Immaculate Deception

Yet another great opening for those of you in the Santa Monica area tonight. Immaculate Deception, exhibited at the Copro Gallery, spotlights the work of two female artists, Genevive Zacconi and Ewelina Koszykowski. The opening starts tonight, July 29th, at 8pm PST. Both women will be in attendance, having made the long trek from NYC.



Genevive, is a Philadelphia native, born in 1981. Her oil paintings have been included in Juxtapoz and Hi-Frutose Magazine, amongst many others. She knows the pop-surrealism genre intimately, as she is not only an artist, but also a curator. She was a founding Director of Trinity Gallery in Philadelphia, and currently serves as the Director of Last Rites Gallery, NYC.

'Fade Out' by Genevive Zacconi

 



Ewelina Koszykowski, also born in 1981, immigrated to the United States from Poland at the age of three. She has since honed her skills as an oil painter, having graduated from CCAD in Columbus, Ohio.

'The Humiliation of the Virgin of Naivety and the Prayer for Divinity', by Ewelina

INTRODUCTION

-By Justin Sweet



Glad to be here!



Thanks to Dan and the rest of the guys for welcoming me in to this gang of talent. Hopefully I can contribute in a likewise worthy manner.



Here's a little background on me. I started in games 17 years ago at Interplay Productions as a concept artist. My first job was illustrating an opening movie for a game called Dragon Dice. I was hired to do several black and and white images depicting elves, dwarves, dragons etc. I was contracted to do them at a whopping $100.00 a piece. I was thrilled to get paid money to draw a picture. After slogging away at these images for a few weeks they decided to change them into color. I did a few samples and they liked them enough to bring me in and hire me.  God bless those folks for giving me a chance. I learned a ton there. Interplay eventually split into different divisions and I ended up working in the one called Black Isle Studios. I spent the next several years here as a concept artist and even a  stint as Art Director.



Several years ago I left interplay and began a free lance career illustrating books, games and such. A few years ago I was brought on by Grant Major, production designer for THE LORD OF THE RINGS, to work on The LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. This started my involvement in film as a concept artist which has taken over as my primary work for the last few years. Recently some of the films I've worked on are, THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER, THE RANGER'S APPRENTICE, CIRQUE DU FREAK, THE GREEN LANTERN, JACK THE GIANT KILLER, PRINCESS OF MARS, 47 RONIN, THE AVENGERS, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and recently a live action adaptation of Frank Frazetta's FIRE AND ICE directed by Robert Rodriguez.



Presently I'm illustrating 10 paintings for George R.R. Martin's SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. This project will give me a chance to break out my oils.  Nothing like playing with real paint! I'll post some of this along with other works as i go.



Here are a few images from some of the films and games  I've worked on lately.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Jack The Giant Killer

Pirate Paintings for National Geographic

Gregory Manchess

Sometimes, after waiting for the right assignment for many years, it finally shows up, at exactly the wrong time.



I’d just finished a job that I swore I wouldn’t repeat: 10 paintings in 5 weeks. Long days of nothing but painting, eating, and sleeping. I hit the deadline and said, ‘never again.’ Two hours after laying down the brush, I got an email from National Geographic asking if I’d like to do a series of pirate paintings.

C’mon...nobody passes up doing pirate paintings. Not even if it’s 10 murals and they only have 8 weeks, including research, sketches, and finals. Do they?



I said, “Yes, definitely.”



This is the first in a series of large oil paintings, digitally enlarged as background images for an exhibition of artifacts from the first confirmed pirate ship ever excavated from the ocean floor, “Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah From Slave Ship to Pirate Ship.”

NGS needed a series of four portraits of some of the actual crew members. I started with a thumbnail of three of the main figures, just getting a feel for the project, followed by a more serious study of two of them. I worked from a silicon model head that would be used in the actual exhibition.

There was barely enough time to think on this project. I kept realistic images in my head of what I wanted to paint, and followed those mental images like a paint-by-number process. Here’s the step-by-step sequence of creating a portrait of the lead pirate, Capt. Black Sam Bellamy. I'll follow soon with more portraits and several massive scenes with multiple figures.

Social Contagions & Social Media

Here is an interesting perspective on social contagions, social media, and peer engagement by our friend Sinan Aral. This is from the recent TEDx Silicon Valley conference this year (2011).

Are personal invitations more effective marketing tactics? Or can they be combined with another form of sharing with our peers? This info could be especially useful for filmmakers who use social networking sites as marketing tools.

St. George Process: Digital vs. Watercolor & Ink

By Justin Gerard



Last post I showed the St. George painting executed in watercolor and ink.  Today I am going through the same piece, only this time, working in digital over the original pencil.









My initial digital process (in CS5) is almost exactly the same as my traditional process. I use primarily multiply layers to work up the dark tones slowly until the right values are generally accomplished and the colors and color temperatures are suggested.  Since I am working transparently both ways, the traditional and the digital pieces look very similar at this stage.







Before moving forward, I prepare a lightly toasted waffle with butter and syrup and strawberries and then eat this delicious meal. This is a very important step.



