Artist Research

Brezinski Ilya 



Brezinski Ilya is a Illustrator, graphic designer and tattoo artist from Minsk Belarus working and living in Saint Petersburg Russia. I discovered his work online when researching pointillism artists. 
His subject matter was the first thing to grab my attention, his work is very dreamy and surreal, his compositions are very well though out and pleasing to the eye. His work beckons you to look twice as you will notice something you didn't the first time. His use of tone is excellent, something I need to work on with my pointillism works, I will take inspiration from that.

Lex Wilson





Lex Wilson is an artist from Cambridge Uk currently based in Nottingham. All of his work is self directed and created in his spare time. He uses the same pens as me I noticed. 
His dot work style and processes are very similar to my own. his compositions though are better than mine and his use of occasional colour really adds to his pieces. I will experiment with colour in my works from now on and try to find a comfortable balance.

Jared Muralt




Jared Muralt is an illustrator and artist born in Bern, Switzerland. He is a self taught artist that is inspired by every day life. His subject matter varies from reportage to surreal elaborate mechanisms to dot work angler fish, and everything else in between.  His mark marking and draughtsmanship skills caught my attention when looking for artists. His work has a confidence to it that really comes across. His pointillism pieces are beautiful and his sketchbook works are fantastic, I will take inspiration from him and continue to research him in future.

Miguel Endara




 Miguel Endara earned his art degree from Miami University Florida. His pointillism/dotwork pieces are incredibly life like and detailed, he really has mastered the art of stippling! His pieces are composed of millions of little dots which he counts and gives an accurate estimation of the total dots used. His works take him sometimes up to a year to complete and are drawn at a very large scale. His work has inspired me to continue to pursue my pointillism until I reach a standard when I my work is comparable to his.

History of Zines

What is a Zine?

A zine, or 'fanzine' is normally a pamphlet style magazine or comic covering a wide spectrum of interests and cultures, normally published without profitable intention.
Usually published in quantities less than 1000, most commonly less than 100, zines are a way of expression and spreading your feelings to a mass audience. 
Fan fictions, politics, art, personal journals, ideals, social theories, the music scene and almost everything else be it mainstream or mouth-wateringly personal are topics covered in zines. 


Where did they come from?
It has been said that zines have been around as early as 1517 at the time Martin Luther published his work "Ninety-five Theses". This happened when Johannes Gutenberg had invented the printing press, a revolutionary invention that led to the spreading of the self-publication craze. 
In 1776 Thomas Paine Published his pamphlet aptly named, "Common Sense". Common sense spoke of the pro's and need for independence and challenged the authority of the British Government and the Royal Family in a simple and easy to read way. "Common Sense" was published on the 10 January 1776 anonymously and was distributed widely. It was grossly popular and the people would read it out loud in meeting places and taverns.

Zines Continued to be popular right up through the 1930's where the fanzine emerged and small time science fiction zines were in abundance. The popularity of the publications during this era set forth a full scale emergence of new self publishers and available content.
During the 1970's, zines emerged as part of the punk scene. These 'Punk zines' started out in the UK and the U.S.A, and by the late 1970's had spread to other countries. They were full of expression, debating political ideals, discussing and teaching the music scene, showing art and photography and many other forms of interest. Cheap publication techniques of these times made it easier for anyone to make a zine and thus again, this era birthed another serge of popularity for small quantity self publications. 

During the 1980's Factsheet five, published by Mike Gunderloy cataloged and reviewed every and any zine sent to it, along with there mailing details. By doing this, they formed a networking hub for collectors of zines. This birthed the concept of zine as an art form distinct from other subcultures.
The content of zines at this time was very obscure and the topics were different and this grabbed an audience interested in such things...almost like internet culture today, the people collecting zines in the 80's gathered through a shared interest of obscurity and popular culture. 

