This year, <a href="http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/">Spectrum Fantastic Art </a>is hosting it's very first <a href="http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/spectrumfantasticartlive/?page=sfal_home">Spectrum Fantastic Art LIVE</a> conference in Kansas City; normally they put out an annual and have a show at the Society of Illustrators every year for the best in "fantastic" (read: mainly fantasy and science fiction work, but in all honesty, a huge breadth of genres are represented) illustration. <br /><br />Who will be there? It's actually easier to list who WON'T be there. <a href="http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/spectrumfantasticartlive/?page=sfal_special_guests">Check out more information about the conference and the attendee list at their website!</a> Everyone from Mike Mignolia to Phil Hale to the VALVE Corporation will be there, showcasing and discussing their work.<br /><br />More specific programming will become available in April, but I'm sure there will be panel discussions about process, particular projects, etc. as well as portfolio reviews. <br /><br />In addition to Spectrum, Kansas City is home to an <a href="http://www.illustrationacademy.com/new/index.html">Illustration Academy</a> and <a href="http://theartdepartment.org/">The Art Department </a>hub. If you aren't familiar with these groups, they essentially represent the some of the best illustration instruction in the world, taught by some of the finest illustrators working today. The faculty and students past and present will be taking part of the Spectrum show, so I encourage all students to meet them, go down to the hub and see their work, and inquire more about the program.<br /><br />The total cost of a 3-day pass is only $40, which is an absolute <span style="font-style:italic;">steal </span>if you compare it to Comic-Con, ICON, etc. In addition to this, I have arranged for the Kansas City Art Institute to house any MCA students for the duration of the conference-- so you only need to pay for your pass, food, and gas to get up there! Carpool! Make a trip out of it! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">EDIT--</span> Got the costs in from KCAI. A double room will be $30/person per night + a fee for security (which is paid for equally by everyone going. So the more people that come, the less that fee will be per person). All in all, I would expect lodging to cost you around $100, which is still less than ONE night at any hotel in the KC metro area.<br /><br />If you are SURE that want to attend, please let <a href="mailto:jlee@mca.edu">me</a>, Joel, or Shane know. I need to get a general headcount on how many students we have for the KCAI dorm. In addition, we can start to work out carpooling details, etc. if some of you guys need rides up there as well (it's an 8-hour drive.)<br /><br />Take advantage of this opportunity-- I guarantee it will be a lot of fun.John Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10665986628277698589noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-13382996041069223762012-03-09T07:04:00.005-08:002012-03-09T07:10:52.067-08:00Jon Klassen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMMBz6NiZptbT4jqX8fJll4zBTYQVt3-ld0A9OVXOkL1kDrirEwIcGnMMezVYWEJBjr2Df7U-4H24YfHtPtoidmoUqwr1yevssjWqnzHzc27UrL4XEPK1Kmb-1TBdDurUNpGxBRr1fyk/s1600/waterfall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMMBz6NiZptbT4jqX8fJll4zBTYQVt3-ld0A9OVXOkL1kDrirEwIcGnMMezVYWEJBjr2Df7U-4H24YfHtPtoidmoUqwr1yevssjWqnzHzc27UrL4XEPK1Kmb-1TBdDurUNpGxBRr1fyk/s400/waterfall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717914570413962114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7HHZ7rwb3e1DnAPtfGUgdzmHs8kRY1MhFWh1Jxndwx7c-g0pwHkZMPjtRpeEFIsxwOMilVRBw9LGTAo1mZTYCtYwcw40NdXUYSeX670x37i0QFHOFlI8d7O3jLxsyaLMmYbu1BWd3KYg/s1600/laundrydayweb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7HHZ7rwb3e1DnAPtfGUgdzmHs8kRY1MhFWh1Jxndwx7c-g0pwHkZMPjtRpeEFIsxwOMilVRBw9LGTAo1mZTYCtYwcw40NdXUYSeX670x37i0QFHOFlI8d7O3jLxsyaLMmYbu1BWd3KYg/s400/laundrydayweb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717914455718134706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgawZJAAVwgf5802nkg1yc8luflOiVShbz4Q90aWMVy8nW_kG5GRzPKXrRvdQcLobU5MqEPkRefshJvQ7s2ZOTs9yyGUU2mSSoTAfJy-1lpss3OzFHIPYe8pgH1MjAimQDMwuHCGCdG2Yw/s1600/005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 377px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgawZJAAVwgf5802nkg1yc8luflOiVShbz4Q90aWMVy8nW_kG5GRzPKXrRvdQcLobU5MqEPkRefshJvQ7s2ZOTs9yyGUU2mSSoTAfJy-1lpss3OzFHIPYe8pgH1MjAimQDMwuHCGCdG2Yw/s400/005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717914349887310162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5cCxyuxYIJVHc4JoNGJgtZxe7BhZliBRRa_ZlUKt2hC_YyF8lMytgObPsknEAiGPz0dDl8zbrHI4M31d1UsongSSACTXki6eVgIdd5ETNsVtSFeP44JbC92z7j2UK2amFn5CW8cByx4/s1600/001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 330px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5cCxyuxYIJVHc4JoNGJgtZxe7BhZliBRRa_ZlUKt2hC_YyF8lMytgObPsknEAiGPz0dDl8zbrHI4M31d1UsongSSACTXki6eVgIdd5ETNsVtSFeP44JbC92z7j2UK2amFn5CW8cByx4/s400/001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717914143141989602" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.burstofbeaden.com/">website</a>Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05651704242000192934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-84569650917879834482012-02-17T07:23:00.000-08:002012-02-17T09:08:57.280-08:00WebcomicsComics 4 is a class about creating and distributing independent webcomics.

