I've been to two figure drawing sessions in the past 3 days. They're my first in two years and I'm all rusty, and still antsy about the performance aspect of drawing in a group. But there are no teachers to call me out and I like the freedom of drawing, not to get better at rendering but as an integrated part of my life. But what am I looking for now if not accuracy or a new revolutionary way of seeing? I want them to be truthful, natural and kind of frightening. Not imagery wise, but scary in that they happened and can't ever happen again. But that's it. I just like the motion of drawing descriptively, and as far as these kinds of drawings go, they inhabit a very seperate space than my other work you know? It feels a lot more like writing or dragging a stick across a picket fence.Rebekka Dunlaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06402398182000744815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933415785862270746.post-48363874457627348562012-07-08T11:34:00.002-07:002012-07-08T11:35:39.138-07:00I'm late, I'm late!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The past week-ish or so I've been wandering around Nyc, getting accustomed to stuff. Am being drawn in more to digital work, partly because of the speed/ freedom I mentioned earlier but also out of convenience since I'm between places right now and don't really have a personal workspace. That's ok! It allows me to work and become more proficient with color choice and design? I do miss painting and water color IRL, but I'll get back to it soon ;)<br />
Ever since doing that Sailor Moon piece I realized how much I love doing close up compositions of people. Just focusing on large shapes, working with cut outs and placing in more carefully drawn elements. Allowing the image to evolve organically, not worrying about making a believable space. Ideas over space! People over space!<br />
I heard someone denigrate an artist recently because "they looked like they didn't know how to make an environment". As artist's we're all preoccupied with different things. Some of us like to sit up on hills and see things from very far away, and some of us want to lean in so close that we brush against a person's lapel and some just close their eyes and listen. It's all good you know? It's better to be obsessed with hills than be obsessed with how to push people off of them.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
My friend <a href="http://www.laurark.tumblr.com/">Laura</a> recently told me
about this Sailor Moon Zine (“<a href="http://www.nameofthemoon.tumblr.com/">In the name of the moon!</a>”) that the cartoonist <a href="http://www.vreniwasaman.tumblr.com/">Vreni</a>
was putting together. She’d already put the first zine together and was putting
out the call for submissions for the second. Wanted to submit immediately, but
was unsure of how to go about properly paying homage to a cartoon that had
influenced me so early on, and in such a lasting way. Especially since its
significance had gone so beyond the original plot and characters. It’s snotty,
but I didn’t want to make “fan-art”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The peak of my Sailor Moon
obsession was at the fat, androgynous and strangely quiet age of eleven. The characters
of Sailor Moon were more real to me than a lot of real world things that were
happening at the time. I would vehemently defend my intergalactic friends
against slander when my family playfully mocked the reverence I had for my worn
and slowly disintegrating collection of manga and books, even being hurt that
they could be so skeptical of something that was obviously brilliant and life
affirming. Any attack on Sailor Moon, was an attack on me. Or so I perceived it
to be haha I’m sure the sailor soldiers symbolized a future where I would grow up
to be a long-legged space warrior, find love and ride motorcycles. It was a feverish,
escapist Delirium I was in that I distinctly remember in shades of blue rain
and bleached summer sun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
If it weren’t Sailor moon it would
have been something else. So I’m thankful that I spent my days fighting evil
scientists and crafting magical things in my backyard instead of getting lost
so early on. So in a way, Sailor Moon was the Bully that was on my side, keeping
me safe on the schoolyard.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Thanks Sailor Moon!</div>

Another simple T-Shirt Design for the Seattle Area German
American School’s summer camp series. I’d done a lot of mock ups because they
wanted a detective themed image. Obviously I was like “WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING
REFERENCING FILM NOIR”, but the kids wouldn’t have gotten it haha, so we just
made something cute. Which was more appropriate because the camp was more about
investigating an environment (Urban, Garden, Zoo, Ocean) than crime. BUT DANG,

Trying to utilize what all my print making classes have taught me and combining it with the infinite possibilities of working digitally. A long time ago I had a huge prejudice against digital work because most of what I saw looked very cheap, but the more I work with it the more I appreciate what it can do. There's something very invigorating about a medium that responds almost instantaneously to your thought process, it feels almost like writing in a journal. Plus because it doesn't require the same temporal linear nature of sketch-refine-color done it bypasses some of the beaurocracy of what it means to make a "finished work". I can have everything going on at once and change any part of the process to my hearts content. </div>