Zines continued to grow in popularity through the nineties and onward and still today.
Now a days zines cover almost every topic you could consider and range from basic form of expression, to the highly intellectual. Some may discuss the local entertainment scene and also give fashion tips, where-as another could be simply a pamphlet full of drawings of male genitalia. It is a brilliant way to cheaply express oneself to a grand audience and put your ideas across to others. 
I personally will consider the idea of gaining notoriety for my art by distributing my own zines, they will likely be art books showing sneak peaks of collections of works I will do in the future, or simply works I felt like doing and showing the world.

Colour Research for 2015


Colour in Trend Research

So right now I am researching the colours that will be 'in season' in 2015, I am researching 2015 because I would rather be ahead of my time than current and I believe it could give my concept a longer life in the limelight by grabbing attention for longer. 

According to the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, 
The spring of 2015 will move towards the cooler and softer side of the colour spectrum. 
'An ethereal mix of understated brights, pale pastels and nature-like neutrals take centre stage as designers draw from daydreams of simpler times. Remembrances of retro delights, folkloric and floral art, and the magical worlds of tropical landscapes restore a sense of well-being as we head into warmer months.' -from the web page.. 
  
http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr/?season=spring&year=2015&pid=11



The top 10 colours listed are;

*Aquamarine
cool, calming, ethereal, watery feeling, makes us feel rested, stress reducer

*Scuba Blue
cool, more playful, vibrancy, exotic paradise, escape

*Lucite Green
has not been around recently, but is creeping its way back in, retro feeling, minty glow, light in weight, transparent feel

*Classic Blue
anchor colour in spring, faithful, strong, dependable, reliable colour that is eternal and enduring, creates background for all other colours

*Toasted Almond
suntanned neutral, comforting, warm, timeless, versatile, organic, natural feeling, authenticity, toes in sand kind of shade

*Strawberry Ice
warming, healing, charming, also cooling, pinks throw a wonderful on skin in spring and summer

*Tangerine
oranges have been around in the last few seasons, spontaneous, softer, cooler, playful and tangy

*Custard
sweet, sunny, cheerful, pleasant, relaxing, good feeling, subtle, easy disposition

*Marsala
one of the foundation colours like classic blue, strength, confidence, stability, natural earthiness, excitement of wine.

*Glacier Gray
cooling, neutral colour, unobtrusive, contrasts and yet enhances all other colours, truly natures most perfect neutral colour. grey makes us think of rock, sediment and things that are dependable, strong, confident, relaxing and constant and peaceful.

And the rest are;

*Dusk Blue 
*Treetop
*Woodbine
*Sandstone
*Titanium
*Lavender Herb

I am going to take these colours and try not to stray from them for a while.. I think that if I stick to these colours, it will not only give me a decent colour pallet to try working with (something I haven't done yet), but also.. I'll be in fashion in spring 2015 lol.

Video Research



What I've Been Watchin'..

So while I'm researching for my brief, any spare time I get I'll watch a documentary, short clip, interview etc.. to gain even more knowledge of the blues and Robert Johnson. I'm also doing this to gain a better understanding of how things were around the time that Johnson was alive, and to feed details and information into my brain so that I can better establish a more detailed and convincing concept for my work. 

Heres a song to enjoy if you fancy it... 

Mississippi Shakes - Sittin' On Top Of The World.


List of things I have been Watching;


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYtyNHyzRCY&list=PLCJ2kGrkFDZutXue4k9ubbKRMjnTbHgJN

(Martin Scorsese - The Blues. Documentary film series produced by Martin Scorsese, dedicated to the history of the blues. In each of the seven episodes, a different director explores a stage in the development of the blues.)




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1gVtKIxRew

(Peter Mayor - Can't You Hear The Wind Howl, The Life and Music of Robert Johnson, A film starring Keb Mo as Johnson, documentary film about the life of Robert Johnson.)


(Chris Hunt - The Search for Robert Johnson, hosted by John Hammond, is a 1991 UK documentary providing an amazing insight into the life of Robert Johnson, showing interviews with people that new him.) I can't find a link online for this but I watched it at home and its excellent. 




(Son House, a renowned blues musician that had the pleasure of knowing Johnson, talks about some experiences he had with him.)