They are also necessary for certain processes like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing">silkscreening</a>, if you want to do any shading or continuous tones.<br /><br />1. Start out by scanning your line-art at 600 dpi (or higher) grayscale.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvCapuDASGd5HrRjzjhTu2toRkVw1B7zChbQE0ghE5nv4S5YdEZdOm7x8w91pB7E1L9eRMI4pEqa8Y4Kb3Lx7z3NrEo-FUSHGtJgTMsN7vUrgi4gWjrdSAQwmv6-Vb5bGx6ibaAo9_fo/s1600/1.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKvCapuDASGd5HrRjzjhTu2toRkVw1B7zChbQE0ghE5nv4S5YdEZdOm7x8w91pB7E1L9eRMI4pEqa8Y4Kb3Lx7z3NrEo-FUSHGtJgTMsN7vUrgi4gWjrdSAQwmv6-Vb5bGx6ibaAo9_fo/s400/1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707231724461080930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />2. Make adjustments to the levels so that the paper looks absolutely white and the ink looks black. Make any corrections you need to. Around this time, make sure the art is at the size you want it to print.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUFsSvDssvuwaGZZVFdn0hXYsfZrpOLhKV78G5qFUbumNlMAEp8NEs2_oTzIjtKAdOXgGXh1ugVT1M4P6q5ufdkh86wecrkwusEOQNqhfu06z6HOw-Zg3zmWbW-nko8jUh8FIYToOVl8/s1600/2.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUFsSvDssvuwaGZZVFdn0hXYsfZrpOLhKV78G5qFUbumNlMAEp8NEs2_oTzIjtKAdOXgGXh1ugVT1M4P6q5ufdkh86wecrkwusEOQNqhfu06z6HOw-Zg3zmWbW-nko8jUh8FIYToOVl8/s400/2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707232829612300530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />3. Now convert your file from Grayscale mode to Bitmap, with the 50% threshold setting.<br />This will ensure that your line art is absolutely crisp.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw1kjVYKfWJKfLCXiBwcbogsvs88bSBm-amab8xfcVK0wLZsZtKbwmP291a-7venZjkQzJumriiSwEAOevo7lpcyymkq4gaQ88aWiELZuqjYqVrPRoMAPSKoHCnU5P5gQWkFnTgmw7ub4/s1600/3.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw1kjVYKfWJKfLCXiBwcbogsvs88bSBm-amab8xfcVK0wLZsZtKbwmP291a-7venZjkQzJumriiSwEAOevo7lpcyymkq4gaQ88aWiELZuqjYqVrPRoMAPSKoHCnU5P5gQWkFnTgmw7ub4/s400/3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707234037059238018" border="0" /></a><br /><br />4. Convert the Image back to Grayscale.<br /><br />5. Now add the tones of grey to the areas you want. You can do this all on the same layer with the paint bucket tool or whatever brush set you prefer.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpMRerKZc4MBYnLaxOyOpXwGdZj5SGq9Qi0n4iCcu9Ql486jXCZl3LnEUMRZxZulXB6akVAxQ5_-epd6azN_jsn4fKaEkHJkp-Fv0OGuaIjRX7xOKJl01nZAyGqGaEa0FXztX6-b8PwU/s1600/4.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpMRerKZc4MBYnLaxOyOpXwGdZj5SGq9Qi0n4iCcu9Ql486jXCZl3LnEUMRZxZulXB6akVAxQ5_-epd6azN_jsn4fKaEkHJkp-Fv0OGuaIjRX7xOKJl01nZAyGqGaEa0FXztX6-b8PwU/s400/4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707235878982917874" border="0" /></a><br /><br />6.

