"The Dog"

2012-03-05T19:33:00.000-08:00

This piece actually took me awhile to make. I used a variety of found materials mixing them with drawing. This piece is life size. Once it's out of my studio I don't know where I'm gonna put it. On another note, I have been reflecting on my experience at the thrift store, most people buy things (shoes, tee shirts, etc) and they give those things another life, while in my case when they fall into my hands they get de-assembled and go thru a metamorphosis- finding a new purpose in my work thru their destruction.

NIGHT drawings

2012-03-05T03:43:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I work as a nightwatch at a housing for mentally and physically handicapped. It gives me plenty of time to draw and watch movies....here are some of the drawings, I made it as a little booklet in 19 copies. I was handing it out to V.I.P´s at the opening of my exhibition "KULTPUMPEN" last year @Damp Gallery

SCHWARZ METALL WALD

2012-03-04T06:40:00.005-08:00

This is the front and back cover plus page 1 of the book "Schwarz Metall Wald"(=Black Metal Forest), that i'm silkscreen printing together with Guillaume Soulatges in Lyon, France right now.
Btw, it's also the first finished comic of "S/M chic(k)".
Hmm, should i post the rest of the pages here aswell..any interest in that?

Bluegrass brushwork

2012-03-01T06:44:00.003-08:00

I have been trying my hand at using brushes again. It proves to be something like swimming, or if you are Dutch, riding a bicycle. You won't forget.

This is a design for a friend who organises a bluegrass festival this year, right in my hometown, Rotterdam. The idea is to use this for T-shirts and most likely, posters as well.

Hey! Today is 2 postday! I did this one today after 3 different medieval engravings, who knows which one?

WWIII

2012-02-28T09:07:00.000-08:00

I've always been terrified by the idea of cities being bombed.

Hippocampe

2012-02-28T06:28:00.004-08:00

I love drawing with a brush - While I do illustration on a long period, emptying space thinking of something else (and that's good too), with brush I just need to be very concentrated for a short time (maybe half an hour including sketch). I think it's also more alive cause of hazardous details coming.

I did this one on A3 paper after an hippocampe picture

This other one was done same way (A2 paper)

EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM

2012-02-28T05:18:00.002-08:00

"Itis possible to have the whole story of Oedipus playing in your headand still behave properly at the table." (LuisBuñuel)

GREETINGS, obscure art lovers,

I am proudto present the first issue of EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM - wicked art zine.
There are no strong zine releasing traditions in Lithuania so Idecided to go for a change and to make a vigorous stir in Lithuanianunderground art culture.The idea of self-published zine with bizarreartworks was born in summer 2011. The story of choosing the titlefor it...One of the references is Laura Mulvey's essay "VisualPleasure and Narrative Cinema" (written in 1973 and published in1975), I thought that ideas suggested there also fits for visual artthat has its own meaning/plot/story and adequate images, with abilityto provide „visual pleasure through scopophilia“. As you willturn the pages you will see, that despite of differences betweeneach artistic expression, there are something uniting them. It mightbe distinguished for sympathies to illustrative art & comics,traditional graphic prints and engravings, outsider/punk related art,hand drawings, collages, even some forms of performance art, alsointerests in philosophy, graphic violence, human body, nudity,(auto)eroticism,taboo,obsession, aggression, degeneration,horror, grotesque, demented visions and delusional experiences...

wicked art zine published by Shaltmira. design & photos by Kristina Alijošiūtė.
500 copies, A5, black&white, 80 pages. Artworks, interviews, short stories.

Contributors:Aleksandra Waliszewska (Poland), Martin Bladh (Sweden),Marcel Ruijters (Holland), Kristina Gentvainytė (Lithuania/Belgium),Alkbazz(France), Simon Andersson(Sweden), Manuel Pereira (Portugal),Wiley Trieff (USA), ZIGENDEMONIC (Ukraine), Si Clark (UK), CrippaAlmqvist (Sweden) & Zeke S.Clough, Gaspard Pitiot (France), VctorDvnkel (Portugal), Arturas Rozkovas (Lithuania/UK).