( Eric Clapton - The Robert Johnson Sessions, how could someone better express the influence Robert J has had on modern musicians... a full album dedicated to Johnson's music, played by the one and only Eric Clapton.)...love it, like I love it. 

Music Demographics Research


Music Demographic Research

I have been reading and researching the statistics etc of musical demographics.
What type of people like what type of music essentially, and what to take into account when tackling the challenge of my brief.

Demographics for music are normally placed into subsections;

Gender
Overall, gender plays a small role in explaining who listens to what type of music. According to statistics, men are more likely to prefer blues, r&b, rock/heavy metal and jazz etc. Whereas females are more likely to enjoy dance/electronica, hymns/gospel, easy listening, musicals etc..
  Although of course this does not always apply. 

Race
Statistically white people are more likely than all other races to enjoy every type of music except blues, r&b, ethnic, gospel, jazz, hip-hop and reggae.. funnily enough basically the only musical genres that I (white) listen to.
 Apparently whites are four times more likely to enjoy country/western music. All races are equally as likely to enjoy dance/electronica, latin, easy listening and opera etc.

Age
Age relates directly to musical preference, older generations are more likely to prefer big band, classical hymns/gospel, easy listening, musicals, opera etc whereas the younger generations are more likely to enjoy dance/electronica, hip hop, rock/heavy metal etc. 

 

Income
Once other demographic factors have been taken into consideration, income is rarely of statistical value. However, in the cases of country music, blues, gospel/hymns, hip-hop have often been associated with the lower and middle income classes. 

Soooo, taken from this research.. my Blues demographic statistically is more likely to be;

*Male
*Black
*Older
*Of low or middle income

However of course this is not always the case, especially now in this modern world the younger generations of both sex's, all incomes and races have incredibly varied musical tastes that span way out of there stereotypes. So Although my concept will be aimed mainly at an older, low income, male demographic.. I will keep elements in my theme that communicate to all types of people. 

Demographic Research, Relating to My Brief.


So now I'm researching my specific demographic, which is the blues music audience, and fans of Robert Johnson and the legend that surrounds him.
 I believe I can try to tackle more than one demographic with this challenge, blues fans, people that are interested in folklore and demonology etc, and maybe attack the people today that have not heard of Johnson, and give there ears a good rattling!
 I have just sent a message to The Blues Foundation, The international home of blues music, to see if they could share there extensive knowledge of the blues scene and shed some light on the cultural personalities of blues listeners.



Hopefully hear back off them soon enough.

Introduction to Branding Research


Introduction to Branding Research

I have been researching into branding techniques, I looked into it myself a few years ago when starting a t-shirt and apparel company with friends, (didn't work out because one of the friends was not quite a team player). 

My understanding of branding is so;
  The most important thing to consider when starting a brand is the consumer, I believe it is best to look at the consumer from a cultural point of view rather than a marketing point of view... Who the consumer is, not 'what' the consumer is. 
   All people make their decisions based on their cultural context, so when taking a cultural approach to branding things to consider would be,
  *Traditions
  *Beliefs
  *Experiences
  *Ideas. 
  Brands, instead of just selling us products, sell us ideas and lifestyles.
Take for example brands like Apple, Starbucks, Harley Davidson and Nike..
 none of the ideas that these companies are known for are inherent to the products they sell, but are the result of the social meaning that these brands have attained in our society. This social meaning can be attained in culture through;
  *Narratives
  *Social Activities
  *Rituals
  *Symbols
  
Apple, for example have created a potent symbol in its logo.



Harley Davidson's anniversary celebrations are powerful rituals that draw in millions of followers from all over the world.

I believe it is these cultural components that help a brand convey a sense of meaning that provides fulfilment and self affirmation and belonging to consumers that receive these ideas.

Who the consumer is, not 'what'.

