initiates an undercurrent of menace, picked up directly in, for example, ‘Black Widow’ (in which the spider is tattooed on a hand shown up close), spider webs, a zoom in on a scarred torso, and a gecko ‘Contained’ within an architectural framing. Consistent use of the golden brown of a well-tanned skin links bodies with landscapes, interiors and geometries. Half-way through, dusk falls and we move into dun browns, the sun absent save for its effects (‘Sun Rot’ shows the inside of a window covered against the sun, which has atrophied the protective layer). We pass into morning, to find Blu coming round from sleep and Sibyl – be that name or role – sitting poised, grey-haired, naked, and tattooed with foliage. Indeed, the only verdant vegetation in the book is on her, or on wallpaper - until the last image: we end with bouquets of roses, the book’s brightest colour note, and yet pastel and muted for all that. A People on the Cover - Glenn Ligon Ridinghouse 2015 £15.95 Softback 24 × 17 cm 144 pp, Design by Joseph Logan Glenn Ligon has had a significant British presence of late: major solo shows at Thomas Dane and the Camden Arts Centre in 2014, and now a wide ranging curation of the artist who matter to him, at Nottingham contemporary ('Encounters and Collisions', 3 April - 14 June. This unusual book shine the light on some of the background of an artist who identifies himself strongly as black and gay. Essentially it presents a view of how black Americans were seen and saw themselves through the medium of the book cover - which is to say photographs of covers - during Ligon's own formative period of 1960-78. Such covers are, logically enough, well-suited to the book sized presentation, and the result is handsome. Ligon arranges his choices thematically, starting with portrait covers showing how, as he puts it 'with the rise of the civil rights black power movements, beauty was seen as an arena in which the battle for equality could be fought’. We see, for example, LeRoi Jones, Gill Scott-Heron, Toni Morrison and James Baldwin – a particular touchstone for Ligon. The book goes on to consider synecdochal images - shots of parts of the body showing how in Stuart Hall's words, it was used "as if it was, and it often was, only cultural capital we had'. Then come images of assertion and revolution incorporating Malcom X, Chester Himes and Dick Gregory; and graphic cover styles which Ligon links to his own powerful use of words in his art. The trenchant red on black lettering on the cover of The Fire Next Time is what first attracted him to Baldwin. Finally,Ligon looks at how writers set themselves the task of imagining the narratives of African American history in new ways. The result is an evocative visual history, but also a very personal one. Ligon opens with a memoir of boyhood explaining the role played by books in forming is self-identity, and points to the particular importance of the covers to him, as he was typically ordering by post from catalogues absence of well-stocked bookshops in his Harlem neighbourhood. A People on the Cover is a quick read: one could say it is not too substantial, but it is refreshingly original and beautifully pitched. Purtroppo Ti Amo: Federico Pacini Editrice Quinlan, 2013, €32 There are three ways of looking at Italian photographer Federico Pacini’s impressively produced Purtroppo Ti Amo (Unfortunately I Love You): as a collection of individual photographs brought together to advantage, as 58 diptychs of two photographs in (almost exclusively) landscape format, or as one work made up of 116 photographs. The first view certainly yields some strong and unconventional images. One could say, though, that they seem to borrow the tropes of various others: William Egglestone, Stephen Shore and Luigi Ghirri come to mind. It’s the dual view which brings Pacini into his element. Each double page spread makes connections between the two images, whether that be through paired subects (two photographs with bus stops, chairs, windows…), a visual match (often of shapes; or where clothes on one side pick up the colour combination of a car opposite; or the raised sodium of a streetlight among trees and metal structures reflects the raised orange of a tarpaulin with tress and very different metal structures) or a conceptual one (the sign ‘Blades’ paired with the graffiti ‘Hate’; a medieval drapery set against a modern tarpaulin, Jesus implicitly compared with coca cola). That might make it a book of paired photos, but themes also connect between the diptychs. Pacini was born (in 1977) and lives in Sienna and most of what we’re shown is the Sienna the tourists don’t see (or at least don’t take in and remember): vending machines, waiting rooms, patches of wasteland, parked cars, suburbia, glimpses behind the scenes of small businesses. When we do see the expected cathedral, Piazza del Campo and the Palio horse race which takes place there, it’s only indirectly (reflected in a shop window, or as a model) or second hand (seen in a poster or photograph shown in an interior) and is often out of season and distorted. As, not surprisingly, religious references also course through the portrait of this decidedly Catholic town, it’s possible to think that the air of a place not quite at its peak contains a suggestion that that side of life is a hangover past its time. That’s why, perhaps, it’s unfortunate that what Pacini loves is in decline. Saturday 26 April 2015 proved an interesting one as there was an unusual variety of art events on in London: Carlos Jacanamijoy: Nacido en el fuego, 2008-13, oil on canvas, 200x124cm Born in Fire First I visited Sandra Higgins in the Kensington flat she uses as a gallery (open by appointment) to carry forward her campaign to achieve recognition for artists discovered on her regular trips to Colombia. Carlos Jacanamijoy (those ‘j’s are pronounced as ‘h’s) is famous enough in Bogotá to be widely recognised in the street. One of only 4% - a persecuted minority - who are of native blood, Jacanamijoy is the son of a shaman, but also trained in the traditions of western painting. Exploiting that unusual combination, he reflects the jungle and his Inga heritage through burningly bright abstracted numinous places in which a range of personal symbols of his own devising refer to such matters as social relations, the local fauna, and the hallucinogenic drugs experiences caused by the psychotropic yajé vine in tribal ceremonies. He deserves a higher European profile. Extracts from Jacanamijoy's list of symbols To the London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy, which alternated old and new to somewhat dizzying effect, but contained a fair proportion of good material as well as such counter-titular absurdities as Eric Ravilious prints made in 2014. Three – oddly enough all abstract - works which caught my eye more positively were: Emperor Twist, 2015 Woodblock 64.5 × 64.5 cm, Edition of 35 Pennsylvania-based Durham Press’s Brand new Polly Apfelbaum woodprints, dizzyingly heraldic grids made from scores of individual diamond blocks, which take their zingy inspiration from the mosaics she saw during a one year residency in Rome. It's no surprise that colour takes a central role, though the American artist is best known for using it on less orthodox bases than paper. Richard Diebenkorn: Untitled (1971–76) watercolour at Emanuel von Baeyer The Richard Diebenkorn survey is still in the Sackler Rooms above the Print Fair, as I was reminded by this typical late work on paper: not a study for the Ocean Park series – Diebenkorn never worked from sketches – but an exploration of the same structures in a different way, and like the paintings in demonstrating its hesitations and uncertainties as the artist seeks to make it work. Not, though, particularly cheap at £300,000. Howard Hodgkin: Autumn, 2014 at Alan Cristea - Carborundum relief on Moulin du Gue 350gsm paper 26.5 × 32.5 cm Edition of 30 I don’t claim to be a devotee of Howard Hodgkin’s mainstream output, and have had enough of his false framing device. But I was drawn to the lighter and more open composition of his recent near-floral carbondarum prints. The oriental echoes are no surprise, but I was reminded of a recent conversation in which I’d been assured that the Japanese cherry blossom season is no better than the English one, just better celebrated. Jonathan Trayte: The Shopper's Guide at the Royal Academy of Arts The Dazed and Confused emerging artists award round the back of the Royal Academy is well worth catching. Five finalists were selected from 1,700 entries, and given that they received only £1000 each, their whole room installations are immensely impressive. That shows the energy of the artists - who had to be under 35, not in education and not represented by a gallery – not just in making work but in obtaining additional sponsorship. Lawrence Lek's striking animation, in which the viewer takes the controls of a helicopter hovering over the the Royal Academy reimagined as a luxury housing development, is a worthy winner, but the judges choice must have been difficult and there's plenty to be said for two critiques of consumerism: Rachel Pimm turns the rubber industry into a version of ‘the way things go’, and Jonathan Trayte's 'Shopper's Guide' is an astounding compendium of bronze and ceramic – but not, I think, rubber – food: what’s the use / value assessment of that? The Other Art Fair in Bloomsbury gives 130 unrepresented artists the chance to present their own work, independent of the gallery system. Gavin Turk guested entertainingly, and Alan Rankle, painter of corroded landscapes, was by a distance the most established (and expensive) artist to take part in the orthodox manner. A handful of others grabbed my attention: Lanee Bladbjerg, Barbara Nati, xxxx and the following three – all representational this time in the face of quite a lot of over-generic abstraction as well as plenty of dire figuration: Delphine Lebourgeois: The Swimming Cap, 2014 Giclée Print with hand-painted cap 67x41cm The spirit of Cananda’s Royal Art Lodge (Marcel Dzama et al) seems to coarse through the hauntingly precise scenarios of Delphine Lebourgeois. She’s as French as she sounds but has lived in London for a decade. Women with guns provide her favourite means of playing with power relations, and also between illustrative and fine art traditions... Anastasiya Lazurenko from Pearly Gates, 2011-15 Russian photographer Anastasiya Lazurenko has a naturally contrary, convincing casual style which reminded me of Boris Michhailov, and like him she records the weird characters around her with an attractive lack of judgment to make us see them differently through her. She included a sequnce dedicated to a 'charismatic fairy alien' who died of anorexia under the sex / drug / heaven title 'Pearly Gates' Rui Matsunago: Play Two Frog, acrylic and oil on board - 2012 15 x 9.5 cm Rui Matsunago’s small paintings are skewed versions of Japanese fairy tales which channel an entertaining animalism against gold backgrounds which set up unusual colour relationships. Frogs, representing the Rain Spirit, are particularly charaterful: these two seem to be making a dark cloud which promises plentiful precipitate - or is it paradoxical smoke? Gallery Day organiser Domo Baal opens her coal cellar for the occasion, this year featuring Mhairi Vari's installation London Gallery Day, which extends opening hours in an area centred on EC1 for the whole weekend, sets out to provide a handy means of visiting 22 listed galleries. It's thoroghly recommended, though not perfect: I’d already seen three of the shows, but found three of the others were closed, and failed to get to four of the remaining 16 in the time available. The standard is high including Emma Talbot at DomoBaal, Kate Terry at Dalla Rosa, Salvatore Arancio at the Contemporary Art Society, Maria Zhale at Arcade, Elizabeth Gossling at Tintype and Los Carpinteros at Parasol Unit as well as these three shows: The Symptom of Art at Cabinet Cabinet have found a particularly persuasive framework in which to showcase their holding of 60% of the life-sized figural tableaux made by Pierre Klossowski (1905-2001), who's better known for the drawings after which they're made. True, that’s to say only three out of five, though he’d been planning on fifteen had he lived longer. Anyway, the curious scenes which filled the imagination of Balthus’ brother have been categorised as ‘Pere-versions’ by psychoanalyst Dr Scott Von, and his several diagramatic representations of why – as shown alongside the sculptures - make suggestive sense. Johanna Billing: Pulheim Jam Session at Hollybush Gardens Swedish artist Johanna Billing has made a traffic jam soothing and entertaining. The citizens of Pullheim, an artificial city made up of twelve villages near Cologne which were administratively united in 1975, are shown to be pretty chilled out when caught in a tailback, contentedly eating, playing games and chatting. They do so against a surprisingly rural background, and to the sound of another kind of jam - the jazz piano of Keith Jarret at Cologne, also in 1975, as revisited here by the Swedish musician Edda Magnason. You won’t have had a more positive traffic jam experience! I mentioned this to some cynical Berliners I met later, and they thought it typical of the Rhinelanders to be unjustifiably upbeat. Tal R: Blinds, 2014-15 at Victoria Miro, Wharf Road Tal R found fame as a painter, but his decidedly original show Chimney School of Sculpture at Victoria Miro uses four sculptural elements. Downstairs are cheerfully colourful geometrically patterned chimneys made – rather impractically – of fabric; bronze and clay forms, most providing a glazed take on the Chinese tradition of the scholar’s rock; and , and bespoke sofas of some chromatic magnificence from which visitors are encouraged to contemplate the room. Upstairs a corridor has been constructed to run through the space, pointlessly apart from its containing an impressive variety of paintings and lightboxes all depicting closed pull-blinds, one image denying implied others. Sonia Delaunay: Bal Bullier, 1913 at Tate Modern Tate Modern is open late every Saturday: a good time to go, even if I’m a little puzzled by the overwhelmingly positive critical response to Sonia Delaunay's huge retrospective. True, it's enjoyable, and we shouldn’t dismiss the bulk of her work – as used to happen – because it’s spread across clothing and design rather than the painting in which she had her primary moment in 1910-14. I like this transitional painting of almost-abstarct tango dancers. But does her career as a whole really have the depth and meaningful development to make her a major figure?

It’s always daunting and somewhat confusing how, and whether we should approach huge changes both in society and personally. We’ve had many switches in thinking over the decades and have had to change direction for the benefit of the whole before now. Coal mining in Wales springs to mind and although hugely controversial at the time and massive job losses were incurred, the changes were made and Wales reinvented itself into an excellent IT hub, amongst other things. Not everyone believes in global warming but it’s surely undeniable that our planetary resources are being stretched to the max and we’re showing very few signs of slowing down the population growth, either, so it stands to reason something’s gotta give. Whether you agree with what many learned scientists say – or, like the interviewed meat industry representative believed: that we shouldn’t worry because someone, somewhere will come up with a clever solution – my question to you is: if you’re in a desert with limited water, isn’t it prudent to start rationing right away? If those scientists have got it wrong – after reducing our use on our undeniably limited planetary resources like oil and rainforests, and changing our diets to help reduce our footprints – we’ll still have those rich resources to fall back on in the future and we can always then readdress our diets. It seems to me the alternative of hurtling on without change could result in something more daunting. Good luck with your personal choices, however they manifest. I guess, in the end, it’s only the individual who can decide on how they choose to live, and where to spend and invest their money. Righteo, before I get onto the deeeelish delights this month, I want to announce the Christmas exhibition. It starts as always on 28th December at 6pm with our now famous street party. This year the exhibition is entitled 4 from 4, so we have four stunning works from four blinding artists, Peter Wileman, Ben Taffinder, Claire Henley and Hester Berry. I hope you can make it, but if not, all works will go live the day before (Friday 27th) online here, so make a date in your diary cos this baby is going to be a blinder! As for new work, our magnifique French impressionist, José Salvaggio sent down two astonishing new piece this month and they’re now live on his page… Formidable! The Hig kicked it out the ballpark last week with this brand new painting of Porthcurnick. Anyone who’s walked down from the car park to the Hidden Hut will know this view well! You can see this and more of Stephen Higton‘s fab work here. Ben Taffinder sent over a boomtastic painting of Charlestown near St Austell. Poldark fans will rejoice as I suspect this scene will be familiar to them all. The artist’s artist, Neil Bolton painted a brand new online-only exclusive for us this month and social media went cock-a-hoop over it. I honestly thought it would break the interweb! Still, despite that, it’s there in all its finery for you to view and buy still. Our resident watercolourist, John Hopkins, pinged over two astonishing works of Portscatho village. If one of those doesn’t sell in the next few days, I’ll be shivered in me timbers! And if all that wasn’t enough for ya, the inimitable Mike Hindle only went and swannied in with three stonkers, right off the easel. Colour doesn’t get much more exciting than this, so pop over to his page a feast yer eyes on those munchkins, whydon’tcha? Hope to see you over Chrimbles but if not, you know where we are for that gift. Thanks again soooo much for making 2019 another incredible record year. I am truly humbled. Till then, have a cracking celebrations and here’s to a slightly less rambunctious 2020, eh? ;0-) Mark David Hatwood FRSA November 2019 No matter how empathetic one is, conflict in life is inevitable. Just because we love each other, doesn’t mean to say we love the same things, so there will be times we fall out, even with the best of friends. How then to extend and olive branch when discord has been set and both sides find it hard to back down? If it’s a relatively recent and insignificant disagreement, something simple like offering to make the other a drink may suffice; something unrelated, to show you’re open to breaking the deadlock… read more.

The Seattle-based tour de force has shattered the glass barricade that once stood as the dividing wall between the world of ballet and the realm of modern dance, ushering in a new era of collaboration and artistry. Whim W’him’s sold-out performances at On the Boards this past weekend packed an intoxicating punch of sound, light and movement. The triple bill featured Wevers previous works, X-Stasis (PNB’s Choreographer’s Showcase 2006) and Fragments (Spectrum Dance Theatre 2007), as well as the world premiere of 3 Seasons, Wevers first major collaborative effort. X-Stasis X-Stasis is comprised of 5 couples making a unique statement about their world and their relationship to one another. Standouts from this performance include Jonathan Poretta and Lucien Postlewaite’s pas de deux which sizzled with poetic tension. Their execution was both complimentary and contradictory; a raw, edgy rendition of the proverbial yin and yang. Whim W'Him's X-Stasis, Jonathan Poretta & Lucien Postlewaite Chalnessa Eames dazzled in a delightful piece that felt a bit like an avant-garde rendition of Coppelia. Let’s just say her partner, the helpless mannequin, was no match for her seductive charms! Kaori Nakamura and guest artist, Karel Cruz (PNB Principal Dancer) were utterly spectacular. Their pairing was exuberant, crisp and well-balanced; the perfect blend of power, delicacy and joy. Fragments begins with a sweeping aria playfully mimicked by an amusing pair of friends. Kelly Ann Barton’s (Spectrum Dance Theater) and Vincent Lopez’s movements were light, fluttering, and beautifully in sync. Together they encompassed all that is childlike and well--whimsical, from their “twittering” hip rolls, to their playful dashing about the stage. Whim W'Him's Fragments Following the playful antics, Vincent Lopez gave a commanding solo performance as a tortured soul, longing and yearning to be free. Moving effortlessly through a series of well-crafted poses, Lopez is transformed into a living sculpture, relishing in its temporary freedom. Costumes by Christine Joly de Lotbiniere provided a delicious hint of Baroque flair, while Michael Mazzola’s thoughtful lighting cast the entire piece in a distinct, Renaissance glow. Last but not least, was 3 Seasons. Never have I seen such a decisive take on our modern world that fused together the elements of style, wit, humor and hope so beautifully. In fact, I have a feeling that this piece will serve as the springboard by which all other collaborative efforts will be judged, and provide Whim W’him with a prominent position in the annals of dance history. The musical score consists of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons paired with a live corresponding movement by Byron Au Yong, which was nothing short of perfection. The tinkling of a toy piano, the hum of the violin and gentle percussion created a fun, exciting, youthful energy. Designer Michael Cepress’ vision of pairing vibrant splashes of red on ruddy, human earth tone canvasses provided the perfect backdrop for this piece. The use of his re-designed sculptural collars, wire hanger skirts, and sullied leotards made for a stunning artistic display. Jim Kent’s portrayal of the covetousness of human nature was thrilling. The object of his desire changes with whatever is put before him; a pillow, a lamp, a keyboard to finally a bird cage, which has to be placed on his head because there’s no more room in his hands. Kent—like society itself—is never content with what he already has, and is continuously seeking, grasping, and vying for more. The act was played for humor which the audience responded with more than a few “been there, done that” laughs. Kaori Nakamura is used, abused and finally discarded and yet—she still manages to come out looking like the victor. Her stage presence leaves its own indelible mark of beauty behind. Chalnessa Eames was effervescent and sensual. Vincent Lopez was completely brilliant and charming. Jonathan Poretta and Lucien Postlewaite were riveting, powerful, dominating, and fierce. Ty Alexander Cheng and Kylie Lewallen were saucy, flirty and breathtaking. Their endless kiss reminded me of a pair of butterflies; lips locked with wings (arms) continually unfurling yet never intertwining. Hannah Lagerway and Lucien Postlewaite writhed about in geometric splendor. I was impressed with Postlewaite’s skillful control and Lagerway’s incredible range. Indeed, her presence within this company is the icing on the cake. With everything this company has going for it—excellent dancers, respected Artistic Director, dedicated fan base, and a growing list of collaborators—Whim W’him stands poised on the edge of a divine precipice, ready to be launched into the stratosphere. Congratulations to you, Mr. Wevers and to your talented team of artists. Viva Whim W’him! by Denise Opper Media Relations: Vala Dancewear / Class Act Tutu All photos © LaVie Photography.

But The Creative Habit goes beyond the relative scope of creative applications. Author and world famous choreographer, Twyla Tharp walks readers through the creative process step-by-step, revealing once and for all, that creative spark that lies deep within us all... Tharp believes that creativity isn’t just for the special or gifted artist but rather “It’s for businesspeople looking to close a sale; it’s for engineers trying to solve a problem; it’s for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.” (Quote: The Creative Habit Chapter 1.) Tharp also repeatedly states that creativity is “augmented by routine and habit.” To this end, The Creative Habit provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the world’s most influential people, both in and out of the dance world. Readers are encouraged to delve deeper into the topic by answering several questions at the end of each chapter. These questions aren’t simply random or arbitrary, but are rather carefully constructed—just as one of Twyla’s own works – to teach readers how to apply the creative habit to their daily lives. Personal Thoughts & Opinions While reading this book, I became delightfully aware at just how brilliant Ms. Tharp truly is. She’s not only a supremely talented dancer/choreographer, but is also a highly educated, deeply feeling, inherently complex, yet surprisingly simple woman. Her insights, mannerisms, and powerful work ethic are inspirational and challenging at the same time. The Creative Habit should be considered the required textbook for anyone who is willing to pursue excellence in all of their personal, business, educational, and artistic pursuits. 2 Item(s)

New study brings important insights into the design of texts Whether it’s a newspaper article, a contract or a menu: When texts are translated according to the rules of “Easy Language”, they all look the same in the end. But not only the content, but also the design follows clear rules. A new study now answers the question of whether text design contributes to comprehensibility. Text design is the field of activity surrounding the structuring and design of a text. The study was conducted by Sabina Sieghart. The design researcher investigated the question of how macrotypography influences the comprehensibility of a text. Macrotypography is the overall visual impression of a text. This includes, for example: • Font size • Use of images, tables or graphic elements such as lines, boxes, etc. • Arrangement of elements on the page This creates a different look for different types of text: A novel differs in content and appearance from a menu. The same applies to letters of application, recipes, mails or newspaper articles. Does a uniform text design for texts in "plain language" contribute to comprehensibility? Light language” is a specific form of easily understandable language. You can find more detailed information on the terms here. With “plain language” there are clear guidelines that strongly harmonise and standardise the design of the various texts. Thus, a contract is no longer visually different from a social media post. Here you can see 3 examples of uniform text design: To find out how this affects comprehensibility, the study explores 3 questions: 1. Does the target group for “Easy Language” use typographic features to understand a text? 2. Can the target group for “Easy Language” recognise different types of text? 3. Which layout supports text comprehension better: “Easy Language” or conventional layout? 38 people took part in the study. They all cannot read well and belong to the target group for “Easy Language”. Result: Prior graphic knowledge helps with text comprehension The exciting result of the study: The uniform design of “plain language” texts does not contribute to comprehensibility. The participants in the studies used their previous graphic knowledge to read texts. The design of the texts gives readers the opportunity to draw conclusions about the content. Texts in “Easy Language” lack this additional graphic information. It is more difficult to classify the text. “The target group with reading difficulties needs an optimal design for their reading materials. The study clearly shows that test sheets that were available in two design variants were each better recognised in the conventional design.” Sabina Sieghart, Design researcher Portraitfoto von Designforscherin Sabina Sieghart - Studie zu Textgestaltung und Verständlichkeit Text design: This is how capito does it! The fact that texts in easy-to-understand language have a certain appearance is neither surprising nor a bad thing. Unlike conventional texts in “Easy Language”, however, we attach great importance to consciously allowing differences to exist in texts. The fact that an easy-to-understand legal text is visibly different from an invitation to an event in easy language is something we want. We want the sender, purpose and aim of a text to be quickly understood. Differences in design contribute significantly to this. The fact that precisely these differences increase comprehensibility has now been proven for the first time by the study. Are you surprised by the results of the study?

New Kyoto outlet set inside 100-year-old townhouse Tatami mats, silk cushions, a Japanese garden…Starbucks’ new Kyoto coffeehouse has swapped the usual glass-and-metal facades for a renovated 100-year-old wooden Japanese townhouse. Opened on June 30 in Higashiyama — one of the city’s best-preserved historic districts — the cafe feels like it’s been locked inside a Meiji-era time capsule. Thanks to its vernacular architecture and tiled roof, the coffee house blends in amongst the neighboring 19th-century Japanese houses and shrines. Even the signage is subtle — a deep teal logo graces the traditional “noren” door curtains, but otherwise, the cafe is unmarked. “Walking through the noren at the entrance and venturing inside, we want customers to experience a feeling of being inside a traditional Kyoto machiya wooden townhouse,” Takafumi Minaguchi, CEO of Starbucks Coffee Japan, tells CNN. “As this store is in an area of great cultural significance, we feel a responsibility to be the stewards of the building’s traditional architecture and ensure that it remains an integral part of its historic neighborhood for many years to come.” Kyoto’s new Starbucks Tallying up more than 26,000 stores worldwide across 75 countries — 1,260 of which are in Japan — the American coffeehouse chain is the largest in the world. The brand already has 26 other Starbucks in Kyoto, but this one stands out — or rather, fits in, depending how you look at it. As you pass under the noren at Starbucks Kyoto Ninei-zaka Yasaka Chayate, a traditional Japanese garden provides a zen feel to the ground floor space. Upstairs, three more rooms provide tatami mat seating and a mix of traditional details — from hanging scrolls on the walls to traditional silk cushions, made with kimono fabric from Kyoto’s Tango region. Following Japanese tradition, visitors are asked to take off their shoes before settling in for a coffee. Cafe culture Looking around the world, such concept cafes aren’t new to the Seattle-based coffee chain. Cafes like Starbucks Dazaifu, in the southwestern port city of Fukuoka, Japan, come to mind. Designed by Japanese architecture firm Kengo Kuma and Associates, the cafe is located in a historic pedestrian street that leads to the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, a major national shrine welcoming about 2 million visitors every year. The coffee shop is set inside a traditional two-story shophouse, with a striking cedarwood installation made up of 2,000 interlaced pieces that seem to float in mid-air. On the other side of the world, “The Bank” made waves when it opened in Amsterdam’s central Rembrandtplein Square in 2012. Built inside a historic bank vault, the concept cafe is part coffee house, part laboratory, juxtaposing 1920s marble floors with avant-garde art installations. It’s also the only Starbucks to feature an on-site bakery and an experimental subterranean lair — formerly the vault — where small-batch coffees are brewed. The experimentation continues with poetry reading nights, live music and original artwork from local artisans — think repurposed oak benches, hanging sculptures and wall murals.