You've slogged your way through and hopefully learned a thing or two in the process. However, I would like to remind you that although this is an important step, it is by no means the end. You still have a great deal of difficult work ahead of you. Often times the outlook can be daunting, even scary. This is normal. Many of you will find yourselves in a strange state of post-graduation limbo, not sure what is the "right" step to take next. This is also normal. Insecurity is normal, it comes with the whole "artist" package. The important thing, the defining factor, is work. Continuing to work in spite of everything else will get you through to your goals. Action is the best antidote to fear. <br />Here's a <a href="http://www.paperwingspodcast.com/2011/05/the-worst-that-could-happen/#more-97">good little article </a> on that topic.<br /><br />So you've made it through school but your work still isn't quite where you want it to be? <a href="http://www.killyourdarlingsatl.com/2010/06/05/video-ira-glass-of-npr-on-storytellingvideo-ira-glass-of-npr-on-how-to-reach-your-creative-ambitions/"> Ira Glass has a message for you.</a><br /><br />Also, keep in touch with your friends from school. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. Don't be afraid to solicit criticism. Listen to people when they give you criticism, but use your own judgement in deciding how to utilize it. Contact the people you admire and ask questions. Momentum begets momentum, so try to keep that ball rolling. <br /><br />This all probably sounds a bit corny, but from my experience I think it's true.

In 1996, he became Senior Designer at the Bay Area firm DesignSite, where he mainly focused on print design and illustration...landing a spot in Print Magazine's Design Annual. With the advent of digital video, his work soon evolved to animation and motion graphics. In 2000 he moved to New York where he completed Food, an award-winning animated film shown on PBS and at festivals worldwide. In 2001, Jack and his partner Matthew Robbins launched Artfool, a multidisciplinary design studio that went on to become one of New York's finest event design companies, later chosen as one of Modern Bride's 25 Trendsetters of the Year and frequently featured on Martha Stewart. Jack has had the privilege to work with some of the best animation studios and directors in New York, and his work has been seen most everywhere there is a television, with spots for MTV, VH1, ABC, NBC, HBO, Showtime, the Style Network and the Discovery Channel, as well as having work featured in The New York Times, Print Magazine, Wired and Newsweek.Pulpatoonerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09905442502700312809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-79404098503848772112011-03-21T11:51:00.000-07:002011-03-21T11:56:35.612-07:00Art podcastsHere are a few illustration/comics/animation related podcasts I like to listen to.

Try out this <a href="http://www.pixelovely.com/tools/gesture.html">Gesture Drawing Tool</a>. You can select the timing of the poses (30 seconds- 10 minutes), the gender of the models, and whether they are clothed or nude. Of course nothing can replace drawing from life, but this could be very useful for brief daily practice or warming up before getting to work.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-46391896984875164292011-03-18T10:00:00.000-07:002011-03-18T10:28:51.619-07:00Hey!

This scholarship will be at least a lowly $100, but might reach loftier sums of $200 or maybe even higher. Funds for the scholarship are gathered in the year prior, and all funds gathered are bestowed on the talented applicant the CLAW chooses. Update: The funds raised for the 2011 Scholarship have reached over $900. And it is potentially available to the student who best fills out this application. You must also be currently enrolled in an institution or have confirmation of enrollment.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.cartoonistsleague.org/scholarship/">CLAW Scholarship</a><br /><br />It's not going to pay your tuition, but it'd buy a mighty nice light table, or something.Pulpatoonerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09905442502700312809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-39007270335093027492011-03-11T17:10:00.000-08:002011-03-11T17:11:35.210-08:00James Jean Paintingx2<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jJ4KmONwHeA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />(via <a href="http://www.mariesnest.blogspot.com">Marie Provence</a>)</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-57009534998630031822011-03-09T18:42:00.000-08:002011-03-09T18:45:15.499-08:00Relevant to Illustrated Story Students<center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjttBKAkYF0WuIOyRIbyfKSMPGhYM0r97bDHavkNfEO_Mi8-AO1AuWMZPhyi2fQQvUoRuSn2onbdEzuVpSwVH7QLBpuCZzXFRMgMfidp9-WqLkUQUxgU7k8quEQPedtBbaB8fMRVAjpcG2N/s1600/doingitwrong.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 188px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjttBKAkYF0WuIOyRIbyfKSMPGhYM0r97bDHavkNfEO_Mi8-AO1AuWMZPhyi2fQQvUoRuSn2onbdEzuVpSwVH7QLBpuCZzXFRMgMfidp9-WqLkUQUxgU7k8quEQPedtBbaB8fMRVAjpcG2N/s200/doingitwrong.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582276690607653730" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/">Manly Guys Doing Manly Things</a> artist, Coelasquid, put up this great <a href="http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/657"><b>article</b></a> about general drawing advice...but particularly relevant is the comparison of her redrawing one of her strips with just the two characters talking side by side (see above) in comparison to the dynamic scenes that she actually depicts in her webcomic.</center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897809789728796173.post-82312202135945478242011-03-07T11:32:00.000-08:002011-03-07T11:33:50.646-08:00Business of Art LectureThis Thursday, March 10 from 6-7 PM, artist Amy Whitaker will be hosting a free lecture series on the Business of Art.
