She began by simply showing her work, and I wrote a few notes of what stood out to me before she began speaking. Her work in general tended to keep the texture of the paint, but it still managed to have a lot of detail. A lot of her work really captures scenes of life and the figure. Some appeared more like family photographs, with several of the figures looking straight at the viewer. There also seemed to be a large focus on children and motherhood. Her flower images also were often very centered.<br />When describing her work, she mentioned a few things that stood out to me. She said that her work feels more meaningful when smaller, and her goal was how to create meaning using a small space. This related to how she grew up in an apartment with a large family. She also felt she had more of a story to tell when she became a mother. She also mentioned that she preferred her work to be a focus on the everyday rather than just happy families, and she did this through various lighting techniques. Her work overall has nice contrast and color, and it was interesting how she worked with the concept of family without it becoming too cliche.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-1552892496199126706?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-47374716213789440682009-03-24T22:10:00.005-05:002009-03-24T22:54:47.537-05:00We're working on our second visual essay, but I never posted my first:<br /><div> </div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScmqoVIQZ4I/AAAAAAAAB48/H0QNr6aIEGw/s1600-h/webvisualessay1.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316968444930844546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScmqoVIQZ4I/AAAAAAAAB48/H0QNr6aIEGw/s200/webvisualessay1.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Scmqo2sqDwI/AAAAAAAAB5E/164JLp60Vb8/s1600-h/webvisualessay2.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316968453941890818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Scmqo2sqDwI/AAAAAAAAB5E/164JLp60Vb8/s200/webvisualessay2.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Scmqo3Tq64I/AAAAAAAAB5M/H5086NtBgX4/s1600-h/webvisualessay3.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316968454105525122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Scmqo3Tq64I/AAAAAAAAB5M/H5086NtBgX4/s200/webvisualessay3.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScmqpDlHt3I/AAAAAAAAB5U/cnLCaaiKOWU/s1600-h/webvisualessay4.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316968457399940978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScmqpDlHt3I/AAAAAAAAB5U/cnLCaaiKOWU/s200/webvisualessay4.png" border="0" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-4737471621378944068?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-86559850938620467272009-03-17T17:53:00.003-05:002009-03-17T22:52:00.302-05:00<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314369978979964834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScBvVtIZ16I/AAAAAAAAB4M/8UGntc-DPfc/s320/04fishing550h.jpg" border="0" /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScBvd1VxLNI/AAAAAAAAB4k/o1BpzM_27G4/s1600-h/06faucet800w.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314370118622457042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScBvd1VxLNI/AAAAAAAAB4k/o1BpzM_27G4/s200/06faucet800w.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.mitchfreyart.com/">Website</a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScBvmXaUjXI/AAAAAAAAB40/MNQp2Sf6zuA/s1600-h/streetlight700h.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314370265207311730" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/ScBvmXaUjXI/AAAAAAAAB40/MNQp2Sf6zuA/s200/streetlight700h.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Mitch Frey has been illustrating professionally for 13 years.

Kevin began his career studying fine art, photography and graphic design at the Alberta College of Art, later studying industrial art at The Ontario College of Art in Toronto. His illustration style often incorporates the use of photography and typography as design elements to convey a message. His work is hand generated, but composed digitally, often combining different images and textures.

Traci illustrates in a range styles from clean digital vector, lines and shapes, to a detailed approach with painterly color and texture. Along with her own design business, Traci co-owns and provides illustration, photography and fonts for an online royalty free stock imagery company called StockBucket.com.<br /><br />Some of her past clients have been Starbucks, Nordstrom, Mountaineer Books, Globe Pequot Books, Seattle Metropolitan, Seattle Times, NW Source, Precept Brands, Otis Kenyon Wine, Corvus Cellars, Velocity Cellars, Madison Park Greetings, Portland Monthly, Skirt Magazine, Unleashed Books, Braided River Books, Skipstone Books, Windermere Real Estate, and Singular Magazine.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb-Y7YlGE7I/AAAAAAAABr8/_RZQ6TCCX2Q/s1600-h/Illus-Image-Factory.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314134231298216882" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 173px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb-Y7YlGE7I/AAAAAAAABr8/_RZQ6TCCX2Q/s200/Illus-Image-Factory.jpg" border="0" /></a>I like Traci's simple and graphic style, mainly how she creates her textures.

