Yesterday in Art Class

We printed. We're not using limestone lithography this year...instead, we're using "pronto plates."
It was fun. Messy. Very messy.

My print. Fourth edition maybe?

We had teams. This is Caitlin sponging the plate before ink gets rolled onto it.

This is Martin rolling ink.

Stay tuned for more prints and my first sculpture assignment...sometime next week probably.

Peter Jansen

Human Motions Sculptures







AMAZING! I can't even get over the incredible work of sculptor Peter Jansen. Capturing motion is one thing, but this level of detail and anatomical correctness on top of that is absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring.
I haven't been able to round up dimensions on any of these pieces but large or small, it's phenomenal. Anatomical sculpting isn't easy by any stretch but Jansen obviously has an incredible grasp on it.
Taking a motion blur photo and pulling it into a 3-D format is no easy feat and this work is flawless. I'm in love.

Theme Magazine

It's been a while since I've posted anything but today was my first day back in art classes and I'm stumbling my way all over the internet to find some new inspirations for upcoming projects in sculpture and printmaking. Needless to say...I've come across some amazing things that I'll be posting over the next few days.

For today...a great new website! Theme Magazine. Each issue is centered around a main theme, with incredible photographers and writers, and cover a wide range of topics.
Honestly, I'm not really that into fashion photography and get fairly tired of looking at what is most times, the same old thing, but this black and white shoot from the February/March issue For The Love Of Food really tickles my fancy. It's the perfect combination of stylized fashion and art, making it more dynamic and, for me, far more visually stimulating than your typical fashion shots.