Family Fun

2012-02-27T08:19:00.002-08:00

A random page from my sketchbook. The top is from a photograph from the fifties (i am guessing here), the bottom after a painting by a Jheronimus Bosch follower (imitator) from the 16th century. Funnily enough, I did not realise it at first how both sketches have teeth (or the lack of them) as subject.

I have been re-reading Roy Tompkins' Trailer Trash comic series recently. It is so good, that I am considering a return to brushes (I haven't used them over a decade!) Why oh why did T.T. have to end? *wailings*

Baba Yaga

2012-02-21T03:18:00.000-08:00

Here is my interpretation of Baba Yaga. I had the idea for the image in my head in the style of a 15th - 16th century engraving, I think I translated that well through my digital technique.

Drawing Straws

2012-02-19T08:56:00.004-08:00

Working on some lino cuts for a special anthology, to be realised later this year (although it's not quite sure yet whether the money for it will be there - I am mentioning this so there will be less chance of jinxing it). Anyway, this is just one design of five. Here are some quick tests which I have done while cutting away details.

Hmm, not so happy with the structure on the ground but at least no letters are in mirror view. That would have been plain embarrassing. There is still a little bit of fixing after this, but not much. Everybody who has done this, knows that it's particularly hard to know when exactly to stop.

The theme of cannibalism still occupies my mind. It has been said that the theme of drawing straws among shipwrecked sailors is a strictly theoretical one, because one dies of thirst long before hunger becomes a lethal problem. I wouldn't know...

Horror Book Covers

2012-02-11T14:58:00.000-08:00

...I adore this cover, dont know who did it. I've said before how confusingly few great covers there are for genre books (particularly science fiction, where Richard Powers is one of the only artists who excites me), but I've been looking around anthologies from older horror editors like Aickman, Danby, Lamb, Haining, Wagner, Asquith, Chetwynd-Hayes, Bernard, Davis and Sutton, for good art and there is some. Alden Norton is a lesser known editor of the era.

...JK Potter

...I just saw this for the first time today. I'd really love to have this but I've heard it is rare. Some other editions are called Random House Book Of Ghost Stories, seemingly with the beautiful color taken out.

...I think this is by John Howe.

...This art was done by a friend of M.R James, I cant remember his name but I think he had a go at writing too. There are a few interior images for this book as well in some editions.

...I own the first version and it looks less impressive now that I have seen a version that was probably closer to what the artist wanted.

...These two Brian Lee kids books are amazing. I had the first book when I was a kid and the art and holograms are lovely. I found out about the 3d book later and bought it a few years ago. This sort of art really inspires me, the artist used to have a website but I dont think it is around anymore and I cant find any other similar books by the same artist.

Colorare Humanum Est

2012-02-10T04:04:00.000-08:00

We initiated a new series of book to be coloured, and we are really proud that this series start with the Great Marcel Ruijters, who fund a very good title!
The idea of this book came after Marcel's residence here for a show about illumination I did with his drawings. The ideal will be a complete book about this work but for instance we do that for peoples could make their own colouring.

This was for us first time with homemade silkscreen, & also first time we used offset print from our neighbor. We plan to make other books like that with other great artists...

We sold this 10euro, it's 24pages for 21x21cm.

Ljuba Popovic and Annie Haslam

2012-02-05T10:11:00.000-08:00

Ljuba Popovic has a really underrated output of fantastical art, you can find a lot of the same images across lots of blogs and galleries (do an image search) but none are very comprehensive and I couldnt put together a very good bunch of links because there is so much scattered overlap. But THIS gallery has a lot of his brilliant lesser known art.

Annie Haslam is best known as the singer of symphonic folk-prog band Renaissance (who I'd probably say were in my top 5 prog bands) who have the advantage of sounding less dated because they mostly used folk instruments and orchestras instead of the technology most of the other bands used at the time (although they fell prey to the fads of the 80s and regretted trying to keep up with the times and have recently had a reunion going back to their "true" sound).
But Annie Haslam is an amazing surreal painter capable of some realy gorgeous otherworldly fantasy. 1 2 3 . I'm wary of putting some art on blogs if I think the artist takes copyright far more seriously than I do. You'll just have to take my word for it that I'm not wasting your time.