Next (back in Photoshop) I begin to pull up the the lighting on the objects to further define the values.  During this stage I am still working on mostly transparent layers. I am trying to keep as much of the pencil in tact as possible.  My goal for this stage is to really establish the values and colors of the scene and everything in it.  It is much easier for me to start pulling up colors after the values have been worked out. It's not necessarily the best method, but this procedural approach tends to work better for me because my brain was shipped out missing the specific hardware that would have otherwise allowed me to process both value and color at the same time.  (This is why I stare in wonder when I see the other Muddys like Donato or Petar or Greg paint.  They are putting the right color in the right place and it is just amazing to me.)

I am still waiting for the rest of my brain to come in the mail.









Now that the overall values and colors have both been figured out, I can really get into the details without having to worry too much about possibly having to go back and paint over anything. I have more or less idiot-proofed the painting and can now work around it easily and confidently, exploring the nooks and crannies and refining everything. This final work I do in mostly normal layers, leaving some pencil strokes alone and covering others that are grabbing too much attention up.



If you happen to be out the in L.A. area you can check out the pieces at Gallery Nucleus on August 6.

ThunderCats Relaunched!

-By Dan dos Santos



I have mentioned before my love for 80's cartoons here on Muddy Colors, and if any of you attended the IMC this year, you certainly heard me tout it again. So needless to say, I am pretty excited about Cartoon Network relaunching ThunderCats this Friday, July 29th.



I have seen so many movies and comics of late re-vamping old classics (even re-vamps of the re-vamps!), and rarely do they live up to the originals. So part of me was really reluctant to see what they were going to do with ThunderCats. But I must say, I am quite pleased!

The ThunderCats has a really wonderful cast of characters, and such a solid backstory, that there is a TON of potential for a wide variety of interpretations, be it child-like or very adult. You can see some wonderful, un-official renditions of these characters in the recent CGHub challenge.



Ultimately, I think Cartoon Network took a really smart approach. Rather than change the characters dramatically to fit current tastes, they simply changed the animation style. The characters themselves have been altered very little. Even some of the outfits are nearly identical to the 80's version. Yes, the abbreviated style typical of Japanese animation may be to everyone's liking, but it lends itself well to the constraints of animation, and is undeniably popular at the moment, hopefully ensuring the show's success. That is, after all, the real goal... not just appeasing OLD fans, but rather creating a whole generation of NEW fans.



Below are some samples of the pre-production concept art. I particularly love the treatment of WilyKit and WilyKat.

And for a real treat, check out some recently revealed concept art from the original series! It's almost unrecognizable, as it appears the series was initially headed in a totally different direction.

'Meaningful bookmarks submission' : best ways to gain maximum SEO benefits for your website or blog  

Important points to consider while submitting your bookmark links to any of the social-bookmarking sites

• First of all, choose only the good and quality bookmarking sites. Its easy to find out whether the bookmarking site meets the standard quality criteria if you look at- the content part, the design, the PR value, types of ads displayed,tag cloud, quality of the bookmarking features and tools used on the site.
• Stay out if the bookmarking site is looking creepy, Spam-filled, full of pop up ads and banners.
• Dont go bookmarking blindly ! Before submitting your bookmarks to any bookmarking site, check the 'tag cloud' and find out if the bookmarking site has the 'tags' relevant to the contents of your blog/site. Submitting your blog/website pages links to irrelevant sites can do harm to the reputation of your blog site even if the bookmarking site is of great PR value.
• While submitting a bookmark make sure you use the right tags, provide natural description of the link, and make a unique title of your link (don't use your home page or post title of the page).
• Instead of submitting bookmarks to 1000's or 5000's low quality bookmarking sites, submitting your bookmarks to only 100 social bookmarking sites is much much BETTER (and, by the way, don't use CAPITALS-it looks Spammy!)

How to get your bookmarks approved by any social-bookmarking site?

• Well, to be honest, there exist no technical tricks that will get your bookmarks instantly approved. But, yes,  there are many sane ways and going by them no bookmark should  get disapproved or marked as spam. Just bookmark your blog post links in the correct way as most of the social bookmarking sites now-a-days approve each of the bookmarked links manually and they don't approve any of the bookmarks automatically.
• Whenever you bookmark your blog url on any social bookmarking sites there are 3 most important parts you must pay attention: #1-Title of the bookmark to be submitted #2- Description of the story (what this bookmark is all about) to be submitted #3- appropriate tagging.
• Bookmark title-must be unique,different,and creative.
• Bookmark description- Must be at least 2-3 sentence long.No keyword should be repeated more than 2-3 times. Using keyword phrases is more beneficial. Provide unique description for a bookmark when submitting the same bookmark link to the different social-bookmarking sites. You can bookmark the same blog url link on as many  bookmarking sites as you wish, provided that you use a different title and description every time, otherwise your blog url will be marked as spam or duplicate content, which is the worst case to happen for any blog!

I have tried my best to make this listing as worth ful/relevant as possible. But, the nature of various social bookmarking sites keeps changing and evolving over the period of time, and so, every social bookmarking sites list needs to be reviewed constantly. You may bookmark this page as this bookmarking sites list is reviewed on a regular basis. And i would really appreciate any opinion, peace of advice, comments, remarks for the betterment of this list of top social bookmarking sites!
Thanks for dropping by...!
