</div><div style="background-color: cyan;">1) You're all liars and I'm revoking your admin privledges (NOT)</div><div style="background-color: cyan;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: cyan;">2) I had an idea was actually inspired to work on a painting for the first time in a long ass time. Unbelievable!!!!! So now I need some stupid fucking supplies. At least I can jack paint and brushes. I hate buying canvas. If I'm not willing to pay that much for a roll of chartreuse crushed velvet (which my little heart so desperately yearns for), I'm not willing to pay for canvas. Whatever. Stupid.</div><div style="background-color: cyan;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: cyan;">3) I want to do something with the flower photos I've been taking at work. They are really interesting and I hate how Nature looks so fake when anyone paints it or even takes a really super good photo. I'm all "PHOTOSHOP ALERT" Nah Mean??????????

MathewuseI think that the commentary going on in the <a href="http://paint-shit.blogspot.com/2010/04/andrea-fraser-untitled.html">last post</a> is really great and if you haven't read it, you should do that now. But.. in my free time browsing the internet (and watching a Sweet Valley High tape I got earlier) I was looking at some of the old, great covers of Sweet Valley High books (Debuted in my birthed year of 1983) and reminiscing about spending hours and hours and hours and hours alone as a youth reading. I always loved these covers so much, but now I feel like I'm probably going to add this guy to my list of artist critique in the upcoming Soggy Stuff #6 along with Gil Elvgren and Charles Gibson.<br />

I don't care, I have always loved Roy Lichtenstein.<br />
<br />
There was so much to take in and there is so much more to write about. I only made it 1/3 of the way through The Met. I absolutely love seeing really familiar popular art, it's pretty hilarious and all the reprints never really do them justice. I think (and I know you all do too) it's so important to see things in real life. However every time I saw Picasso Bozly's voice popped into my head and said "Fuck Picasso".krankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15347243825447861342noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625453235646187704.post-60606175654270074872010-02-19T01:09:00.000-08:002010-04-27T11:08:42.822-07:00PAINT SHIT field trip<div style="text-align: center;">lets go to london mates!<br />

A literal living hero of mine is<a href="http://www.ravenblond.com/"> Phoebe Gloeckner </a>(b. 1960) and her past cannot be summarized adequately with texts and photos of her work. Her book 'Diary of a Teenage Girl' is an absolutely quintessential read for all women and anyone interested in 60s/underground/SF history. She's currently a professor at University of Michigan and I would absolutely love to be in one of her classes (where they draw Crumb panels and MAD magazine pages). Her father was an artist too although she grew up with her dysfunctional mother and younger sister. Her adolescence and young adulthood in SF, while vividly unreal and insane, set her up for a successful comix career. When she was a teenager, Crumb would come to her house and look at her sketchbooks and write comments in them. She's a freaking amazing comic artist and story teller. As a young artists, her DIRECT influences were The Bunch (Aline Kominsky Crumb) and Diane Noomin etc and she has been published in Wimmin's Comix and Weirdo among tons of other underground mags. She has a medical college background in medical illustration and does amazing anatomical drawings. All of these elements together: artistic influences as a child, her immersion in underground 60s Comix culture, her unbelievable personal experiences and her professional medical education as an artist, make her an incredible influence and her honesty makes her a powerful and real hero.<br />

I seriously suggest checking out her books 'Diary of a Teenage Girl' (Which I hear they're making into a play) and 'A Childs Life'... the latter has a lot of full color medical drawings and some rock posters and that sort of thing. Also the aforementioned Weirdos, Wimmin's Comix, as well as Twisted Sisters, Young Lust and I HIGHLY recommend the Comic's Journal #261 (2004) interview by Gary Groth with her is really great. She was also on <a href="http://www.pbs.org/pov/tintinandi/">PBS' P.O.V.

I hate the popularity of 'Graphic Novels' and there's of course so much politics revolving around this industry. But I really want to shine some light on some of the great painters. I know this stuff is a little dated but when you say "Comix Painter" the first name that comes to mind is<a href="http://www.alexrossart.com/"> Alex Ross</a>. He's totally famous for his superhero stuff but I think we're all a little bit more familiar with his political work:<br />