I've got tons of links that I've built up for a couple of years. I'm not sure how often I want to post them, for the variety of the blog. I might have finished my own current piece of art in a few weeks. It's been a year since I finished anything!

Fish dish

2012-01-23T08:20:00.000-08:00

This is part of a series of design for plates for the same restaurant as where I am planning a mural. This one should be seen as a print for an oval dish.

I had been thinking of doing a story based on Saint Jacob who went as far as preaching to the fishes, who naturally flocked together to listen of course. That is how it goes. Not so sure whether I am going to use that one for my book of saints' lives. It might be just this picture.

The mystery of Jacula / Antonius Rex

2012-01-22T12:48:00.000-08:00

I written here a complete overview of Jacula/ Antonius Rex that I thought was sorely lacking on the internet, the band seems to be full of self perpetuated myths. If you like scary pipe organ playing, castles, churches, graveyards and the myth of Transylvania, I urge you to get the first three albums...

Jacula- In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum

Jacula- Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus (the version without the newly created track "Absolution" spoiling it)

Antonius Rex- Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex

...they are three of my favorite albums ever. Their later stuff is extremely patchy and usually lacking in the qualities that make these three albums great.

Here is the first track of the first album to get you started...

2012-01-18T08:25:00.000-08:00

!BE A PART OF DIABOLICAL PLAN!

GO TO http://igg.me/p/62944?a=367734

What's the Story?

Greetings everyone! I'm Shaltmira, graphic artist from Lithuania and here's my diabolical plan:

There are no old& strong zine releasing traditions in Lithuania so I decided start making changes in this wasteland - I started to develop the idea of releasing extraordinary zine with weird, dark and shocking artworks in summer 2011. I came up to ideal of calling it EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM! I invited fellow artist from Eatenbyducks blog to participate, also posted open call for collaborations in my website and my Facebook page, and also I have written to other interesting artist I know, from Lithuania as well. Now I have all the artworks and interviews and the process of preparing layout for publishing already started (thanks to my dear friend Kristina Alijošiūtė, who agreed to help for free!) and going to be finished until the 1st of February 2012. Then all the material will go to publishing house. Everything needs to be completed until the 9th of February 2012 because I want my zine to be presented in Vilnius Book Fair, which will be on February 23 -26, 2012 (thanks to "Kitokia grafika" for invitation)!

Why???

I'm into propagation of weird, grimy and nonconformist art and to I want to make a great stir in Lithuanian underground art culture with my own released art zine, also to help for Lithuanian artists to communicate and collaborate with other great underground artist from abroad. Now I have collected artworks and interviews / self - introductions from these great artists:

1. Aleksandra Waliszewska
2. Martin Bladh
3. Marcel Ruijters
4. Kristina Gentvainytė
5. Alkbazz
6. Simon Andersson
7. Manuel Pereira
8. Wiley Trieff
9. ZIGENDEMONIC
10. Si Clark
11. Crippa Almqvist & Zeke S.Clough
12. Gaspard Pitiot
13. Vctor Dvnkel
14. Arturas Rozkovas

and also there gonna be my artworks + a short fiction story written by Aeron Alfrey.

What Is Needed & What You Get

With your help in February 2011 we will have A5 black & white art-zine EXCESSIVE VOYEURISM in our hand! Featuring 50 original artworks of 15 different artists from all over the world, along with their interviews / self introduction texts and also one piquant short story!

Since artists donated their artworks for free - I only need money for my zine publishing.

All sponsors and businesses donated 20 USD or more will get a free copy!

If I don't meet this projected goal - my own money will be used to fill in the difference (since I don't have much...I don't want to sell my kidney!)