The speakers focused on two historic buildings that are also OSD pilot green renovation projects. One, the ACS Bellevue by McKim, Meade, and White, is on the National Historic Register. The other, the old Lion House at the Bronx Zoo, is a New York City Landmark, which will achieve at least LEED Silver and perhaps Gold. The New York City Department of Design and Construction is “bringing together the two most powerful movements in architecture of the past generation: preservation and sustainability,” according to John Krieble and Laurie Kerr at DDC. DDC is a city’s mayoral agency in charge of much of the city’s architecture including all building types that the city owns, excluding schools, hospitals, and water treatment plants. The agency has a $1 billion capital construction budget, one-third of the city’s structure budget. In 1997, DDC added the Office of Sustainable Design, a consortium of professionals, and created the High Performance Building Guidelines. DDC has used the guidelines for 21 pilot projects at this point, worth $800 million of construction. DDC then further studies the lessons learned from these pilot projects are used to implement agency wide practices that improve the environmental sensitivity of buildings at no extra cost. (More information on the guidelines can be found at DDC’s home page.) John Krieble and Laurie Kerr highlighted four reasons the City should green historic buildings. • 1. Most buildings in NYC are old and therefore to have an impact on the built environment, older buildings must be included. New building comprise only one to two percent of the building stock. Most of DDC’s work is renovation. The shells of buildings can lost longer than 300 years, while other building materials will change over time. • 2. Using older and historic buildings, as opposed to construction new buildings, reduces environmental impacts. Over 60 percent of NY’s solid waste is from construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which is greater than in most places due to the old building stock. The City now ships its waste to Pennsylvania and Virginia. The fewer the buildings that are torn down, the less C&D waste is routed to landfills. • 3. Older buildings tend to be higher quality buildings, due to aesthetics and intelligence of design. The detailing that adorns these buildings is too expensive to do today. The high value of construction is hard to repeat, as well. They were built by Old World, skilled craftsman from Europe. • 4. Historic buildings have embodied knowledge. These buildings preceded the era of artificial light and mechanical cooling. We can learn from these buildings how to keep buildings cool and use the sun for lighting. The shape of the buildings, U, T, and L-shaped buildings, enables natural light to penetrate the narrow floors. Artificial lighting consumes between 30-50 percent of a building’s energy. Improving natural light penetration could significantly reduce this consumption. The presenters went into great detail about two of their green historic building projects with the audience: ACS Bellevue in Manhattan and the Lions House in the Bronx. The ACS Bellevue, located at 29th and 1st Avenue, was once a morgue. It was built with narrow floor plans for extensive daylighting deep into the floors. In addition to daylighting, the renovation to adaptively reuse the building as a new children’s center had many sustainable features. By using an existing building, the development is not consuming the embodied energy from new resources. It preserves the aesthetics and historic value of the building while avoiding demolition debris and impacts related to construction. The renovation included the use of low VOC paints to avoid negatively impacting indoor air quality and hard floors to reduce the accumulation of dust, mold, and the toxic off-gassing of carpets. Other measures include open offices at perimeter for daylight penetration, modular electric chillers, carbon dioxide sensors, and a closed loop recovery system heated by steam. The Lions House at the Bronx Zoo was built in 1903. This heavily ornamented building was part of a group of buildings at Astor Court, built between 1899 and 1920 that epitomized the Daniel Burnhham’s City Beautiful Movement. The present renovation will allow the building to be used for a Madagascar exhibit. The renovated Lion’s Den is expected to result in a 54 percent energy savings and attain a silver or gold LEED rating. Speaker Bios: John Krieble is a NYS registered architect.

Two of the modes — shutter priority (often S or Tv) and aperture priority (often A or Av) — are becoming increasingly obsolete. Cameras have changed, and so has how we use them, and manufacturers need to keep up. Every Fuji shooter will now be screaming at their screens in frustration, and yes, Fuji cameras have always been ahead of the game, not simply in terms of usability, but in mystically anticipating a while back that ISO would not always be fixed for a minimum of 24 or 36 exposures. Fuji photographers wanting to shoot at a specific aperture while letting their camera calculate the exposure simply dial that aperture in — leaving their shutter and ISO settings on auto — and get on with the job. If they suddenly want a specific shutter speed as well, they dial that in and continue to let the camera choose the exposure, thanks to auto ISO. Sliding between different priority modes is seamless, as if these “modes” don’t exist. Instead, the mindset is reversed: instead of deciding which variable is given “priority,” you are choosing which ones to take back from the camera’s automation. For anyone trying to learn digital photography, this surely makes a lot more sense, and given that cameras are now incredibly sophisticated when it comes to metering, it’s not just beginners who can take advantage. In contrast to Fuji, almost every other manufacturer is stuck with a system that is outdated. As the photography world slowly became accustomed to digital, auto ISO took a little while to appear, becoming much more useful when the ability to set a minimum shutter speed was introduced. As someone who once shot almost exclusively in manual mode, using auto ISO has been something of a revelation. I now use it as part of manual mode (can you still call it “manual” if the camera is choosing the exposure?) when shooting events or in aperture priority when photographing people. If you’re not sure of the advantages, check out these two articles: Why Auto ISO and Minimum Shutter Speed Will Change the Way You Shoot, and How to Start Using Aperture Priority. A Brief History Lesson Both released in 2009, the Canon 1D Mark IV and the original Canon 7D were among the first to give photographers the option of allowing the camera to choose the ISO, but it’s possible that Pentax was one step ahead of them. In 2006, Pentax released the K10D and sneaked in a new setting that may have seemed a little bizarre back then, but now makes perfect sense: TAv. This blended shutter and aperture priority, but still left the camera to decide the exposure — through auto ISO. (Hat tip to Fstoppers community member John Cavan for this delightful little nugget of information.) Today, 20 years after Canon released its first digital SLR in the shape of the D30, the vast majority of cameras still haven’t properly managed to accommodate the arrival of ISO as something that is as important as shutter speed and aperture when it comes to creating an image. However, there are signs that things are beginning to change. Last year, Canon released the EOS R and sneaked in a feature that hasn’t drawn a huge amount of attention: Fv. Flexible Priority Auto Exposure EOS R owners reading this article will already have noticed that Canon made some changes in how this camera is controlled. And notably, in the list of modes that the R presents you with when choosing your settings, Fv is listed second after full automation. Humorously dubbed “Fuji Verbatim” by photographer and YouTuber Omar Gonzalez, this “flexible priority auto exposure” mode (if you have a better idea for the name, leave a comment below) goes some way to replicating the mindset (though not the dials) of choosing the settings on, say, a Fuji X-T3. Your three variables — shutter speed, aperture, and ISO — are all set to automatic until you decide to override one of them. Returning a variable to automatic can be achieved at the touch of a button. For example, on my Sony a7 III, if I choose to switch out of auto ISO and set it manually, to go back to auto ISO, I have to scroll all the way past ISO 50 to “AUTO.” On the EOS R, returning it to auto can be done with a single button press. Imagine yourself as a relative newcomer to photography, in your backyard, attempting to capture the family dog. If it's sitting in front of you, Fv with everything on auto will be fine. If you’ve heard about wide apertures, you might even choose to set the aperture to f/4, the widest on your RF 24-105mm f/4L kit lens. If the dog suddenly starts chasing the kids around the garden, you’ll want to freeze that movement, so with one click, you put the aperture back to auto and then scroll to set the shutter speed to 1/1000th of a second. Easy. Anyone who has taught photography will appreciate how much easier it is to explain this to a beginner. Being able to say “this will give you control over the aperture” is a lot simpler than saying “this will give you control over the aperture but at the same time check what this ISO thing is doing and if it’s set to a number like 400 or 800, be sure to scroll past all of those numbers until you get to auto.” This also gets past the confusion of having a mode called "manual" where one of the variables — i.e., ISO — can be set to auto. Of course, this is a subtle point, but it's another sign that the traditional approach to operating a camera is stuck in the past. This isn’t a shift in mindset and dials that only affects beginners, however. On my Sony a7 III, I rarely use anything other than the two stored settings set up on my mode dial. The first is set for shooting events where I’m capturing fast, often unpredictable movements with greatly varying amounts of light entering the lens. This means manual mode but with auto ISO, an aperture of f/5.6, and the shutter speed dialed to 1/1000th. From there, I can tweak, depending on what’s happening in front of me. (If I’m choreographing action myself, I’ll shoot fully manual, as I will have the time to keep checking my histogram and tweak my ISO myself. At an event, it’s better to let the camera do the decision-making.) My second stored setup is ready for shooting candid portraits: aperture priority with auto ISO, the aperture set to its widest for any given lens, and the minimum shutter speed set to 1/250th of a second — a variable that is easily tweaked by having this quickly changed via a custom key. With these two saved modes as my foundation, I can usually then adjust to a wide range of situations. In a sense, I'm still using aperture priority, but not as it was originally intended. The workarounds are effective, but as Canon has suggested with its new Fv mode, there might be better ways of approaching the design of a camera's controls, means that properly accommodate the fact that ISO is no longer stuck until you change your roll of film. What Do You Think? Do priority modes need a complete overhaul? Should manufacturers put some energy into rethinking how we operate our cameras? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Log in or register to post comments Previous comments While "Aperture and Shutter Priority Modes Are Dead" may be a bit of an overstatement; I agree completely with the author! Tv - manual speed, auto aperture and maybe auto ISO (depending on camera and settings) Av - manual aperture, auto speed and maybe auto ISO (depending on camera and settings) M - manual speed, manual aperture and maybe auto ISO (depending on camera and settings) It's messy! It's not rocket science or even difficult to get your head around (unless you are a beginner); just messey. (And we should be encouraging beginners - right?) So I think what the author is suggesting that a simple on/off for auto/manual on those three settings (speed, aperture and ISO) would be a lot more readable and obvious as to what it means. I think the original idea of Tv and Av with optional auto ISO was to get as much versatility from the physical dial on the top of the camera but with modern touch displays and assignable buttons this is no longer an issue. Personally I would like to see three auto/manual toggle switches - ideally physical but a quick access screen would be fine to. Aperture "mode" courtesy of Nikon FE2, circa 1983. Well worth remembering. It is great that Fujifilm is continuing with the simplest and most flexible UI available for system cameras. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nikon_FE2_2.jpg First, don't you mean, “shutter mode”, as in, “shutter priority”? (Pentax was first with TTL Aperture Priority mode in 1971). Second, don't you mean Pentax, with the KA mount, (on the “Program-A” camera, known as the “Super Program” camera in the USA), in 1983? You are welcome. Aperture priority and i are pretty good friends you use AUTO ISO and want to get rid of Aperture priority? I owned a Fuji XT2 for a few years, and it did not feel that they where ahead of game: - Shutter dial full stop only (there are ways around it, but that is not this article’s point) - No user modes (I have very specialized settings) Fuji’s best camera the GFX 100 doesn’t have the shutter dial for a reason. Well I have to hand it to Andy. 201 comments in 5 days with this article seeming to be the most read on F Stoppers. Proof that Click-Bait works. Like a tabloid it's cheap and effective at the sake of credibility. In the end it's just his opinion and a hyped up eye catching title. I'm sure he's laughing his ass off at all of us clicking away. How about we stop clicking on articles with titles like this instead of complaining about them. I'm going to stop. Are you? Informative update. I would prefer to leave it as it is. I see no real reason to change anything. If it ain't broke, and it isn't, leave things alone. Just my .02 cents! If exposure remains the same it would make sense to drop S & A modes for something smarter. These days we can easily chimp the results and do the necessary adjustments. Being a manual exposure shooter myself I wouldn't give up on A or S yet since there are specific times these are useful. Sports and portraits. S- making sure the speed doesn't drop to freeze action using ISO to compensate for sudden cloud cover drop in lighting. A- making sure I get the best out of the f1.4 aperture in unpredictable lighting. Auto ISO is a great complement to A & S. Don't think they're going to be omitted anytime soon. If Fuji drops S & A modes, doesn't matter to me. I don't shoot Fuji. Oh, people keep mentioning Pentax, but that name makes posts invisible. 😉😄😁 I thought this was an April fools joke, then remembered its January I began my journey in photography using the Nikon F in 1972, using it until I went digital in 2008 with the D700. While I now have an assortment of newer Nikon cameras, the fact is that my favorite is the Df model, which is a lot like the Nikon F model in many ways. While it provides dials to manually set ISO, f/stop, and shutter speed - on the far right on top is the MASP dial too. Is it me or does photography generate way more than it’s fair share of bollocks? It's not you. It comes second to politics in bollocks. It's fair share would be two, no? This merely makes the exposure decisions made by the camera in video mode available for stills. Having grown up with film, my personal preference is to choose an ISO, which lets me decide how much noise I want to allow. If unable to reconcile shutter and aperture, to get the effect I want, I use lights! Fv setting is unnecessary for me, but that's why they make both Fords and Chevys. I don't know any two photographers who go about their creative process in exactly the same way.... so, whatever works for you is fine with me.

They’ve been there since last weekend resting and feeding and growing. But they are by no means ready to fly. Sometimes they scream at me: “Hey you, get over here and work on me!” “Don’t you wanna get a little creative?” “Come on! Stop everything else. And start painting.” “Can’t you finish what you start?” But mostly, they whisper to me ever so sweetly: “It’s ok… you’re doing your best.” “We’ll be here when you’re ready for us.” “You’re doing so many good things right now. We’ll wait.” “Thank you for making us. We wouldn’t even exist without you.” And then they confide in me… “We’re in no rush. We are so happy to be resting and at peace.” So I am reporting to you, darling readers, and I’ve made peace with it in my mind, that the major studio time that I told you was coming, has come and gone. And I have twelve half-sort-of-started caterpillar paintings to show for it. They are farther along than the blank panels you see above. But they are by no means ready to share with you. So I am faced with the great unknown. What to tell you? What to make this post about now that we are already this far into it? The truth. I promised this to you in my very first post, I just didn’t think it would be happening so soon. My creative process is taking a little longer this time. I need to listen to the lessons from my own writing and artwork. To have the faith to “just see.” Another lesson? Balance really is beautiful. And I am proud of myself for not just writing that and painting that and selling cards that say that… but I believe that. And I’ve had a remarkably balanced few weekends. I joined a new gym. I’ve had some extra-special quality time with my husband. I even had a day-long business and budget meeting for Said The Butterfly. These things are so important. Almost as important as the paintings themselves are the managing the details that allow me to make them, sell them and share them with the world. I even took two naps and got a mani and pedi. I know! Indulgent and amazing. I also think of my frustrated self this time about four years ago. I hadn’t painted or written one thing in what felt like forever. I confided in Gemma like I always did and she reassured me with clarity and brilliance like she always did. “You’re living it,” she said. “When you’re ready, you’ll make a million paintings and write a million books. Right now, darling, you are living it.” * Gemma made everything make sense. Everything was exactly as it should be. I can’t wait to share with you completed works of art that emerge from these resting caterpillars. Until then, let’s have the faith to listen to the message from the mellow tree. Let’s remember that balance really is beautiful. Let’s live it. Good things, Melissa *Please note it’s been a long time since I’ve spoken in person to my dear friend Gemma Taccogna. She passed away in May of 2007, the day before her 84th birthday. Any attempt I make to quote her on this blog is the essence of these beautiful memories that I am so grateful for. “You’re living it” is an exact quote that I will never forget. The rest is the essence of what followed. We Have A Winner! We have so many reasons to celebrate! First of all, thank you everyone for all of your wonderful emails about my official launch of the Said The Butterfly website and this very blog, Good Things Darling. The Facebook fan page has been there since April and it’s been encouraging to share developments baby step by baby step. The community is growing and it’s just plain awesome. For me, it’s like the sunshine in the quote that inspired Said The Butterfly from the very beginning. I decided it was time to celebrate with a surprise giveaway. Tonight was the drawing. I thought it would be much more special and fun if I shared it with you so here’s how it all went down. First, I wrote every single one of Said The Butterfly’s 149 Facebook fans names on a little piece of paper. I had a grateful moment with each of you as I used my extra-special LePen to write your name in cursive on scrap paper. What better “hat” to draw from than this head vase by Gemma? This was the very first piece I bought when I started collecting Gemma’s work. I have so many now I’ve lost count. One of these days I’ll share my whole collection. For now, I thought it was the perfect way to kickoff the fun. I can just hear Gemma proclaiming it a “parteeee!” Then I decided I could shuffle all the names better if they were in a bowl. So I shook it up and down like popcorn to mix up all the possible winners. Did you feel yourself with the sudden inclination to jump up and down? If so, now you know why. Then I put all the names back in the Gemma head vase… And drew the winner. Congratulations to you, Elise Palinkas. You are now the winner of your pick of any 5 Said The Butterfly cards. Take your pick. Let me know which 5 you’d like and I will mail them to you. As promised, we’ll do this again TWICE when we reach 200 fans on Facebook. Tell your friends and let’s all get in on the creativity and the good times together. I’m looking forward to some major studio time this weekend and I can’t wait to share some works in progress with you. Stay tuned darling readers. Until then, good things to you. Melissa The World Beyond The Painting In my last post, you saw my most recent painting: Dream of the Sunrise Diver. What you didn’t see is the world that existed beyond the painting. The tubes of paint and the kitchen-table-turned-ideal-studio space that, to me, in moments of total awareness and appreciation, became just as colorful and inspiring as the painting itself. I knew this was happening as it happened and I took a ton of photos of the still lifes that created themselves as I worked. Here are a few of my favorites: If you’re new to Good Things Darling, I’d love you to check out my first post, a letter to you darling readers. And my second post, ten reasons to subscribe to this very blog. That’s all for now, darlings. Have a wonderful evening, wherever you are. I hope you notice the natural compositions in your world. I hope I do too. Good things, Melissa

In 2005, she published a memoir of sorts with the self-mythologizing title Strangeland, and she has also taken to writing her own weekly column in an English newspaper, The Independent. Just days before her November opening at Lehmann Maupin, her entry from abroad bore the subtitle “When I’m miles from home I sometimes have a clear view—and God, my life’s a mess.” The refrain is a familiar one from this artist who came to prominence during the ’90s YBA explosion. • Marina Abramovic SITTING SQUARELY BETWEEN Jack Nicholson’s five and Bartók’s ten, Marina Abramovic’s Seven Easy Pieces occasioned a week of nightly pilgrimages to New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum last November. There she presented a different performance each evening, beginning at 5 PM and culminating at midnight. Yet the performances, save for the final two, weren’t actually her own—at least, not in the conventional sense. Rather, the artist had chosen five works from the 1960s and ’70s that she deemed pivotal (and for which she pointedly obtained permissions and agreed to pay copyright fees). These • Mary Kelly A diverse group of people—mostly, but not all, women—link arms in sodality to form a human barricade. They are clad in the sort of androgynous late-’60s and early-’70s accoutrements that now boast a certain second-generation vogue. Low-slung belted pants and peasant tunics abound, though there’s not a skirt in sight. The proceedings have a discernible gravity: One woman’s mouth is open in a yell while her associates stand by stoically. A sign held by another of the participants sets the scene: UNITE FOR WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION, its hand-lettered words read, accompanied by three vehement slashes of • Laurie Anderson Arguably the most spectacular cinematic dream sequence of all time, Salvador Dalí’s contribution to Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound (1945) featured a Surrealist stage set par excellence. Replete with a hallucinogenic landscape, it included morphing objects, a faceless man, and—above all—lots and lots of enormous, blinking, staring eyes. Dalí seems to contend that in dreams, despite—or perhaps because of—our eyes being closed, ocularity takes on a heightened, anxious role: We are able to see things normally deemed invisible or impossible. Most disturbingly, we often see ourselves • John McCracken It’s a truism that the simplest problems are the toughest to crack, and a question posed some forty years ago by the artist John McCracken is no exception: “If a piece is blue, what color is the space around it?” Scrawled into the pages of a notebook, the riddle has a slightly Wittgensteinian flavor. (It was the author of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1921] who wrote, “This space I can imagine as empty, but I cannot imagine the thing without the space.”) Yet McCracken has spent decades pondering relationships between things and the spaces they inhabit, less as a purely cerebral exercise and • William Eggleston “Avoid prettiness—the word looks much like pettiness, and there is but little difference between them.” With these words, Peter Henry Emerson raged against fluffy concoctions of sublimity and romance in his 1889 treatise Naturalistic Photography for Students of the Art, which made the case that some photography should be accorded artistic (rather than scientific or commercial) status. While there’s now little question as to the medium’s creative viability, one need only reflect on the career of William Eggleston, whose landmark exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1976 unmistakably marked • Sophie Calle There’s nothing in the world like the pain that accompanies the end of a great love affair. In his Fragments d’un discours amoureux (A Lover’s Discourse, 1977), Roland Barthes isolates the way in which this piercing sorrow greets the spurned subject most cruelly in the blurry, semiconscious moments when he or she is roused from sleep. Making reference to the impotent protagonist of Stendhal’s Armance (1827), Barthes lists various manifestations of this unwelcome, if banal, daily return to suffering: “Modes of waking: sad, wracked (with tenderness), affectless, innocent, panic-stricken (Octave • Rosemarie Trockel COGITO, ERGO SUM. So reads a 1988 machine-knit wool-on-linen picture by Rosemarie Trockel, stitched in a rendition of childish cursive. The artist’s appropriation of Descartes’s famous dictum unravels its linear logic, recasting the rational subject as dreamy doodler. For the past twenty-odd years, Trockel has similarly undermined hallowed ideologies and confused recourse to easy meaning, employing sculpture, installation, drawing, and video. This comprehensive survey—which includes 131 works and is accompanied by a catalogue with essays by Silvia Eiblmayr, Gregory • Tracy + the Plastics IT WAS UNCLEAR just when the show officially started. Nikki was the first band member to arrive. While the audience got settled, she was busy alternately drinking from a teacup and attempting the apparently vexing art of getting both arms into her jacket. Eventually Tracy and Cola showed up, visibly peeved and wanting to know why Nikki had missed band practice earlier in the day. She’d been practicing, Nikki replied a little haughtily: busy “practicing drinking tea like a lesbian,” “practicing putting on my coat like a lesbian,” “practicing standing next to a stranger like a lesbian.” The list • Rachel Feinstein The announcement for Rachel Feinstein’s second solo exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery featured neither the artist’s trademark brummagem-Baroque sculptures nor her lesser-known paintings. Rather, the oversize folded mailer reproduced a photograph that, though not included in the show, clearly informed it. A very old woman, wearing a pristine fur coat and enormous, lilac-tinted, bug-eye shades beams at us. Her getup is impeccable: A crisp white cuff peeks from beneath the fur, and she sports an enormous ring with a squarish aqua gem that covers the breadth of two fingers. Dark red lipstick • Mary Heilmann Bertolt Brecht was no fan of abstraction. Worthless as a radical political tool, non-figurative art was, in the Marxist playwright’s eyes, little more than aesthetic scaffolding supporting upper-class pleasures. An abstract composition might as well be a blank screen for psychological projection, eliciting unearned emotional responses. “You paint . . . an indeterminate red; and some cry at the sight of this indeterminate red because they think of a rose, and others because they think of a child lacerated by bombs and streaming with blood,” Brecht wrote in his Notebooks (1935–39). And yet, while • Paul McCarthy Too often referred to simply as “the ketchup guy,” Paul McCarthy has, over some three and a half decades, constructed a complicated, multifaceted oeuvre. By testing the limits of sculpture, painting, and performance, he inaugurated a strain of West Coast art-making deeply rooted in the messy terrain of abjection and cultural critique. McCarthy’s appearance in the vast Haus der Kunst marks his largest European appearance to date; in addition to two new installations focused on cowboys and pirates, the exhibition includes more than one hundred videos, drawings, and

It almost seems to be having a conversation with the owner of the winery, until it finally dives down into the depths of the hillside – only to reappear on a wine bottle. A curious story? It’s a true story – in a way. Jana Kokrhanek, CEO of Luxoro, can tell us all about it. Learn more about Barolo Balena, and why it’s not just about a whale and a wine but mostly about design. The Langhe in the northern Italian region of Piedmont is a landscape for connoisseurs. This is where the Slow Food movement began. The town of Alba and its famous white truffles are well known. And of course there’s Barolo, a small place with a big name. It was the inspiration for the wine that the people here make from the Nebbiolo grape variety, vintners like Michele Chiarlo and his sons. It’s a landscape where stories grow, like the one that Jana Kokrhanek told us. Long before there were vineyards here, the entire region was covered by a sea. In one of these vineyards, the fossilized remains of a prehistoric whale were discovered in the autumn of 1993. It was precisely this discovery that triggered a collaboration that ultimately resulted in an extraordinary design project. At its heart: Barolo Balena, the whale in the vineyard. But see for yourself... How do designers come up with an idea like that? What was it that drove Kokrhanek to collaborate with winemakers in the first place? And why Michele Chiarlo? To understand requires some background. Luxoro has been KURZ’s exclusive representative in Italy for over 50 years. The finishing and decoration of products, especially with gold embossing foils for wine labels, make up a substantial part of Luxoro’s business. It’s a very comfortable situation, but Kokrhanek often noticed that something wasn’t right when she looked at wine shelves. Many labels looked very similar, and they didn’t answer the question of why you should reach for this or that wine in particular. The more she thought about it, the more questions she had: Who’s responsible for “more attractive” labels: vintners, designers, or retailers? Who even defines the aesthetic factor? After all, isn't it just about the contents, in other words, the wine, and not about a piece of paper on the bottle? Or should you show everyone involved what’s possible with an extraordinary label? Shouldn’t you spark enthusiasm and motivation, build trust, and tell stories? It sounds like a lot of work – and who should be doing it? It turned out to be even more work than imagined. But paradoxically, the solution emerged almost by itself – thanks to consistent market cultivation, good customer contacts, a lot of curiosity, many appointments, and what today is probably called a high-functioning CRM: good old-fashioned talking to each other. This developed into a fruitful dialog that, in turn, generated great new ideas. In addition, winemaker Alberto Chiarlo and Kokrhanek have known and appreciated each other for quite some time. Alberto’s father, Michele Chiarlo, is something of a living legend, and Alberto also enjoys pushing himself beyond the usual standards. At vinitaly, Europe’s most important wine exhibition, the two of them discussed a new collaboration with designer Mario di Paolo at Michele Chiarlo’s booth. Alberto Chiarlo mentioned the skeleton of the whale, and that immediately sparked di Paolo’s imagination. It must be said that di Paolo is probably the most frequently honored wine label designer in Italy, plus he’s a born rule-breaker. He doesn’t take a label literally; instead, he interprets it using the core of a story as the starting point for an entirely unique narrative. His idea was to use the label to breathe new life into the whale story, to allow the whale to swim through the vineyard and dive down under it again – a metaphor for the almost mythical relationship between the animal, the wine, and the people who make it, so to speak. The project resulted in precisely what you might expect when exactly the right people come together. Namely, multiple award-winning labels that aren’t content with the usual shapes and materials, but instead set standards – for beauty, for inspiration, and for stories that people like to hear. This becomes fully apparent after you’ve uncorked your bottle of Barolo and enjoyed the first drop. When you trace the skeleton of the whale in the embossed paper with your fingers. When the brilliant gold of the label literally brings the movement of the whale’s mighty tail to life. And when you can literally feel the soil of the vineyard in the paper’s rough texture and the color of the ink. It’s a pleasure through and through, provided that the contents of the bottle keep every promise made on the extraordinary label. This is undoubtedly the case with Barolo Balena.

View Images A skater soars across the pavement of the Trocadero in Paris, June 1985. When you read biographies of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel and his famous tower, which turned 125 yesterday, you're struck at first by a paradox: How did something so daring, so beautiful, so outrageous—in 1889 it outraged many—come to be built by such a colorless little dweeb? Eiffel himself provided at least part of the answer: His tower, he said, was dictated by the wind. There was not a drop of romance in the man. Countless newlyweds have made honeymoon memories standing at the top of his 300-meter (1,000-foot) tower, gazing out at the City of Light, and staring into the little office where, in later years, after he'd been forced to stop building things, Eiffel passed the time making meteorological observations. He himself was luckless in love. After six failed courtships, he finally demanded that his mother find him a suitable bride; by that he meant "a good housekeeper who will not pester me too much, who will cheat on me as little as possible, and who will give me fine healthy children that will in fact be mine." There's plenty of material for a psychiatrist in that statement, especially given the shape of Gustave's masterpiece, but not much romance. View Images The ne plus ultra of Parisian icons is surely the Eiffel Tower, seen here in September 1914. A businessman and an engineer to the marrow, Eiffel had already made his name as a builder of soaring railway bridges and railway stations when the organizers of the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889 came looking for a monument to dominate the Champ de Mars. An assistant of Eiffel's did a rough sketch—Eiffel was terrible at drawing. The sketch showed a tower that looked pretty much like a pylon on a railway viaduct, or maybe an oil derrick. After that the wind took over. The goal, specified in Eiffel's contract, was to build the tallest structure ever, at 300 meters (1,000 feet) high. The challenge was to keep the wind from knocking it down. After all, in 1879 a gale had toppled a railway bridge in Scotland, plunging a train and 75 passengers into the Firth of Tay. View Images With the Eiffel Tower as backdrop, children sail toy boats in a pond in July 1936. Eiffel's solution was twofold. First, the lacy trusswork of his tower would give the wind nothing to push. The Eiffel Tower is, in a manner of speaking, lighter than air: All that wrought iron weighs less than the column of air that surrounds it. And second, the tower's curving, tapering structure would channel the load of the wind and the weight of the tower safely to the ground. "Before coming together at the high pinnacle," Eiffel wrote, "the uprights appear to burst out of the ground, and in a way to be shaped by the action of the wind." View Images The Eiffel Tower, seen here in December 1946, was completed in 1889 for the Universal Exposition. In other words, the tower's beauty emerged from engineering calculations. It was a new kind of beauty in the world, the forerunner of the modernist dictum that "form follows function," and in 1889, the Paris intelligentsia were scandalized by it. Guy de Maupassant, the famous short-story writer, later said he'd been forced to leave France, the tower irritated him so much. View Images The Seine slips beneath the Pont Grenelle near the Eiffel Tower, shown here in July 1936. In its first decades the tower, which had been built as a temporary feature of the Universal Exposition, only narrowly escaped being demolished. Even today, when you turn a corner in Paris and the tower soars into view, it remains startling—that is, fresh. And Paris is inconceivable without it. View Images The gate of the Trocadero frames the Eiffel Tower in a July 1921 photograph. Long after the great Gustave died, bored and a little bitter, the architect Le Corbusier paid homage: "I bring to the Tower the testimony of a tireless pilgrim across the world. In the cities, in the savanna, in the pampas, in the desert, on the Ghats and on the estuaries, everywhere, among the humble and among the others, the Tower is in the heart of everyone, symbol of a beloved Paris, beloved symbol of Paris."