After attending the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, he was an art director in LA. In 1983, Rayne moved to NYC for a few years where he found himself buying vintage art from Illustration House. He then moved to Seattle in 1985 to focus more on his own illustrations. Rayne's balance between art direction and illustration has continued through the years. Communication Arts Illustration Annual and the New York Festival's World Medal Award are only a few of the many recognitions he's received while collaborating with other artists. He works with a style that focuses on use to the line, and incorporates it with ink, digital media, and watercolor.</div><br /><div>His clients from the past have been Breyer's Ice Cream, Dupont STREN fishing line, General Motors, ABC News, Lucite Paint, Yamaha Musical Instruments, JanSport, Sun Microsystems, Washington Mutual Bank, Weyerhaeuser, Nordstrom, Milgard Windows, and Toshiba.</div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb629KyKB1I/AAAAAAAABjc/ojFlq_-UKbY/s1600-h/u-move.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313885772326766418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 163px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb629KyKB1I/AAAAAAAABjc/ojFlq_-UKbY/s200/u-move.jpg" border="0" /></a>I enjoy the simplicity of his linework, and how he creates a narrative through a few simple strokes.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb63E-niqvI/AAAAAAAABjk/Zr2dPRVXOjE/s1600-h/martini.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313885906499971826" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 163px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb63E-niqvI/AAAAAAAABjk/Zr2dPRVXOjE/s200/martini.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-5759716948532635836?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-43335000935729908612009-03-16T12:01:00.002-05:002009-03-16T15:14:31.304-05:00<div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb6y0bj0fUI/AAAAAAAABi0/FQstGlnKz6A/s1600-h/a3338a1013.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313881224164703554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 141px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb6y0bj0fUI/AAAAAAAABi0/FQstGlnKz6A/s200/a3338a1013.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb6y6IfRM2I/AAAAAAAABi8/V78rIP0Z6F8/s1600-h/a3338a1004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313881322124555106" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 141px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/Sb6y6IfRM2I/AAAAAAAABi8/V78rIP0Z6F8/s200/a3338a1004.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.shannonm-e.com/">Website</a></div><br /><div>Shannon MacGrogan-Ellis graduated with honors from the Ringling School of Art &amp; Design in 1991 with a BFA in Illustration.