They're a pretty new start up so it will be interesting to see where they go with it. This was really the first proper illustration project I've worked on so it was good in that I came up against a lot of my weaknesses immediately. Learning to balance the practicality of time and energy with your own conceptual idea of what it should be is surprisingly rewarding. It broke the bit of me that was like "this has to be perfect" and instead it became "just give em' what you got!" <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Story of Hansel and Gretel is kind of brutal and scary. On the one hand it's a great story because you see a female lead that defy's her own learned nature to save those she loves BUT on the other hand it reinforces societal fears of aging women all while challenging children's trust in their elders. Did your brain just explode? Fairy tales are UNHINGED. It's unfortunate that now they get watered down through either removing the threatening elements, or over indulging the horror elements for adult film. These don't really act as a bridge from child hood to the serious issues of adulthood. I guess I like to straddle that inbetween in my work, just because it seems to reflect more accurately how people are pushed and pulled through the world. No matter how old we get, I don't think we should ever lose our sense of astonishment at the didactic range of human possibility. Cruel and loving all rolled up into one. We crazy.</td></tr>

There's been a lot of shifting around these past few weeks so updating has been the farthest from my mind. But long story short, I just graduated from the university of Washington, moved and am about to move again but hopefully everything will fall into place soon. I've only been out of school a little more than a week and I'm already wondering how being "in the real world" will effect my work. Though I won't have the same guidance, I can't wait to be self motivated when it comes to my art. Sink or swim right?</i><br />

Anyway! Might as well start with my final project for my senior studio class. Our class collaborated with some students from I think the architecture department (urban planning?) who wanted to host an alley art walk with our class' work featured. I made zines and created a space where I would sit with people and trade my zine for some sort of creative payment, mostly doodles on their part. It was really fun, and though it was designed to make others understand some of the pressure artists feel in creating, I ended up being the one learning how taxing, physically and psychological something as under credited as drawing could be. I was there for three hours and by the end I was so exhausted! But it was so fun to talk to people. There was someone at my table the entire 3 hours but I only made 30 trades. Another interesting aspect of the experience. That it took 3 hours to make a mild connection with 30 people was surprising and highlighted how valuable real human connection is? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is funny, because in the end it turned into a performance piece, and in my first meeting with my teacher Timea Tihanyi I was like "I'm not a performer" :/ walked into that one! </div>

Embroidery for winding down and thinking. It really does feel like this process makes me more concientious in other aspects of my drawing. Probably because when you draw with thread you have to go so slow, and think of every stitch and how it will effect the overall impact of the object you're creating.</div>Rebekka Dunlaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06402398182000744815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933415785862270746.post-66638413660378870672012-05-18T11:03:00.001-07:002012-05-18T11:03:25.385-07:00Side Doodle Central<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I devised a plan to make a zine so that I could explore this sketchy playful ink drawing thing I had gotten into. And so I showed my instructor all these half baked stream of conciousness drawings and was told that I was being lazy and that I shouldn't rely on my ability to make quaint charming imagery. Now, you can call me a lot of things, but lazy or un genuine is not one of them. Needless to say I'm now doing a linear comic/ story board and all these drawings were kind of abandoned. </div>

Putting them together now, I can see that It was going somewhere really great.</div>

Throughout the 4 years of attending art school, I'm repeatedly struck by the lack of patience teachers have or their flexibility when it comes to approaching their students different learning styles. There's no joy in the process and there's an overarching paranoia that makes some (I know, I know, NOT ALL) instructors jump in and try and save their students to just place them on a safe and recognizable path. I can see it in myself when I'm helping in the after school programs at SAGA, it's hard to see those put in your charge struggle. But dang, you just gotta grit your teeth sometimes and let them sweat and figure stuff out on their own. Especially in art where ones survival depends on finding a completely personalized visual language that bridges artist and viewer.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">An Installation piece for the senior Interdisciplinary Visual Art's Honors/ Juried exhibition. I'm not particularly fond of the gallery experience so I threw a visual fit and made a very large awkward man for the show. He wants to be there and be imposing, but then on the other hand doesn't want to let you in. Also, I'd been playing with the idea of embroidery on a much larger and industrial scale so it acted as a small materials study for that. </span></div>

