Guernica 3D

2009-11-28T16:06:00.000-08:00

Examined in digital 3D through this intriguing video.

“Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Pablo Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (1937) Paris International Exposition in the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris.

Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. On completion Guernica was displayed around the world in a brief tour, becoming famous and widely acclaimed. This tour helped bring the Spanish Civil War to the world’s attention.”

2009-08-08T23:06:00.000-07:00

Scion’s Installation 5 Art Tour, which will benefit Creative Capital, arrives in Portland, OR in August. The opening reception will take place Thursday, August 6th from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. at three adjacent galleries: IGLOO GALLERY, ON GALLERY, and VIRTUOSO STUDIOS. The galleries are all located in Chinatown, 323 -325 NW 6th, Portland, OR 97209 (between Everett and Flanders), and the event takes place on the popular First Thursday.

The fifth installment of Scion’s Installation Art Tour was launched in October 2008. The program is designed to give exposure to both established and emerging artists.
Installation 5: Self Portraits highlights a diverse array of artists from around the world and will visit nine cities in total including Miami, New York, Portland, Minneapolis, San Jose, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The tour features new markets Phoenix and Detroit, where the show kicked off.

For Installation 5 each artist was asked to create his or her literal, or non-literal interpretation of the theme 'Self-Portraits'. Video art will be included for the first time in the tour’s five-year history, alongside painting and photography. Artists on
the tour include: AJ Fosik (3-D painting), Alex Hornest (painting), Andrew Schoultz (painting), Angela Boatwright (photography), Asylm (painting), Blek le Rat (painting), Christina M. Felice (photography), Codak (painting), David Choe (video art), David O’Brien (painting), Edwin Ushiro (painting), El Yem (video art), Eriberto Oriol (photography), Eye One (photography), Francesco LoCastro (painting), French (painting), Ian Lynam (video art), J. Shea (painting), Jamel Shabazz (photography), Jeff Soto (painting), Kelsey Brookes (painting), Kofie (painting), Lisa Alisa (painting), Logan Hicks (photography), Mark Mothersbaugh (rug), Nicholas Harper (painting), Patrick Martinez (painting), Peter Beste (photography), Peter Glover (video art), RETNA (photography), Rick Rodney (photography), Rob Abeyta Jr. (painting), Ron English (painting), Saber (photography), Sage Vaughn (painting), Skypage (painting), Something In The Universe (video art) Souther Salazar (painting), Stormie Mills (painting), Tessar Lo (painting), Todd Tourso (painting), Too Tall Jahmal (photography), Usugrow (painting), Will Barras (painting), and Yoskay Yamamoto (painting).

The final tour stop will be at Scion’s own 4,200 square foot Installation L.A. gallery space where all artwork will be auctioned off to the public, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward Creative Capital. The goal of Creative Capital is to create an artistic home and supportive community to nurture some of the country’s most extraordinary artistic creators and to help provide the skills and confidence for these artists to realize their most ambitious dreams. As the premiere national artist support organization, Creative Capital is committed to the principal that time and advisory services are as crucial to artistic success as funding. “Creative Capital is honored to have been selected to be part of Scion’s Installation Five art tour,” said Ruby Lerner, president of Creative Capital. “We are so pleased to partner with an organization that recognizes the critical importance of supporting individual artists and helping to bring the next generation of artists forward. We look forward to joining Scion as Installation Five continues its tour and shares these exciting projects with audiences across the country.” For more info: www.creative-capital.org

First Thursday | Surfrider Foundation

2009-06-02T16:17:00.000-07:00

The Portland Chapter of The Surfrider Foundation along with Wend Magazine are having a benefit art show for Surfrider's ongoing programs to benefit our oceans and the Ban the Bag campaign.

The show will feature various regional surf artists, music by the very talented, Jay Nash and lots of beer courtesy of Widmer Brothers Brewery. Come on down, grab a drink, peep some art, check out the live band, and show your support for Mother Ocean.

