Drinking & Drawing #7

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Drinking and Drawing High Quality from fredseibert on Vimeo.

Animators + Animations = Drawing Jam Session, that’s what this is all about. A group of 10 animators is called up to the drawing area. Each animator receives 8 blank note cards, as well as the last card from the animator that drew before them. They have exactly 10 minutes (that’s 75 seconds a card) to continue the animation on each card. At the end of the night you have a short film created by dozens of animators! Above: the Bikini Zombies Drinking & Drawing episode produced by Frederator Studios.

“Victoria Bartlett is significant because she thinks not just about the way a woman might look, but about the ways that women might dress. Her work flows from a profound comprehension that clothes are like another layer of skin–an exoskeleton that can be layered on or off to suit the purpose of the day, or the moment. She resists the easy categorization of underpinnings vs. apparel, activewear vs. daywear, and so on, and in so doing, seems to me to see into the future of style.”

What’s a sweet way of competing with a 6 yr old? Drawing of course! The problem is when you realise he’s better than you at sketching the animal kingdom. Try checking out this link on flickr ; you may find it quite amusing to see what happens when a simple gemoetrical shape actually transforms into a living thing!

The slogan on the 3M site says “So express yourself in color”. The TO DO project by the NY based public art collaborative Illegal Art, literally  followed that claim by producing a series of creative public art expositions using post-its all the way.

Knitting can be a relaxing activity to dwell in after work, but there are some people that have transformed this leisure past time into an unexpected job. An example is Nina Braun, the german artist and designer, formal owner of a skateboarding company, who started knitting around a lot of cool stuff such as textile pictures, toys and sneakers. Visible from Michael Kraft’s pictures the Puschen* For The Cosy Generation series. *’Puschen’ – is a german word for slippers.


Julian Wolkenstein & his funny horses

London-based Julian Wolkenstein has worked on tons of serious ads, but when it comes to his personal work his reason is it ‘tickles his own fancy’. He just found it hilarious to think of horses with big hair. In an interview by Zack Seckler on F Stop Magazine he says “It’s just nice to do something that has no reason. There was never any intention to set the world aflame with the project. It was just purely because it made me smile, made me laugh. People wanted to put in a strip line on the bottom of a neutral work and say it was theirs”. A mixture of work-come-pleasure just for the fun of it. We approve 100%.


MASH-UP YOUR SENSE

On the 6th May 2009 Dopolavoro presents: Link 7 / Mash-up Television: La tv del remix, del riciclo, del riuso - which means the tv of remix, recycling and reuse “..archive retrievement, creation of new meanings and nostalgia for the television of the past”. Link is a magazine which proposes themes, ideas, models to follow (or acutely avoid), by hinting as to what’s going to be found in each issue through it’s cover story. Analysing and suggesting the world that lies behind television, Link provides us with a very fascinating point of view of the box with the greatest hypnotic power of contemporary history. Just show up & enjoy! Check out the site http://www.link.mediaset.it/ and the blog http://linkmagazine.blogspot.com/
