Francis Alys - Fabiola (2008)

“The story of St. Fabiola, a 4th-century Roman aristocrat from the Fabia family who is supposed to have been an early Mother Teresa, became popular in the late 19th century, and an 1885 portrait of her by a French academician (which is now lost) has since been endlessly copied around the world.

Appearing on postcards, posters and religious trinkets, Fabiola has been a beloved subject for countless painters, most of them amateurs. The portrait’s format is almost always the same: Fabiola is seen in profile facing left, her head covered by a rich red veil.

Mr. Alys, who was born in Belgium in 1959 and moved to Mexico City in 1990, began collecting Fabiola paintings—as the genre is called—about 15 years ago, buying them at thrift shops, flea markets and antiques stores primarily in Mexico and Europe. He has previously shown his collection three times, when it was much smaller; the current presentation includes more than 300 works.”

The 25th annual National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest is under way, and entries will be accepted for another six weeks, until June 30, 2013. First prize winner will receive a 10-day Galapagos expedition for two.

Just a few weeks ago, Hindus around the world celebrated the festival of colors, known as Holi. Participants of all ages throw brilliantly colored powders to welcome the coming of springtime.

The Atlantic rounded up a gorgeous set of photos of Holi festivals from across the country of India.

anthonyholden:

What are studios looking for? How can I get into a good animation school? What should I be studying?

I get a lot of these types of questions now and again, and I never know how to answer them. I can’t be sure of what studios are looking for, I don’t control admissions policies to schools, and I have little idea what makes for a current and relevant curriculum. There are a lot of variables in your bid for a career in animation, and it’s kind of impossible to control most of them. You must be crazy to want this job!

I find it helpful to focus on the things I can control. Among those things are your study habits and how you spend your personal time. It’s good to work hard and have goals—without them we would get nowhere. Study hard and make decisive strides towards achieving your art goals. But in the heat of that pursuit, don’t forget to go out and live your life!

If you spend any amount of time looking at artists online, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are about a million dudes and dudettes in internetville who draw better than you (I relive this realization daily). Once your have done your best to rise to their level, the only tool you have to compete with these crazy talents is your background, your personal character—is you!

Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.

I know this advice is not particularly animation-specific, but maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it is something I feel strongly about. Animation is great, and there are few things that I enjoy doing more than drawing and storytelling. But in order to have stories to tell, first you have to live them.

Be good, and see you soon!

PS, if you were looking for advice on draftsmanship you should probably be reading this.

New Prints! Woo-hoo! Yay! Excitement!

I updated my store to include some of these drawings I have been doing recently. Check it out HERE, and maybe even buy something… maybe. I will love you forever if you do.

If you would like a print of something that you don’t see up there, or if you are interested in an original or a commission (or even if you just want to say hi), feel free to message me on here or send me an email. Those kinds of messages always brighten my day!

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

e1n:

Lines 2013 is finally done! Sent to the printer last night. If all goes according to plan it should be available at Fanime in San Jose and Anime Expo in Los Angeles.

Lines is a collection of my sketches and doodles. This year’s book is a bit special to me personally, as it chronicles my exploration with various styles and influences. It’s more than just sketches for the sake of sketching, but a lot of experimentation and learning through trials and errors on my part. It’s been fun for me, I hope you enjoy it as well.

Pertinent information about the book:

Book Dimension: 5.25” x 7.5”

40 pages interior on 50lb aged newsprint with 100lb silk cover

Perfect bound (decided to go a bit fancy this year)

Price: $10 at con - $11 online (to cover paypal fee)

Shipping via USPS: $3 US, $4 Canada, $6 international

Like last year, this is also a limited run, meaning once I sell out I won’t be reprinting these books anymore. I’ll be selling them at this year’s summer convention and will open online sale after cons are over, probably sometime toward the end of July. I will make another post when I open online order.

If you’re interested in getting a copy but unable to attend Fanime or AX, do not worry, I will definitely have leftovers.