A point that Gary Panter made that really stood out to me was the idea of making a list of what you love and hate to start any kind of art. We seemed to do this in illustration class, but it really seems like a good idea for creating other ideas for other classes. He also mentioned problems with society getting swirled too much into media, and how we should go to an earlier version of ourselves before we'd been so influenced by it.  This also brought up the other part he mentioned about for artists was that anything we learn, it would be best to learn the old fashioned way first. This stood out to me since I've always been so based on digital skills that I haven't been focusing on traditional mediums as much.<br /></div><div>Gary Panter's work itself as he mentioned, has a sense of lonlieness to it, and it also seemed to play with humorous ideas as well. What was also interesting to me is that he liked psycadelic light shows from the 1960s, and the pieces he created and described really demonstrated his focus of painting with light. The 1960s aspect seemed to stand out in his work with a lot of the ideals at the time.</div><div>His work and lecture brought up ideas of reaching beyond the exterior of ourselves and viewing how we portray ourselves as humans in general. I really can relate to his mention of art not just being for selling, but it being a spiritual trip.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-1248666255325284455?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-42781327845018957642009-02-17T11:29:00.005-06:002009-02-17T11:46:09.550-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr3Lj4PG0I/AAAAAAAABaI/ujpyXH4wyrU/s1600-h/AndreaCobb4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr3Lj4PG0I/AAAAAAAABaI/ujpyXH4wyrU/s320/AndreaCobb4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303823289163914050" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.andreacobb.com/">Website</a><div><br /></div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr2o7LrKvI/AAAAAAAABZ4/tHgC5el-KX8/s320/AndreaCobb2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303822694124038898" /><div>Andrea Cobb attended Parsons School of Design in New York where she received her BFA in Illustration in 1988.  After living in Manhattan for ten years, she now works in North Carolina.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some of her clients  have been Quaker Oatmeal, Ritz Carlton, Target, Toyota, The Wall Street Journal, and</div><div> Yoga Journal.</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr2nfZBGCI/AAAAAAAABZw/zJKC7V_BF1s/s320/AndreaCobb1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303822669483939874" /></div><div>Andrea Cobb has been featured in media for advertising, corporate, editorial, package, card and stationary.  She recently has launched limited prints of landscapes.</div><div><br /></div><div>She mixes Illustration, Fine Arts, and Surface Design to work with high amounts of color and pattern.</div><div><br /></div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr3MHkn2bI/AAAAAAAABaQ/yx4SVIU01DY/s320/AndreaCobb5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303823298745326002" /><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZr2pdH6x4I/AAAAAAAABaA/O0tYEj4D6MY/s320/AndreaCobb3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303822703235090306" /><div>I really enjoy her designs in their simple styles.  They're really whimsical and playful, and I also enjoy how she incorporate color choices and text.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-4278132784501895764?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-44767638238791504822009-02-11T07:02:00.004-06:002009-02-11T07:20:01.172-06:00<div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZLPtC1qaiI/AAAAAAAABZA/uCTesAHl9I4/s1600-h/rosen07_r4_c2_f2.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301528084131506722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 201px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZLPtC1qaiI/AAAAAAAABZA/uCTesAHl9I4/s320/rosen07_r4_c2_f2.gif" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.kimrosen.com/">Website</a></div><div><br />Kim Rosen worked as a graphic designer for several years in New York before becoming an<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZLQFdfUKyI/AAAAAAAABZY/t_7L-MGiGDU/s1600-h/rosen07_r4_c2_f7.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301528503602391842" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 201px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SZLQFdfUKyI/AAAAAAAABZY/t_7L-MGiGDU/s320/rosen07_r4_c2_f7.gif" border="0" /></a> illustrator.

I enjoy graphite and watercolors among traditional art tools, but overall I prefer digital media. I enjoy working on scenes from real life, especially human and animal figures.<br /><br />What sort of career do you want to have?<br />I'm still a little unsure completely on this, but I know I want a career I can enjoy always at least a bit. I want a career that helps me expand my work and help me grow not just as an artist, but as a person. Whether through children's books or magazines, I want to deal with real life issues and scenery in my work.<br /><br />Does your present body of work reflect your aspirations? Could it do so more strongly?<br />Some images do, while others seem to stray a bit, as I either was going according to an assignment or I was testing a medium I'm not too familiar with. I would just need practice in media I really enjoy.<br /><br />List ten images/themes/techniques/subjects/formats that your portfolio needs in order to become more in line with your aspirations.<br />1. More textures in my work<br />2. Practice on traditional media, mainly watercolors and graphite<br />3. Combine more mediums<br />4. Have more dynamic images<br />5. Create more scenes from daily life<br />6. Explore more concepts and metaphors<br />7. Practice in general<br />8. Working more with humorous or cartoon styles<br />9. Creating more of a style that is solid and less varied<br />10. Spending more time on drawings<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-5910186378422974975?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-1212164945226942932009-01-25T22:02:00.004-06:002009-01-28T02:50:00.671-06:00If you had to spend the rest of your life illustrating one book, what would it be? Why?<br />It most likely would be a graphic novel, dealing with everyday life and touch on psychological and philisophical issues in the world. I really enjoy reading books dealing with these in general; Working on a project like this would be useful in dealing with issues I've faced as well as issues I've seen others face, particularily youth issues that always seem to not be dealt with as much. I would also really hope the that the book still had humor in it, as not taking everything too seriously is something I would really hope the book would keep as a theme.<br /><br />If you could go apprentice with any two artists in the history of the world, who would they be? Why?<br />Most likely Salvador Dali, to see how he incorporates psychological aspects into art, and Rembrandt, to learn more about painting and how he handles his style.<br /><br />If you were banned from the art world, but could have any career you wanted that wasn't in art, what would it be? Why?<br />I actually was considering becoming a psychologist a few years back, but I'll go with what I wanted to be as a kid: a veterinarian.<br /><br />Describe the project you would propose under the following circumstances:<br />1. You have one month and one thousand dollars<br />I'd make a short children's book; the money would be spent on publishing, editing, and art supplies. I'd have to work quickly, and would make it for younger children. It would be a small hardbound book.<br />2. Six months and ten thousand dollars<br />I'd make a short graphic novel series, with a few editors and art supplies for the line art, and I would shade it digitally.