For me it works really well to listen to other creatives! I don’t listen to anything while I do thinking work but when I’m doing line work or colouring, I love to listen to a good podcast. Occasionally I get the question what podcasts I recommend so I have compiled a list with my own personal favourites. It’s mainly focused on illustrations, just so you know 😉 I hope you like them too! There are illustrators that faithfully stick to one medium almost their entire careers. I’m not one of them. I love experimenting, trying out new material, different pencils, digital techniques. Trying new materials will bring my skills to a new level. For some years now I saw mostly American illustrators using a weird kind of gouache: Acryla Gouache by Holbein. They were not available in Europe, but this year the paints were finally for sale in my country! It might be hard to believe but the end of 2017 is in sight. It’s been a year where I’ve learned a lot and I would love to share my own little life lessons with you. It’s very personal so take from it whatever suits you, and if it’s not for you that’s fine too of course. It’s been over four years already since I made a big change in my life. I am writing this because I have been making cut-out illustrations this past week and after posting it on Instagram, a friend commented with reminding me that I did something similar for my exhibition early 2013. You can click on the photos to see a bigger photo. Early January, 2013, I was working on my very first exhibition that solely consisted of free work (in Dutch: ‘autonoom werk’). The opening was planned somewhere by the end of January and although it was planned for months in advance, I hadn’t made any work by early January. My heart was somewhere else: figuring out if I should leave art or leave my love. Yes, it was as dramatic as it sounds here 😀 To make a long story short: the one I loved so dearly didn’t approve of the illustration career I was pursuing, and asked me to make a choice. Early that month, I knew what it was going to be, as I couldn’t imagine my life without creating or drawing. In just seven days I created all these art pieces and looking at them makes me well up, even after four years. There is so much love and pain in these works, I can’t even explain. To some it may seem as just simple pieces of work, naively made, not even ‘real art’. To me, it’s much more. During the opening of the show there were some people that didn’t understand what they were seeing here. One man said: “I can’t believe they put this up here”. I didn’t care: this was what I wanted to make and wanted to tell. I couldn’t care less what others thought. I made a painting on the book ‘Resurrection’ by Tolstoy. It shows a girl climbing out of a cocoon, which was symbolic for how I felt at the time. I felt I had been hiding who I was for years and now it was time to get out and be who I really was. Seeing the pieces now, I understand that most works were about coming out of my hiding place and be seen. I ended up making a few pieces with all very cryptic meanings. A self-portrait that you could only really see when you looked in the mirror on the wall. And still, you would see it in a different perspective than normal. Three of the pieces were sold: the cup with the girl in the lower left corner was sold to a dear friend of mine. The book with the girl looking out of the window (middle) was sold to a primary school. The cut-out girl in the glass bell on the right was given to another friend of mine, who was really ill at the time. One friend asked me if I didn’t mind selling the pieces. I didn’t, but I couldn’t really explain why I didn’t mind. Now I realise it’s because it were all pieces of my heart and if someone wanted to buy them and take care of them, I was grateful. The piece you see here on the left, was my absolute favourite. I am still happy I could give it to my friend. She passed away in October last year. It stands for being shut off from the outside world. At that time I had felt so disconnected from the real world for so many years, I didn’t know what I felt or who I was any more. I painted a girl on thick paper, with headphones on. I cut a piece of wire of real headphones and connected it to the girl and to the glass bell over the girl. The piece of wood came from my own backyard. After the exhibition, I stayed in my home town for a little longer, until I found a temporary place to live on the other side of the country. I had always wanted to live somewhere else, as I lived in my home town for 28 years. Still, to this day, this exhibition is my dearest. It reminds me that I should continue to follow my heart, even if it’s scary as hell. Thanks for reading, until next time! Wil je meer tips en creatieve ideeën in je inbox?

More deeply, Tempo is a call to revisit how you relate to the world: whether you are cooking a meal, driving a high-powered business meeting, guiding a career, or dealing with the next stage your life, you can use both your felt sense and intellectual awareness to harmonize and even master the experience. Dr. Rao begins with an exploration of the various fundamental elements of the organism’s experience of tempo. It’s felt emotion is an essential sensor for cultivating situation awareness — you can get a feel for what’s going on in a situation by connecting to the feeling tone. The organism interacts with his environment in a set of key relationship modes: merging, going with the flow, pace-setting, and disruption — knowing which mode you are in can inform your decision of what to do next. In this exploration he develops a Vocabulary of Thought, sketching a glossary of mental models of the self, others, and situations. He helps us make sense of how these mental models interact in the mind and how they externalize into the outside world, manifesting through Enactments. All of these ideas build toward the intentional key insight of the book: by developing the awareness of and leveraging the structure of the Deep Stories in an otherwise seemingly amorphous flow, one can more creatively and skillfully navigate the experience. You can make better decisions if you look at life through the lens of a story. Rao calls this approach Narrative Rationality. The book provides a patchwork of loosely anchored frozen steps across the stream of sense-making. It is a survey, not an exhaustive treatment. It is a heavy lift: a consilience of military thought, culinary arts, software development, the creative process, organization theory, psychology, systems and control theory, metaphysics, economics, improvisation and poetry. Tempo is more than theory. Rao sprinkles exercises throughout the book inviting the reader to not just contemplate but engage. Use Tempo Doodling to explore a sense of rhythm in a conversation. Help reinforce the more positive behavior patterns in others through skillful mimicry. Cultivate an awareness of the ebb and flood of energy throughout your day by seeing your calendar as an artful map, not a sequence of meetings. Pull these skills and the theory together in order to wield the central power tool of the book: the Deep Story — a richly annotated narrative structure that can be used to orient one’s self in non-trivial situations. For example, in a given circumstance, do you sense confusion and/or volatility? You might be experiencing the “Exploration” epoch of a Deep Story. In this part of the story, a good move might be encouraging creativity (through play or “random exploration”)… fertilizing the field toward finding what Dr. Rao calls a “cheap trick” — an organizing insight that provides (hopefully) significant leverage… This is theory begging to be applied. This book has been simultaneously disruptive and a normalizing experience for me. Venkat pulls together a set of ideas that were either vague and, at best, loosely connected in my own mind. He affirms many of the ways I already approach situations, firming up that understanding with intellectual rigor. He also has introduced me to a fresh set of perspectives. The material becomes quite dense as it climaxes and in parts of those sections, I simply had to allow the words to wash over me during this first reading. Even still, enough stuck that I can start using it. For example, I am addressing the question of “I want to be a catalytic leader, how do I encourage the self-organization of my team?” by recasting it in the form of a deep story: “What is the journey of a team learning to self-organize? … and how can I help catalyze that experience?” Even if this one is not a nail, I’m at least getting some feel for the heft of the hammer. It’s better-informed play. I love this book. The author has struck a beautiful balance of science and art. He explores the very personal and pulls it back to the universal. As I finished reading the book, I felt sated, energized to put these concepts to use and yearning to learn more. If you resonate with the notion of more fully connecting with the vibe of life especially to be more effective in your participation in it, you owe it to yourself to pick this book up. Price for pound, it’s an embarrassment of riches.

Ann Oakley and Juliet Mitchell’s text, Who’s Afraid of Feminism, dealt with the widespread criticism leveled at the second-wave at its wake in the 1990s. If we consider how economic parity between men and women figures in child support, we can see how the criticism of feminism is both outward and inward. Alongside misogynist men’s groups, feminists alike argue that the father as the sole breadwinner of the family is passé—women alone can handle the upkeep of their children. Other social-feminists groups contend that the government should shoulder the financial futures of children. From the looks of it, feminists are both confidant and conspirator. Tack on the hegemonic male figure, and it’s seems second-wave feminism exists in this space of imbroglio, with everyone fearful of its intents. More recent waves haven’t been short of dissensus. In Who’s Afraid of Third Wave Feminism, Jonathan Dean pointedly picks up from Oakley and Mitchell to consider the schism within third-wave feminist thought and praxis (i.e., academics and activists) as instantiated through the wave narrative. On this basis, curator Catherine Morris follows a tradition in revisiting feminism and its naysayers. In the recently closed exhibition, Who’s Afraid of Feminism? at A.I.R. Gallery, Morris considers the embroiled politics of the ‘90s feminism with this more recent questioning of the wave narrative and its applicability. There is a fear inherent in both discourses: one reflects on why feminism is vilified at every turn in the press and public, the other on whether the chronological and ideological developments of feminism, as explicated through the wave narrative, simply introduces (false) dichotomies of division between generations. Read this way, feminism and its wave metaphor are things we should be afraid of—but why? Context might help. From a historical standpoint, we can’t attribute much fear to the first wave since its suffrage beginnings have met their end. As for the second, third, and fourth waves, strands of each persist today that spawn from the first wave. Building on suffragist intents, second-wave feminism sought for political equality beyond the vote; the politicized terrain extended to the social and personal realities of women. Other key points in the second wave were the civil rights movement, sexuality, and reproductive rights, with the latter two setting the tone for third wave feminist to view the female body as this celebrated, subjective site. Third-wave approaches embraced a postmodern and post-structural ambiguity that welcomed openness, inclusivity, and a queering of femininity as this fixed, hegemonic construct. The Internet further fueled openness to debate and dialogue across waves as well as the ability to experiment with gender boundaries via online platforms. Newer forms of technology, such as Twitter, have ushered in a fourth wave and a brand of feminist activism that isn’t rooted in the academy, but on online communities and forums. As it presents, this temporal grit to feminist epistemes introduces a cohesive continuity and multiplicity to the wave. Perhaps it’s in this hydra-like display that feminism becomes this fearful force? Adopting the lens of visual culture, Morris answers the unending question in trenchant fashion, turning to the tried and true, women-only model as a retort to this fear. Ever since these gender-based shows emerged in the 1960s, the curatorial model has been met with criticism. Two leading charges are that these shows fail to challenge the status quo and interrupt conversations dictated through the male artist. Morris addressed these critiques—as well as the symbolic wave—through a variety of work in the exhibition. Who’s Afraid of Feminism? captures feminism for what it is: personal, political, and prescient. The voices throughout the exhibition are singular, never a synecdoche of the feminist experience. In toto, we see a feminism that is welcoming, coterminous—space, time, and meaning don’t seem to compete but coalesce. Waves were not easily discernable or harped upon either. And issues from body shaming to the teenage angst around breakup all fell under the purview of feminist discourse. This welcoming was demonstrated via the exhibition design, not just in the works themselves. The two rooms that comprised the show were not ordered through any overt theme or medium. No preference was shown for artists’ standing either. Budding MFA students rubbed shoulders with artists, like Coco Hall and J.J. L’Heureux, who both came of age in the 1980s. As such, there was an intergenerational feel about the show wherein waves collided. Twenty-six artists work filled the two rooms; another eighty-three were represented online. From soft sculpture and video to textile and photography, the rooms had a breadth to them. The space mimicked a shotgun house except there was a narrow hallway to the right that shuttled viewers between the two rooms. Photography tended to dominate the wall-mounted pieces, but it never overwhelmed. Television displays also broke things up with four erected on pedestals along the walls or in corners. For example, in the first room, the tongue-in-cheek seriousness of A Wedding Package (2015) by The Shaft felt fitting in light of Kim Davis’ recent antics in Kentucky. The floor was also occupied. Delicate bobby pins scattered on the floor coalesced into a threatening mass. This somewhat discarded display of Amy Cannestra’s 50 of 118lbs (2015) contrasted with the seemingly privileged treatment of Coco Hall’s warm, mohair-covered killing machine in Pretty Predator Drone (2015). Perched up on a plinth, patriarchy stood tall, while teenage heartbreak fell short. As one moved further along the walls, for a moment, Cecilia Rossey had us rummaging through the past, herHomage To Those Who Took A Stand (2015) locating the early threads of feminism in the suffrage movements of the mid-19th century. Although Rossey referenced a specific historical moment, the tactile act of sifting through this suitcase of encaustic mementos felt as though one was courting time. From Emmeline Pankhurst’s arrest at the hands of three men to Mary Winsor’s calling to light the unfair treatment of imprisoned suffragettes, the act of peering through time was equally as engaging as the questions it conjured. Who else took a stand? And how does this bear on voting rights today? No doubt the din of an election cycle resonated with this homage; there was a here-and-now relevance about digging through Rossey’s archive. Interestingly, absent from the wall text was the year the work was made. In fact, minus the artist checklist at the gallery entrance, all the works had no documented date to orient the viewer within a larger feminist history timeline. This temporal blurring injected a degree of openness to the suffrage movement. What place could suffrage efforts have within the diversity and internationalism of newly developing waves of feminism? Morris’ move here rubbed up against the idea of exhibition organization as a repository of education but in doing so she initiated a self-study into the works themselves as well as the possibilities and limitations of feminist thought mediated through the work. Turning to the works themselves, there were instances where inter-wave dialogue could occur. For instance, in the second room, Tara Booth delivered a witty but sobering performance in Weight (2015). The searching video found Booth hauling about town a whitish-yellow mass. On first thought, it would seem that Booth is weighed down by patriarchy. She frequents a pub alone, holds hands with a lover, is jilted by said lover, and fusses over her figure before a mirror—all instances where patriarchy wields its sword of seduction and subjugation. Yet, there is more to Weight than these sequestered scenes. Booth actually harbors an emotional weight born out of a maternal inheritance of body dysphoria and comfort eating. Yes, patriarchy possibly plays a part, but it isn’t the focus here for Booth. Her health concerns, by and large, plague women and men, young and old, which is a perfect riposte to feminism not speaking to the status quo of things. Christine Giancola’s photographic work also juxtaposed the latent and manifest to inform how feminist waves might intersect. In I remember (2011) a solitary, aged woman is caught between drags of her cigarette. She is situated to the extreme left of the image, an afterthought almost. Behind her were towering French doors with windowpanes filled with images of scantily clad men and women, some in pairs, others alone. Peep Show (2009) continued the suggestive narrative, as a mother and her young daughter stand idle before an adult toyshop. Giancola’s images are generous with meaning, but the commingling of past and present with progeny in mind is worth noting. Paired, I remember and Peep Showevinced the fragile archetypes of feminism—the aged matron brimming with dated wisdom of memories past, the impressionable infant with sex and its commodified connotations knocking at the door—but also questioned this idea of difference. That is, through Giancola, we saw no common identity attached to term, woman.Instead, individual and collective agitations (re)surfaced; coherence emerged through difference. Considered alongside Booth (and any other artist, for that matter), these visual renderings of the female figure offered up a narrative of continuity and multiplicity in thought that has often escaped the wave metaphor. So where does this leave feminism and this lingering fear? It’s not entirely clear. In truth, the all-women shows can only answer so much. Morris intended for this aesthetic strand of feminist critique to build commitment and collectivities across waves. At the same time, her words framing Who’s Afraid of Feminism?eschewed generalities. We saw disparate works in dialogue with local and multinational matters, all the while maintaining their singular voice—but a voice in conversation with whom exactly? Although we can take an educated guess, in this context, we never really know who the Who is that fears feminism. Is it patriarchal society writ-large or the art world and its skewed market that disenfranchises women? Perhaps a more operational way to explicate and, if need be, recondition the fear around feminism would be to situate these twenty-six artists in direct conversation with these troubled audiences. That has been a shortcoming of the all-women model—self-absorbing, insular, not dialogic. Then again, the titular question, considered through prior literature and the current exhibition, was part rhetoric, part self-searching, and all parts dialogical—it asks, answers, and asks again, with the latter answer coming from the viewer. Morris’ left us to piece together the puzzle and the paranoia (or lack thereof) that has dogged the cultural and politically radical tenets of feminism. And that has been the history of the all-women exhibition, at the edge of feminist social history and mainstream (male-dominated) exhibition practice, never really staking a claim, but encouraging viewers to do so. Taking a page from the past, Morris didn’t inundate the show with a sophisticated theme or philosophical bent that oriented things. Other than the shared gender of the artists, locating a commonality in the works was not the emphasis here. In its place, Who’s Afraid of Feminism? was quite open, almost nomadic in the way it was conceived and staged: the open curatorial argument with no fixed meaning being read into the surveyed works; the extensive geography of the show as reflected in the online portion (accessible via a screen in the space) that exhibited additional artist beyond the four walls; and the subtle elimination of dates from wall labels. Morris’ move for openness was welcomed in that it acknowledged the flux in feminism but left viewers considering the other side of flux: flow. So yes, feminism is in a flux of sorts, with the painfully awkward tête-à-tête between Roxane Gay and Erica Jong a clear show that race, ethnicity, and class differences need to be advocated for in order to arrive at a more parallel platform. However, on account of this exhibition, there was a continuous flow across the works that was encouraging, even if it was limited to the visual language of art. But the art is coming from somewhere not here, a sentimental place where we can only imagine dialogue is happening. That being said, across Who’s Afraid of Feminism?, self-identified feminist artists embraced a continuity, inclusivity, and multiplicity in their practice; we can only hope these early coterminous workings in the visual translate into dialogues where feminist waves and their social, political, and epistemological strands can be discussed in tandem.

The market is saturated with different answers and may overcome a small business operator. How do you select the correct system for you? Listed here are easy guidelines to go by. 1. Decide whether you will need a point of sale in the first place. That typically is determined by the transaction and difficulty amount of your company. If you are operating a restaurant, POS systems is crucial. For that retail stores, the choices mainly depend on the inventory and number of employees. Underneath line, point of sale is intended to save you money by saving your valuable time. 2. Request for more information and do your investigation. This is self-explanatory. It is recommended to study companies in your niche to determine what they are using. The web also offers lots of assets about them. You, therefore, need to compare POS systems more carefully and comprehensively. 3. Determine you intend to spend on it. Point of sale systems are costly. Be prepared to pay a large cost for software certification and modification, although hardware is fairly affordable. The guideline listed here is to select producer or a specific manufacturer and proceed cost searching for it. Additionally, bear in mind that you rent or can fund-to-possess your POS System. Beware of any point of sale hire agreements or “free pos “offers. Dismiss it, if it sounds too good to be true. The correct is retained by most of these corporations towards the POS System and link it into a top fee merchant account. They demand a big cancellation fee and can consider one’s body should you decide to terminate. 4. Find the right equipment. On the character of one’s company, you may choose from business-quality program with ID66 score (dirt and water evidence) or perhaps a normal display and PC. It’s better to go along with a maker that’s a successful track record in POS technology. 5. Find the appropriate software. This is most costly and most significant section of your point of sale. Always go along with an application that’s specifically made for your business. For restaurants, it typically contains Aloha, Micros, Digital Dining and Aldelo. 6. Decide on tech support team. Technical support is vital. That you don’t desire to be left on your own having a lifeless point of sale program. Help certainly will help you save a lot of headaches and is relatively inexpensive. It’s suggested to buy assistance straight in the merchant rather than the producer. They know your system and your setup better, and certainly will aid you faster.

One of these involves the decision to hire an architect. A few of the persons close to you may ask you not to hire an architect, but it is evident from the text below that you are better off working with this professional. You can save as much as 20 percent of the construction costs when an architect is involved in the whole process.

Hiring an architect is the only way to guarantee that you get the best house plans in the market. In addition, these experts give consideration to an array of aspects when coming up with such plans, which ensure that you get a long-lasting, attractive, and functional home. The zoning requirements in your area, your budget, and the applicable building codes are just some of the considerations that the architect will keep in mind.

Personally I have little interest in where our president plays golf, but I am quite intrigued by a little town on the island called Oak Bluffs. Established near a Methodist revival tent camp in 1866, Oak Bluffs later evolved into a vernacular urban layout with side-by-side Carpenter Gothic cottages and a tabernacle for community gatherings. What started as a retreat for religious awakening and communing with nature has become a model for sensible town planning with lessons for builders, developers and architects.The camp meeting ground land use form is the subject of a position paper written by Sara Hines, architect, urbanist and professor at Boston Architectural College. Under the auspices of the Project for Lean Urbanism Ms. Hines has written a paper, “The Camp Meeting Movement as Lean Archetype,” a study of camp meeting communities across the country. She has also recently published a book, Cottage Communities - The American Camp Meeting Movement, an architecture and planning study of more than 50 of the remaining 1,000 Camp Meetings left in this country. “I hope to follow it up with a larger work that will have even more photos of these remarkable places,” she says. Oak Bluffs, Camp Etna, Pittman Grove and Chautauqua are among over 1,000 remaining meeting camp grounds, some are 150 years old. According to Hines,” these places convey vernacular building ideas based on a sense of craft and making do with less. They teach construction know-how and urban planning with lessons that still hold today.” “Community is the real gift of these places,” writes Hines. “Rules of conduct in these dense camps grew out of the need for large numbers (as many as 10,000) to work as a community.” The Oak Bluffs cottage community is as story-book charming as any subdivision you’ll ever see. The houses, some less than 1,000 square feet, have steep pitched roofs, perfectly scaled gables, gingerbread brackets and front porches overlooking verdant public space. From these porches, people chat with their neighbors and watch their kids play frissbee on the lawn. The proximity from cottage to cottage is perfect for extended family gatherings. The nearby Tabernacle has concerts and lectures which enhances community experience. The streets have more people than cars. Oak Bluff residents don’t own the land underneath them; it belongs to the neighborhood association. This right-sized real estate is more affordable than the fee-simple houses elsewhere on Martha’s Vineyard. Oak Bluffs is a summer resort. Would this kind of housing development work as a year round habitat? I think so and so does Sara Hines. Consider who’s buying houses now and in the near future. Industry data tells us that it is first-time home buyer millennials and baby-boom seniors, the latter forming households at a faster rate than their grandchildren. Despite their 40-year age difference, these home buyers want many of the same things: community, economy, walkability and amenities. “The camp meeting ground is a land use form particularly American, evolved to create community, integrating architecture, nature, and urban design using innate rules of human nature, ”declares Sara Hines. It is a “lean archetype” for what new housing developments could be now and in the future. I think I’ll plan a future vacation at Oak Bluffs. Buying Guide Spotlight James DeMartis Wren Railing Det.

That’s 75 cents US for those wondering. Located beside the Sands Macao, the Macau Museum of Art was another place I couldn’t wait to get to, and not just because of the price. When I toured around Western Europe in 2005, my happiest moments by far came inside the art galleries. From Rome to Berlin, Amsterdam to London, Paris to Madrid, the most creative minds in Western history were all on display, preserved in works that transcend time, borders, politics, culture – everything that strives to drive us apart but great art ultimately pulls back together. The commitment towards art that the Macau government has is another reason why I like the city so much. Any and every month, a ton of exhibits and exhibitions are always on the go, most of them free of charge. Smaller than I expected, Macau’s Museum of Art doesn’t have many permanent exhibitions, so if you go, you’re going to be at the mercy of whatever temporary exhibitions are on. Fortunately we encountered two excellent photo displays, the first of which came courtesy of Mica Coste Grande, a Brazilian who lived in Macau for fourteen years from 1986 to 2000. Mica Coste Grande photograph Mica Coste Grande photographMica Coste Grande photograph I thought most of his best photos came from the poorer regions of Western China, and unlike the photos we saw on the first day, Coste Grande’s manipulation of the camera is phenomenal. Mica Coste Grande photograph Mica Coste Grande photographMica Coste Grande photograph Mu Yi was also very impressed with the lighting, colors, angle and composition of his photos. Mica Coste Grande photograph Mica Coste Grande photographMica Coste Grande photograph The second temporary exhibition was simply titled Old Macau. Quite a number of the photos were 1960 tributes to Mao and the Motherland, which gave Mu Yi a favorable impression of the Portuguese. She thought they must have been very nice rulers to have let the local Chinese celebrate their leader and national days in such grandiose ways. Mao and the MotherlandMao and the Motherland Other things I gleaned from the photos were that Senado Square used to be open to traffic and that there was really nothing south of it until the Lisboa came. Old Senado Square with cars Senado Square – with cars Old Macau before the Lisboa San Ma Lo, South Old Inner Harbour Inner Harbour I was also surprised to see just how recognizable some of the streets in the city remain to this day, with many of their key distinguishing features unchanged. Old Praia Grande Former Praia Grande (I think) Guia Hill Building opposite Guia Hotel Old Street of Happiness Street of Happiness Old Macau Inner Harbour Inner Harbour, with Green Island and Zhuhai in the distance On the third floor, the museum had another good exhibition named Historical Pictures. George Chinnery was figured prominently as were his contemporaries, most of them his students. If you ask me the students exceeded their master because I didn’t think much of Chinnery’s work. Macau Museum of Art: Old Macau art Macau Museum of Art: ArcherMacau Museum of Art: Fish vendors Amateur is what Mu Yi called it, and I kind of thought the same thing. His students’ compositions caught my eye more, not only because their paintings used more color, but because I thought they needed a lot more skill to create. Macau Museum of Art: Old Macau artwork George Chinerry sketch Macau Museum of Art: Old building on beach There was one more floor of work open at the museum that day, but it was a joke, as modern art mostly is. Absolutely nothing to it, it was another embarrassing example of the junk my generation calls art. Somewhere somehow, skill, patience and an appreciation of good taste got long forgotten. Mark Knopfler had pretty much the same feeling in 1978 after he was In the Gallery. 5 1 vote Article Rating Notify of Inline Feedbacks View all comments

A couple of excerpts: “Born in Chicago in 1939, Paschke studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago during the height of the Imagist movement in the late fifties, while supporting himself as a commercial artist. He avidly collected photograph-related visual media in all its forms, from newspapers, magazines, and posters to film, television, and video, with a preference for imagery that tended toward the risqué and the marginal. Through this he studied the ways in which these media transformed and stylized the experience of reality, which in turn impacted on his consideration of formal and philosophical questions concerning veracity and invention in his own painting. At the same time, he sought living and working situations — from factory hand to psychiatric aide - - that would connect him with Chicago’s diverse ethnic communities as well as feed his fascination for gritty urban life and human abnormality. Thus he developed a distinctive oeuvre that oscillated between personal and aesthetic introspection and confronting social and cultural “Unlike most of his Pop predecessors with their unthreatening embrace of popular culture, Paschke gravitated towards the images that exemplified the underside of American values – fame, violence, sex, and money – a preference that he shared with Andy Warhol, who was one of his foremost inspirations. Although long considered to be an artist of his own time and place, his explorations of the archetypes and clichés of media identity prefigured the appropriative gestures of the “Pictures Generation,”

A world traveler and elaborate, frequently fantastical decorator, Pinto amassed a clientele ranging from Middle Eastern petroleum billionaires and politicians to celebrities. He was 69. Born in 1943 in Casablanca, Pinto spent his childhood in Morocco. His tours across Europe and the rest of the world with globe-trotting parents would influence Pinto’s exotic, global design vision later in life. In the Sixties in New York, he began working on interior design stories for Condé Nast, where he was introduced to avant-garde decorative arts, inspiring Pinto to experiment with varied and elaborate interiors within his own apartment. Pinto founded a design studio in Paris in 1971. Viewing each project as a unique and global creation, he became one of the most cosmopolitan and worldly of French decorators, favoring Orientalist styles and pattern play. Within his studio, Pinto surrounded himself with numerous artisans and collaborators, promoting a hyper-detail-oriented work ethic and putting colors and art at the epicenter of daily life. This ethos garnered him a variety of luxury commissions, ranging from bespoke airplanes and private yachts to luxury hotels across the world, notably the private salons of France’s Elysée Palace. Pinto’s sister and longtime collaborator, Linda Pinto, will take over the direction of the designer’s namesake studio. Among Pinto’s final projects were Paris’ Hôtel Lambert, a mansion-turned-hotel in the city’s 4th arrondissement, and Monaco’s Tour Odéon, a double-skyscraper apartment complex slated for completion in 2014. Pinto’s funeral is scheduled for Friday in Paris’ Montparnasse Cemetery.