I guess the thing that stands out the most about Ross' work is that he has a really steady and prolific career in the Superhero industry and his reputation as a quality artist is flawless... is it his wealth and respectable career that allows him the political freedom to say so much in his paintings? In the male dominated world of comix, homosexuality is still "scary" and it seems so rare to see images like this in the industry. It seems like something should have "mysteriously" happened to him already but since nothing has I hope we continue to see this more "edgy" graphic art being released.Miss Soggy Smoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08434051034917344978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625453235646187704.post-15920050545658446502010-02-14T13:03:00.001-08:002010-02-14T22:27:59.627-08:00warning: contains dead things<div style="text-align: center;">Sally Mann<br />American, b.1951<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-33gqss-KMQqUY0-kMyQz7GE8_yS68Uh6V6UZuKip3yuIFJkHKtNYmJYkqqmSoEr_rfQO-218MgywwgnorO12ZCPKTOKMQk_ZI9aKjZ4c69QSRbP35NnSMP1Kgtapo88ns728sWQwrOg/s1600-h/mann.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-33gqss-KMQqUY0-kMyQz7GE8_yS68Uh6V6UZuKip3yuIFJkHKtNYmJYkqqmSoEr_rfQO-218MgywwgnorO12ZCPKTOKMQk_ZI9aKjZ4c69QSRbP35NnSMP1Kgtapo88ns728sWQwrOg/s320/mann.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438208133697679202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAlgS9o3W64kevAuWtUWN1bOUp-nasF_Aq26XvOcoQRvGuXnvTS_w0Yzu7dSB6PlF1aSHsuDIULd0NmBghTAmNei2hruA_qiQRK43yqOcHgTtcBjMOMU1T_154v40Oxpl4IrDp9_x4BgQ/s1600-h/mann4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAlgS9o3W64kevAuWtUWN1bOUp-nasF_Aq26XvOcoQRvGuXnvTS_w0Yzu7dSB6PlF1aSHsuDIULd0NmBghTAmNei2hruA_qiQRK43yqOcHgTtcBjMOMU1T_154v40Oxpl4IrDp9_x4BgQ/s320/mann4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438208130189494898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii32dO_e9kpwqW_z1pT-KsJ8PRc4SVj-Xsqn0B5fDZG0QLfxZeDRAlWvMpOy8OqkTqlqnXiQAvhU6XyX5pUoOg9yPclzcbIuMmAK2UCxBU1DkTegmvBjL6b08WNj-MYNxeZjinSJzji-4/s1600-h/mann7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii32dO_e9kpwqW_z1pT-KsJ8PRc4SVj-Xsqn0B5fDZG0QLfxZeDRAlWvMpOy8OqkTqlqnXiQAvhU6XyX5pUoOg9yPclzcbIuMmAK2UCxBU1DkTegmvBjL6b08WNj-MYNxeZjinSJzji-4/s320/mann7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438214110013574018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5UKJydrC72u4YnRzJmL0lH3y2GjAnYZR0j3FemaCzd3VyaMSsXPzLx7FTGL2GwkpjSjdRrG0nAtMgRymQ8-w5qIOtTY0B-rvEa8P_47ygLH3x2Srlr8Ccg0HB0yf3GrUDyZHrExjv0A/s1600-h/mann6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij5UKJydrC72u4YnRzJmL0lH3y2GjAnYZR0j3FemaCzd3VyaMSsXPzLx7FTGL2GwkpjSjdRrG0nAtMgRymQ8-w5qIOtTY0B-rvEa8P_47ygLH3x2Srlr8Ccg0HB0yf3GrUDyZHrExjv0A/s320/mann6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438214105389120738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6T5Mc9iT0sIkLKgMN_UQZiNdgaw-IZMkm2zGhtUoAOVqgR9oiGr5MxnpW9zEUWcyjVemkDkD3j3i_OLX2F00ptRnbzrOiZccKq1McLOQ8N2QSqKgH2BDaF8mtPnE4fF-9AZuFg4Np4vE/s1600-h/mann5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6T5Mc9iT0sIkLKgMN_UQZiNdgaw-IZMkm2zGhtUoAOVqgR9oiGr5MxnpW9zEUWcyjVemkDkD3j3i_OLX2F00ptRnbzrOiZccKq1McLOQ8N2QSqKgH2BDaF8mtPnE4fF-9AZuFg4Np4vE/s320/mann5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438208126795757778" border="0" /></a>I have long been a fan on Mann's earlier work, which consisted of a highly controversial series of her children. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Immediate Family</span> was quickly labeled as "child porn" by some and "luminously beautiful" by others. Mann was unapologetic about photographing her children, who as it turns out, were doing very children like things. Being naked, getting hurt, running around, sleeping, playing. The fact that Mann chose to capture these intimate moments with her family and display them evoked questions of her intentions. Some's concerns were for the children, and others were simply outraged by the use of nude children. Regardless of her woes in the early 90's with this series, Mann has remained true to her work. Now, nearly two decades later, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Immediate Family </span><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>is highly regarded as a poetic and striking portrayal of the family.<br /><br />In the years following <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Immediate Family </span>Mann seemed to veer towards a different direction and focus on death and mortality. The question of what a "body" really is, and what happens to that "shell" we spend our lives in after we die fascinated the artist her work work began to illustrate the degradation that comes with death. One could argue that all of Mann's work seems to have an underlying aspect of mortality to them, but this theme became extremely evident when she started photographing dead things of all sorts.<br /><br />I recommend that everyone see <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">What Remains</span>. It is a beautiful doc about what Mann is currently doing with her work. It also allows her and her children to discuss her earlier work as well as illustrate the Wet Collodion process she uses, which just blows my mind.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vvh5h07IWVs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vvh5h07IWVs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>mandershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17168475439207582271noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625453235646187704.post-21647169558245208132010-02-14T11:11:00.000-08:002010-02-14T11:27:41.713-08:00This little world that went berserk<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Julie Mehretu (American, born Ethiopia, 1970)</span><br />

In my adult life, I've never really spent any time messing around with Paint. But my recently aquired shiny laptop has the Paint program for Windows 7 is really nice and fun to use. I made like 35 "paintings" in the same amount of seconds. Sad how easy it is, actually. I really like the "oil brush". Anyway, I really want to know what your "Faux Pauxs" look like and what your experience in digital painting is.<br />