Other Ways You Can Help

ROBOTS ARE PEOPLE TOO # 9

2012-01-02T10:27:00.000-08:00

Submissions (black & white, TIF or jpeg, 300dpi) are welcome for RAPT # 9. RAPT is an irregular published newsletter (last issue - RAPT # 8 - was 8 pages). The first 8 issues were on a monthly basis but from # 9 on it will be on an irregular basis which can or can not mean it will come out every 3 weeks or every 3 months. After a few months of silence RAPT # 9 is in preparation. Even though RAPT is "only" a zine with a low printrun doesn't mean I'll use everything I'll receive. Make it worthwhile! If I don't use your contribution it does not necessary mean I don't like what you sent: keep in mind RAPT has limited space. If you want your e-mail/contact address will be added in the zine. RAPT is a "limited unlimited" edition: people can reproduce RAPT on the same conditions as mine: no alteration of content & distributed for a trade or as a gift! I'm looking forward to hear from you.

STREGHE

2011-12-26T09:39:00.000-08:00

STREGHE

"In the late 19th Century, folklorist Charles G. Leland wrote about groups of women around Italy, known as streghe ie. witches, who still worshipped the goddess Diana, deity of the moon, and in this Italian tradition Leland was writing about, was known as 'the Queen of witches'. Her brother, who in classical mythology was Apollo, is here called Lucifer, which though not without references to Christian concepts, means 'light-bearer'. In trying to trick Lucifer to conceive a son with her, Diana takes the shape of a cat. "

Yop!
Those days we are managing our next issue of Alkom'X; n°6, and we know some of you are involved in; so I wish to show you how it work.

Alkom'X 5 as same shape as the future n°6 : it's printed on soft paper (bouffant) by numeric ways (aaah maybe someday we'll have enough money to print by offset!) with a linoprint cover. The book is made of 5 different booklets bound together by hands with a technic which is similar to the first decades of XXth c books (paperback) with a honeycomb sewing. Each booklet is made of 6 leaves corresponding to 24 pages.

This is why we need to manage contributions, to know final pages order & booklets composition. Also of course for final price: if I need to add 1 page then I'll need to find 3 pages more because I add one leaf (which is 4 pages). Same; if I need to remove one page it will be a problem for 4 pages... For n°5 I needed to move out 2 leaves, so the book is made like that : 24+24+24+24+16. I can say next one will be 5x24pages (at least!).
We bring paper to the printer, cutted A3 by 10 pack; and we have then to fold by hands each booklets after printing.

Then after sewing each by each (this took one week for 140 copies and with 4-5 peoples); the back is glued. And the cover as to be printed. With lino I can print several color in one move, so for n°5 there's 2 layers on outside & 1 inside + a stamp "5". Total for 140 copies : 520 passages. This took 3 days. After that we cut each book (3 at once).

Finally we paste together cover and booklets, cut the paper in excess, add stamp & verify each copies. Et voilà ! Next issue we plan a final run of 500 while n°5 was made at 210copies.

Photos : 1-folding; 2-printtesting; 3-sewing; 4-pasting; 5-inking; 6-cover; 7-final pasting; 8-final book with stamp.

This is one of the preliminary sketches for it.

The fish are commenting on what's happening along the lines of a 16-century print after Hieronymus Bosch: 'Look son, this is something I have known for a long time. The big (fish) eat the small ones'. But I am not going to use that in the end, it's too obscure/referential. The drawing is probably not going to have any text.

Recently I went to a rather scholarly lecture by Catalin Avramescu, who has written some very interesting things about the cannibal in filosophy as the opposite of everything that makes a civilised man. Of course it's the ultimate taboo, but rather than first-hand accounts, through the ages man has been interested in cannibalism as a theoretical exercise.

Long story short, the "cannibal paradox" posed medieval theologists for a problem. The day of reckoning was always supposed to have the righteous dead rise from their graves, with God piecing together all the little bits that may have been scattered or even eaten by wild animals. (Early medieval frescos show wolves and lions throwing up their victims, very weird!) But a cannibal who has eaten another human being represents a paradox: the flesh of his victim has also become his, as he has absolved it. So those particles are in two places at one: in evil and in good. Not even God would be able to solve that puzzle. So this was quite upsetting. The idea of the resurrection of the flesh had to be moderated.

Somehow, gory pictures don't do it for me anymore. Ideas like these however I find quite inspiring.

On a side note: the crutches used by the half-man are authentic. You can find more about them on Got Medieval, one of my favored blogs.