From the initial settlement as a French fort in 1701 through the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 and the rise of importance of Detroit as a major shipping port to the industrial heyday of the first half of the twentieth century, the riverfront remained a vibrant and essential feature of the urban fabric. Today, the riverfront is a disconnected urban asset, hidden from the center of the city behind major streets, parking lots, large buildings, and a mostly desolate urban plaza. Efforts to clean up the riverfront have relied mostly on beautification strategies and have not addressed the most pressing issue: the need to reconnect the Detroit Riverfront to the city. Hart Plaza, no longer serves as the “Heart of Detroit.” Designed in 1975 for large public festivals, Hart Plaza has hosted many important festivities, but most of the prominent events have since moved to other places in the city, which are more appropriate in scale or location, leaving behind a valuable urban space with enormous social potential. “Breaking the Edge” is intended to be a catalyst, rather than seen as a finalized plan. The goal of our design is to reenergize the social fabric of the downtown waterfront through a network of connected multifaceted spaces from Campus Martius to the Riverwalk; as well as, enhance existing urban assets to create an accessible destination as part of a new vibrant downtown Detroit. We do not view this as an abandonment of Hart Plaza, but rather as reclamation of the Detroit Riverfront by the city. Our strategy combines the specificity of an architectural intervention with programmatic choreography; thus, orchestrating the dynamic coexistence of urban activity and stimulating the urban potential of the riverfront through a connected public space. This orchestration is initiated through the daylighting of the historic Savoyard River and channeling the newly uncovered waterway to the Detroit River through the introduction of the new Savoyard Canal. The restoration of the hydrologic system in Detroit and the introduction of a constructed wetland will serve both environmental and social purposes as the new canal runs along lower Woodward Avenue, enhancing the Downtown experiential quality and creating an attractive environment for new businesses at both the street and lower promenade levels. The canal is flanked by programmed promenades on either side, directly connecting the current center of activity with newly programmed islands at the river’s edge. This new pedestrian connection from Campus Martius to the riverfront will be unobstructed by traffic along the sunken promenades and under the new Jefferson Avenue Overpass. A discourse amongst the newly formed islands will evoke the succession of the scenographic elements, which will create the base of possible activities. Each island is created with an individual character allowing for differentiated events and an array of unpredicted activities suited for individuals, families, and small gatherings. However, through their orientation and a series of pedestrian bridges, the separate spaces remain well connected for larger festivities to take place on several or all islands simultaneously. A central Exhibition and Information Pavilion will serve as a destination for tourists and Detroiters alike, housing a café, a restaurant, and a gallery focused on information of the city’s architecture, urban design, and development. The building will mediate between the street level and the new riverfront level of the islands and will offer spaces for classes, meetings, discussions, and receptions. Acting as a promotional institute for architecture, the pavilion will be humble and compact, yet also emerge as a landmark for the riverfront.

Just start with a structure or bit of landscape and keep going. Usually ends up in the wastebasket and maybe this one should have but it didn't. Usually I like to do a birds eye view. This one is fantasy based but sometimes something more real. Monday, September 28, 2009 Grandpa by the shed This is a picture I have done a number of times. I think I posted a different version of it way back when I started the blog. It's inspired by a photo I have of my grandfather stiing near the shed on the farm he lived on the last years of his life. ( He and grandma weren't farmers but always lived on farms, this one belonging to her family who were farmers) I don't know that there will be more posted but this isn't the last I will do of it, keep at it until I get it right. Like a lot of things I see in my head, I know there is a great picture there but getting it on paper or canvas falls short. Sunday, September 27, 2009 Vintage Gas This pretty much out of my head of course influenced by my collection of old photos etc. As usual mostly pen and ink and Neocolor II, my favorite stuff to try and make pictures with. Nice quiet day here today, a break from Dave and Kathy's taxi and babysitting service. The wife nagged me into mowing the front yard ( it did need mowing) but it's pretty much all I had to do today. The Bears even won alhtough it wasn't looking pretty at the start so mark this day up as a good one. Saturday, September 26, 2009 Another Girl Another kind of pin up girl picture, pen and ink and Neocolor II. When I was younger I would draw girls like this more often but for some reason my wife didn't like it. I would tell her it was just artistic expression but she would say I could express myself by drawing a nice bowl of fruit. Of course that was back when I would let her see my drawings to get her judgement on how I was doing. I don't do that anymore, pretty much knowing what she thinks and unable to take criticism that well. I don't think it matters to her much now what I draw, she doesn't pay any attention except for the rare time I might ask for an opinion on something and besides we both know I'm pretty much harmless as far as women go by now. I like the picture, not going to ask her what she thinks. Weather around here is good but late September always sucks to me. Getting dark earlier, getting cooler at night ( wife just went around closing the windows in fact.) Halloween stores already popping up. All of it reminding me that another winter is closing in on us. Friday, September 25, 2009 Dangerous Babe Change in subject matter a bit and style a bit. I've been having trouble finishing anything and more being happy with what I finish and thought maybe it's from drawing the same old same old day after day so playing came up with this. I always liked comics and still do for that matter. Most of my drawing is "cartoony" although I admit its just how it comes out, not really on purpose but this at least is intentional. Anyway, I had fun with it so if your looking here your likely to see more like it. I thought of putting more color in the background but stopped on purpose. I can't afford the fancy art programs but have a free one called the "gimp" I downloaded some time ago but haven't put much effort into learning it yet. Maybe I'll use this to play with it and see if I can figure it out. Thursday, September 24, 2009 I finished this cartoon a couple of days ago and wasn't going to post it but haven't put anything up lately so might as well. Not that I was that unhappy with it even though I kind of lost the whole perspective thing at one point. The drawing below I started as a wip didn't end well. I wont do that again unless I have already finished the whole thing first. Sunday, September 13, 2009 Another WIP Another work in progress series, this one inspired by a television show I was watching today. So far this is all one pen, a faber-castell Sepia. I hop around in the drawing, working on one area until it was done would make me loopy ( loopier maybe). I also work on several drawings on one time for the same reason, to ward off boredom. On the drawing board now are some sunflowers and a scantily dressed girl. Maybe I'll post those also. Could I have a hand vote for which? The sunflowers? Well OK, I'm surprised but always in favor of what the majority wants. There was a time I thought I was pretty smart about technology but I have to admit it seems to have passed me by. I did get the internet activated at the house and now have one notebook computer that I can access it from but trying to set up my "home network" is not going anywhere quick. Mostly I use a PC, that hooked up to my scanner/printer and still operating off dial up ( not going to disconnect that until I'm certain I know what I'm doing.) I've been reading a bunch of stuff about how to and etc and it seems to make sense while I'm looing at it but after I realize that most of it I have no idea what they are talking about. Anyone know the brain cell die off rate after age 59 or so? Friday, September 4, 2009 Same picture as yesterday a little further along. I am not thrilled with the picture but I like doing this, might become a regular feature here. Thing about what I am going to write that I did actually helps me think more about what it is I'm going to do as I work. Today I wanted to increase the contrast between the background and the hair so I darkened the background and added opposite crosshatching to the blouse again to create texture, give it the appearance of cloth weave. I also added some stippling to the face etc. My advice to any artist is never point out your mistakes, people find them on thier own and if they don't all the better but as this is an exercise it seems proper. Theres probably plenty wrong with it but the necklace leaps out at me, no reason for it to lay that way and doesn't add the lack of 3d which I'm not happy with to start with. Sure there is more but that just off the top of my head. Anyone reading that has something to add feel free, go ahead, rip it apart. I'll probably finish it up, see what I can do but wouldn't if it wasn't for starting this thing here. Maybe documenting it all will help me improve, add to that thinking process I talked about. Oh yeah, the light, someone with a good eye and pickly will no doubt say my lighting is uncertain. I had that thought but at the moment more concerned with the contrast then where the light is coming from but that does need change as well. Thursday, September 3, 2009 WIP, pen and ink Still don't have anything really to post so thought I would show what I am doing right now and update as I finish it unless of course it hits the round file. This is all pen and ink with a lot of stippling, kind of an experiment to do the shading etc in stippling. I like the effect some get using stippling, of course the bad part the time consuming part of it. I use the stippling also in the background with gray over it to give some texture. I suppose right now a couple hours worth to answer the oft asked question. Cmcast was here today, put two more tvs up at least and installed internet although I can't use it yet. I was afraid of that, because of where they installed it he couldn't or wouldn't run the wire to where my computer is two rooms away. They chose the location for the modem when they installed the phone and I should have objected then but it wasn't on my mind then. I ordered an ethernet cable and a router so by next week I should be able to do the hook up myself. I still end up paying the same outragous amount which was one of my complaints and even a few bucks more although I supposedly got the internet for freee but worth it not to go through the hassle of switching everything. I'm not thrilled with the company but I should say every technician they have ever sent out has been really nice and willing to take the time to make sure its all done right ( except for installing the wire today which I suppose he couldn't do) Pen and Ink Just a pen and ink that originally I wasn't going to post but for lack of anything better up it goes. We had the grandsons birthday party here on Sunday. My daughter lives in an apartment and of course not enough room there. I still remember having like one birthday party when I was a kid and it was a cake and ice cream thing with some hats. My wife didn't want to cook so she had it catered from a local pizza etc restaurant, not pizza but beef and chicken and some italian noodle thing I forget. Two cakes, ( not sure why two) and of course the ice cream. Mostly adults at it, a few kids but more family and my daughters friends kid. I guess the grandson enjoyed it but things sure change. FInished dealing with Comast ( don't want to use the name because it will end up alerting them like its a new beef) I ended up staying with them, not sure why as we were looking to save money and that didn't happen but they did add the internet for "free". Almost free anyway, they sure don't like to give up any of those bucks they have been getting out of you. Probably should have switched to another outfit but it seems like a hassle to do that and probably a new provider would be no less greedy then these guys. Anyway they are supposed to be here to set it up this afternoon so hopefully my next post will be faster upload which means I will ramble on like this less while I'm waiting for it.

These are is a great way of revolution in the field of photography opening a lot of opportunities also for the photographers. Hiring Skilled and Experienced Wedding Photographers There are lots of occasions with which individuals identify very closely. These are events which occupy a special place in their hearts. Marriage is certainly one of them. This has been so since a very long time indeed. Different cultures propagate the notion of a wedding ceremony as well as a number of rituals. These rituals and customs happen to be at the very crux of what the cultural identity is all about. By not following them, the individual will be breaking from the age old traditions. Clearly, that is not an option and everyone falls in line, so to speak! But the occasions like wedding are also very memorable, and hence it is customary to keep pictures of this event for wedding photography and later viewing. The photoshooter from Syracuse for marriages is suitable for this task. These gentlemen are supposed to be highly trained in the dynamics of camera operations. They must have thorough knowledge of how to adapt to different conditions and use lenses; adjust focal lengths, exposures to light etc. This can be obtained in two ways. The first is the formal training from a school of camera work. The other, which is more commonly observed, is that of tricks of the trade being learned and different skills being picked up by being in the apprenticeship of the job itself. This is firsthand experience and hence this is generally preferable. Thus while searching for able photographers; it is a good idea to check their background. The websites where the lens men usually put up all the relevant data will contain examples of their previous works. The objective of the wedding cameraman is to capture all the vivid expressions and special moments. The faces of hosts and guests must be clearly visible. The family will review these photos later on. This will mean that they will suffer from nostalgia and would want to relive those moments again. This happens partly because many of the rituals also include the bridge going away to stay with the parents of the husband. Sometimes, this parting can even mean that the woman travels to a different state, city or even country. Naturally, her parents and siblings feel very sad about this and they want to make the best of the last moments with their daughter. Of course, she can visit her parents’ home from time to time but this has a special meaning. There is a reasonable difference between the ways marriage ceremonies are carried out in urban areas and those in suburban areas, for which wedding photographer at Buffalo(Suburb) is suitable.

The comic’s latest cover gracing Prog 2125, on sale this Wednesday (3rd April), depicts alien immigrants from the strip “Grey Area“, sneaking through a gap in a familiar looking fence, emblazoned with anti-alien slogans. Science fiction and fantasy stories have cast a mirror (often, darkly) at the contemporary world, be it in Gulliver’s Travels, pouring scorn on various political systems, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea with its commentary on war, through to modern stories such as China Mieville’s Perdido Street Station, James S.A. Corey’s The Expanse and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. (The latter of course has its own wall, which Donald Trump infamously tried to hijack for his own political ends apparently unaware of how it’s used in both the cargo culture novels and TV series). Comics, too, have long proven more than able to offer commentary on the modern world and thanks to the comic’s creator Pat Mills and writers that included John Wagner, 2000AD has been doing it since Prog One back in 1977, most obviously through the pages of “Judge Dredd”, but political satire is often part of other strips, too, either overtly or with astute subtlety. Judge Dredd in the story “The Devil You Know”, featured in 2000AD Progs 750 – 753. Script by John Wagner, art by Jeff Anderson. The story is reprinted in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Volume 16 With its setting in an alien immigration “holding area”, “Grey Area” is an action-packed adventure thriller following the heavily-armed enforcers of The Grey Area, a huge ‘Exo Segregation Zone’ in future Arizona where aliens wishing to visit Earth are quarantined. Dan has used the series to explore contemporary attitudes to immigration and hold a mirror up to inflammatory rhetoric and politics on the issue. The connotations behind the strip are pretty apparent, and never more so when condensed into this latest 2000AD cover image, as series artist Mark Harrison cunningly draws not just on contemporary politics and the proposed design of Trump’s controversial wall, but also the shifting use of iconography by often competing political groups. “I wanted to depict an alien family escaping the Grey Area and have the father nervously regarding the ‘Welcoming signage’,” Mark reveals. “The mother is dubious about the first steps into a ‘Brave New World’ that would have obvious parallels to images we have seen on the news. “I wanted to express in part ludicrous officialdom in a humorous way,” he added, “so I looked at Area 51 and any signage referring to immigrants that seemed ‘official’ and found a sign created in the 1980s by a Caltrans worker, John Hood, after deaths of illegal immigrants on the freeway, a sign designed to save lives has also been appropriated by some supporters of the Far Right who may not be aware of its original meaning. “With that in mind I adapted it as a flyers for such human groups outside the Grey Area expressing their dissatisfaction, along with using the warning signs as target practice! “The warning signs themselves also parody the alien encounter clichés found in science fiction films; an acceptable fiction to make the grey more black and white and palatable and to popularise the “Easy narrative” over the complex and more nuanced reality.” The original Caltrans Warning Sign designed by John Hood in the 1980s In the real world, the Caltrans signs, erected at at a time when attempts to enter into the United States through California ran into the thousands each year, now markedly less, have mostly been removed. In 2017, just one remained, placed between two wooden poles in a concrete median in the northbound direction of Interstate 5, just before a sign that says “Welcome to California.” A photograph of one of the signs hangs at the National Museum of American History, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. (The original proved too large for permanent installation). It’s not the first time Navajo artist John Hood’s work has been parodied, of course. Back in 2011, for example, Banksy reinterpreted the image while visiting Los Angeles, adding a kite to the hand of the man, transforming the frantic race towards an unknown future and destiny in an extravagant scene. Interpretations of the sign have featured on T-shirts, coffee mugs, murals, political cartoons, wallpaper, book covers, the cover of a punk CD, a bogus magazine cover, a metal sculpture, etc. Political interpretations include the characters outfitted as Mayflower Pilgrims and the characters. 2000AD has always used parody and satire to lampoon and undercut contemporary politics,” notes editor Matt Smith, “from the overt authoritarianism of ‘Judge Dredd’ to the prejudice faced by characters in ‘Strontium Dog’. “Mark’s ‘Grey Area’ cover continues this tradition of not shirking from satirizing populist politics.” 2000AD Prog 2125 is on sale in print and digital this Wednesday 3rd April 2019 \| Web: 2000ad.com Politics.co.uk: The politics of Judge Dredd by Michael Molcher The Mercury News, 2008: Caltrans artist crafted iconic immigration image • Los Angeles Times, 2017: With only one left, iconic yellow road sign showing running immigrants now borders on the extinct OC Weekly: Five best parodies of the illegal immigrant road sign Find 2000AD graphic novels on AmazonUK Categories: 2000AD, British Comics, downthetubes Comics News, downthetubes News Discover more from downthetubes.net Subscribe now to keep reading and get access to the full archive.

Photo by Harold LaBonte. LUCERNE – The new Harbor Village Artists center is a cluster of four charming Alpine-style artist cottages tucked into a park-like setting in the town of Lucerne on the north shore of Clear Lake in Northern California. Each cottage houses a retail art gallery and working art studio featuring works for sale by local and regional artists. Artist works for sale include original oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings, Pomo baskets, sculpture, jewelry, original gourd art, gifts and hand-painted tiles. Gallery shops include The Gourd Gallery, Konocti Art Gallery/Studio, Lakeside Art and Pomo Fine Arts Gallery. Meet the artists: Sandie Coelho-Davis Sandie Coelho-Davis comes from a long line of Lake County pioneer families and, with her husband Jim, moved permanently back to her ancestral roots in 1989. She was first introduced to gourds about 10 years ago and seriously got involved when a friend started the Bachelor Valley Gourd Club in June 2005. She enjoys the many friendships and creative gourd artists. Coelho-Davis continues to learn new techniques and understands why the gourd has been in use for centuries. While she uses several gourd art techniques, woodburning has become a favorite. In July of 2008, she and her gallery partners, Linda Kelly and Marilyn Crayton, opened The Gourd Gallery, the first gallery just for gourds in California. Coelho-Davis sells her work at the gallery and at craft fairs and gourd festivals. Marilyn Crayton Marilyn Crayton was born, raised, and employed in San Francisco before retiring to Lake County in 1998. A guest speaker at a local garden club meeting first introduced her to gourds in 2000. Several years later, she began working with a few gourds that she had previously purchased. While she has never had any formal art classes, Crayton has taken a handful of one-day classes at gourd festivals, and in June 2005 she started a local gourd club that meets monthly. Today, Crayton grows many of her own gourds on her ranch in Witter Springs. These gourds come in many shapes and sizes. At the end of the growing season, the gourds are picked and set out to dry slowly. When fully dry, the gourds are cleaned and decorated. Virtually any technique that can be used on wood or leather can be applied to a gourd, including burning, dyeing, carving, staining, painting, sewing, etc. The choices seem to be limitless. Crayton sells her gourds at local shops, The Gourd Gallery in Lucerne, and at several craft fairs. Joan Facca Joan Facca was born and raised in Redwood City and raised her family in Fremont. Facca spent many childhood summers at Clear Lake and moved to Lake County with her husband in 1985. Her love of art began at a very early age. Mostly self-taught, Joan began painting with oils and moved to pastels, the medium she finds most rewarding. Her pastel landscapes reflect her love and respect for the natural world and the exceptional beauty of Clear Lake. Ray Farrow Ray Farrow was born in England and educated in England, Canada, and the United States. He developed his passion for painting after a successful career in the international resort industry. Farrow is self-taught with the help of workshops, videos, books and through his association with other artists who, like himself, continue to hone their skills by painting daily. He enjoys exhibiting his work where he learns from the comments and feedback of viewers and other artists. Farrow also is co-owner of Konocti Art Gallery/Studio in the artist colony Harbor Village Artists. Meredith Gambrel Meredith Gambrel considers her painting a hobby gone awry. She began painting and drawing at a very young age, studied at various art schools and colleges, and also studied under numerous well-known artists. Gambrel’s love of nature is the theme of most of her paintings. While she has worked in most media, at the present time, her paintings are rendered in oil. Her love is to create beautiful paintings for all to enjoy. Carolyn Hawley Carolyn Hawley, former college music instructor and conductor of the Ukiah Symphony, is by profession a classical musician but has been painting since she moved to Mendocino and Lake counties in 1970. She is self-taught and has shown her work in numerous solo and group art shows, locally and in the Bay Area. Hawley has won many ribbons and prizes for her art, which critics have dubbed "magic realism." She paints landscapes, seascapes, skyscapes, people and animals and is inspired to capture the true "essence" of her subjects. She sells her paintings, prints, and gift cards in galleries and also by commission. Lynn Hughes Lynn Hughes is a Californian through and through. She was born and raised in San Francisco, and her great-grandparents were Lake County settlers. Hughes was a stay-at-home mom with three children and returned to finish her college education at the age of 40. After working in San Francisco for 12 years, she retired in 1998 to a 16-acre horse ranch in Bachelor Valley. A combination of time and circumstance enabled Hughes to explore a new creative avenue, jewelry making, an adventure that has been filled with supportive friends, inspiring teachers, books and magazines, as well as joyful hours seeking just the right “ingredients” to make something beautiful. This spring, Hughes was published in a national magazine with another piece of jewelry to be featured in Beadunique in spring 2009. She creates jewelry for pleasure. While she finds it gratifying to receive compliments about her jewelry, she finds the biggest compliment in having a piece of her jewelry sell. Linda Kelly Linda Kelly had always wished to move to Lake County, and 10 years ago that wish came true when she moved from San Jose. She loves Lake County, its beauty and how friendly the people are. Her daughter and son, grandchildren, and even a great-grandchild live in San Jose. Kelly has always enjoyed crafts and also enjoys gardening. Once, she was given a few gourd plants that she planted and watched as they grew to cover a 30-foot fence with a beautiful vine and about 26 huge gourds. At the time, she had no idea what to do with them, so she stored them in the garage. Upon moving to Lake County, she met a group of gourd artists who happily took the gourds and created a form of art that, until then, Kelly had never seen. Then three years ago, Kelly, along with her sister, Sandie Coelho-Davis, and fellow gourd artist Marilyn Crayton formed the Bachelor Valley Gourd Club, which now has grown to 22 members. Together, they recently opened The Gourd Gallery. Kelly also shows beautiful, artistic gourds at craft fairs and gourd festivals and in local shops. Barbara LeVasseur Barbara LeVasseur has been self-employed for 27 years, painting on ceramic tiles with her own glazes for homes and businesses. She has produced custom tile gifts for Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table and Gardener’s Eden catalogs, as well as custom corporate gift tiles for the Heinz Corp. for the last 11 years. She is the owner of Frozen in Fire Tile.

She is a member of Lakeside Art, the Konocti Art Society and the Konocti Plein Air Painters. Diana Liebe Diana Liebe is a lifelong artist, winning her first competition at the age of 8. She holds a bachelor’s degree in fine art and education. Her experience in arts and crafts is varied, and she has been working in watercolors and hand-painted clothing for the past 10 years. Liebe keeps involved with the Lake County communities through several art groups including the Lake County Arts Council, Main Street Gallery, the Konocti Arts Society and the Plein Air Painters. She enjoys meeting new friends and staying active in the community. Carolyn Morris Carolyn Morris is a 30-year resident of Lake County. She and her husband are longtime business owners of a local video store and currently live in Buckingham Estates, where she enjoys painting garden scenes. She has two grown children who reside in the Petaluma area. Morris is a self-taught artist who has painted for many years on the side. Her favorite medium is that of oil painting and her goal is to spend more time painting and make a career out of what she loves. She enjoys painting local scenes and the vast opportunities that life in Lake County has offered for beautiful scenery and festive events to feature in her artwork. Patricia Oates Patricia Oates is a native of Marin County, and upon moving to Lake County 25 years ago, found a love of Mt. Konocti, much as she had loved Mt. Tamalpais in Marin. When Oates started painting in earnest, she painted only Mt. Konocti for several years but has since painted other subjects. She is always trying new ideas, new techniques and new palettes. Her teachers have been Lorraine Brady Hull, Sandra Powell, Pat Hopper and Jack Balance, and she has attended workshops with Hope Stevenson, Armand Cabrera, and Adele Pruitt. Her main interest is, and probably always will be, the landscape. Oates and her husband Jarth owned and operated a local dry-cleaning business for 19 years and were active in the Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce; she also was on the board of the Lakeport Main Street Association. Since selling the cleaners two years ago, Oates has devoted much of her time to her artwork and art events in the county. She belongs to the Konocti Plein Air Painters, the Konocti Art Society and the Lake County Arts Council. She is pleased to be a part of Lakeside Art and the Harbor Village Artists. Richard Seisser Richard Seisser finds real joy in painting with pastels, saying it has opened a window into another world, so vast, and more beautiful than any world he could imagine. He loves to paint the places he visits in nature with all its beauty and mystery and tries to visualize what is there and capture the unusual on paper. After graduating from art school in 1955, Seisser spent his early years sketching, drawing with pen and ink, and painting with watercolors and acrylics. He recently began working with pastels and has discovered that his years of sketching and drawing gave him the advantage needed to discover the soft vagueness of pastels, the distinctive line of pastel pencil and the brilliant contrast of rich pastel colors. Seisser became an avid reader and studied the works of master pastel artist Elizabeth Mowery. He credits patterning much of his style of pastel painting after her work. He and his wife Mary married in 1961 and set about a life together to raise two daughters. After many years in industry, he retired and came to California determined to become an artist, a good artist. He says he’s still working at it. Jackie Smythe Jackie Smythe has been painting for several years. She has taken classes at Mendocino College. Her art includes painting in oil and watercolor, and drawing in pencil, charcoal, and ink. She enjoys painting still life, peaceful landscapes, portraits and photography. Ruth Wagner Morgan Ruth Wagner Morgan was born in Detroit in 1950 and grew up in the suburbs. She studied painting and printmaking at Eastern Michigan University and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1972. She moved to California in 1975, where she worked as a draftsperson in engineering offices and painted whenever she could. She met and married artist and tile contractor Jackson Morgan in 1988 and lives in Jerusalem Valley with her family and an assortment of tame and wild creatures. She has shown and sold paintings at the Jessel Miller Gallery in Napa for the past 20 years. Luwana Quitiquit Luwana Quitiquit has been weaving traditional Pomo baskets for more than 30 years. She became interested in basketweaving as a student at the University of California at Berkeley and traveled many miles to study with renowned Pomo basketweaver Mabel McKay. As a student who also was raising a family, it was difficult for her to find time for weaving, but she was determined to learn. When Quitiquit retired and finished raising her family, she decided to dedicate her life to teaching basketry. She also has started a native nursery where she cultivates the plants needed for weaving because these materials have become scarce in the region. She also uses only indigenous materials, including handmade dogbane cordage and twine, in place of the usual commercial cotton cord or fish line. One of Quitquit's goals is to train her students to be instructors so they can then carry on the basketweaving tradition. In fact,she has taught representatives from the seven Lake County Pomo tribes traditional basketweaving techniques. She also now operates a retail gallery studio, called the Pomo Fine Arts Gallery at the Harbor Village Artists center. Harbor Village Artists is located at 6197 East Highway 20, adjacent to Lucerne Harbor Park, in Lucerne.

Whenever possible, show the subject in action and interacting with relevant props. The action should feel spontaneous and realistic. Each photo should feel like a glimpse into the hard-working real world of Texas A&M. Veterinarians with Dog Researcher in forest Graduate with Cap and Gown • Do aim for realistic and candid photos • Do show subjects engaged in activity • Do have working/studying subjects appear focused and studious • Do show a clear purpose/topic for working/studying photos (genetics, meteorology, etc.) • Do have recreational photos that are inclusive and lively • Do have subject dressed normally or inappropriate attire for the activity shown • Do show populated and active campus/building shots • Do show a range of compositional techniques across the entire photo library • Don't over-stage subjects • Don't have subjects interacting with or looking at the camera (except portraiture) • Don't show subjects unengaged with their setting (except portraiture) • Don't show generic studying shots where the purpose/topic is not clear • Don't over-brand subject's clothing • Don't show sedentary, unengaged subjects • Don't use flat, one-dimensional compositions • Don't over-light scenes Color Correction There are a few simple steps to creating consistent, rich photography for use across all marketing materials. The specific values will vary depending on the original image but the idea is to create a warm, crisp image, with clear contrast and vibrant color. STEP 1 - Create a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer. Increase the contrast to get rich blacks and sharp highlights. STEP 2 - Create a Color Balance adjustment layer. Add warm tones and reduce cool tones for highlights, mid-tones, and shadows. Be careful not to oversaturate. The colors should still appear natural but should have a subtle warmth. STEP 3 - Output the image in the appropriate color mode. RGB for digital, CMYK for print. Before and after comparison of color correction Original vs. Adjusted Tone-On-Tone Tone-on-tone photography can be used to complement full-color images or as a background element. Use the color values below to guide your editing processes.