-Demographic
-Behavior
-Preferences
-Purchasing
-Psychology
-Sociology
-Social outlets

This type of approach, gives brands the level of understanding that they need to help build productive and lasting relationships with the consumer. Take the market research and marketing data and develop a set of characteristics that will resonate with the brands followers. 
 Creating messages and marketing strategies that will strengthen brand culture, allowing a brand to be more influential in the lives of its consumers by giving them WHAT THEY'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR. Which is not just a product, but a sense of fulfilment and belonging that comes with being part of a great culture. 
 Ofcourse the goal of all this is to maximise return on your marketing investments, and while this approach is more theoretical than the more traditional approaches, I believe it would be more effective in this modern world than approaches of the past.

Albums from the 60's - Jazz and Blues


Album Art 60's Blues & Jazz


To bring my research home and steer it into a more applicable direction for my brief, Im starting to look at blues and jazz album artwork from the 60's.
The reason I am specifically looking at the 60's pieces for now is because I want to give my own piece a very vintage style and 60's based heritage, although I will try to blend it with a modern and contemporary theme. 

Here are a few classics I've picked out from the 1960's.

Love the font on this one!

Excellent composition, more my style, although seems to have drifted from the standard blues cover art.. more contemporary. 


Really nice font, very 60's, contrasting with a very old style photo of Muddy, Bo and Howlin'.
I like the sense of age the black and white (sepia) style photo has, maybe representing the earlier days the musicians became established in...


Very basic but also self explanatory. I think the font is beautiful,  it stands out like a sore thumb in a yellowy okre and blood orange stating the album name quite proudly.. yet humbly. 
Love it, although I probably won't take much from this piece as it is a very basic photograph and I want my piece to have a fair bit more going on to communicate my concept.


All of these covers, barring 'American Folk Blues Festival' , depict the artist/musicians. 
All have a very plane washy backdrop of pale colour, with a loud standout text that sharply expresses what the album is. Also, I've noticed, other rock albums etc of the same era, like to express a lot in there cover artworks.. sometimes a strong sense of personality.. wealth.. status etc.
Whereas blues albums seem to stay humble, nothing to prove.. blues music is not about fame, popularity or success, it is the music for the thinking mind, the awkward ponderer, the lonely romantic and the heartbroken.. it remains patiently calm, and wishes to state nothing about itself other than what it is...
The blues. 

The main points I have taken from looking at 60's blues album art is thus:
*Pale washy background
*Strong stand out text
*Depiction of the musician
*Dont show off, stay humble, be respectful of the genre and do it quiet justice. 

Album Artwork 60's Research

Jefferson Airplane - Takes Off
1966
I'm really struggling to find any information about the making of this album cover, as far as I can tell it was designed by the band themselves. 
What I like about this is the composition, the very 60's font and the use of colour.. it is not as contemporary as other album covers of its era but it communicates what it has to and personally, I think it is a very successful piece. 

 The Velvet Underground & Nico 
1967
The banana itself is the of course the handy work of Andy Warhol, Warhol managed the iconic band and acted as an umbrella for the band during the days when they weren't big enough to tackle some of the tough situations they found themselves in, Warhol's status of course big enough in the 60's to tackle most complications. 
The original album cover was designed to allow the fans the peel back the banana as a sticker, revealing the nude-coloured fruit beneath. This sexually metaphorically charged marketing ploy caused complications however, the manufacturing being more complicated than normal meant that the album was released after the release date. The sticker covers later became a rare collectors item, and the banana became a symbol for the protopunk genre. 
I personally absolutely love album cover, so much that I referenced it in my narrative illustration brief, the banana image being the logo on the t-shirt of my main character...
Anyway I think altogether the piece is very contemporary, a bright yellow phallic banana symbol on a plane white background with the album name at the top... job done. 