Thumbnails are made, and these are according to the assignment. I usually then create a basic sketch in my sketchbook of the thumbnail I choose. I may sketch a few quick sketches of it to alter some things. Then, if I'm painting, I'll use either my sketchbook or illustration board for the final image, depending on the size. For digital work, I use my sketchbook for the sketch, scan it, then redraw and color it in Photoshop or Illustrator. After finishing, I'll usually go back and check for any messes or perspective problems I might have made.<br /><br />Describe what you think your creative process should be like.<br />I really need to focus on making more thumbnails and finding more than just one of them that I like. For my digital work, I really should work more on creating the final drawing beforehand, as I often will leave the drawing a bit sketchy when scanning, and I'll usually mark a few things I will go back and fix digitally rather than fix them manually. This usually results in creating awkward moments, as once it's on the computer screen, it's a lot more difficult to see the overall image and be close to it at the same time.<br /><br />Research and describe a professional creator's creative process.<br />Susan Wenz-Denise is a contemporary oil painter, and she begins her process with writing in a journal to help get through anything that may be blocking the creative process. She then proceeds to sketching several sketches. When she begins painting, she paints at least three paintings at a time, so that she spends the entire day painting to keep focus on creativity and also the oil paints don't dry quickly. She has several underpaintings, that this process continues her creative flow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-8365788371616269336?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-75761804414441473882009-01-22T23:15:00.007-06:002009-01-28T03:51:57.724-06:00Of the artwork that you have done, what is your personal favorite piece? Why do you like it?<br />Of my recent pieces, I've really liked my celebrity piece of Ricky Gervais. Working with more dynamic perspectives and expressions was really fun for me.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SX_WYejDmzI/AAAAAAAABWI/0-lAuePFdyo/s1600-h/image5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296187402816297778" style="WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SX_WYejDmzI/AAAAAAAABWI/0-lAuePFdyo/s320/image5.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAqZiBX5kI/AAAAAAAABXQ/u-CxzEqNwhU/s1600-h/onlinesketch4.png"></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div>What piece do other people like most? Do you agree? Why do you think they like it?<br />There's been a few people who have liked my 100 monster piece. I wasn't sure it came out ok myself, but it really was fun to make. The people that like it usually like the concept the project worked on with inner demons, as well as the whimsical-ness.<br /><br />What piece surprised you the most?<br />Probably the Peabody piece was surprising, as it was another piece a few people liked that I wasn't sure about. I also did like how the building came out, because I'm never too good at buildings.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAFVsbt1DI/AAAAAAAABWY/LJWKMr1wKng/s1600-h/image1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296239032050504754" style="WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAFVsbt1DI/AAAAAAAABWY/LJWKMr1wKng/s320/image1.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /> </div><div>Choose five doodles or sketches that you like as much as any of your finished pieces.</div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SX_fSdfwZJI/AAAAAAAABWQ/QR52eXO3b5w/s1600-h/image6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296197195059455122" style="WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SX_fSdfwZJI/AAAAAAAABWQ/QR52eXO3b5w/s320/image6.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl2BYFstI/AAAAAAAABW4/ggvD59Cpcec/s1600-h/onlinesketch1.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296274771800339154" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl2BYFstI/AAAAAAAABW4/ggvD59Cpcec/s320/onlinesketch1.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl29rVBDI/AAAAAAAABXI/gyMZvvy80kc/s1600-h/onlinesketch3.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296274787987162162" style="WIDTH: 211px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl29rVBDI/AAAAAAAABXI/gyMZvvy80kc/s320/onlinesketch3.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl2V3DajI/AAAAAAAABXA/bvllFVG8tHY/s1600-h/onlinesketch2.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296274777298922034" style="WIDTH: 233px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAl2V3DajI/AAAAAAAABXA/bvllFVG8tHY/s320/onlinesketch2.png" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAqmOlAlQI/AAAAAAAABXY/WeulFo9sn_4/s1600-h/onlinesketch4.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296279998024422658" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SYAqmOlAlQI/AAAAAAAABXY/WeulFo9sn_4/s320/onlinesketch4.png" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4235667570022667770-7576180441444147388?l=lisa-gibson.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08596755992362874101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235667570022667770.post-32117018943824233782009-01-21T21:19:00.006-06:002009-01-27T20:46:34.915-06:00What media do you like working in?<br />I mainly enjoy working digitally, but I also like watercolors for softer effects and textures; I also like using graphite and sometimes ink.<br /><br />What media do you hate working in?<br />I'm not too good with acrylics, and I could possibly enjoy them more if I practiced; I don't really like charcoal mainly because I'm not great with blending or handling smearing.<br /><br />What media would you like to try, but haven't?<br />I haven't really tried much 3-d focused media used for sculpture. I've made sculptures, but I've never been very active in general with any of the mediums involved.<br /><br />List three non-Illustration classes that have influenced you and/or your work positively.<br />Life Drawing really helped with working with the figure and expanding my sketchbook. Design Systems was really helpful in my craftsmanship, seeing as I often smudge, smear, and make messes on everything including digital prints. My Animation Techniques class was also helpful in playing with movement and 3-d aspects of a figure.<br /><br />How has the work of your peers influenced you and your work?<br />They've really helped me see really interesting new styles and concepts I'd never even considered before. One thing I really noticed is incorporating texture more and how paint and other drawing mediums have been played with stroke and style-wise.<br /><br />What sort of subject matter do you like to create work about?<br />I enjoy slice of life moments a lot of the time, with bits of fantasy and magic occasionally and sometimes like to draw simple scenes of people and animals in daily life. I really would like to work more with bits of humor in my work, lately.<br /><br />What sort of subject matter do you like to read about?<br />I read a lot of short stories usually set in modern times, and I'll read advice columns in the paper as well as a couple philosophy books; I've been reading Descartes' ideas recently.<br /><br />What kind of music do you like?<br />My music tastes are pretty random; I'll listen to a lot of trance and techno as well as Frank Sinatra. I'm open to most music; the only music I honestly don't listen to is country.<br /><br />What non-art related interest/hobbies/skills do you have?<br />I don't really have many, but I do like baking different dessert recipes.<br /><br />What is something that you like that nobody else likes?<br />I like the game Bioshock a lot.<br /><br />If you had run of the world's museums, what three works of original art would you like own?<br />Any piece done by Charles Schultz, M.C.

