northern lights

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

this was painted in photoshop. i looked at a bunch of photos before i started, but not while I was painting. i wanted to do something slightly removed from the real thing. this is for a project james and i are working on (well mostly james, i just did the animation at the end). i'll link to the video when it is released.

drawing with Johnny

Canon has some kind of auto-rotate feature embedded in the camera, hence the sideways images that I don't feel like fixing. Sorry about that. At least I found out why. By next post I'll fix it. These were done last night at the Brooklyn Artist's Gym, which is a great space on 7th St. between 2nd and 3rd Ave. The manager there, Rhia, is fantastic and the class was a nice relaxing time. Went with Johnny and hopefully we'll be going more often. They're mostly 30 sec or 1 minute poses, longest one may be 15 minutes or so. Sad you can't really tell which one. Ah well. Keep practicing.

Blogger is publishing all this stuff sideways. I don't know why. Sideways is better than nothing, and I don't have the patience to figure it out. These were done at Mark's life drawing class. I did them for Danny, who wanted something to hang on the wall for his new baby girl. Too much? Nah, no one reads this. I think its ok.

Edison Price

Monday, October 3, 2011

Drawing I did today at Edison Price Lighting in Long Island City at 22nd St. and 42nd Ave. This is a custom machine built in their factory that takes about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch of aluminum off the outside of a certain size lighting fixture - like the one seen on resting on the bottom of the machine. These guys would figure out what exactly they needed, draw up the plans, build the whole thing and weld it together right there. They're gradually being phased out as computers and computer guided machinery are taking over, but these types of machines are all over the factory floor and they are beautiful. George Closs took me through a lot of Edison Price's history today, more specifically their recent history, and showed me exactly what a lot of these machines do. They have some very exciting contracts finishing up right now and in the works, including the World Trade Center custom lighting.

Image of Poor Little Pizza! Ain't Good for Nothing

I gave this to my buddy Jim at work, who I share an office with, and he was able to tell me the exact dialogue of this scene when he saw it. Jim's a good man.