 The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
1969
This album cover is 'mint'. It displays an over the top and gaudy cake, made from random layers including a tire, a clock face, film canister and a pizza. there are small figurines of the band members placed on the top of the cake, and its all placed on top of a record player.
Keith Richards hired close friend Robert Brownjohn to design the cover.. Interestingly, Brownjohn hired a younger and less famous Delia Smith, to bake the cake..lol. 
Originally the album was to be called Automatic Changer, although the name changed, the band kept Brownjohns piece because the liked it so much.
I like this piece a lot, its randomness, playfulness and colour expresses the feel of the album perfectly.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
1967 
Jimi Hendrix was not at all pleased with the packaging and art work on the UK release of this album, claiming, "It makes me look like a fairy."
He took this complaint to his manager Chas Chandler, who then called artist Karl Ferris. Ferris worked with them to come up with the new psychedelic inspired art work for the up and coming US release. 
I love it, I love psychedelic artwork from this era it really nourishes my inner need for colour and madness. Ferris said that when he started creating this image, he was listening to the music Jimi had sent him away with and thought that it sounded 'far out' and as if it was from outer space.
So he decided he would like to create an image where the band was blasting through space on a 
journey to bring there outer space music to the earth... hence the space circle thing ^^
I have managed to find a link with a first person account of the processes working with Jimi for the cover from Karl Ferris ...

Album Cover Research

Album Covers Research


I am now looking at and researching albumin covers of the sixties, mainly because the album I am working with was first released in 1966. (even though it was recorded in the 1930's).
Im going to try to find similarities in the album covers, and take note of how they change as time moves forward. 

To start with, I will look at one of the later 60's, but most iconic album covers of all time..

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Peter Blake, the artist and designer behind the iconic art piece said, " In my mind i was making a piece of art rather than an album cover. It was almost a piece of theatre design." 
That I agree with, it does look like a piece of theatre design..
He went on to say, " I offered the idea that if they had just played a concert in the park, the cover would be a photograph of them with the group who watched the concert.. If we did this using cardboard cutouts, it could be whomever they wanted."

Each Beatle was told to come up with a list of people they most admired. Ringo, being the least pretentious said, " Whoever the others choose is okay with me." 

John Lennons creative mind instantly came up with Adolf Hitler and Gandhi, both were axed, Hitler for obvious reasons and Gandhi because they thought it would lessen their sales in the far east.
George Harrison chose four Indian gurus, and Bob Dylan was an obvious choice as all of the band members worshiped him.
Fred Astaire was Paul's choice, and was chosen to help sell records with his legendary dancing status.
Among many big names, some of the most notable are:
*Sonny Liston (boxer twice defeated by Ali)
*Lewis Carroll (Johns writing hero, based 'I am the Walrus' on Carrol's poem 'The Walrus and the Carpenter')
*Marilyn Monroe
*Oliver and Hardy
*Marlon Brando
*Oscar Wilder
and Albert Einstein 

The most touching tribute however was for former bandmate Stuart Sutcliffe to appear in the shot.
Sutcliffe who John considered his 'best friend' barring Paul, died in 1962 aged just 21 from a head injury and never got to see the success of the band.

The cover was shot by Michael Cooper on March the 30th 1967. In the cover the band members are shown wearing custom made military style outfits made satin. Four wax dummies of the Beatles are shown standing alongside the living members of the band, symbolising the 'old Beatles' sporting mop tops and plane suits. 

The Album cover won the 1967 Grammy award for best album cover, Graphic design.

Narrative Illustration.. Help with composition

While I have been working through my Narrative Illustration brief i have noticed that alot of my drawings, although detailed, have seemed quite flat and slightly boring to look at.
   I felt that this was likely down to my composition when planning out my drawings... I have/had a tendency to draw my main image in the center of the page, and then fit in the rest of the piece around it.
  This makes for a very plain composition........ Looking around for ideas I found this video from Mark Crilley, I have used his videos for help, advice and insight into techniques for years and this semi recent video was exactly what i was looking for, i will continue to focus on my composition as i feel it is a weekpoint.

Professional Studies, health and safety.



Find and put on your blog CCAD H&S policy
Research what tools, processes and environments could put yourself and others at risk
research what could be implemented to mitigate risk
research the correct way to dispose of these materials
research what insurance policies can be put in place to mitigate risk and what these risks are

So, here is the first page of the policy to show that i have found it.

