Thought: It is freezing in Providence! 25-35....I am so much of a sun/hot weather person. How did I survive 5 winters in Lawrenceville, Wash U, and now here??!! And because of global warming, we are going to have longer and colder winters, and longer, hotter summers, what will happen to Spring and Fall?
Photo: I always see this shot coming from the back of 15 West...that is Prov Wash, and the Illustration Building...
Web Design: Today was Richard Gann's final for web design. I was so nervous showing mine but then it was fine! Saw some portfolio sites and work that was mind-blowing!
Illustrator: Morgan Blair, RISD 2008. Amazing master of pen, pencil, digital, and photography, and yet keeps her unique, raw style and personality. Her photography is beautiful as well. I saw one of her most recent pieces in a show for Advanced Projects (independent study class) and it was one of my favorites. At her prolific and highly distinctive rate, she will be famous and busy with commissions in no time.
Illustrator: Nick Bach, RISD 2008. Highly detailed linework in mediums from paper to wood. I can see his pieces in tons of shows on the West Coast and also in High Fructose or Juxtapoz.
Thought: I was going by the freshman dorms today and ran by some work rooms, noticed some fantastic stuff, and made me feel good to be a student at RISD and be surrounded by so many talented and passionate artists!
Illustrator: Rob Dobi, RISD alum, graduated from the illustration department and is a remarkable illustrator, character designer, graphic designer, and photographer. Found this illustration he did for his book Your Scene Sucks, a hilarious book/website/rant mocking the emo crowd, particularly the abundant amount of hipsters at RISD. As he writes, its a "strange contest where the winner wears the tightest jeans, puts on the silliest looking makeup, and sports the worst haircut. in the end, everyone loses. you all end up looking the same." I completely agree . For more silly and obnoxious stereotypes: click here.
Art/Illustration/Printing: "The amazing artisans at Pressure Printing announced two magnificent new signed and numbered prints from a couple of my favorite living artists." The image below is Mark Ryden's"Madonna & Karl, a 5.5" x 6.5" intaglio embossed print is mounted in a hand-made and hand-gilded wooden frame. Price: $5000! WOW. Other featured artists are James Jean and Alex Gross.
Textile/Printing: My friend Ilene Godresky, RISD Textiles '09, printed tons of sloths on bright fabrics and pasted them all over her kitchen, so cute! Ilene is also going to be a star!