I’ve thought both sides have some valid points, but I tend to lean towards being against it. With the “eye for an eye” response given often by the pro side, I often see that as being on the same level as a murderer.<br />Life without parole seems like a justifiable option, in that perhaps living that way for years on end could be a valid punishment. The issue is brought up with money, and in reality it usually costs more to execute a criminal than it would to keep them alive in jail (Montaldo). A study in Kansas indicated that a capital trial costs $116,700 more than an ordinary murder trial. In California, capital trials are six times more costly than other murder trials. Complex pre-trial motions, lengthy jury selections, and expenses for expert witnesses tend to add to the costs in death penalty cases (Dieter).<br />It also often looks like the justice system runs into problems of whether or not the prisoners are actually guilty. In 1993 in North Carolina, Levon Jones was wrongfully convicted of a murder in 1987. Despite being innocent, he spent 16 years on death row. In North Carolina, three innocent men have been released since December, and there have been a total of 129 innocent people released since 1973 (ACLU). With a corrupt judicial system, how can we be absolutely sure that those on death row are absolutely guilty? The death penalty is permanent for those who are innocent.<br />Another issue that the death penalty hits is mental illness. Recently, in Nashville, a severely mentally ill man named Richard Taylor spent 18 years on death row for a 1981 murder. Despite already known to have a mental illness, prison officials had stopped giving Taylor his anti-psychotic medication two months before his attack (ACLU). Mental illness cases often can be difficult, in that they might not always be legitimate. With cases like these though, severe mental illnesses can’t be seen in the same light as those who are mentally capable, especially if the mental illness has been apparent for some time.<br />As I mentioned before, the death penalty just comes across as merciless to me, and it creates another murderer in its own way. It seems that there just isn’t enough focus on evidence or a sound judicial system, and often bias, apathy, or hate create the corruption within it. It obviously can’t be perfect, but life without parole isn’t a permanent solution, and more could be done towards evidence.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Sources: </span><br /><span