Live Music: Jay Nash
It's certainly refreshing to find an artist that refuses to simply dwell on the hard times, instead choosing to bask in the good and the great that life has to offer. At times almost jovial, Nash's charisma and buoyant attitude is infectious to the last with a sound capable of softening the sternest of hearts. There's no sign of an agenda here - Nash's spirited folk revival offers salvation for the masses.

Benefit: 15% of all event proceeds go to The Surfrider Foundation

Beer: Widmer Brothers Brewery

Bonus: 20% off all regular price merchandise from 7-10pm. (not to be combined with other offers)

Classic Margarita

Salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
Ice
2 ounces tequila (blanco, 100 percent agave)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce Cointreau (not Triple Sec)

fresh lime juice is key.
Start by wetting the rim of your glass and putting salt around it. Next, mix all the ingredients except for the Grand Marnier, together in a shaker and pour over ice. Then pour the Grand Marnier on top of the drink and let it float there. Garnish with a sprig of lime and a straw. ¡pásatelo bien!

Bob Marley

2009-04-23T16:06:00.001-07:00

During the course of a white person’s education they will go through many phases including but not limited to: “awkward,” “classic rock,” and “being really into a foreign country.” Of these phases, there is only one that all white people are required to go through before they can obtain their bachelor’s degree. It is known as “Bob Marley.”

Depending on the coolness of the white person, they can experience this stage anywhere between the sixth grade and their last year of college. Regardless of when they went through this phase, every white person can tell you about the time when they had Legend on repeat. If you wish to test this theory, go to any floor in a College Dorm and there is a 100% chance you will find at least one Bob Marley poster.

It is also worth noting that white people tend get into smoking marijuana during this phase. This is why all white people view the combination of the two as one of the most pleasurable experiences on earth. But when white people really want to take it to the next level they will combine Bob Marley, Marijuana, a long weekend and some sort of notable outdoor location (beach, cottage, or patio). There are few activities on earth that are more appealing to white people.

The only acceptable reasons for declining participation are a prior engagement at a music festival or a commitment to go camping.

It’s also worth noting that when talking to white people about Bob Marley there is no need to use his surname. This is because all white people refer to him simply as “Bob.”

Since so many people are into Bob Marley, it is only natural for advanced white people to profess to only marginally liking Bob Marley (note: it is impossible for a white person to outright dislike him). Instead, these white people will claim to preferring more obscure artists like Burning Spear or Peter Tosh.

But be warned that a white person saying they like “reggae” what they really mean is “reggae from 1965-1983.”

Under no circumstances should you ever bring a white person to a dancehall reggae concert, it will frighten them.

Note: if you are talking to a white person who is really into Bob Marley, has dreadlocks, and professes to be a Rastafarian, you should end the conversation immediately. These people are of no value unless you need directions to a WTO protest or have questions about how bad a human can smell.

Nike Presents Onwards - Directed by James Jarvis and Richard Kenworthy

The film was inspired by certain personal experiences in running – a favourite run over Blanchland moor in Northumberland, being attacked by a crow in Singapore – and also by the transcendent, almost psychedelic experience of the simple act of running.

Car sketch

This would be my process for a sketch that would move on to the next step into Photoshop or Illustrator. You can see that I basically have three of the same car sketch but in different variations. 1. On top is a simple line sketch. 2. Overlayed with tracing paper and sketched out but now with color blocking using blue chalk. 3. Is a version using Prisma Color markers. It is kinda of a process and I haven't even started on the computer rendering.

Charting the future of cell phone technology, Kyocera recently unveiled a kinetic energy-powered phone that is capable of folding up like a wallet. Designed by industrial designer Susan McKinney, the EOS phone consists of a soft, semi-rigid polymer skin surrounding a flexible low-energy OLED display. Shape memory allows the phone’s keys to pop up when in use and blend in with the surface during downtime.