It appears as subject matter in canvases that mourn the stripping and gentrification of L.A.'s neighborhoods; and the city's debris literally inhabits the surface of many of his paintings, which often incorporate an array of found materials. None are straightforward landscapes or portraits; rather, Foulkes condenses his impressions of the L.A. Basin into deliberate, tactile works that offer an abstracted sense of place. After all, the city's issues often are those of the country as a whole, and Foulkes offers his unwavering opinions about the... More >>>

After a restoration in 1998, the palace was reopened as the Coffee Museum. First installed in a rented hall in the city center, Bolsa do Café moved in 1922 to the palace, built especially for its activities, which operated until the late 1970s, when it was abandoned. Created by federal decree, it began its activities in 1917 in a small office on Rua XV de Novembro with Rua do Comércio, in the city center. The place had functional rooms that differed little from the internal environment of Commissioners or Exporters of the time. With the increase in the volume of negotiations, the construction of its own headquarters became a priority issue. And, from a small office to a palace, the story of the new headquarters of the Official Coffee Exchange architecturally reflects the symbolic construction of the space to be occupied by coffee in Brazil and abroad. Museu do Café, in addition of being one of main institutions responsible for preservation of coffee history in Brazil, is a reference of quality in commercializing this product by its coffee shop. With daily flow of 600 people and sales of about 450 cups of coffee per day, Cafeteria do Museu is awarded by Associação Brasileira da Indústria de Café (Abic) with Premium status, in national scope program Quality Coffee Circle. It also received by sequential seven years (2007 – 2013) the title of best Coffee Shop in Santos by Veja magazine. For these and many other reasons, Cafeteria do Museu is a mandatory stop for tourists and residents who pass at Centro Historic Center of Santos. Place in downstairs of Bolsa Oficial de Café building, Cafeteria do Museu offers a pleasant and comfortable environment, perfect to taste a good coffee. Its menu goes beyond than the traditional espresso. There’re several options of hot and cold drinks, beverages and coffee sweets, sandwiches and salty dishes in addition to most variable producing regions of coffee to taste for here or to go it. Bolsa Oficial de Café, space where Museu do Café is installed, is an exclusive architecture building. Richness of details inside and outside of palace reflects power of coffee economy to the time of its construction. Museu do Café is reference to relate grain course in Brazil and in the world. Its expositions approach details from plantation to cup, passing by market and curiosities about product. In April 1986, São Paulo State government, by decree 24,961, took actions for extinction of Bolsa Oficial de Café, which had been ceased its activities in 1960’s. All furniture, workers and own building, from that moment on, was Department of Finance’s responsibility. But, occupied only partly and without due conditions for its preservation, the building went through by degradation process, which resulted in threat of tower falling in 1996. A committee was created to analyze this situation and was found that such damages are not restricted only for tower, and a huge intervention in the building was required. This situation was taken to governor and, by decree # 40,822, in May, 10th 1996, a work group was established, made by public bodies and private companies to study the availability of creation of a Museu do Café in Bolsa Oficial de Café building. At first instance, and emergency feature, the group aimed to “save” Bolsa tower. Associação Comercial de Santos President, José Moreira da Silva, and Associação Centro Vivo President, Eduardo Carvalhaes Filho, highlighted the need of structure recovering of building by State Government and creation of a Museu do Café with support from private initiative. The restoration was approved and project chosen was from Oficina R, by architect Samuel Kruschin, begun in 1997. In the next year, in March 12th, was created the Associação dos Amigos do Museu do Café Brasileiro. In the beginning, the Museum offered visits only at a room named Auction Room, in addition to receiving temporary exhibitions and events. In 1999, Centro de Preparação do Café (CPC) was created with technical support by Sindicato da Indústria do Café no Estado de São Paulo (Sindicafe). CPC still have a great importance for education of baristas and recognition of this job.For economic availability of Museum and to contribute for disclosure of Brazilian coffee to visitors, mainly gourmet coffee, Museum Coffee Shop was opened in the following year.Which offers coffee from different Brazilian regions, in addition to sophisticated drinks. Its implementation was only possible with Funcafe budget and with support from Sindicafe and Abic. Other mark for Museum was in 2005, where long-term exhibition A trajetória do café no Brasil was opened. Assembled with own collection from Museum, acquired in a campaign for collection poll, and some lent pieces, it occupied part of downstairs and first floor of building.In 2008, the Association qualified as Social Culture Organization, assigning an agreement with State Secretariat of Culture in Sao Paulo. This transformation enabled a growth to Coffee Museum, extending its technical staff and his activities, reinforcing as reference among museums in the State and in Brazil. The construction of the Palace, in an eclectic style, is considered the most important work of the period, having been the first building of the style to be listed by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), in 2009. With copper domes, large sculptures, stained glass, marbles, the work of foreign craftsmen and works of art built the discourse that related the coffee elite to the first pioneers as pioneer builders of a nation captained by São Paulo. The panels and stained glass by Benedito Calixto, in the portentous trading room, are of fundamental importance in the visual translation of this speech: in the triptych, the painter imagines the scene of the reading of the Vila de Santos charter by Braz Cubas; on the side panels, the representation of Vila de Santos in 1822 compared to the city in 1922; and, finally, the stained glass window that creates – with pennants, agriculture, the port, and coffee – a mythology of the nation. Related Post This complex and dense set of information, combined with several Masonic symbols – such as the six-pointed star on the floor of the trading floor, the organization of the chair and the columns – send a clear message of the strength of the presence of coffee in the wealth of Brazil. The building Bolsa Oficial de Café building is known by its eclectic architect, resulting from combination of different architectonic movements in a single work without producing new stile. Neoclassic and Baroque stiles are predominated at building. Stained Glass Entry In entry of Museum, a small stained glass above the doors with symbol of “United States of Brazil”, name of the country in the opening this building, was observed and it remained there until 1967. Brazil Coat of Arms was also observed, composed by two branches: one of coffee and another of smoke, which represented two most important crops for Brazil in Proclamation of Republic in 1889. Auction Room Place where deals were performed which determined daily quotes of coffee bags. Tradings were performed in 1922 Auction Room by the end of 1950’s. Composed by 81 chairs (including the president one), Auction Room also has one stained glass and three paintings from Sao Paulo-Benedicto Calixto painter. Currently, due to stateliness and beauty, it’s one of main attractions of Museum. Located in the corner of Tuiuti Street, Clocktower has about 40 meters, i.e., double of height of Bolsa Oficial de Café. At the top, four sculptures are placed, which represent agriculture, commerce, industry and Sailor. Previously, notion of time was made by church bells. It’s believed that when clocks arrived, a meaningful change in population routine was observed, and Bolsa was used as reference of time in people everyday. There’s few information about this coffee baggage man. Jacinto was a coffee baggage man who piled up to 5 bags of 132.28lb each, summarizing about 661lb in this back: then, he became a legend. Some of them said he was from Portugal; others said he participated in strength contest at pier and he received the nickname “Samson of pier”. The only real information received was postcards dated in the first decade of 20th century, where his picture appears. Today dockworkers and baggers agree that the maximum weight supported by a person is about 264lb (two bags): due to this fact, some of them doubt if that bag weighted, indeed, about 132lb. Old placements This space where today is Preservation, Research, and Reference Center, in downstairs floor, was Cash Settlement, where securities negotiated in trading were realized and then paid. Coffee barons watched trading sessions in mezzanine. The remaining floor was divided into rooms where Cash Settlement, Union Camber of Public Funds, and headquarters of companies were located. The large rating room at old Bolsa Oficial de Café was placed in an insulator place on second floor and it was linked to secretariat by special elevator for coffee samples. The remaining floor was particularly designated to headquarters of exporter companies. The third floor was specially projected for intermediator offices. More than 30 compartments were available. In current exhibition room “Coffee and Work”, in the past, was “Secretariat of Bolsa”, whose communication for exterior was done by entrance under tower, where deliveries of coffee samples to be classified in rating offices were performed on second floor. The third floor was used until 1970s as Clube da Bolsa. This place had library, play rooms and a restaurant, which was opened for partners and their visitors. Coffee Museum One of the main tourist spots in the city of Santos, the Coffee Museum was created in 1998 with the aim of preserving and disseminating the historic relationship between coffee and the country. Among objects and documents that make up its collection, it is possible to see how the evolution of coffee growing and the political, economic and cultural development of the country are closely linked. The close relationship between coffee growing and the development of Brazil is recorded in the long-term exhibition “The trajectory of coffee in Brazil”. Divided into three modules – Coffee and work, Coffee and new routes and Santos and the port – the exhibition allows visitors a real journey through time. The tour through history begins with the arrival of the first seedlings of the plant in the country, goes through the professionalization of plantations and labor, the arrival of Japanese and European immigrants to work in the fields and helps to contextualize, through panels and models, wealth and progress driven by coffee, such as the expansion of the railway network in the State of São Paulo and the development of the port of Santos, for example. The Coffee Museum also regularly holds temporary exhibitions that contemplate periods and specific aspects of the history of coffee in Brazil. In its facilities, the Coffee Museum also has an Information and Documentation Center – which has in its collection several publications and documents about coffee and its history and is open to the public for free visitation – and the Coffee Preparation Center, which offers courses related to knowledge and preparation of the drink. More than the main responsible for preserving the history of coffee, the Coffee Museum is also a reference in the commercialization of the product through its cafeteria. Inaugurated in 2000, the Cafeteria do Museu has on its menu several beverage options that have coffee as their main ingredient. It also has a wide variety of grains, produced in different regions of Brazil, available to visitors to enjoy on the spot or take home. Currently the Museum Cafeteria works with Cerrado de Minas, Sul de Minas, Alta Mogiana, Chapadão do Ferro, Cafeteria Blend, Orgânico, Vale da Grama, and Jacu Bird Coffee. The latter is the most expensive and rare coffee in Brazil, obtained from the beans expelled by the bird Jacu, which feeds on the fruits of coffee. Education of Museu do Café is the dialog connection of institution with visitors, going beyond offering exhibitions. The main objective is to transmit the rich history of coffee in simple and ludic way for public, perform an excellent service and make the Museum as an acknowledged reference place in learning propagation.

Often invoked to protect architectural heritage, AR can involve historically significant buildings. But applied more generally to vacant or under-utilized structures of any vintage, AR reimagines buildings to accommodate uses (and growth sectors) not envisioned when originally constructed: office buildings as housing; old factories as luxury lofts; industrial buildings as design studios; department stores as mixed-use complexes. It sets into motion the type of development that attracts residents, businesses and visitors to transform moribund neighborhoods into vibrant urban landscapes. It’s even environmentalist: Adaptive Re-use projects recycle by definition, conserving materials and reducing transport-related emissions. Where AR moves housing close to jobs, it can create longer-term traffic reductions and help reverse urban sprawl. Not surprisingly, many jurisdictions encourage Adaptive Reuse with tax incentives and sensitive applications of building codes. AR often entails restoring a historic building to its original appearance, while requiring major structural and system upgrades: a paradox that may hide new technologies among old construction. Reagan Ranch Visitor Center Ronald Reagan Ranch Visitor Center For the Ronald Reagan Ranch Visitor Center in Santa Barbara, for example, MATT Construction helped a client transform a building of local historical significance into a lovely new cultural attraction that helped improve the overall neighborhood, encouraging tourists (and their dollars) to visit and linger in the area. Designed to accommodate less affluent train travelers, the vintage 1905 Neal Hotel existed symbiotically for decades with its neighbor, the Southern Pacific Railroad Station. Both declined as car travel increased. Young America’s Foundation bought the dilapidated hotel in 1998 as a convenient visitor center for the rather remote Ronald Reagan Ranch, planning a three-story museum, theater and library dedicated to the memory and philosophy of our 40th president. Supportive of the project, the city was primarily interested in conserving the building’s unique poured-in-place solid concrete exterior wall system, constraining construction to within the existing building perimeter. Hochauser & Blatter Architecture & Planning designed a new reinforced concrete structure with new seismic shear walls and columns to be concealed inside the original shell, plus all new first, second and third floors, an elliptical grand staircase, elevator, and rooftop deck. Construction was challenging, especially given the underlying high water table and soil of compressible clays. After testing numerous foundation systems, MATT selected a new Composite “Helical” Steel Pipe Pile Foundation (CHPPTM) System—in which a helical lead section connected to a large diameter, easily reinforced and extended steel pipe pile is screwed down into the ground—as the most cost effective solution. Former Catholic Seminary Adapted into a Private School Former Catholic Seminary Adapted into a Private School Using a contractor experienced in historical restoration often brings exceptional value to an Adaptive Reuse project. On one former Catholic seminary that MATT adapted, originally constructed of stone and unreinforced masonry, required significant restoration and seismic improvement before it could open as a private school. A challenging example was the seismic reinforcement of four entry pillars, each 35 ft high and 4 ft square, constructed solely of hundreds of intricately stacked, unmortared stones. The historic requirement was to disassemble each pillar, labeling, documenting and photographing each stone to memorialize its position; install a reinforced steel concrete column; then reassemble the pillars exactly as before, shaving the innermost rocks to accommodate the inserted column. MATT Construction knew that dry center coring, the same process we employed at the Natural History Museum, could achieve the same result at lower cost and less risk to the pillars. By drilling out a 16” diameter circular vertical core in each intact rock pillar, and using a proprietary grout to anchor a reinforced steel cage firmly inside the column from base to stabilizing top plate, MATT saved the client an estimated $1 million just on these four entry columns. Center Coring Operation Used on Historic Walls of the Natural History Museum of LA County Center Coring Operation Used on Historic Walls of the Natural History Museum of LA County Cost saving measures are even more important in AR projects that don’t involve historic buildings, since these are typically ineligible for many of the financial incentives that make historical restorations economically worthwhile. Here, careful analysis must be undertaken to ensure that repurposing an existing structure is an affordable and practical alternative to building something entirely new. Courtesy of Lever Architects -- Adaptive Reuse for Animation Studio Courtesy of Lever Architects — Adaptive Reuse for Animation Studio A case in point is the fast-track transformation of an attractively large warehouse into a state-of-the-art animation studio with workspaces, screening facilities, editing bays and recording booths, conference rooms, and amenities. Lever Architects and MATT Construction used careful design and construction to carve out several distinct compartments within the open space while providing sufficient seismic strength, infrastructure capable of supporting current and future graphic-intensive computer systems, and inconspicuous cabling, ducts and conduits despite existing concrete “waffle” ceilings. The team poured a lightweight concrete layer above the existing “waffle” ceiling, carefully measured to provide required conduit penetrations only where needed. Waffle Ceiling used from Existing Warehouse Waffle Ceiling used from Existing Warehouse Offset “skylight monitors” provide indirect light without heat gain. To isolate the building from the frequent rush of trains immediately outside the building, interior perimeter walls were installed 6” away from the brick façade and filled with insulation; and the existing concrete slab was sawcut at acoustically sensitive areas. Recording Booths were built as discrete boxes separated by insulating material and air gaps, and with no conduit allowed to touch both walls. With additional acoustic measures—including heavy Krieger doors and oversized mechanical ducts to maintain a low-velocity air flow—these rooms, within this huge, old warehouse, achieved a Noise Control (NC) design goal rating of 20. The studio has received many awards, including AIA \| Portland’s Honor Award, LABJ’s Commercial Real Estate Awards – Best Tenant Improvement, and WWCA’s Project of the Year Award for Commercial Interiors. Some final approaches to Adaptive Reuse projects: • Assess your building’s structural adaptability to meet modern earthquake codes and other physical requirements; • Detail the extent and nature of the adaptations involved, including technology rich features that necessitate more-capable-than-usual MEP, cooling capacity, climate controls, vibration dampening, acoustical enhancements, etc.; • Map out the most efficient plan for accomplishing the work; • Provide realistic, reliable cost estimates; • Offer new technology options and value engineering suggestions that will ensure you achieve your objectives within budget and schedule; • Work closely with Historic representatives to ensure preservation of the historic fabric of buildings that are on an historic state or federal register.

This major solo exhibition was the culmination of Jill Randall’s 3-year Artists Residency at Parys Mountain Copper Mine, Amlwch, Anglesey, once the world’s leading centre of copper production. It was developed in conjunction with the Curator Andrew Deathe, and supported by Awards from the University of Salford. Parys Mountain is an extraordinary place, an extreme environment, with its own “terrible beauty” of amazing colours, a toxic landscape where corrosion and time are accelerated. Beneath the skin of the landscape lie hidden voids, the vast underground network of abandoned mine shafts where peculiar life forms grow in the complete absence of light. The heart of the exhibition was a series of 10 huge, brightly-coloured drawings created in and by the abandoned underground mine workings. Physically and practically very difficult to site and retrieve, they have been carried down rickety ladders in pitch blackness. The exhibition also included prints from etching plates bitten in sulphurous pools , sculpture inspired by mining and geological processes, video and archival maps, and was created especially for the exhibition space. The exhibition provided an opportunity to disseminate to new audiences the outcomes of an Artist/Industry partnership project, and demonstrated how contemporary art practice can be used to expose and reinterpret information about materials science , unlocking the creative and intellectual potential of copper. It exhibited archival materials from Amlwch, Anglesey for the first time, placing visual art works next to historic and industrial objects and artefacts connected with the copper industry. The bilingual exhibition catalogue contained a major commissioned essay from University of Salford Lecturer and Researcher Brendan Fletcher, and an essay from Robert Protheroe-Jones, a scientist from The National Waterfront Museum, Swansea. The catalogue described the context and making of the work, and copies were available free to museum visitors, providing an important legacy for the project. The exhibition attracted 75,000 visitors and offered alternative interpretations of industrial heritage through practical sculpture workshops and Artists Talks to large numbers of people across age ranges during the course of the show. ….”Randall’s residency at Parys Mountain re-examines this important site and her response is revelatory. Here is a site that allows us to see the planet as a living organism, one that has been plundered in order to reap its mineral harvest and her work forces us to muse on the unhelpful distinction between the organic and the inorganic; it is not only flora and fauna that live and breathe. It is also typical of her approach that though copper may have been the rich seam that helped give meaning and definition to this place she now finds beauty in the toxicity, residue and slurry, the earth that was left behind. However the success of the project lies in the way she negotiates this terrain and is able, also, to present a paean to our industrial past, to the workers and labourers who toiled and helped build Amlwch and Swansea, and how this rich seam of copper forged communities of people tied to the earth and alive to its riches.” (From the catalogue essay by Brendan Fletcher, Artist, Writer and Lecturer on the BA Visual Arts Course at the University of Salford.)

Arthur received a scholarship to Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and was among a handful of Black students attending the college. His advisors tried to steer him toward architecture, suggesting he would be able to find a job in the civil sector. However, Arthur eventually majored in sculpture which proved to be invaluable training for his eventual profession in jewelry design. Upon graduating in 1940, he began working with local youth organizations and at night, he took a jewelry-making class at New York University. Those classes and a friendship/mentorship with jewelry designer Winifred Mason would help guide his artistic career. Model Wearing Art Smith’s “Modern Cuff” Bracelet, circa 1948, Photo Peter Basch Arthur eventually became Mason’s full time assistant in her jewelry studio. In 1946 he opened his own studio in the village, but moving to an “Italian block” became an issue, making him feel dangerously unwanted. Not long after, he would move to West Fourth Street, closer to Washington Square Park where he felt more at home. The new location was also a great business move, and his career began to flourish. Arthur Smith jewelry sketches Arthur sold his jewelry in craft stores in some major cities and by the 1950s, he established business relationships with larger department stores like Bloomingdales and Milton Heffing in New York City as well as other exclusive boutiques around the country.

Born in Sweden in 1869, Axel David Eriksson came to Duluth when he was just four years old, and his father changed the family name to Ericson at that time. They first lived in the heart of Finn Town along St. Croix Avenue. When he was nine years old, an infection cost David his leg. As he recovered he spent hours drawing, developing his love of and talent for fine art. At 17 he left for New York to study at the Art Student’s League, supported himself designing jewelry for Tiffany & Co. and as a magazine illustrator. He traveled to Paris in 1890 and studied under McNeill Whistler (most famous for painting a portrait of his mother). In 1902 he returned to Duluth, later moving to New York and Paris, but returning to the U.S. at the outbreak of World War I. He would move between Duluth, Europe, and the artists’ colony at Provincetown for the rest of his life, settling in his home town after his wife died in 1943 to paint and teach classes at the Duluth Art Institute. His work includes six large murals for Hibbing High School and a series of altar paintings for Duluth’s St. George Serbian Orthodox Church; the Tweed Museum of Art has a collection of his smaller works. Read Peter Spooner’s expanded biography of Ericson here. Knute Heldner’s 1931 painting of fellow Duluth painter and Swedish immigrant David Ericson. In 1931, Ericson and Heldner painted reciprocal portraits in France. Ericson had been to Europe five or six times, including extensive stays in France. Not counting his birth, it was Heldner’s first time there. (Image: Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota Duluth).

Please join us on 22nd October 2018 for a guest lecture on the topic WONDER WOOD. Nikolay Belousov was born 1954 in Moscow. Graduated 1980 from Moscow Architectural Institute, Department of Residential and Public Buildings. Works as partner at “Belousov architects” and owner of “Project OBLO”, factory for the production of wooden objects, the town of Galich, Kostroma region. His field of interest is wood and its usage in architecture. To create his objects architect Nikolai Belousov choose the traditional and most Russian of all technologies – a log house. In his work, paradoxically, and not contradicting each other, ancient receptions and modernist form-building are combined.Based on the archaic log, they create modern spaces and volumes, each of which contains its own finds and insights. Please do attend. The details are: Guest lecturer: architect Nikolay Belousov Date/time: Monday, 22. October 2018, at 17:30 Place: Motiv Room The lecture –WONDER WOOD is an insight into the projects and experience working with wood of architect Nikolay Belousov.

After four months of restoration work, the 11 paintings of a Mumbai-based artist adorn the walls with a fresh look. It was only when the restorer told them that the Bank realised that the paintings were part of a priceless collection. If art is an investment, then maintaining them is equally a challenge and many individuals and institutions are increasingly realising it. For C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation, maintaining art work is something that is done round the year, given the vast collection of old paintings that beautify its walls – from Raja Ravi Varma to Rabindranath Tagore to Amrita Shergil. “Taking care of treasure” “The humidity level of the city and the problem of insects are some reasons why maintenance is an ongoing work at the Centre and we have employees who are trained in conservation work,” says Nanditha Krishna, Director of the Foundation, adding that “taking care of them is like looking after one's treasure.” Conservation of art also comes at a prize. “For instance, each of the paintings of IOB would have fetched at least a lakh even without restoration,” says V. Jeyaraj, Director, Hepzibah Institute of Heritage Conservation, who worked on them. Nearly 10 paintings of the Prince of Arcot and of other collectors are some of the work the Institute has taken up. The Government Egmore Museum also undertakes restoration work. Usually, institutions approach them. According to V.R. Aparajitha, an art conservator in private practice, restoration has not been in the forefront until recent years when people have begun attaching sentimental value to it or see it as an investment. “I have seen people who are not very affluent but still want to restore art. The awareness is picking up,” she says. Private art galleries such as Art World and Vinyasa Art Gallery also take up restoration work. According to art conservators, cost of the work is determined by time, treatment and effort put in. “Preserving techniques could start from Rs. 2,000 where it involves say, just changing the mounting of an art work. As the degree of damage increases, the costs might go up to a lakh,” says Ms. Aparajitha. More In: Chennai

Karesensui literally means “dry mountain water.” Resorting to simplest materials – rocks, gravel and sand – designers of these "dry" gardens create three-dimensional landscapes, in which water is represented by its material opposite – sand; and rocks, which the Japanese revere as sacred objects, symbolize mountains and islands. Inspired by traditional ink wash or sumi-e paintings, in which meanings are expressed with most limited means and in which absence or empty space is as important as what is present, karesensui gardens are to be experienced as works of art. They might celebrate and connect people with Nature, but hardly anything in them is natural. Framed by walls, fences, verandas or shoji doors, these gardens present a condensed, distilled version of Cosmos. Rather than walk or touch anything, visitors are encouraged to interpret them — confront multiple contradictions, mysteries and riddles, which more often than not cannot be solved. But in Zen, it’s the process – the Way -- that is far more important than the end result. It is often assumed that karesensui gardens are created as spaces for Zen meditation. Wrongly so. In fact, their importance for Zen spirituality is related to the patience and focused attention with which Zen monks meticulously rake, sweep, brush, clean, and weed them. Sisyphean absurdity of such endeavors – tentativeness, ephemerality and instability commonly associated with moving sand – can be viewed as a metaphor of something trivial and futile. But this is exactly what Zen elevates and what forms the basis of its spiritual discipline. Paradoxically, it’s through mundane, repetitive tasks that man is able to challenge and tame powerful Nature. Every sweeping and re-raking of gravel and sand creates the garden anew even though it remains the same as before. Thus, against the passage of time -- despite the wind, rain, earthquakes, gravity and weeds – karesensui garden maintains its identity; it does not change, does not grow old, doesn’t disappear. The monochromatic, highly abstract compositions of karesensui gardens lend themselves well to black and white photography in which forms are condensed and abstracted to offer some interpretation rather than realistic depiction of reality. My images taken in multiple temples of Kyoto and Kamakura over the span of three years are not intended to represent any particular place or garden. Instead, they focus on the metaphoric nature of Zen gardens – the contradictions that we are invited to confront, riddles that we are not quite able to solve, repetitiveness of our experiences and fragmentary nature of our perceptions. saihoi-ji: moss and serendipity

Humphreys will support urban planning and community design. Mark E. Humphreys Texas Tech University officials announced today (Sept. 25) a $1.5 million gift to the College of Architecture from Mark E. Humphreys. The gift will establish the Mark E. Humphreys AIA Chair in Urban Design to permanently support a faculty position and that individual’s research. “The generosity of university friends like Mr. Humphreys enables Texas Tech University to continue elevating its standard of teaching and research,” Texas Tech President M. Duane Nellis said. “Investments in our colleges and our research are investments in the future of our students. The impact of this gift will greatly benefit those who walk through the doors of our architecture program.” A member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Humphreys is founder and CEO of Humphreys & Partners Architects. Headquartered in Dallas, the international firm specializes in multifamily architectural services and created The Big House design concept for multifamily apartments. A 1978 graduate of the Texas Tech College of Architecture, Humphreys has a long history of supporting the college, recruiting at the college’s annual career fair and serving as a guest lecturer. He previously established a scholarship endowment at Texas Tech in the name of Humphreys & Partners Architects. Humphreys et al. (l-r) David Driskill, President Nellis, Humphreys, Dean Vernooy “I am honored and humbled to receive such respected accolades in my profession. I am in such venerated company and I look forward to witnessing the students at Texas Tech’s College of Architecture benefit from the resources that the Mark E. Humphreys AIA Chair in Urban Design will afford them,” Humphreys said. “As a student, I attended an urban architecture design class. At the time, the classes were not yet a curriculum favorite; it was a unique experience and I am thrilled to contribute to such a cutting-edge program. Humphreys & Partners would not have succeeded without the Texas Tech architecture program.” The urban design program at Texas Tech focuses on revitalizing urban areas to create more people-friendly environments and encourage economic development. Faculty and students in urban design are best known for their participation in Urban Tech, a program that teaches architecture students to help local governments and civic organizations redesign municipal areas through laboratory experiences and public exhibitions. Through its community outreach, the program developed plans last year for the High Cotton Center, a facility for Lubbock’s homeless population. The endowed chair supports teaching and research at a time when Texas Tech is building on its reputation as a national research university. Adding to the gift’s potential impact, $1 million of the gift is eligible for state matching funds through the Texas Research Incentive Program. “Gifts like these have a transformative impact on the academic reputation of a college,” said Andrew Vernooy, dean of the College of Architecture. “Endowed chairs enable us to recruit and retain world-class faculty, and in turn, this enriches the classroom experience and helps bring top students to our university.” This is the second endowed chair to be created in the College of Architecture. Humphreys also donated additional funds to create a graduate fellowship in the name of Dudley Thompson, a former interim dean of the College of Architecture. The fellowship’s first recipient is Ivan Garcia, a graduate student from El Paso.