Obviously now I'm kicking myself for not using a better camera though haha, especially to get the texture of the head covering. But alas, the idea that he would only exist for a couple of weeks, then disappear felt very important to me. The dismal quality of the photo's makes you wish you had seen it in person, huh?</span></div>

I had the opportunity to work with <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/angelajaquith" target="_blank">Angela Jaquith</a>, friend and classmate, on a stop motion collaboration. She does way more ambitious stuff than this, but I'm so glad that she approached me and was willing to scale back her creative potential to work with a numb-skull like me. She brought so much knowledge to the table, and floored me with her technical abilities as well as professional set up. Just the equipment and editing alone that goes into something like this was eye opening and I'm glad that my introduction to the world of film was so well chaperoned.<br />
<br />
My contribution was just creation of the painting and harrassing a friend to come in for awhile and put up with us dressing him up and bossing him around. He by the way did an awsome job. Thanks Casey Hart!<br />
<br />
Together Angela and I discussed and rationalized how to build out with each tiny movement, and it was fun to discover what strange things happen when you come together with someone else. On the one hand it doesn't fit exactly with what you would ever make, but then there's this kind of magic in knowing that whatever comes of the collaboration, you could never ever have concieved it by yourself. So in that sense, building something that required a collision of practices makes it very precious.<br />
<br />
Here are some detail shots to give a better idea of what was actually happening to the painting since in the final version some details were lost.<br />

Here are some photos that I've uploaded onto twitter of doodles that for whatever reason normally get thrown out or forgotten somewhere. Taking photos seems like the best immediate way to take them with me so I thought I'd start a virtual sketchbook that will file stuff that exist only in a digital medium i.e photography, photoshop etc. away into one place. What better place than my blog :)<br />

It's a zine that is open to everyone to submit to so if anyone has some time make sure to check out the due date for the next one. So far it looks like a lot of cartoonist folks are submitting and hopefully there's enough people so that it can come out next month! The theme is <i>Tiny Worlds </i>and it's kind of exciting how each person is taking it. Some are referencing literature, some recent films and the styles are so different that the final product should be kind of great. So make sure to check the link in a week or two!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> And For Chris: GRACE JONES! I know that all those who were formally taught to do embroidery would be horrified by the backs of what I make, but the jumps in fiber and chaos is something that I look forward to when I turn the final product over. That something develops unintentionally definitely reinforces the concept of portraiture by alluding to something that can't be gleaned from surface characteristics.

The class was designed to create an environment that allowed students to develop a personal studio practice before being thrown out into the real world. It was a nice reprieve from assignment based work but also difficult, because it makes you question what your art can be if it's not serving a commercial purpose. So I spent the quarter experimenting and thinking my way through what painting is, and the history of painting. Specifically the whole, no woman painters thing, the whole, line vs. color vs. representational vs abstract vs conceptual thing. <div> Anyway, I only put one piece into the Senior show. Everything I made was so jumbled. Interesting experience wise and to chart a thought, but inneffective when placed next to each other. Meh, so goes it haha. I learned a lot though about how to treat a space, and the realities of what can be done in such a short time. There's another show coming up for the IVA honors kids in about a month, so hopefully I can come up with something more cohesive.</div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It's finals week at the University! Obviously I waited until the last minute, but this time is wasn't even because of the usual procrastination. Most of the work I had previously made I knew exactly what I wanted to use, or say, or ask. But this time, there was no voice inside. I had to build everything from scratch and blindly feel my way through the making process. So the final ended up becoming about that frustration at personal boundaries... and my new record player I scored at Goodwill recently (Cha-ching).<br />
<br />
That's not even what I wanted to write about though. What I really wanted to tell you guys about was the critique itself and how my peers really rose to the challenge with their wonderful enthusiam. For some reason when I got up my heart was racing, and I was sweating and my muscles were all tense. Why so nervous? One thing I've found at UW is that people really love what they're doing, but also have this love of interacting and helping their classmates. There's not much ego, or if there is it doesn't get in the way of giving amazing feedback. Having them be so supportive meant a lot, and made me want to give them back as much as they gave me, if not more.<br />
<br />
So yeah, Thanks sound class :)Rebekka Dunlaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06402398182000744815noreply@blogger.com0