Then with his airbrush, he creates the final piece using multiple layers of transparent color, which allows the white of the paper to illuminate throughout the image. By incorporating bold colors, gradient blends and the sense of textures and patterns, he creates action with the characters. In some of his artwork, he pushes the image to the extreme by creating an exaggerated three-dimensional prospective.</div><br /><div align="left">Some of his clients have been AT&amp;T, Arizona Lottery, Harcourt Brace, Houghton Mifflin, Learning Company, Pearson Learning, Portal Publications, Publications International, Macmillan, McGraw Hill, San Francisco Ballet, Scholastic, Steck Vaughn, Time Warner, Time Magazine, William H.

She attended graduate school at Pratt Institute while working as an art director at a small graphics firm in New York City. She then moved to Dallas, Texas where for the next eight years she worked in post production creating animation and special effects for advertising, music videos and documentaries. For four years she was commissioned to create animated opens for the annual Dallas Video Festival. These animations were featured at the festival and later on public television.<br /><br />Some of her clients have been Johns Hopkins University, The Walters Art Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Baltimore Sun, La Dolce Diva, Inc., The Urbanite Magazine, Whiskey Island Pirate Shop, and Ghirardelli Chocolate Company.<br /><br />Her workin<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDfF4c-uw6I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/02z2woCetiE/s1600-h/fussel5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203845468092548002" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDfF4c-uw6I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/02z2woCetiE/s200/fussel5.jpg" border="0" /></a>g method involves various media; she mainly creates collages often with digital aspects with torn paper.

She has many sources of inspiration that include dreams, her childhood, faces, figures of speech, and places she loves to visit. Her goal is always to create characters, scenes and moods that viewers of any age can appreciate.

She has shown her work at the annual Artwalk, Art Academy, Westin Hotel, Federal Building, Bread and Cie, La Jolla Library and other local venues in San Diego. In her paintings, she likes to explore the qualities of the media, the use of color and interpreting each subject in a personal way. Her subject matter tends to be about everyday surroundings - whether landscape, still life, people, birds or animals; memories are often a theme for her work.</div><br /><div>Some of her clients include Hay House, Inc., Marks and Spencer, Schurman Design, Harcourt Education among others.</div><br /><div>Her work method is mainly oil painting, and the illustrations tend to be whimsical with a painterly feel. Strong color and conceptual imaginary imagery are most important to her work. <br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDZlHM-uvpI/AAAAAAAAAjI/NlYfqT7S6mc/s1600-h/stammj1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203457593891012242" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDZlHM-uvpI/AAAAAAAAAjI/NlYfqT7S6mc/s200/stammj1.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDZk78-uvoI/AAAAAAAAAjA/jHzki0BBDQc/s1600-h/stammj3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203457400617483906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_peyCRZd2W1w/SDZk78-uvoI/AAAAAAAAAjA/jHzki0BBDQc/s200/stammj3.jpg" border="0" /></a>I really enjoy her work's painting method.