Try using this: http://www.u2.com/news/title/2018-subscription-renewals-now-open/news/ There is a link at the end of the text, that worked for me... 2. I had the same problem earlier... try using this link: http://www.u2.com/news/title/2018-subscription-renewals-now-open/news/ That worked for me... 3. How did you renew without the renewal button? Or am I missing something ? 4. maybe who knows, but I definitely know I used my presale codes for the Joshua Tree tour so I shouldn't be eligible for this presale at all... 5. Yes so annoying! because the day the tour got announced it said on my account page that I had to renew as well, I waited because it was so busy on the website... but now it completely disappeared from my Accountinfo page... dont know what to do either, it is all so unclear... 6. I wanted to renew my subscription, just to be sure because it expires 31st of Januari in 2018. But it already says Im verified and im in the eXPERIENCE group without renewing... 7. 41 245 congrats padawan!!!! Just got out of bed, going to see some art to today ? two of my friends won a big prize with their graduation work and super proud of them 8. 41, 211 good morning... on my way to college... long day ahead... 9. 41 200 I'm sorry was incredibly busy with studying tho Good to hear that! Maybe I try it again in the future when I have a little bit more time on my hands 10. deciding if I should do a phd in fine art right after I graduate this year, or focus more on being an artist in residencies and do the phd later in life...:blink: 1. Show previous comments 4 more 2. jaimearodriguez do it later. More schooling is different than more education. Some real life in between will be helpful down the line. 3. Shannon387 If you are seeking to be an artist I'd go do that. A degree will only get you so far. With an arts degree, unless you want to go work for a museum or something, is really only a check mark on a job application. Real life experience via internships or jobs will get you further. Just my "two cents." I think you'd find most companies will only really care about your artwork. Best of luck! :) 4. jenmusic Sorry for the late response, @jaimearodriguez and @Shannon387 but thank you for the replies! I recently decided to go for my artwork and maybe a phd later... At the moment I'm doing research for my final projects... fingers crossed :D 11. 41 194 Nice , I used to love swimming... haven't done that in a while. Quick question, what is the green plus thing? Ive got +33 but no idea how I got that... 12. This is def true!!! Saw the message as well 13. 37 696 o and the three little paintings on the right are not mine btw only the big one! 14. 37 695 actually its a photograph but a lot of my work is inspired by painters, so in my work in a way I try to make you guess, is it a painting or a photo I also have 6 a4 size pictures, printed and framed.

This is the second year that I have created a weekly art journal page following the prompts over on Nina Ribena's Art Journal Prompts and More. Last year each week had a different prompt until December, when the prompt of festive was given for all five weeks (see my journal flip through for 2017 HERE). This year the idea of a monthly prompt has been continued and as the name of the group indicates, other forms of responses have been encouraged in place of journaling from time to time. I have enjoyed applying each prompt to an art journal page, which has encouraged me to think outside the box many times. January's prompt was words and the first one that I chose was my intention for my art work in 2018. I started working with new types of media (acrylic inks here). My third page was later improved by the addition of players' autographs after an open training session at the Bet365 Stadium. I do love this colour combination. February's prompt was 'Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle' which allowed me to raid my bit box. I also have a selection of die cuts, left over from previous projects. Using paper towel mop up sheets as a background is another favourite technique of mine. Another paper towel background. March's prompt was 'Friends' to celebrate 5000 members in the FB group. I enjoyed working my pages around different quotes about friends. April was the first five Sunday month and the prompt was Spring as you can see. I played around with Distress Oxide backgrounds for a few weeks. Used a stamp/punch set that has been in my stash for ages. And finally tried an alcohol ink on Yupo paper technique to create a background. For May, I had to start thinking outside the box. The prompt was 'Trade It' and I had to find a way of incorporating items such as Artist Trading Coins onto a page. Postcards were a little easier to include. ATCs weren't too bad. Inchies, Twinchies and Thrinchies were my biggest challenge of the month. June's prompt was 'Repeat after me' with a sub prompt each week. The first was circles. The second was Mandalas. The third 'Abstract'. And finally 'Retiform', a technique that I had never tried before. July's prompt was the most challenging of the year up to that point. The overall prompt was puzzles and games, but the first week was altered dominoes. Followed by altered puzzle pieces. Altered playing cards was the third sub prompt. Word and number puzzles was the fourth. As it was another 5 Sunday month, the fifth week was a wild card within the monthly theme. I chose to base a page on my favourite board game. August's prompt was 'On Your Travels', but the first sub prompt was painted pebbles. This was another one which made me have to think outside the box. The remaining weeks I simply based around different travel/holiday themes. And so to September, another 5 Sunday month. This month's theme is right up my street as it is 'Art Journal Frenzy'. Week 1's sub prompt was Galaxy and I went off at a tangent with my page. Week 2 was 'Anything Goes'. I haven't completed week 3 yet (Choose colours outside your comfort zone), but week 4: Collage was a most enjoyable page to complete. I am hoping to catch up with week 3 for September tomorrow, when I will ask my friend to give me a colour combination to work with. You can pop back on Thursday to see what she comes up with. One further week to complete after that for September and it will be time for a new prompt. I wonder what October will bring? No comments:

The project set out to bridge the perceived gap between art and science to tackle the crucial but complex challenge of decarbonising the UK’s heat. As the first ten weeks of the residency come to a close, the team reflect on their experience of collaborating across their disciplines. They detail their attempt to create an engaging and emotive communicative approach to share the issue with a wider audience. The exhibition of the artist’s final work will be launching in February 2022. Mark Howard, Project Manager: Zero Carbon Heat and the Built Environment (Left); Sophie Whinney, Energy Analyst (Middle); Karenza Sparks, Visual Artist: Illustration and Animation (Right). What did you think of the process? Mark: Changing the way we heat our buildings, though technically achievable, is without doubt a tremendous challenge. Yet a possibly bigger challenge is getting landlords, tenants, and homeowners to support this change. Whilst it feels to me like public awareness of the issue is at a decade long high, it is hard for most people to really engage with what this might concretely mean for how they heat their home – a great communication challenge lies ahead. Working with Karenza, an artist who came to this with no pre-conceived ideas about heat, has been refreshing and rewarding. I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge of the sector, challenging myself not to pass on too many of my own conclusions about what might be ‘best’, whilst also not giving unrealistic ideas about the limits of different solutions. For example, I was regularly forced to remind myself where the barriers to change were technical (there’s only so much biomass available to use as a fuel), political (gas is cheap and electricity is expensive), or psychological (most of us are reluctant to embrace change, particularly when it controls how we keep warm). Sophie: Contributing to this collaborative project was a valuable learning experience for me; refining how I communicate and consider different methods of engaging the public with the scientific and socio-political concepts of decarbonising heat. I found particularly interesting and perhaps a bit surprising how quickly we were having deeply personal conversations around heat technologies in the sessions we ran with the wider team. I think this aspect, the intimate reality of people making their homes warmer spaces, is often underappreciated. Karenza: For me, this project was primarily about communication, both in research and result, and making a little contribution to the dissemination of knowledge at large. I think there was some initial tension in my practice deciding how to navigate between a scientific and artistic approach to tackle the subject. It was a slightly daunting process of trying to clearly capture a large amount of technical information, whilst trying to honour the incredible care that I encountered by those trying to improve our heat system. This resulted in a new route altogether, which blended both the personal and the technical, the artistic and the scientific. Sketches of characters representing technologies (Left); Bio Methane character figurine (Middle); Sketches of character card designs (Right). What do you think of the outcome? Karenza: During the course of this residency, I discovered a whole world which I never knew existed. It has been an incredible learning experience and privilege to have had access to Regen’s resources, to have their energy experts patiently explain very complicated systems to me, and to be able to speak with Community Energy members. In my conversations, I fluctuated between pessimism and optimism on the subject: on one hand continually discovering new challenges that exist in our current energy system, but on the other, finding out that there are countless people working hard to solve these problems and help each other. Ultimately, this residency has made me want to collaborate and engage with more people outside of my known sphere, and has highlighted the incredible value in collaborating and communicating across disciplines and industries. Sophie: It was no easy task for Karenza to work from scratch and to visually capture the dynamic and personal facet to a topic that is sometimes thought to be slightly dull. Yet, I think the rich learnings I got from our collaborative process and Karenza’s creation of personified heat technologies which ignite conversation show that it has been an important and successful exploration to pursue. Mark: Through astute questions and active listening, Karenza mapped out new ways of thinking and engaging with decarbonising heat. The characters that she has created are for me a brilliant new take on technologies I would consider ‘old friends’, bringing them to life with personalities that ring true to their roles and capacities in our energy system. I am sure that this project will help enliven people’s interest in what can be a bit of a dry topic, and I hope, help them understand it even better. Sketches and progress of Digitisation character.

Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight In 2008, when she was 75, the artist Alison Knowles made a salad (with some help) for 3,000 people in the cavernous Turbine Hall of Tate Modern. From the viewing bridge that arches several stories above the installation space, she poured a blend of oil and vinegar down onto a huge mound of greens cradled in a gigantic grass-colored tarp held up by people below. Somehow the salad was tossed with the dressing, then shared among the spectators. The salad is something of her signature. By Alison Knowles: A Retrospective (1960-2022), BAMPFA, through Feb. 12, 2023 In 1962, she’d famously chopped up a more modest version of the feast at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. During a dance performance with a score stating, in full, “Make a salad,” she used microphones to broadcast the amplified sounds of knives cutting through lettuce back at her audience. And she has since reprised the salad — one of the earliest works of food-based performance art — at different scales, many times since, around the globe. Now 89 and still making art, Knowles is being celebrated at BAMPFA with a major exhibition. By Alison Knowles: A Retrospective (1960-2022) is a lavish 60-year survey of her avant-garde, ground-breaking, unorthodox, playfully absurdist, influential and difficult-to-classify artistic practice. Knowles’ work evades categories, yet it anticipated and helped shape the development of experimental, conceptual, multi-media and performance artmaking in the U.S. and beyond for decades. Karen Moss. Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight Organized by guest curator Karen Moss, this is a welcome addition to the recent spate of museum shows devoted to the work of senior female artists who were marginalized while young and are now finally receiving the recognition they deserved all along. Moss has studied Knowles’ work for 30 years, and By Alison Knowles is a scholarly tour de force of dedicated research. It’s densely packed with an illustrated timeline (by Lucia Fabio) of the artist’s career and copious archival material, wall texts, labels, artist’s books, printed ephemera, photographs, video documentation of performances and interviews, and many, many objects — paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, installations, sound art, computer-generated poetry and more — all crammed into spaces a bit too small for their contents. The first gallery presents a chronological account of Knowles’ early career, focusing on work produced during her involvement with Fluxus — an international, interdisciplinary network of composers and artists founded in 1960 by Lithuanian American George Maciunas and inspired by the ideas and experimental music of composer John Cage. Knowles credits Cage, a lifelong friend and artistic collaborator, for liberating her artistically. His ideas “helped me escape the ravening jaws of Abstract Expressionism,” she once said. Knowles was the lone woman among Fluxus’ founders, who included Nam June Paik, George Brecht, Joseph Beuys and Dick Higgins (Knowles’ husband); Yoko Ono, Alice Hutchins, and Shigeko Kubota joined later. Inside the gallery. Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight Fluxus had roots in Dada, the revolutionary early 20th century art movement that celebrated absurdity as the only rational response to the horrors of the first World War. Like Dada, Fluxus promoted “anti-art.” It advanced the notion that creativity should be democratic, open to everyone. It opposed commercialism. It privileged process over product. Knowles, 89, greets attendees of the show. Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight In early work like her still ongoing and increasingly elaborate, often-communal, performance project The Identical Lunch, Knowles adopted the Fluxus values of simplicity, humor and anti-commercialism, using whatever materials were at hand to make art and turning mundane daily activities into performance pieces. The tuna sandwich she ate daily at a local diner (because, she explained, it was the only edible thing on the menu) became a performance score: “A tuna fish sandwich on wheat toast with butter and lettuce, no mayo, and a cup of soup or glass of buttermilk.” She performed The Identical Lunch at the same time each day for two years, often inviting friends and colleagues to join her, and documented their participation with photographs that became silkscreened portraits, which are on view in the show. Chance and accident were important to Fluxus. So was collaboration among artists and across art forms, as well as interaction with the audience or spectator. All these elements are present in Knowles’ early computer-generated poem — a collaboration with experimental composer and Bell Labs resident James Tenney — that ultimately provided the title for another of her ongoing projects, the inhabitable public sculpture The House of Dust. Its most recent iteration was made this year, from mud extruded by a 3-D printer, and will stand through 2022 in Wiesbaden, Germany. (You can rent it for an overnight stay.)

Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight The second gallery is non-chronological, presenting pieces that illustrate the wide range and eclectic materials and forms that characterize Knowles’ artistic production from the 1970s on. Two of the most engaging works involve dried beans, which Knowles has a thing about. Bean Turner, Coral and Bean Turner, Brown are wall-mounted sound sculptures crafted from dried beans and flax paper. Formally and materially alluring, they sound when activated like the cactus rainsticks made by indigenous people in Central America. The Bean Garden — a small sandbox filled with white beans — was initially intended for visitors to walk on with bare feet, enjoying their soft music. Alas, that’s no longer allowed for safety reasons, but you can run your hands through them. Allison Knowles’ The Bean Garden. Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight Also striking are Three Songs (2016), a series of sepia ink prints on vertical vellum scrolls that resemble delicate Asian calligraphy but are actually imprinted, respectively, with a shoestring, a silk thread and onion skins. Turned horizontally, they can be performed as musical scores. Other wonders are displayed in this section, notably A Finger Book 3 (1987/88), described as a “mixed media interactive book on aluminum base with various materials and Braille objects.” An exercise in sculptural empathy that incorporates an overturned aluminum cooking pan, Shang Dynasty pictographs, Sumerian clay tablet fragments, Japanese calligraphy, and soft fabric pouches containing garlic, the piece is strangely beautiful and touching. I wanted to love this exhibition, to be exhilarated by it. I didn’t. I wasn’t. The work is so disparate, it’s hard to perceive a coherent vision. And the density of information, the sheer number of things to look at, is almost too much to absorb. Touring the show felt at times like hiking through a college textbook, a weighty tome with small print, narrow margins, too many indecipherable images, and exhaustive footnotes to plow through. (In fact, Knowles has made large walk-in sculptural installations in the form of books. One of them, The Boat Book, a homage to her brother, who’s a sailor, dominates the first gallery.) The exhibition’s overstuffed academic heaviness seems at odds with Knowles’ playful, experimental, collaborative practice, which makes art out of every aspect and material of daily living. The Boat Book, a homage to Knowles’ brother, who’s a sailor. Credit: Ximena Natera, Berkeleyside/CatchLight It’s a substantial, worthwhile show nonetheless — ideal for a university museum, with all kinds of relevance to Bay Area culture and art history. It’s full of revelations and good surprises. Some of the pieces are stunning, and Knowles’ long-term iterated projects are fascinating to follow as they evolve. The sumptuous exhibition catalog accompanying the show makes a substantial case for Alison Knowles’ important place in the story of contemporary art. Knowles taught for years at Cal Arts in Southern California and collaborated with Bay Area pioneers such as sound artist Bill Fontana. Her work gave tacit encouragement to Bay Area conceptual artists like Tom Marioni, Paul Kos, David Ireland, Bonnie Sherk, Lynn Hershman, Chip Lord and others to follow their bliss. And she’s a delightful soul. She turned up at the exhibition’s public opening to witness a remake of her 2016 piece Celebration Red in the museum’s lobby; she’d brought a red felt coaster to donate to the red-taped grid herself. Seeing her in person was a thrill. When you visit, and I hope you do, don’t miss the companion exhibition of Fluxus works from BAMPFA’s collection in an adjacent gallery. It was curated by the late, much loved and respected, irreplaceable Constance Lewallen. It’s the perfect complement to Knowles’ oeuvre.

I so look forward to seeing how the girls change…and you’d think there wouldn’t be that much change in 3 months…but, oh, there is! It happens so fast! Their collection of albums from each session will be a cherished keepsake for the girls as they grow. We started planning our January session a few weeks prior and to our surprise, the weather turned and we got to do the session outside! 65 degrees in western PA in January – amazing! We chose the Beaver train station as our location. A rustic cabin sits right across the parking lot and the sun seems to be perfect no matter what time of day you shoot. Part way through our session, we changed shoes (although the weather was beautiful, the ground was still soggy) and it threw Cora for a moment, but mom saved the day with “squirrel lollipops” and we got right back on track.

After a summer of travel it feels great to be looking at my neighbourhood with fresh eyes. Despite a chilly wind blowing off the lake and an equipment malfunction (broken tripod leg), I was happy to be back at the yacht club to sketch today. There didn’t seem to be much action at the sailing school — I guess lessons are over for the season — and before you know it the boats will be coming out of the water, so I have to make the most of the time that’s left. Painted at a picnic table on a Saunders Waterford CP block, 9″ x 12″. Rediscovering a brush There’s an interesting feature in the October issue of Watercolor magazine called “Brushing Up: five artists share their go-to brushes for achieving their signature looks.” I love reading articles like this and it made me dust off some brushes in my studio that I use infrequently. In the process I discovered a little gem — a 1″ Grumbacher Aquarelle flat that I don’t remember buying and that I haven’t used in years but that works like a gem. It’s so nice, in fact, that I had to do a little research to find out more about it. Turns out it’s a sable brush, one of the best ever made by them. I do have other flats of the same size but the secret with this one is how much wash it holds and what a sharp edge you can get with it. You can paint a whole painting with just this brush, except for possibly the tiniest of details. If you are interested in something similar (this one has been discontinued), have a look at the Richeson Series 6229. It’s the closest I could find to this one. Capitol Reef cross-section The desert colours are still in my brain, especially the different hues that comprise the many layers in the canyons and cliffs of Utah. I bought a poster of a geologic cross-section because I loved the names of the rock — Navaho Sandstone, Redwall Limestone, Bright Angel Shale and Carmel Formation — and because they serve as a good reminder as I finish the paintings from home. Each park was visually unique and splendid but Capitol Reef remains a favourite because I spent the longest time there and it was relatively quiet compared to the more popular parks like Bryce and Zion. Tri-state car panoramas I’m just back from a full week of touring and painting in Utah’s five National Parks. I still have comments to catch up on and more sketches to post going back to day one. The start of the sketching week begins like this: It was easier to get to southern Utah through Las Vegas, rather than fly into Salt Lake City, but that meant that last Sunday, upon arrival in Vegas, we had to drive directly to the first National Park which was almost six hours away. The start of the drive was surprisingly pleasant despite the long flight, with changing desert vistas and wide open skies. When I looked at the map I realized that before getting to Utah from Nevada, we had to cross a little corner of Arizona, so I dug out my panoramic sketchbook with the idea of capturing a bit of landscape from each state. The view of the Nevada hills was grey and dry, not a tree in sight, just low scrub and cracked ground. By the time we reached Arizona, the colours of the rock started to change. When we crossed into Utah, the setting sun lit up the red hills and green pastures. I won’t go into too much detail about the harrowing second half of the drive — in total darkness, on switchbacks through narrow canyons and then for a long time on an open range. I’d rather forget it. But if you want more info I can put you in touch with some of the locals I met a few days later who told me that NO ONE drives on an open range at night. The Temple of Sinawava It was a pleasure today to have a guide through Zion National Park — and even better that my guide is a watercolour painter. Russell Black lives not far from the park and paints here often so imagine my luck when he offered to accompany me to some favourite sketching spots of his. Zion is the greenest of Utah’s National Parks with rivers, waterfalls and hanging gardens. I guess we could have climbed to the great lookout points but it was a pleasure to sketch in the cool shade of the greenery both in the Temple of Sinawava and near the waterfalls of the Emerald Pools. Check out Russell’s wonderful watercolours of these splendid spots here. IMG_2768.JPGHere’s Russell sketching in the shade of the canyon. IMG_2767.JPG Lost in the hoodoos Each of Utah’s five National Parks have vastly different rock formations and that’s what makes them so interesting and yet so difficult to capture in paint. Capitol Reef was big red canyon walls and layers of the Waterpocket Fold. Arches was monoliths. Canyonlands, which I visited yesterday but had no time to write about was, as the name suggests, vast vistas seen from above. Today’s park is Bryce Canyon. Again this is geography that you look down into from the rim. It’s a more hospitable landscape for the shade-seeking sketcher because of the pines along the edge, but it’s geology that is so foreign to my eyes that it took a while to comprehend. Looking into the canyons of orange limestone pillars, it took some time to think about how to paint these, and I decided that it might be best to start by sketching them. The spires are vertical but the layers of colour are horizontal and mostly deepen in intensity as they move downward. It’s not necessary to paint every hoodoo, although that is what you might think upon first impression. I tried to use something I learned from Tom Hoffman. How can you say it in the least amount of paint strokes? Tomorrow I will be in Zion National Park and I suppose that will bring a whole new menu of geological formations that I will have to comprehend. IMG_2756-1.JPG Delicate Arch Today’s painting day started with rain and ended with rain. In the middle the sun at Arches National Park was blazing hot and that’s when I sketched the iconic Delicate Arch from a viewpoint a distance away. Painting it up close would have involved a three-mile hike of some difficulty on open slickrock, carrying 2 litres of drinking water along with my painting gear (and more water for painting!) The high desert conditions make watercolour difficult. As you can see from my sketch, the water on my brush dried before it hit the paper. I’ve never seen anything quite like the rock formations in this park. A series of monolithic red sandstone fin formations stand out all over the park. They really need to be seen to be believed because there are no photos or sketches that can do these arches and spires justice. Despite that I keep trying. IMG_2751.JPG The Waterpocket Fold The landscape of Capitol Reef Park is all about the backdrop of layered red rock that runs south for 100 miles, and I can’t describe it better than the tourist brochure. “A giant buckle in Earth’s crust stretches across south-central Utah. This vast warping of rock, created 65 million years ago by the same great forces later uplifting the Colorado Plateau is called the Waterpocket Fold.” I painted two half sheets today — one of an iconic section of soaring spires called The Castle which I will post when it’s done — and this panoramic view done from, believe it or not, Panorama Point. Painting today was a challenge but not for the same reasons as yesterday. Both morning and afternoon sessions were halted due to rain and high winds. With these big Utah skies you can see the rain coming from a distance but you never know if the dark clouds will move off or rain where you are standing. In both instances I had parked close-by so was able to grab the painting and run. I also wanted to thank everyone who commented yesterday. All your encouragement is much appreciated and although I try to respond promptly, the internet is very spotty here. One minute I’m on and the next I get booted off so even posting is a challenge. IMG_2739-5.JPG Two boats in Petty Harbour “Newfoundland is of the sea. A mighty granite stopper thrust into the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, its coasts present more than five thousand miles of rocky headlands, bays, capes and fiords to the sweep of the Atlantic.” Farley Mowat “Bay of Spirits” Before I left for Newfoundland I stopped in the library and picked up a copy of Farley Mowat’s “Bay of Spirits” — the book he wrote about his time sailing around the outports along Newfoundland’s Southwest coast in the late 1950s. It was the ideal book to have along because every time I came upon a harbour I was reminded of his descriptions of schooners and skippers and steamers and a Newfoundland that mostly doesn’t exist anymore. And even though I’m not a big fan of air travel, a little part of me was happy my plane ride home today was delayed so I could enjoy the last pages of the book before landing. The perfect way to end the week. Get every new post delivered to your Inbox. Join 3,587 other followers

Florida Travel Group trying to rescue old Seven Mile Bridge in the Keys But they also came up with some more practical ideas, including a terraced park at the entrance to the north end and shade areas on top of the bridge. Anna Drescher, 21, won the student contest with an idea for five areas on top of the bridge called "mile markers." Each would have different concepts and sponsors, including one about hydroelectricity at a point where two major currents meet. "I learned the significance of lighthouses in the Keys and all my panels would light up and create luminance at night," she said. "Anna Drescher's concept of lighting and the plazas also was very exciting," Spinrad said. While some county commissioners criticized most of the designs for the impracticality, county senior director of engineering Kevin White said the project was worth the investment. "This will generate way more than $5,000 worth of interest, publicity and start-up juice," he said. "If people see creative ways to use the bridge, it might attract private money or tourism money." Spinrad would have loved to have held a major design contest for big time architectural firms. "But we would have needed a $100,000 pot for prize money," he said. "But we couldn't afford it. So we did the graduate students. First prize is $300, second is a little basket and third is a smaller basket." For the past three months, Friends of Old Seven has set up a booth from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week at the north end of the bridge to garner support. They take donations for the bridge and for bridge souvenirs, as well as soliciting people to sign a petition to save the bridge. Sergio Blengini and Margherita Bruno of Italy jogged and walked the length of the bridge's main section, passing Dille as he sat in his chair. They said they learned about the bridge on Lonely Planet. The bridge attracts international travels from all over the world, according to data collected by Friends of Old Seven. But many people miss the entrance to the old Seven Mile Bridge, which is poorly marked on the right side of U.S. 1 just before the new Seven Mile Bridge. Several of the architecture students said they missed the entrance and had to drive the 14 miles roundtrip on the new Seven Mile Bridge. Brad White, the "bridge effort manager" for Friends of Old Seven, said he sees many people make illegal and dangerous U-turns upon missing the entrance. "One time I saw a truck towing a big boat stop traffic and then back up," he said. "That was scary, but I guess they really wanted to see the old bridge." Spinrad said his group also has been working on a practical design of their own that will make the old Seven Mile Bridge a world-class tourist attraction. It includes building plaza type spaces on the bridge for events such as art festivals or farmer's markets and building a fixed rail for "Henry the Trolley," which stopped running in 2008 when the state closed the bridge to all vehicle traffic. Private vehicle traffic was banned in 2002. "The bridge is worth preserving," Sprinrad said. "And I don't think it will take a super human effort if we can get the political establishment behind it."

Previously a steam flour mill, the 100-year old building is one of the most iconic in the centre of the Bedfordshire town. It was purchased by the charity in 2013 and has since gone through a complete transformation. All 5 floors, totalling 10,000 sq.ft., have now been fully refurbished with the result being a stunning creation of fashionable architectural space that is also sympathetic to the original structure of the building. Leading architects HOK were responsible for the overall project design scheme and worked closely with lighting designer Xavier Fulbright of Lumineer Studio and Reggiani UK. The Splyt surface-mounted version incorporating high-performance optics was specified for good ambient lighting in most central spaces at Bute Mills. The Splyt luminaire is extremely versatile and includes semi-recessed, track, surface and wall mounting options to suit virtually any application. Available in 120mm and 150mm sizes, both were utilised on the Bute Mills project with 17W and 31W LED lamps respectively. Envios medium track fittings with 10W LED lamps were used in the main entrance area and also in repeated small groupings in several meeting/presentation spaces. These fittings constitute ideal directional spots, such as in the auditorium area, but also offer striking visual impact when arranged evenly spaced out on track in groups.

The host and the guest are both photographers. They were talking about how 2020 affect photographers and small business and how to overcome the challenges. 2020 is full of lessons, and we need to leverage those lessons for 2021 success! In this episode, the guest asks the following question: "what skills do you have?" And he wasn't just talking about photography. Photography isn't a skill. Need to be more specific, what skills help you be a better photographer? What skills set you apart from other photographers? What skills set me apart from other photographers? That question got me thinking... When I was updating my LinkedIn profile in July, I realize what I have to offer. And these skills WILL make me a better photographer and more successful in 2021. 1. Portrait Photography 2. Outdoor Photography 3. Real Estate Photography 4. Live streaming on Social Media 5. Planning and Scheduling Social Media Content 6. Webdesign and SEO 7. Filmmaking 8. Customer Service 9. Management Experience I know! I didn't even realize what I have to offer until I was updating my LinkedIn and resume. Sometimes we have to take a step back and reflect on how much knowledge and experience we have gained. Then, giving ourselves a pad in the back! What skills do you have within your industry that helps you be great in it? My 2021 Success Goals - Create Income Revenue Streams Wish-List Here's the thing, I have no idea how I'm going to implement all of my skills to become more successful. But I'm going to try. And I'm going to fail and fall flat on my face. And I'm going to get up and try again or try something new. With that being said, here's my Create Strong Income Revenue Streams Wish-List: 1. Offer brand photography to vendors. Network and collaborate with quinceañera boutiques, receptions, bakeries, and event planners. 2. Consult with family-own businesses and entrepreneurs with social media content. I want to help farmer's market vendors build their online presence 3. Move up within the real estate media company I work with. I'm a full-time real estate photographer with a local media company in Mesa, and I want to see what else I can do for them. I want to learn more and do more. Gain more experience with them. 4. Learn more about portraiture and portrait photography lighting. The goal is to become a better portrait photographer and seek out studios to rent or collaborate with. That way I can offer Studio Photography. 5. Learn how to invest my money. I want to invest in real estate and learn how to make my money work! What goals do you have for 2021?