 The header says CCAD  I swear!
These are the policies I have found that should be put in place for someone in the creative industries
  • Public Liability - the risk to public health from the activity
  • Professional Indemnity – the risk of financial loss on poor advice
  • Product Liability – the risk of the product failing or breaking down
  • Employers Liability – the risk to employed sub-contractors by the artist

There are many many tools, processes and environments in the creative industries that can cause risk, some examples may be:
Inks, paints and fluid materials that may cause people to slip, be harmful to consume etc. So to mitigate this great care should be taken when working with 'said' materials, paper towels should be readily available along with mop and bucket and just like.. try not to drink them, I mean c'maaaan.
Sharp objects maybe used, so a first aid box and room should be close to the working area in case of injuries.
Flammable fluids and materials are likely to be used by artists, and so fire extinguishers should be at hand and appropriate to the type of fires that could occur, for example dry extinguishers and wet extinguishers.

Louis Crucius

http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.co.uk/2007/05/antikamnia-chemical-company.html


Louis Crucius was a physician-artist and pharmacist. He was hired by the Antikamnia Chemical Company to do the illustrations on their calendars. He did the "Skeleton Sketches" drawings whilst working at a pharmacy. Five years worth of the calendars where printed from -1897 to 1901.
I would love to get my hands on one of those bad boys!






Jeff Proctor

I stumbled across Jeff Proctor whilst lost in blogs looking for inspiration for my Book of Drawings.

I was drawn to his work straight away, I really like it.

To me, his work looks like a modern twist on the old macabre art. I like how he uses a contrast of vibrant and pastel tones to give a calm yet colourful feel to his pieces.
His composition for me is excellent, each piece is centred and finished and communicates everything it needs to simply.
I will take inspiration from his style during this project.





James Jean

I stumbled across James Jean whilst looking through blogs trying to find macabre images and curiosities.
His work is very good! I love the fine and busy detail he puts into his drawings.
He is very versatile, working to an extremely high standard with sculpture, drawings, digital work and much more.
I will take inspiration from him when working on my Book of drawings work.


http://www.jamesjean.com/work/

Nick Sheehy

OH YEAH

Found another great artist I like.
Nick Sheehy, he's an Australian Illustrator living in south east England.
His work is very interesting, he builds up texture and thin colour paying attention to detail to achieve his 'look'. I love how he enjoys drawing various weird things for himself, as this is something I do daily.
Ohhh, he has also worked with NoBrow!!

On his Flickr he has some brilliant macabre style skulls drawings and weird characters that I love and will take reference from during my Book of Drawings work.

Antoine Roegiers

Amy kindly showed me a website/blog she thought might interest me called Wunderkammer.

http://unnaturalist.tumblr.com/

Its very good! It is full of art, photos, stories and videos etc. Based on the theme of the macabre  curiosities, dark things and basically coolness.

Anyway, I found a french artist on there called Antoine Roegiers and instantly loved his work. His drawings are reminiscent of those found in the renaissance period.
He does these awesome animated videos that completely grabbed my attention! His imaginative creatures, beautiful shapes and patterns and general theme are all to my taste and I will definitely take inspiration from his work when working on my Book of Drawings.

Marcos Chin


Marcos Chin was shown to me by Amy so I checked out his work.
His new work is really impressive and i really like his style!
I was interested in his line work and textures more than anything, they really made a difference to the basic flat stuff I was doing at the time.
I will take inspiration from him and try to use more texture and varied line work in my future pieces.

http://www.kentwilliams.com/wwwkentwilliamscom/drawings

This is Kent Williams, I think his work is great. I love his form, use of colour and composition. He uses a mixture of different media on most of his drawings, (which i think is cool) and I will try to take inspiration from his for my future work.

Rob Conway


I like how Rob Conway uses brush strokes and colour, its similar already to some of the work I am currently creating. However he also uses digital skills and editing skills, which is something I am yet to venture into. I will refere to Rob Conway when I come to use digital software.