I made 4 scraped boards comics for a serbian anthology about dreaming of famous characters/peoples... I think now I found my way : scraperboard, silence & improvisation.

Great new stuff all around on EBD!
I'm awfully busy with commissions right now but at least I managed to do some new Cthulhus for myself. Here's one. I've also posted this one and two more on my Human Mollusk blog, with a couple more to come soon.

Artwork For Kauf

2011-12-06T21:55:00.000-08:00

So I've been busy working on a lot of things lately and this is one of them. I created this for electronic musician Kauf. We'll be working together more in the future and I look forward to delving deeper into album cover design. It was partly an experiment to play around with architectural abstractions that aren't Baroque. This was created for a dj set that he recently released on Lost In Records, which has a lot of great tracks on it, listen to it on Sound Cloud here. I'm a great fan of Kauf's own music, there are currently two tracks of his available online here.

You can see a review at The Comics Journal of a board game called Cave Of Evil that I contributed a dozen some drawings to. Most of the artwork for it was created by Mat Brinkman who recently sent me my copy of the game last week. I was excited to see one of my drawings used for the cover of the game manual, one for which I revealed its compositional sketch here awhile back, as well as cards in the game. More Cave Of Evil here.

I'll be exclusively revealing some very witchy artwork that I've been working on here in the coming weeks. Looking forward to revealing my Baba Yaga landscape piece, one of the best things I've ever made.

It seems that content from EBD keeps popping up elsewhere, so I tried to do something not so ripoffable.
Of course, this is internet and plagiarism is nothing new. I remember arguing with mail art folks in the 1980s about the pros and cons of copyright. The ones who never did anything beyond boring-looking collages of other peoples' work (blindfold + hedgeclippers equals "punk esthetics") were militantly against it. Sometimes I think today's technology is a bigger friend to the no-talents than the artists.

Call for Artists!!!

2011-12-04T19:07:00.000-08:00

Attention video game nerds/artists!!! I'm putting together a zine called Bits in Multiples of 8: An 8bit-64bit Video Game Fan Art Zine which, as you may have guessed, is a zine dedicated to the days when the power of a video game system was judged by how many bits it said it had, and how much excellence could be crammed on a single cartridge! The cover of the zine is going to be hand screenprinted, with grayscale interiors, and will be 5.5x8.5 inches, and will feature piles of pixel-fueled radness from a bunch of high-scoring artists!

What I'm looking for is: Original artwork (comics, illustrations, etc.) that is based off of any videogame or videogames that came out for any system between the life of The original Nintendo NES, and the Nintendo 64. This includes games for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Sony Playstation, Sega Master System, Sega Saturn, Ninendo Gameboy, Sega CD, etc. Basically any 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit system. These pieces can be based on a single specific game or combination of games, your personal reactions/experiences with the games, characters from different games hanging out and partying, whatever you want so long as you have fun with it and make sure to capture the spirit of the originals while putting your own spin on it!

I won't be accepting: Art based on games that came out for systems that don't fit the theme (Xbox, Playstation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube, or later), drawings that are too focused on looking exactly like the style of art already created for the game, or exact redrawings of art created for the game or games you choose.

Everyone who submits is more than welcome to submit as much art as they like, but just a word of warning, there's a pretty good chance that everything submitted won't be able to make it into the zine. I hate to be exclusionary, but I will have to be in this case, but so long as you do something that I dig, it'll go in the book, no probelmo!

I am accepting both single page submissions (5.5x8.5 inches) and full spreads (8.5x11 inches). The deadline for submissions is February 28th, so anything sent between now and then will be considered! If you would like to submit, or if you have any questions at all, you can contact me through this blog, or you can shoot me an email at jimmyg@jgillustration.com!!!

Thanks a ton, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!

Ken Russell RIP

2011-12-03T08:38:00.001-08:00

I hope this video works across the world and is not restricted to UK, tell me if it cant be seen. The part about Russell doing things that make you excited about the potential of film is true for me but sadly you come to the realisation that all these amazing things you might see would take a lot of guts, imagination, risk and perhaps money that rarely come together in th film industry. His bombastic aburdity certainly gave me something to aspire to.