The sea creature various from different kind of species and each of them are interesting on shapes,colors,sizes and look. The project began with just a simple T-Pose and its easier to work that way,especially UV Unwrapping. Had UV Layout to do the job. Well having it posed is not an issue for UV Unwrap, its just neutral pose speeds up workflow. Had approximate 8 UV tiles. Notice there are 2 tiles that are the same,its just flipped over. Having UVs symmetry also helps to speed up the Texturing workflow. The reason is both left and right fin share the same UVs, Texture Artist can focus on one side and later mirror it over. Once thats done, just break the similar Texture look on both sides to make it natural. Dealing with Organic subject is fun,especially digging in the details of the creatures and notice what makes them special in their Texture surface. Paying attention on the details on Turtle Eye is also crucial,that area helps making the creature more alive. It will be good to make it realistic and getting it as close to real life reference as possible. After Texturing progress,the next thing is to pay attention to the Muscle flow and details on the Sea Turtle. Those details are sculpt in Zbrush. Wrapping up the last bit of Sea Turtle in the next Post~! =)

(Image: Contributed) River City Company, along with other partners, is implementing new downtown maps, district banners and wayfinding signage downtown in order to make Chattanooga a more colorful and easier area to navigate. Refurbished map kiosks are also being installed to further beautify downtown. District banners, such as the ones pictures above, are reflections of what makes each area distinct. Banners are being crafted for the North Shore, Riverfront, Bluff View, City Center, MLK/UTC and Southside. Each one includes the name of the district plus artistic depictions of popular elements in each district, officials said. Additionally, each banner will use Chatype, a font created last year specifically for Chattanooga. The new North Shore banner. (Image: Contributed) Karen Estes, a local artist who participated in Art in Motion (a River City Company program along with Public Art Chattanooga and CARTA that wrapped CARTA’s free electric shuttles in local artists’ designs), created the artistic depictions. “The Chattanooga community has a vibrant energy that really seems to think outside of the box … ‘color outside of the lines’ so to speak," Estes said in a prepared statement. "My hope is that these banner illustrations reflect the energy and fun that make Chattanooga such a great place to live, work and play. “ The efforts to replace banners, kiosk maps and wayfinding signage have already begun, and completion is slated for this month. The project's scope includes 412 banners, 56 wayfinding panels in 40 locations, and nine downtown maps and refurbished kiosks. “Downtown signage and maps needed some refreshing,” Jim Williamson, vice president of planning and development for River City Company, said in a prepared statement. “We hope these upgrades will make downtown even more inviting while spotlighting the unique personalities each district exhibits and the variety downtown Chattanooga has to offer.” River City Company has a long history of participating in downtown wayfinding and banners. They started their efforts in 2001 with partners like the city, the Tennessee Aquarium, the Chattanooga Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Hunter Museum of American Art. They have been involved with downtown banners since 1993. Updated @ 2:11 p.m. on 2/5/13 to add photos of the updated banner designs.

Even prior to the completion of Gustave Eiffel’s iconic project—politicians, intellectuals, architects, and citizens banded together condemning the design. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France (photo from yallabook.com) Calling themselves the Artists against the Eiffel Tower, they proclaimed, “We . . . protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection … of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower … a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk . . . all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream . . . like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal.” These days, the beloved Eiffel Tower represents the pride of France, undisputed as one of the world’s most recognizable monuments, a marvel of engineering, and a landmark of architectural beauty. Then a mere Yale undergraduate student, Maya Lin’s proposal was chosen from over 1,400 submissions. (photo from pdxmonthly.com) One century later, the jury selected Maya Lin, only twenty-one years of age, as the winner of the design competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Lin’s design immediately sparked artistic debates and fueled controversy about her lack of talent, youth, ethnicity, and gender. Rather than the typical memorial of soldiers carved out of marble celebrating victory, Lin’s design was somber, morbid even. An ambitious concept of abstract art, the young designer envisioned a long wall of black granite cut into the ground—a wound in the earth expressing the thousands of lives lost in this war. Despite many challenges and negativity, her design opened to the public with universal fanfare and tears of gratitude. Twenty-six years later, The American Institute of Architects placed Lin’s design on their list of “America’s Favorite Architecture.” Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, D.C. (photo by Terry Adams/National Park Service) Architects often deal with clients and the general public who might not embrace our creative visions. At least not at first. I am aware that not every design idea of mine is great. But I grumble here, because most people fear the newness of new ideas. The narrow-minded, the NIMBY’s, those who fear progress, and those with no ambition or imagination—all such members of this righteous audience stand ready to say no. They embrace a naive motto: if it looks different, it must not be good. Basilica of Saint Denis, France (photo by Bruce Yuanyue Bi / Getty Images) The Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China (photo by Songquan Deng / Shutterstock) How do we explain to this kind of audience that we do know best? Regardless of an architect’s education and degrees, decades of apprenticeship and training, accolades and honors, media praise and client references, it doesn’t take much for a person to react to an architect’s presentation with, “No, nope, it’s not good.” Historically, this type of sentiment has been stated at the arrival of so many respected (later bestowed) works of architecture that has moved the needle of progress forward—from Gothic cathedrals to Chinese temples, from Frank Gehry’s masterpieces to heroic skyscrapers. right: Flower Building, Prospect Place, London (rendering by Frank Gehry); left: 30 St. Mary Axe, London (photo by Creative Commons Attribution) If you see a doctor and he says you have cancer, listen to the diagnosis and next steps. You are probably not smarter than your doctor. If you hire a lawyer, she probably has a better legal mind than you. Her experience has prepared her to be your best advocate. Pay attention. Taegu Arena, Korea, by Anthony Poon (w/ NBBJ, photo by John Lodge) If an architect proposes a new idea for a city park or a concert hall, an elementary school or a church—don’t have that knee jerk reaction, “I don’t get it. And I don’t like it.” Don’t be the establishment that proclaimed the Eiffel Tower as “monstrous, ghastly and hateful.” Keep an open mind to new ideas. © Poon Design Inc.

Surely this explains why Spark is a flagship of the Santa Fe Arts District. It is one of only a handful of places along the row where you always expect to find something that's at least interesting -- if not actually good. The two solos on view there right now are both interesting and good. In the west room, which faces Santa Fe, there's a very elegant JUDITH COHN: CONSTRUCTIONS. Cohn does abstract sculptures -- typically slab-built or made from clay coils -- and they always refer to Japanese ceramics. Sometimes her pieces look like critiques of Japanesque forms, such as her "Loops," which suggest bottomless ikebana bowls, or the pieces in CONSTRUCTIONS that appear to be vessels but have no openings. Using rectangles of clay that reminded me of shingles, Cohn builds up multifaceted forms (pictured). She typically uses terra cotta and expressively applies her glazes so that the color of the clay shows through. In a handful of these pieces, Cohn used black clay, which is also partly visible through the glaze. From my point of view, Cohn is way underrated considering her very apparent talent, and it's inexplicable that she hasn't been the subject of a major museum or art-center exhibit. In the east room, facing Ninth Avenue, there's John Matlack: Bridges, Fishes, and Boats, showcasing the artist's signature combination of abstraction and representation. The exhibit is heterogeneous, with the two abstract paintings and the one infrared photo montage seemingly out of step with the rest of the show. The main thrust of Bridges, Fishes, and Boatsis a group of monotypes incorporating photo transfers of -- you guessed it -- bridges, fishes and boats. These two worthwhile diversions run through Saturday, November 11. "Coffee With the Artists," with Cohn and Matlack, is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m. that same day. -- Michael Paglia My Voice Nation Help Denver Event Tickets ©2013 Denver Westword, LLC, All rights reserved.

He died at his home in Princeton, N.J. at the age of 81. At the Award’s Ceremony in Doha, November 2010 L to R: Glen Lowry, Renata Holod, Oleg Grabar, Gulru Necipoglu, Mohammad Al-Asad (photo: H.U. Khan) Working alone, or in collaboration with students and colleagues, he directed excavations, developed exhibitions, inaugurated professional associations, administered academic departments and research institutions. His impact has been felt worldwide, from the level of the undergraduate classroom to circles dealing with cultural policy and politics. Oleg Grabar was born in November 1929, in Strasbourg, France, where his father taught art history at the University of Strasbourg. He attended lycées in Paris before studying ancient history at the University of Paris. In 1948, when his father received an appointment to Dumbarton Oaks, the center for Byzantine studies in Washington, he moved to the United States. After earning a bachelor’s degree in medieval history from Harvard and diplomas in medieval and modern history from the University of Paris in 1950, he earned a master’s (1953) and a doctorate (1955) in Oriental languages and literatures from Princeton, where he wrote a dissertation on the ceremonial art of the Umayyad court. Professor Grabar taught at the University of Michigan and Harvard, where he was named the first Aga Khan Professor of Islamic art and architecture in 1980, before accepting a position at the school of historical studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1990, where he lived until his death. He led excavations at Qasr al-Hayr from 1964 to 1971, where he unearthed a palace “Professor Grabar prepared generations of art historians and museum directors who followed his lead to create new disciplines within the field of Islamic studies, expanding its scope far beyond the rather narrow limits he encountered when he entered the field”. complex in the desert northeast of Palmyra in Syria whose outer walls enclosed an area nearly three miles square with a fortified residence, courtyards and a mosque. He later directed excavations in Israel and Jordan. He was the noted author of more than 50 books and innumerable articles. Among his best known works are Formation of Islamic Art, Illustrations of the Maqamat, The Alhambra, Great Mosque of Isfahan, Mediation of Ornament, Mostly Miniatures, Shape of the Holy, Dome of the Rock, Penser l’art islamique, and Masterpieces of Islamic Art: The Decorated Page from the 8th to the 17th century, Islamic Art and Architecture 650 – 1250 (with Richard Ettinghausen). In 1982 he founded Muqarnas, a periodical for the study of Islamic art and architecture, which he edited for the next decade. More than 80 of his essays were collected in the four-volume Constructing the Study of Islamic Art, published in 2005 and 2006. In his many publications, he posed broad questions about the nature of Islamic art, seeking to discover the impulses that generated its specific forms and dynamics of growth, and to explore the interconnections between faith and socio-historical circumstances in its development. At the same time he wrote focused, detailed studies on the meaning of forms peculiar to Islamic art and architecture, and, in later studies, examined the relationship between traditional and modern Islamic art. His former student, Professor Renata Holod, recently wrote: “Professor Grabar prepared generations of art historians and museum directors who followed his lead to create new disciplines within the field of Islamic studies, expanding its scope far beyond the rather narrow limits he encountered when he entered the field”. I first met Oleg Grabar at the Secretariat of H.H. the Aga Khan just outside Paris in January 1977. He had been asked to help set up the Aga Khan Award for Architecture along with a small group of people and was a founding member of the award’s Steering Committee. Renata Holod, had been appointed Convenor (Director) of the award and I was hired as her assistant. The early days of the award’s formation were filled with meetings and interesting conversations as the award program began to take shape. Renata and I travelled all over the Islamic world contacting people, feeding the Steering Committee with news of the state of architecture and concerns of architects, builders, clients, etc. A small first seminar was held at the Secretariat in April 1978 to discuss the subject of Architecture of Islam and the merits of an Award. A year later, at a meeting in Philadelphia, after a review of contemporary architecture in Muslim societies, there was the realisation that we were onto something important. Oleg’s enthusiasm and comments helped make the award a reality. He remained a member of the Steering Committee for its early decades and was a wise counsel. He always conducted himself with great civility and patience as the Award was developed and with wit and humour that endeared all of us to him. Oleg Grabar, then at Harvard, and Bill Porter, the Dean of the MIT School of Architecture and also a member of the Award Steering Committee, had made a proposal to H.H. the Aga Khan to set up new programs at their universities to deal with Islamic architecture. The idea was to further legitimize the scholarship of Islamic architecture. Soon thereafter, I became the Convenor of the Award and worked for the Aga Khan, I was asked to work on establishing the Aga Khan Program at Harvard and MIT and I attended meetings and allowed-up with the two universities on behalf of the Aga Khan. The Programs were established with a large endowment and library collections. Students from all over the globe came to study there and continue to do so to this day. Over the years I was fortunate to travel around the Islamic world at seminars and other site visits with Oleg and others. We had some marvelous trips; to China in the early 1980s, to Fez in Morocco, and later to Senegal and Yemen amongst many other places. Steering Committee meetings were also often held in exotic and interesting places. In Zanzibar we held meetings on a barge in the middle of the water so as not to be disturbed, and on several occasions we met in Sardinia, and of course at the Secretariat in France. Those were exciting days for all of us. There were many personal memorable moments – both significant and trivial. I remember sitting under a tree in Xian talking about nothing much in particular with Oleg when the Aga Khan joined us: “What are you thinking?” he asked expecting some bon mot from the distinguished professor. “Oh nothing much, your Highness” replied Oleg, “Just pleasantly wasting time!” On another occasion Oleg was visiting his father in Paris, who was zealous of the time Oleg spent with him. He would come to dinner at our apartment but would leave by 9 pm. as his father would be waiting up for him! On one such trip, the Aga Khan telephoned Grabar in his father’s flat in Paris only to get Grabar senior on the line. “My son is here to see me” said Oleg’s father “and cannot come to the phone!” Later, when Oleg heard this he was mortified and had to nip out to a phone booth (as this was before the days of cell phones) to call back His Highness and apologise! “Ah well, that’s the ways fathers are” remarked the Aga Khan. There are myriad such stories that those of us who spent time with Oleg will remember – perhaps one day they will be written down. Oleg Grabar remained a member of the Award Steering Committee until the mid- 1980s and also served as a member of its Master Jury in 1989. He moved to Princeton in 1990 and remained connected with the Aga Khan network over the years. As he once said to me, “I am going into semi-retirement and will do the things that I have put off for so long.” He divested himself of his large collection of books and articles that he had collected over the years – they now form part of the Getty Foundation collection – but continued to write and lecture. He had always wanted to write a detective novel but he never did. I visited him and his wife, Terry, in Princeton about once a year. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated over the years and he began to travel much less and bemoan his physical condition. “The most important thing is one’s health” he would say. “There are times I wish I was younger”. We would talk about “old times” and a couple of years ago we talked about writing an informal history of the Aga Khan Award. “You should coordinate this before it’s too late as you experienced the first decades of the endeavour,” he said. “Many of us are getting old and some, like Hassan Fathy and High Casson amongst others are no longer with us. You should collect the stories about all the wonderful experiences we had together. It would be the real story of what happened (including gossip!) and would give an insight into that great enterprise!” I was enthusiastic but, alas, never began to do so. I last saw Oleg Grabar in Doha in November 2010 at the Aga Khan for Architecture prize-giving ceremony. The award has been established for some 35 years and all the former directors of the award (four of us) had been invited in this instance. It was also the occasion when Oleg Grabar was given the Chairman’s Award – the Chairman being the Aga Khan – a rare and singular honour that has been bestowed only five times during the Awards’ history. It was the first time that it has been given to a non-architect. Oleg gave a keynote address which was followed by a panel discussion about him with four of his former PhD students, Glen Lowry now Director of the Museum of Modern Art in NY, Renata Holod, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Gulru Necipoğlu, the Aga Khan Professor at Harvard, and Mohammad Al-Asad who runs an architectural ‘think tank’. (There were also other former students of his in the audience.) Oleg was frail and we could see that he was in poor health but it was a grand occasion and a worthy recognition of his many roles. I was travelling to Pakistan when news of his demise reached me. It made me realise that an important part of my formation had passed, and it made me recall with great fondness the man; his warmth and his wisdom. He will be remembered by many as a mentor, a fine scholar, and someone who gave impetus to the field of Islamic art and architecture. I will, as many others, miss him and preserve his memory – he was truly a Renaissance man – A Man for All Seasons. Hasan-Uddin Khan is an architect and writer who has worked and lived all over the globe. In Europe, he coordinated His Highness the Aga Khan’s architectural activities between 1984 and 1994. He has been a Visiting Professor at MIT and at Berkeley; and is currently Distinguished Professor of Architecture and Historic Preservation at Roger Williams University. He lectures widely, and is editor/author of nine books and has over sixty published articles. Comment here

The painting was acquired by LACMA in 1998 but has never been on view due to its fragile state. Today, the conservation effort is complete and the painting is now officially on view. On Sunday afternoon, monks from the Kuyangsa Temple in Incheon, South Korea, will perform a ritual involving chanting, music, and dance, in celebration of the painting going on view—a unique (and free) event worth catching. For more about the restoration of the painting, check out this video: Also opening this weekend is a reinstallation of approximately forty objects from our Chinese collection. The Chinese collection has been off view for quite some time, so we are thrilled to bring them back into a permanent gallery. The initial rotation selects some of the best objects from our collection, including another depiction of Shakyamuni—a large sculpture from the middle Tang dynasty, about 700–800 AD. Probably Shakyamuni (Shijiamouni), the Historical Buddha, China, middle Tang dynasty, about 700–800 AD, gift of Ruth Trubner in memory of Henry Trubner and purchased with funds provided by Kelly and Robert Day, H. Tony and Marti Oppenheimer and the Oppenheimer Brothers Foundation, David Bohnett and Tom Gregory, Ric and Suzanne Kayne, Richard Merkin, M.D., Lenore and Richard Wayne, Sharon and Robert Blumenfield, Edgerton Foundation, Myron Laskin, Mary and Robert Looker, Nancy and Dick Riordan, and Mr. and Mrs. Hazelle Hickman Keeping to the East, make sure to stop into the Pavilion for Japanese Art to see a new installation of The Night Festival of Tsushima Shrine, an Edo-period screen (about 1624–44) that depicts a summer festival at an ancient Shinto shrine near Nagoya. Night Festival of Tsushima Shrine (Detail), Japan, early Edo period, Kan’ei era, 1624–44, Ink, color, gold, and silver and gold leaf on paper, Gift of Camilla Chandler Frost, David and Margaret Barry, Lenore and Richard Wayne, Leslie Prince Salzman, Friends of Heritage Preservation, Gwen and Peter Norton, and the East Asian Art Council, in honor of Robert T. Singer If you’re looking for something more contemporary, or you’ve got holiday shopping in mind this weekend, come to L.A. Print on Saturday afternoon. The event is a showcase for Los Angeles printmakers, including presentations and artist talks all day (here’s the full schedule) and a variety of prints available for purchase—a great idea for the art-collector on your holiday shopping list (or, of course, for your own collection!). Saturday night, Hindi director Raj Kapoor’s 1951 film Awaara (The Vagabond) screens in the Bing Theater. Kapoor also stars as the title character, a down-on-his-luck street urchin who is unaware of his upper-class origins. At the time of its release, Awaara was a worldwide hit and launched Kapoor to superstar heights, not to mention took Bollywood itself to a new level. Sunday afternoon in Art Catalogues you can hear artists Stephen Prina and Steve Roden their new books as well as broader topics of painting, music, and more. Later in the evening, you can head to the Bing Theater to hear the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra perform Bruckner’s String Quartet in F Minor and other works. And, of course, there are also eight special exhibitions on view right now, from Spanish colonial Mexico and Peru to mid-century California to Glenn Ligon’s Americ

Arts Artist Foundation on track OK, no tracks, but the Trolley Art Tour will raise funds for individuals In the heated discussions about arts funding, education, and economic development in San Antonio, artists (who create the art in question) frequently are left out of the equation. Art funds typically support organizations, not individual artists. In a town filled with non-profits competing for limited program and operating dollars, and with comparatively few commercial galleries or performance venues to bolster the for-profit side of the business, artists are often left holding an empty purse. Bettie Ward, left, and Patricia Pratchett, right, are co-founders of the new Artist Foundation. Caterer Dawn Brooks, center, is providing food for the organization’s March 4 fundraiser. (Photos by Mark Greenberg) The new Artist Foundation aims to strike a balance by providing $5,000 grants directly to artists in the visual, performing, literary, and media arts. The Foundation’s upcoming Trolley Art Tour on March 4 combines studio visits with live music, dance, literary and theatrical performances, including a short-film screening, to raise money and awareness for the Foundation’s first round of artist grants, which will be awarded in the fall. Co-founders Bettie Ward and Patricia Pratchett hope to make the application available by early summer and to announce the first four grants at the October 21 Art Ball, the Foundation’s next public event. The Artist Foundation grew out of Ward and Pratchett’s membership on the Cultural Arts Board, the community advisory council of the City’s Office of Cultural Affairs. They saw that, with very few exceptions, arts funding goes directly into organizational coffers, which means some funding is inevitably diverted to administrative and program overhead — a necessary part of the big picture, but not the picture itself. “We want to build an awareness and recognition of not only the great quantity of artists but the great quality of artists working in San Antonio,” says Pratchett. “When funds go only to organizations, some artists who benefit will be from San Antonio, and others won’t. This is a direct investment in San Antonio artists, recognizing their work and what they contribute to the community.” All Aboard: First Annual Trolley Art Tour 4:30-10pm Sat, Mar 4 Bettie Ward Studio 625 Avenue E 222-2011 artistfoundation@hotmail.com Economic development is implicit in the Foundation’s vision. “Artists are really small-business owners,” says Ward. “The local economy can only benefit from more artistic and creative projects, and this needs to be recognized.” Influenced by the Cultural Collaborative, which the co-founders worked on as CAB members, the Foundation’s vision statement reinforces this sentiment: “We believe that by bringing awards and recognition to local artists, the art market in San Antonio will grow, diversify, and prosper.” The fledgling Artist Foundation is currently under the auspices of Arts San Antonio’s 501(c)(3). They’re working to build a board, define the application process, and identify a multi-disciplinary selection panel. Ultimately, however, artists just wanna have fun and make art. So, all administrative tedium aside, the ambitious and free-wheeling March 4 Trolley Art Tour is designed to provide an all-purpose fundraiser and art event that is sure to please. Beginning in the parking lot of Alamo Funeral Home and the Bettie Ward Studio at 4:30 p.m., the $125 ticket price (all of which will fund grants) includes trolley fare, a bevy of gourmet snacks and fine wines along the route, live music and dance performances, literary readings, studio and gallery tours, a short theatrical performance at Jump-Start, a film screening at Radius, remarks by Mayor Phil Hardberger, and, in lieu of winter, competitive ice sculpting by some of your favorite San Antonio artists. The party ends (officially) at 10 p.m. back at the ice sculptures in the parking lot, where a band will play (unofficially) until around 11 p.m. The tour is limited to 75 people, so call soon for tickets.

Through its lens and the rich nature of its chemical development, depths and tones are achieved that record the real objects that sit in front of the camera, while also transporting us to new realms. As an artist who has worked with large format photography throughout her career, Janelle Lynch employs this process beautifully in her series and photobook Another Way of Looking At Love. Summer Wreath, 2016. From the book “Janelle Lynch: Another Way of Looking at Love” © Janelle Lynch It’s an interesting experience when man-made technology—in this case, a camera—guides us to reconnect with the pure and natural world. The book itself is in a participatory accordion-folded format. By folding and unfolding the multiple layers of dreamy images, the reader is transported into Lynch’s world—a tactile process of reconnecting with nature and its spiritual planes and possibilities. As we lose ourselves to a blurry encounter with Lynch’s natural elements, we absorb the photographer’s own relationship to nature, not only bringing us closer to the plants that she is photographing, but closer to each other as viewer, photographer, and ultimately human beings. Lynch explains: “We are hardwired for connection and our elemental sameness unites us and transcends our apparent differences. Our wellness and the well-being of the world depend on health connections to each other and to the earth.” As climate change and the human relationship to nature becomes an increasingly important point of concern in photography, Lynch’s approach to questioning, healing and fostering our connection with nature is a quiet and poetic one in comparison to the countless images of melting glaciers and visceral manifestations of the state of our planet. The delicate book, which depicts the simultaneously gentle and resilient fauna—goldenrod, pine trees and barberry, to name a few—invites us to be still with images and focus on her large format renderings in a meditative state, so that we feel at one with nature in the moment. Editor’s Note: Another Way of Looking at Love was announced as a shortlist selection for this year’s prestigious Prix Pictet Award.

TMX/Y is less blue sensitive 2. TMX/Y, when filters applied, its contrast shift is not the same as 'tradition al films'. For example: red filter increase constrast on Tri-X, but decrease o n TMY. According to the above, I am wndering: When using TMY, can we still, more or less, apply the general idea/principle that yellow filter will darken blue sky and red filter will does more...etc.etc. regards, C.j. wong Thilo Schmid 4-Apr-2002, 04:25 A B&W contrast filter selectively darkens and lightens certain colors. This is why it seems to increase contrast in a colorful environment. If your subject is monochrome, you might even decrease contrast with a "contrast filter". I don't know what you mean exactly with "red filter decreases contrast on TMY". A red filter together with TMY yields the same dark sky as with Tri-X. Think of TMY as a film with a built-in light yellow filter (which is not exactly true, because less blue sensitivity is more selective). Mark Sampson 4-Apr-2002, 15:09 Run some tests and share the results.

JOHOR BARU - Ten years ago, at a young age of 20, Olyhairy Othman chose to be a street artist, drawing portraits and caricatures for a modest fee of between RM10 (S$3.90) and RM30 per piece. But today, he is considered a successful artist, deriving commissions for his works for well-known advertising agencies and owning two stalls at Medini Mall in Nusajaya and Central Market in Kuala Lumpur. His skills for caricature are sought-after by corporate figures, politicians and local entertainers. On good days, he could earn up to RM20,000 a month. And the struggle that he had to go through in his early days as a street artist has prompted him to help young artists, providing them with opportunities to display their works. Now 30, the artist who is known as Oly, is still doing what he loves best - drawing caricatures. "I liked watching cartoons, and I started drawing cartoon characters at first," he recalled. "I moved on to drawing portraits when I was in secondary school," he recalled. "I didn't like doing serious artwork. That's boring. I wanted to do something different and fun," he said. Oly said the number of caricature artists in the country was growing due to demand from locals and even tourists. "I first started out doing caricatures on the streets of Kuala Lumpur to build up my confidence and sharpen my skills before I moved back here," he said. Oly said he was happy as the people here appreciated caricatures. "They like to see themselves in different versions." Oly said many caricature artists, including Malaysians, have carved a name for themselves at the world stage.

Beyer Blinder Belle 120 Broadway 20th Floor, New York, NY 10271 Beyer Blinder Belle (BBB) was founded in 1968, pioneering a different approach to the design of the built environment that is centered on architecture empowering people — their interaction with each other in neighborhoods, and their connections to the surrounding physical fabric. Planning, restoration, and the design of new buildings are the fundamental underpinnings of the practice. Many of its projects involve the stewardship of historic buildings in sensitive urban sites. A persistent exploration of historic, cultural, and civic meaning informs BBB’s work in new construction as well as master planning and urban design. Together with founding partners John Belle and Richard Blinder, John Beyer forged and helped refine the firm’s commitment to designing contextual solutions to architecture. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) and a Fellow of the AIA (FAIA). With Beyer and his team’s efforts, the firm has earned accreditation from a long list of prestigious organizations including the Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater New York (BOMA NY), the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, and American Planning Association. A recipient of the New York State Design Award from the AIA, BBB balances a civic perspective with contemporary design and reflects the materials and technology of today. This is demonstrated in the design of 100 Eleventh Avenue, a condominium tower overlooking the Hudson River, featuring a distinctive, curved curtain wall never before seen in New York City.

BKSK has adopted the Architecture 2030 Challenge, designing energy-efficient buildings to achieve net-zero consumption by 2030. BKSK is managed by Julie Nelson, Harry Kendall, Joan Krevlin, David Kubik, Todd Poisson, and George Schieferdecker who are certified by the AIA and LEED for Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C). They work closely with the company’s partners and experts in the building industry, ensuring that BKSK produces projects that meet the standards of the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). Prominent among the firm’s multifamily designs is the Jefferson. Formerly the site of the vaudeville theater, the building revitalizes the lost dramatic presence through its structural core which rises above the block’s datum, outlined by a painted steel frame to create a proscenium. It conveys a “play” of brick piers and varied window patterns on display.

