Chris Holloran

OMG! I LOVE the work of British artist Chris Holloran. His drawings and murals are super awesome. I also really like his really simple animations that combine drawings and stop motion animation. They bring me back that feeling of being a kid, when something could turn into something different and the transformation was natural and very real. 

If you like Chris' animations then I think you should also rent the Science of Sleep. Plus Gael Garcia Bernal is in that and he's hot.

scribble sheet

I needed to do something creative but fun today so I made a Scribble Sheet! Apparently, only a few minor details have changed since childhood, such as the ability to listen to explicit music legally. Have you checked out Lisa Currie (aka OPPY's) The Scribble Project? Do it! You should totally make one of these too!

While you do that, I'm going to write Maria a letter and we both can wait for Jonathan Taylor Thomas' comeback!

Weekly Tao #9

One of the greatest challenges of being an artist is never being satisfied. Does this sound familiar to you: once I make something the next thing I want to do is create something new. OR, and even worse, start judging and editing the piece I just finished. Can a girl get some satisfaction up in here?

 

I edited this post because I didn't know what I wanted to achieve with it. Such a fantastic example of how blogging about art even leaves room for expectation. Ok, I feel satisfied now.

Weekly Tao #8

 

I had some hand surgery two weeks ago on my money maker. My other hand, the right hand, is completely unavailable for any type art making whatsoever so I've been itching to make something. I'm pleased to report that I can draw again, and that my left hand hasn't felt this great since...well, along time.

The first thing I made was a Tao Te Ching quote.

I know you're probably wondering "what happened?" Honestly, I'm thinking about making 'zines where I get real and talk about the stuff I don't share on my blog because I don't like and/or want to. I'm sorry, I just can't get that personal online, but I find drawings and writings in small booklet form a completely acceptable mode. This blog just can't do what I want it to in order to tell a story.

I'm not going to try to fight this, forcing some personal blog entries here. This is just the way I feel. Time to flow around it and make some 'zines.
