There's a new show up at the Bear and Bird gallery! You can check out their photo stream <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearandbird/sets/72157632906600791/">here</a> and here's the link if you wanna collect some <a href="http://www.bearandbird.com/shop/product-category/girls-vs-boys/">art</a>.<br />
<br />
I made one large piece.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
And then eight smaller pieces (2.5" by 3") that each have one hidden piece of artwork within the frame.<br />

I can't tell you how excited I was to be in the show! It was also a great excuse to reread the stories. The storytelling really is amazing! I especially liked seeing the differences and similarities with modern storytelling. Even back then it was all about characters and choices. If you haven't read any of the stories in a while I would highly recommend it! <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kOM5WA8KFGE/Ta_jiPKwCaI/AAAAAAAAAJU/5N5fxdxMty4/s1600/The-Wren-and-the-Bear.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kOM5WA8KFGE/Ta_jiPKwCaI/AAAAAAAAAJU/5N5fxdxMty4/s320/The-Wren-and-the-Bear.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597943039171496354" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The Wren and the Bear</span><br />Ink and Watercolor<br /><br /><br /></div>My approach for most of the artwork I did was to make you wonder what happened to get the characters in the situation or wonder what is going to happen next. Hopefully those questions inspire you to pick up a book and read the stories again. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-66BC_7iCdWs/Ta_kMy3mHjI/AAAAAAAAAJc/XMZ0EQjJuGw/s1600/Watch-out-Death-Dude%2521.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-66BC_7iCdWs/Ta_kMy3mHjI/AAAAAAAAAJc/XMZ0EQjJuGw/s320/Watch-out-Death-Dude%2521.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597943770309336626" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Watch Out Death Dude!</span><br />Ink and Watercolor<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Watch Out Death Dude!</span> is from the story <span style="font-style: italic;">The Messengers of Death</span>. It's a piece that is a bit of a tangent from the rest of the story but I loved the visuals of how the story opens. Even if you just go back and read the first couple of paragraphs I think it's totally worth it!<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--LGsy-yhKF8/Ta_mj1NJH-I/AAAAAAAAAJk/7y0BQXtM83g/s1600/Brother-and-Sister.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--LGsy-yhKF8/Ta_mj1NJH-I/AAAAAAAAAJk/7y0BQXtM83g/s320/Brother-and-Sister.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597946365096828898" border="0" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Brother and Sister</span><br />Ink and Watercolor<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Brother and Sister was a lot of fun to do and I tried to put a few subtleties in with this piece. One of the things I wanted to hint at was the brother keeping watch for his sister just to play against their relationship at the end of the story. I also thought it would be fun to get a deer somewhere in this piece to foreshadow things to come. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lwEJqKYAbnU/Ta_pokhRiZI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/ERHB07pWCOI/s1600/More-Grimm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 187px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lwEJqKYAbnU/Ta_pokhRiZI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/ERHB07pWCOI/s320/More-Grimm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597949745052092818" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pa5Z2b2qPzI/Ta_oT3-5fdI/AAAAAAAAAJs/HzkTzzVW6NU/s1600/Grimm-pieces.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a>I'll post some more pieces when it gets closer to the opening.

Here's a link in case you haven't seen it yet: <a href="http://scissorhands20th.blogspot.com/">click here for the Scissorhands blog. </a><br /><br />Now Nucleus Gallery is hosting a show of the original artwork from that blog this weekend!

The Bear and Bird boutique in Florida has put all of the artwork still for sale online! Here's a link to their store: <a href="http://bearandbird.mybisi.com/products/current-exhibition-ss4/?page=1&s=pricelow">Small Stuff 4 artwork.</a> Check it out. There are still a ton of cool pieces available. I think they have photos of the event posted as well. <br /><br />The bad news for any of you online buyers? I think all of the pieces I did have already sold. Sorry. I hope they have found happy homes in sunny Florida. Sounds like a good life to me.<br /><br />Which leads me to the next show...<a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/exhibition/268">The Super Big Micro Show!</a> Here are a few of the smaller pieces I did for this upcoming show:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/TPXg4NOmqXI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Pfmnx5lUZ40/s1600/Felipo.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 243px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/TPXg4NOmqXI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Pfmnx5lUZ40/s320/Felipo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545585772404844914" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Felipo, espresso aficionado.</span><br />Ink and Watercolor<br />2.5" x 2"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/TPXgz6cQRvI/AAAAAAAAAI0/jSTBSSGXc-k/s1600/Crush-on-Pinky.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 243px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/TPXgz6cQRvI/AAAAAAAAAI0/jSTBSSGXc-k/s320/Crush-on-Pinky.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545585698642347762" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Somebody has a crush on Pinky...Wink, wink.

If you do plan on buying anything from this show I would suggest signing up for the online preview. And if you want to see some of the freshness everybody is doing check out <a href="http://themicrogallery.blogspot.com/">the Micro Gallery blog.</a> I think most of the artists have links from there.

Seems like a ton of artists are going to have stuff on display and it's for one night only! All of the money is being donated to the Loma Linda Children's hospital and if a piece isn't bid on then IT gets donated to the Loma Linda hospital. It's a win/win situation as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />Hope you get a chance to check out all the sweet artwork in person, it should be awesome!Aurianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07726538714676184569noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364083065383940428.post-87157597854401391302009-12-07T20:23:00.000-08:002009-12-07T20:59:42.795-08:00Power In Numbers at Nucleus!This show kinda snuck up on me. Sorry for the short notice. Here's what I did:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/Sx3YOxwPxWI/AAAAAAAAAFg/Nkt2nr6Lkfs/s1600-h/air.traffic.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PW4iW6bTrt8/Sx3YOxwPxWI/AAAAAAAAAFg/Nkt2nr6Lkfs/s320/air.traffic.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412720075554669922" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Air Traffic</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">5x7<br />Ink and Watercolor</span><br /></div><br />I looked at a lot of cool Japanese woodblock prints for inspiration on this piece. I was going to add tails to the kites until I read that Edo kite makers believed that if your kite needs a tail to fly then it wasn't made very well. Tough principals, I love it.<br /><br />My goal was to somehow have the power in numbers creating a problem instead of the usual lovey-dovey-gooshy-gooey happy stuff. Lots of kites messin' with the flight path of a bird seemed to do the trick.<br /><br />For all the details on the show you can check this <a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/">link</a>.