At the same time, a former CUA student had remembered a beloved pub on the campus and proposed that it should make a comeback. After consideration, CUA administrators agreed and moved to bring a restaurant and drinking establishment into the lower level with the Student Center above, fronting a pedestrian walkway. Pubs have been a common part of campus life for many universities and colleges until the drinking age was moved to 21. Recently, the trend is changing. Based on considerable experience with spaces that foster community and enhance social gathering, CGS Architects was asked to develop appropriate designs for these new spaces. Convivum is Latin for bringing people and food/beverage together, a feast. This concept led the programming and design for the Student Center and Murphy’s Grill. Located in the west wing of the Pryzbyla University Center building, the student space includes two small study and lounge rooms, booths along the northern wall, informal seating areas throughout, and a new dedicated entrance which leads directly outdoors to an existing plaza. On the main level, the brick wall that separated the old bookstore and the plaza was removed and replaced with glass, making the space transparent and more open to the public walkway. The main level lounge includes an informal lounge area with a central gas fireplace and televisions. A new entrance from the existing plaza was added for convenient access to the lower companion space, Murphy’s Grill. CGS Architects worked closely with Murphy’s Grill to create an open and engaging space for students to study, play, and eat. A variety of informal seating clusters complement the loose tables and banquette seating, keeping the space flexible for various events. Drink rails round out guest accommodations along with a natural gas fireplace, televisions, and an integrated AV/It and lighting system for performances. Throughout Murphy’s, furnishing and upholstery provide a pop of color against the palette of understated neutral finishes and clean, contemporary detailing. These design motifs are repeated throughout the upper and lower levels to make the two spaces feel like one. The Student Center and Murphy’s Pub are little known gems of the CUA campus, open to anyone wanting a space for fellowship and learning over good food and drink.

Jung’s stylized studio pictures of the pair capture the very essence of their passion and are reminiscent of Hollywood glamour pictures. Jung isolates their poses and heat transfers them onto wallpaper. In 2000 he installed the wallpaper and a dance floor in a Seoul subway car as a sixth month long public art installation. The artist heard later that the installation did inspire some of the passengers to dance during their daily commute. Each image in this edition of 30 represents a different movement, from close embraces to dramatic flourishes. Yeondoo Jung was born in Jinju, Republic of Korea in 1969. After receiving his Masters of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College in London, he has exhibited widely around the globe in such city art’s festivals as the Fukuoka Triennial of Japan, Gwangju Biennial of Korea, Liverpool Biennial, Camberwell arts week of London, and the Shanghai Biennial. His recent work, entitled Wonderland opened at Tina Kim Fine Art in New York in 2005. Jung lives and works in Seoul. Share this product

C., the Mid Atlantic Car Wash Association, the Annapolis Maritime Museum and the Chesapeake Bay Program. Phyllis has a Masters of Fine Art from The Academy of Art University. She also has a Bachelor of Fine Art from Virginia Commonwealth University. Here is Phyllis explaining her process: My process working digitally is always changing since it is a relatively new medium for me. I use the same basics used in traditional painting such as blocking in shadow masses first, and working general to specific. I make sure all my values are determined in the rough stage and I keep that drawing handy to refer to and to maintain that value pattern. Color can be distracting and I want to be sure the value pattern is the same as my rough. Sometimes I use traditional textures and combine that with digital painting. The effect is often fun and I experiment with that frequently. process lionFour_thumbs2 A good example of this is the cover illustration for my recent book with Arbordale Publishing. I like to give the client several samples to choose from and I have to be happy to do all them. Luckily, they picked number four – the best one. Looking at these now I can see most of my ideas were way too busy. process B&WSounds_cover_illustrator_blog I refine the drawing to a tight rough and in this case I started rendering the lion first. He was the focal point and whatever came after him needed to harmonize with his colors and texture. You can see the water color texture I used on a separate layer, and I adjusted the colors using the sliders. I wanted a small bit of cool colors to be relief from all the warm colors of the lion and and the grass colors I was seeing in my mind. Those cool colors had yellow in them so they were sure to harmonize with the golds and browns. I also knew there would be a mix of warm greens in the grass, so greens were also desirable in that watercolor tidbit. I was reminded of the multitudes of grass color by looking out my window, and recalling my landscape class from my masters program. I also used a warm watercolor texture under the lion’s fur to get a good fuzzy look and avoid the slick look of digital painting. Process finalSounds_cover_rough_illustrators_blog I went through the same process with the banner for the type and the grass. I positively love how they created the typography, and the collaboration is something I love about illustration work. I love the wonderful surprises that other skilled artists bring to a project. The Fairfax County Virginia Park Authority poster beginning sketch. The Fairfax County Virginia Park Authority poster is a good example of the working process when there is a large amount of information in an image. I also had to show the clients, who were all scientists how the process worked. So, I gave them the sample of the shipwrecked Mariner from the Just So Story by Rudyard Kipling. This helped them understand how we were going to work together to manage a large project with lots of requirements. They gave me a list of species and I indicated many of them in my initial drawings so the scientists could understand my scribbles. Communication and a good client relationship is as important as a stunning illustration. Were you commissioned to paint that guitar for someone or do you play guitar and painted it for you? Plus, did you have to use a special paint to create such a stunning work of art? I participated in an auction fundraiser at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Paul Reed Smith Guitars provided the instruments, artists paint them and there is an auction/concert event that raises money. (That year Santana played!) guitar roughThe rough drawing was done in photoshop. The value pattern is established in the rough, and I printed this to refer to as I worked. I scuffed the surface of the guitar with light sandpaper, gessoed it, and used acrylic paint. I then gave it a layer of clear coat polyurethane. I used the acrylic like water color for the background textures that I like so much. I had just completed illustrating a book about William Morris, so I had his floral patterns still running through my mind. I made up my own that can be seen in the close up detail. gitar art Picture of finished quitar. Two book covers. How long have you been illustrating? I have been illustrating since 1983 when I graduated from VCU. gorgeous bird What was the first thing you painted where someone paid you for your work? I was paid for a series of black and white pencil drawings showing how to take a fish hook out of a hand. The magazine was Virginia Wildlife. What made you choose to get your BFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University? I knew VCU was a good school and it was close to home. What did you study there? I was a visual communications major with an illustration track. Did you go right from there to getting your MFA at The Academy of Art University? No, I went back to get my graduate degree after nearly thirty years. I think going back after all the experience I had at living and illustrating was a good decision. I brought a lot to the program and I got a lot out of it. baby and cat What did you study at The Academy of Art University? I was a traditional illustration student. I also benefited from all the core classes I had to take. There were many formal classes that filled in what I didn’t get as an undergraduate, and that was good. I think no one program has it all, there are bound to be gaps. bird basket I am assuming that it is the one in San Francisco, right. Did you find the culture different on the West Coast? I was an online student. Again, my age and experience was helpful. I was working and taking care of elderly parents at the same time, so it was good I knew how to manage time and handle stress. Do you feel College helped develop your style? Yes, my style is constantly evolving as anyone’s is. The input and critique from a school environment always pushes someone out of their regular solutions. It also introduced me to many other artists and opened my mind to different ways of working. What type of work did you do after you got out of school? I do a lot of children’s illustration and natural science illustration. I do a small amount of editorial and this has been the same pattern for me since I graduated from VCU in 1983. double page spread Did the college you attended help you get work when you graduated? My graduate degree helped me get work because my work improved and I had to take a business and marketing class. That was missing as an undergrad and it was very helpful. Have you seen your work change since you left school? I got my masters in 2013 and my work is better in many ways. It is more professional and I find more dynamic ways of solving a problem. I also got on the digital band wagon which is something I was ignorant about before my masters program. I knew I had to learn to incorporate new tools or get left behind. When did you decide you wanted to illustrate for children? I sent Cricket magazine a promotional package in the late 1990’s because I looked through the magazine and thought, “I could do that.” I got an assignment to illustrate a poem. But I think I always wanted to illustrate for children, ever since age seven when I created my own illustrated books of stapled paper to give to my mother. What was your first book you had published? Mary Anning, Fossil Hunter with Carolrhoda Books. The editor found my website and they gave me an assignment to illustrate a book about Mary Anning. That was pure luck. I didn’t even market to them. owl in boat How did that contract come about? The editor found my website and they gave me an assignment to illustrate a book about Mary Anning, a fossil hunter, based on an illustration of mine that had bones in it! painted iguana Did you do other types of illustrating before you got the book contract? I did illustrations for Virginia Wildlife Magazine,Cricket, World Wildlife fund, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation before my first book contract. The illustration that got me that first book assignment was a self created piece about hip dysplasia in dogs. I made it up, and the editor liked the bones. What steered you toward specializing in educational and natural science book illustrations? Natural science illustration is something I am good at. I grew up in a scientific household, we had a microscope on the kitchen table. I thought all kitchens had one. We had all kinds of creatures in an out of the house and drawing the natural world came easily to me. How many picture books have your illustrated? I think fourteen. I did a whole series of non-fiction books with Lerner, but I count that as one job. mountain animal What do you consider to be your biggest success? That is a hard question. I am proud of doing the Cherry Blossom Festival for Washington DC. I think my latest book “Sounds of the Savanna” with Arbordale is a success. Ranger Rick Magizein squirrels500 Do you illustrate full time? Yes, I work as an artist full time. Do you have any desire to write and illustrate your own picture book? Yes, I do have some ideas for books. I’ll need to find time to write them up and present them to a publisher. My ideas have to do with serious themes, and the challenge is presenting that to children in an appropriate way. all together I see you are represented by Wendy Lynn & Co.? How and when did the two of you connect? How long have you been working together? I meet a woman at Jury Duty who said she had a friend who was an agent. So I gave that friend a call. One never knows what connections you can make during a jury duty break! We have been together for almost a year. So far Wendy Lynn has provided a lot of assignments to me. Do you have a favorite medium you use? I love acrylic, oil, watercolor and digital. So, no I don’t have a favorite. The decision is based on time and money. Occasionally a client makes a specific request. Usually, they dont have a preference, and I decide. Do you take research pictures before you start a project? I set up human models especially if a character appears multiple times. I find several animal photo references and compile them as I draw. I can only do this with animals for some reason -perhaps because I am so comfortable with drawing them. wings spread Do you use Photoshop with any of your work? Yes, I use photoshop from start to finish if time is an issue. I find that changes are easy to make if I work completely digitally. When I have time I like to work traditionally and when I have lots and lots of time I like to experiment with mixed media and collage. two men Do you have and use a graphic tablet? I use a wacomb tablet when working digitally. Do you do exhibits to market your art? I did that a few times and I have not found that profitable. The snail mail promotional package, followed up with a phone call and thank you post card is the best method so far for me. Has any of your work appeared in magazines? I have illustrations in Iguana, Ranger Rick, Boys’ Life. It has been a long time since Cricket has hired me, but I keep trying! Do you have a studio in your house? My studio is a converted carport in a 1950’s rambler. It suits me well. horse snake Is there anything in your studio, other than paint and brushes that you couldn’t live without? The windows and my dogs snoozing under the table. jumping fish Do you follow any type of routine to attain your career goals? I try to maintain a certain amount of marketing, especially to markets that are not children’s illustration. Without the marketing, there are no career advancements. Any exciting projects on the horizon? I am working on two new books with Arbordale. They are stretching me in terms of subject matter and challenging manuscripts. But challenge is good. nest in tree Do you think the Internet has opened any doors for you? Yes, it opens doors for everyone. I am able to be insipred by so many other artists and I can look at their websites when I need a jolt. I have a file of inspirational artists and their websites that I refer to a lot! just so What are your career goals? I am always interested in finding new and interesting clients. I also would like to work on projects that advance the understanding of challenges of our time to children. For instance, books on environmental and social issues. If I could find assingments likethat, I would feel my work really has a purpose. wood pecker What are you working on now? I am working on a book about a little lemming for Arbordale. One challenge is the snow! I have never had to create so much snow before! The other challenge is creating animals with expression without losing anatomical accuracy. Are there any painting tips (materials, paper, etc.) you can share that work well for you? Technique tips? I don’t think I have any wisdom in that area because I am always experimanting and changing my tools. However, I would like someone to give me tips on using a Cintiq tablet. That might be my next step up. Any words of wisdom you can share with the illustrators who are trying to develop their career? Take a business class! It was the most valuable class of my educational career. Also, be prepared to flub up a lot of phone calls and interviews and consider it part of the learning curve. Understand that this is a saturated market and multiple income streams are helpful. For instance, I teach art in the late afternoons to neighborhood children, and I sell oil paintings at a fine art gallery in town. And develop the imagination. That is what sells. bird on shoulder Thank you Phyllis for sharing your talent, process, journey, and expertise with us. Please make sure you keep in touch and share your future successes with us.

I am sure she’d love it and I enjoy reading them, too. Thanks! Talk tomorrow, 1. Your work is beautiful! I’m so impressed that you have found that sweet spot between realism and character! Thanks for sharing! 2. Absolutely beautiful work, Phyllis! So glad to read about you here. 3. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and process! 🙂 4. Lovely interview, and beautiful artwork! 5. Absolutely stunning work. Amazing 6. Phyllis, Thank you for sharing your art and journey. Did you illustrate the okapi for a specific project? 7. Thank you for sharing your process and some of the illustrations you have produced. Your work is exceptional. I love the realism that you incorporate in your art. This was a refreashing shift to see. It does take more effort to produce realistic illustrations. There seems to be an increase in more superficial work for children-more cartoons that don’t even relate to real life. I enjoyed what you had to share. 8. This work is amazing!! Very encouraging interview as well. 9. Such beautiful work and detail, Phylli

I bought a sachet of silver glitter for house walls use, and have been playing with that. I just mix it with medium rather than add it to paint. dry image leftover paint. Was a bit dull so i dropped in spots and lines of pure colour was a ring pour went wrong 😉 but I like it. its about 16 x 20. It didn’t have silicon and looked a little bland for me so i flicked over alcohol to get the cells, and looking closely you can see where some has branched out to form dendrites. Pretty ;-0 Leftover paint from previous pour, much more what i was intending. deep edge canvas, about 16 x 6, an old one where i had gesssoed over and scraped off several attempts. finally got one right! crystals, pva glue and water :-( once dried the pva isn’t as visible and wouldn’t notice I think, once it had a couple coats varnish but I’m abandoning this one now. I’m not happy with it but have learned a lot while doing it so its useful that way. trying to fix cracking with minwax varnish issues. I’ve had an issue on occasions with minwax cracking. I actually like the effect so it doesn’t bother me but I’ve seen comments that suggest others don’t like it and I wanted to see if adding more varnish would cover it. I took an old, badly cracked on and applied a second coat of minwax, using it with a brush as usual on one half, and flooding it almost like resin on the second half.I used a silicon makeup sponge to flood the left side, and my usual brush for the right. flooded left side, brushed usual layer on right. The flooded layer did come out better than the brushed layer but cracking still showed through. you can see over the white area on the left how the flooded minwax filled the cracks better side on view I had a play with three 8x8inch canvases with minwax, using the silicon applicator, it does seem to prevent those brush strokes i have an issue with too often! I flooded it on the first one and…it gave me some very deep cracks. could be drying temp, could be that I need a layer of varnish first to make a smoother surface for the varnish to pool on? who knows, but actually I like it 😉 You can buy special crackle glazes – clearly I don’t need to…I’ve given it a second ordinary coat when dry as I worried the crackles might work loose. the flood minwax does give a fabulous shine. I am going to try to get it better though. one coat minwax applied with silicon applicator, not flooded. one coat minwax applied thinly ( not flooded) with silicon applicator No heat and no silicon either this time… still on the no heat trials I decided I’d do one with no silicon too. I did a swipe and usually I get better cells than this, I don’t know if its because there’s no silicon or that maybe my paints were a bit too thin. I don’t think it was the paint, usually if its too thin I get a lot of runoff and I didn’t with this. I have had good results before without silicon but then i used torch, so I think its just the combo of both on this occasion. I could probably do the same again and get totally different end result – that’s the beauty of fluid art for me, so difficult to predict. One thing I notice from the final dry painting is that the metallic red has taken over and i can see other colours, lines and shapes below it but they just can’t seem to break through it, next time I’ll either leave it out of use just a small amount. I’m not really happy with the painting as it is but I think it’ll make a nice background for a silhouette of something, bare trees maybe? Painting without using blowtorch or heat gun There have been discussions recently on facebook groups about possible breathing issues/poisonous fumes when using torch or heat gun. I don’t always torch, sometimes I want a “less busy” painting, to just enjoy clean lines of colour, but notice the cells still appear. I thought I’d do a video showing how you can get cells using floetrol even if you don’t torch. I used spray silicon, but have done works without silicon and still ended up with a few cells. I’m using some new fluorescent paints, and as they are transparent I’ve picked a couple of opaque blues. Original plan was to use black, but I didn’t have enough premixed so I used white, then realised I didn’t have enough of that so used black too. From end result I used too much black/white not enough colour. I also didn’t mix enough paint and tilting to cover canvas lost me some of the cells. I looked a couple of hours later hoping the fluorescent paints would have burst through but not as much as i hoped so i pulled through some paint on a lolly stick, the remnants in the cups, to add some vibrancy. As a painting its a bit meh….the canvas was an old one and even though I checked level as normal it was a bit loose and paints pooled in centre losing some of the lovely shapes. It’ll probably be one for adding extras to once dry. As an experiment though to see how you can still get interesting effect and cells without torching it works. A still taken from video, just out of cup. My paint looks a bit thick, they were new to me paints, and next time I’ll make them thinner. You can see how there are some great shapes and cells, but I didn’t mix enough paint, plus being a bit thick, and when i tilted, even though i was careful I lost lots of the cells. About 2-3 hours after painting, I wasn’t happy so used leftovers in paint cups and dragged lines through with a mixing stick. This is the result next morning almost dry. If I hadn’t been doing an experiment I’d probably have mixed a bright colour and swiped it, paint was still wet so could be altered. Testing Fairy Liquid against silicon. I wanted to see if I could still get cells with fairy liquid instead of silicon. ( in US fairy is same as what you call Dawn I believe, stuff those like me who don’t have a dishwasher use!!) I used 3 3×3 inch canvasses, all new ones, and marked them so i knew which was which. I added a few drops fairy to one, silicon to the second and nothing to third for a control. All paints were my usual mix of paint, floetrol, and water. I did make the fairy one a bit thicker as the fairy i was adding was a 50/50 fairy water mix. I tried to keep same amounts and add each colour in same order. I tried to only add a drop of silicon but with such a tiny amount of paint that was still too much i think and i don’t like the result that much, though it does go nicely with the others. I really like both the fairy and the control one, and i may well use Fairy again. There aren’t any big cells but it seems to make what for me is a nice reaction with the paint. I’ll be interested to see how it works on a larger painting. Dry pics, ( I brought them into house, ones is studio taking weeks to dry.) Testing pva for waterfastness as a Resin type finish. I’ve been looking for a resin type finish, tried Liquitex Pouring Medium, which looks good – not as good as resin but close. Its easier to use but works out expensive so I’ve tried PVA this time. the LPM was fine with water and has dried with no marks. the PVA, a fail, surface is tacky and absorbed water even when cold water used. that’s not camera/light glare, it’s where the pva has absorbed water and gone cloudy… It looks fine at first glance, if I’d been a bit more careful in application it would be better, but what I really wanted to test was how it reacts with water once dry. Resin and the Liquitex PM were both fine, even with boiling water, but this…well. Fail. Even with cold water it softened and marked and as for boiling water, it went tacky and lifted really quickly. I’m convinced there’s no place for it as a final coat, maybe with a varnish over it might be ok? I’m not going to use it that way but might be worth trying. What did occur though is the thought – what about those who use it as a pouring medium? Is there any likelihood it will lift/soften in the same way? I’m guessing if work is varnished it won’t be a problem but its something to be aware of it you don’t/haven’t varnished. Of course you’re not going to be pouring boiling water over your work as I did here for the experiment but we do hang art in kitchens and bathrooms, both of which can get quite steamy and moist air. Something to be aware of maybe. I can’t test that, I haven’t any successful ones I’ve used glue in, that’s why I gave up with using it as a medium, but perhaps someone that uses glue/PVA can confirm if they’re ok in rooms like this or not? .

Discover a wide range of colors to use in your designs with our new color tool. Where Do Earth Colors Sit on the Color Wheel? Earth colors refer to a group or scheme of colors which represent the varied colors of ground, soil or natural minerals. As a group of colors, earth colors normally contain some brown, and can be used together to create a harmonious scheme. On a traditional painter’s color wheel, earth colors are often represented by some of the key pigments used by artists, such as yellow ochre, burnt umber, and burnt sienna. Many of these paints were sourced from the natural minerals found in the earth. As a result, many old oil paintings have an earthy color palette compared to later paintings, which often used synthetic, more brightly-colored pigments. On contemporary color wheels earth colors are usually represented as darker tints of warm colors, such as orange, red, and yellow. However, while the addition of black creates a true tint (e.g. dark yellow), it is the addition of brown to red, yellow, or orange that gives this group of colors their earthy flavor. Cozy and Luxurious: Using Earth Colors in Your Designs — Color Wheel Color wheel image by contributor Peter Hermes Furian. Types of Earth Colors Earth colors refer to any warm color that contains some brown pigment. Related to these are natural colors, which are inspired by other colors found in nature such as plants and animals. Earth and natural colors pair together beautifully, creating schemes that feel warm, autumnal, and soothing. Cozy and Luxurious: Using Earth Colors in Your Designs — Types of Earth Colors Image by contributor Pavlovska Yevheniia Below are a few widely recognized colors that fall into the earth group: • Ochre—a yellow-brown color named after the natural clay earth pigment. Ochre actually refers to the family of earth pigments that includes yellow ochre, red ochre, purple ochre, sienna (see below) and umber (see below also). • Umber—a dark red-brown color named after a pigment that contains iron oxide and manganese oxide. When exposed to heat, the color intensifies, creating burnt umber. • Sienna—a yellow-brown pigment that takes its name from the Italian city-state of Siena, where it was produced during the Renaissance. When heated, burnt sienna turns a reddish-brown color. • Burnt orange—a rich, warm brown-orange that’s evocative of deserts and autumn leaves. Discover how you can use a variety of earth and natural tones using the Shutterstock color tool. Explore palettes and images related to a range of earthy colors, including burnt orange, desert sand, and camel. What Colors Go With Earth Tones? Earth colors are one of the most satisfying color groups to work with because they come together so harmoniously. Because these colors are all present in nature they fit naturally with each other. Brown-tinted earth colors look beautiful teamed together, but you can also introduce any nature-inspired color lifted from plants, animals, or the ocean. All nature colors make equally good companions. Cozy and Luxurious: Using Earth Colors in Your Designs — What Colors Go with Earth Colors Image by contributor Eleni Mavrandoni Some nature-inspired colors that work well with the earth color group include: • Olive green • Forest Green • Fern green • Taupe—a brown-gray color that originates from the French word for mole. • Chamois—a brown-peach that mimics the color of the beautiful, supple tan leather made from the European mountain goat of the same name. Earth colors are so versatile that they complement a huge range of colors. Teamed with other neutrals, such as black, white, or gray, they are effortlessly chic and elegant. Paired with bright primary colors, they have the ability to ground a scheme. For a contrasting yet still surprisingly versatile earth scheme, look to neons or pastels. In these palettes, earth colors behave as neutral hues, while simultaneously calming and warming the contrasting color. Powdery pastel hues, such as lavender and pale blue, are particularly effective teamed with burnt orange, brown, or sienna. The Meaning and Psychology of Earth Colors Because earth tones are found in nature and are also subdued with the addition of brown, this group of colors are the opposite of synthetic, brash colors. As a result, they are extremely calming and grounding. Sharing their hues with many expensive materials, such as leather, mahogany, and whiskey, earth colors are often associated with the finer things in life. When used in interior schemes, they give the viewer the impression of comforting, cocooning luxury. Earth tones are instantly evocative of the natural world, which makes them a perfect fit for eco-friendly or rural brands, or businesses looking to highlight sustainable practice. The History of Earth Colors Pigments sourced from clay soil are among the earliest pigments used by humans. Unlike some minerals and metals that require extraction, pigments like ochre, umber, and sienna could be sourced easily from the surface or from exposed earth strata. Ochre was used by prehistoric peoples as early as 75,000 years ago. Pieces of ochre engraved with abstract designs were found at the Blombos Cave archaeological site in South Africa, dated to this period. Variations of ochre were also used to create art in Australia, Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egypt. During the Renaissance period, earth pigments were extracted in large quantities in the city-states of Italy and used in the creation of paintings and frescoes. Umber takes its name from terra d’ombra, or “earth of Umbria.” Meanwhile, sienna is named after the city that popularized the use of burnt sienna in its artistic output.

Image by contributor Ozerov Alexander In the late 18th century, the French scientist Jean-Étienne Astier developed an industrial process for creating ochre pigment. Inspired by the vivid red and yellow cliffs surrounding his hometown of Roussillon, Provence, he invented a process to manufacture the pigment on a large scale. Rousillon became renowned for the quality of the ochre pigment, which was exported widely and used in art and house paints. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, American consumers turned to earth tones in home decoration and fashion to mark a return to peace and calm. The immense popularity of earth colors during this decade was also spurred on by the establishment of the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Cozy and Luxurious: Using Earth Colors in Your Designs — Cozy Interiors Image by contributor Dario Lo Presti Today, designers are revisiting the earth palettes of the 1970s in fashion and interior design. Perhaps in reaction to the ultra-bright, synthetic colors often used in digital technology, as well as renewed interest in the impact of climate change on environmental sustainability, earth colors are experiencing a long-overdue revival. How to Design with Earth Colors In interior schemes, earth tones can be incredibly calming, making them excellent color choices for relaxing spaces such as living rooms and bedrooms. The contemporary take on earth colors might lift influences from the 1970s, but the desired effect is more eco-chic than retro. Because earth colors are more soothing than stimulating, avoid using too many earth colors in areas that require energetic activity, such as studies and offices. Cozy and Luxurious: Using Earth Colors in Your Designs — Eco-Friendly Branding Image by contributor essaya Print and packaging designers should look to earth colors when creating schemes for eco brands, or for businesses relating to the food, wellness, or farming industries.

In the final installment of our mini-series Shattering the Glass Ceiling, Artnet News's art and design editor Noor Brara spoke with pioneering gallerist Mariane Ibrahim, founder of her eponymous gallery. Ibrahim opened her first outpost in Seattle, later launching another outpost in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. Now, as the last year's turbulence begins to level off, Ibrahim is taking another giant leap—this time, overseas—to open a location in Paris. Ibrahim is known within the industry for nurturing an exceptional roster of artists, all of whom she retains a fiercely close relationship with. Though many consider her to be a dealer of African artists, Ibrahim told Artnet News in 2019, "I don’t see artists as ‘African artists,'" adding that reducing individuals with diverse cultural backgrounds would be "very dangerous and opportunistic." This dedication is evident in the strength of the exhibitions and near-universal acclaim that follows in the wake of many artists she introduces to the market and continues to represent, from Amoako Boafo to Clotilde Jiménez. 98 episodes

Turquoise is one of many coveted ancient gems, was adorned by the Egyptians and carved by Chinese artisans more than 3000 years ago. Turquoise has long been considered a stone that guarantees health, good fortune, and protection from evil. Where might one go nowadays for good health, good fortune, and protection from evil? Let yourself be swept off the beach and into the ocean for that refreshing long deserved break in beautiful tropical islands. I created this colour because whether you are painting like an Old Master, a famous Plein Air painter, or a Modern Abstract artist, this colour will help create the mood you are conveying with the stroke of a brush to canvas.

Ponger came up with the idea of creating a museum inside exhibition space, which she called “Museum of foreign and familiar cultures” (MUKUL). In cooperation with the artist we designed the architecture of this fictional museum and built it inversely (45°) in relation to the actual room walls. We also created a logo (together with our trainee Adrian Terzic) for the fictional museum and did the catalogue design. See also catalogue LISL PONGER – SECESSION
