Purple preview

So those who know of this blog get a preview of what I'm creating for the upcoming 'purple show'.  My latest work is a Rhinoceros done in in purple acrylic, this show is coming up quick, I need a quicker drying time, so no oil paint for this one ;(

Here is the first stage. The rhino is inspired by a quote and photo with Salvador Dali. He thrusts his head up from the bottom of the picture plane, originally I had the idea to paint the main horn as an erect penis but I think I'm getting a little conservative in my old age.....I am just going to show the work as is. I intend on painting in a few more details but leaving the purity of the gestural application of paint. Tonight I am going to mix up some gold paint and fill in the background with that so it shines, purple and gold look so good together.

Moving toward Purple

The purple show is coming up....

Shifting from one of my favorite colors Pink on my way to the Purple show, as this Flamingo takes on another hue, he would have to be eating purple people or maybe eggplants to look like this.

Prints at the Press

I just got the proofs finished for a large selection of prints of my work. Now you too can afford to own one of my paintings.  Here is a photograph of the color proof  of a variety of works (the three pictured top left are by Chad Wilsie) that I will be printing. I am printing a run to take with me for sale at Shambhala. There are currently 18 different prints to choose from. Some are very limited in run.

The prints will be on a high quality paper with satin finish, the large size will be 18" X 24" with a white border. There will also be an option for a smaller size on card stock for those who want more or have to spend less. Both will fit standard frames so you can get them from anywhere (including Ikea..... if you get my drift). More info to come once the prints are done. Keep your eyes peeled ;)

Purple Art Show

Purple, like Nenshi's campaign, like royalty, like a painful bruise. I will be showing a brand new piece at this show. Check it out, August 13th!

Spokane Dogwood

While in Spokane I got to check out a friends awesome garden. He has the most beautiful kitchen all windows and in one of them was this pretty little dogwood branch I ARTed up with my copic markers while their band practiced. It was a sensational time.

Porto in color

I scanned my colored drawing of which the stages of creation are shown in my previous blog entry. I am still not certain if I will go back in and sketch in the details with a fine point marker, I like how it looks so far without black. All done with Copic markers.

Small town and port pencil and ink

I started this drawing of a small port town in Portugal. I began by sketching out the placement of various elements with my mechanical Pencil.

Then a couple of days later I went back in with my copic markers cool gray scale to do some tone work and shading.

Now it is starting to have some depth and shape. It really punches it up to see the reflections in the water.

Collection prone

I filled out my collection of Copic markers the other day, I still have a few from the warm scale on order that should be coming in by September.  Anyhow, I use the back page of my Frosst sketchbook as a palette so I know the colors an their relationships. As you can see below, I have quite a nice collection started. I will add more subtle hues as I need them. You can see the missing warm gray scale on order in the bottom right. The color guide in the pocket is by Copic, a great way to keep track of what you have and what you need.

These markes are the shit, in my opinion way better than Prismacolor. For one they don't smell nearly as bad. You can refill them, and change out the tips. They are made in Japan with quality and care taken with each pen, they are even guaranteed not to dry out on the shelf for 3 years. Good investment for anyone who likes to draw and have bold permanent colorful markers!

Cant leave empty handed....

I have an obvious addiction to Art Supplies. I should start Art Supplies Anonymous.

I went back in to my favorite art store (Inglewood Art Supply) to visit a my friend Fay Moose - who will be at this weeks market collective selling her fantastic creations.  While I was there, I usually rifle through the clearance section for anything that may be useful. At the back of the store there was a bunch of canvases.  One had serious water damage and was all bent outta shape. The rest didn't seem to have much wrong with them at all, a few holes in two, but I bought an entire bolt of canvas so it can be replace with a little elbow grease. So I decided to buy them at the discounted price. I can re-stretch them and use them as examples for my upcoming Canvas Stretching workshop for Aboriginal Youth in partnership with USAY, The Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth.  Here is the discounted treasure that I just couldn't leave the store without...

Cant leave empty handed!

I'd like to send a shout out To Ryan S. who clumsily dropped the plastic wrapped stock briefly in a puddle, thanks buddy you saved me money!  7 canvases,  for $110. Can't beat that price! Sure some of them need work........ but my labor is cheap!  Now for ideas =;)

frog and a bird but no bees

There is something to it, look again.  Warty skin. Lick this frog and you'll get.........

high, sick and pregnant.

While watching a movie, I usually pull out my sketch book an barely pay attention, instead I like to draw cool stuff. (The film for the frog drawing was 'Elegy' in this case, with Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz followed by the bird and UFC 21 which was by far more engaging.)  I colored these in with Copic markers, The colors are what makes it exciting for me, I am addicted to them.

Tadpoles look like sperm, or do sperm look like tadpoles? 
Either way, I think it is rather silly, visually ;)

I actually drew these on the same page but scanned them separately. I was inspire to draw the bird based on the color match possible between the two drawings, I think they make a nice pair together. But you cant breed a bird and a reptile ;P

It was really great attending the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo yesterday. I picked up a bunch of books to inspire my artistic pursuits, met some rad people and decided to purchase a booth for next year. I am excited to be part of the event and to get some new exposure. And I have a whole new direction and desire to get more colorful markers, prints and portfolio work done in the upcoming year. Yeah!

Planning sketches (in COPIC color)

Here are two sketched I did on a velum like pan sheet for an epic animation idea I am developing. The images are lightly drawn in pencil and filled in with some of my Copic markers. One is based off the Pilsner can and the other off of the Ol Dutch potato chip package, respectively.

Pirate Page - Frosst sketchbook

"Yo, Ho, Ho, and a bottle of Rum, it's a pirates life for me!"

I drew this sketch with my Copic multi-liners and then colored it in with my Copic markers. I can't prove that art is magic, but the next day (yesterday) My NY style Salsa class was moved, so I ended up going to see the Pirates of the Caribbean instead. I really enjoyed the film, plus it was "cheap night"at the theatre.  I realized through the process of making this drawing, I didn't have any brown or earth tones of copic markers. So today, I went to Inglewood Art Supply and visited my lovely friend Ola where I picked up a few new colors.  I was with a friend and she said: "I've never seen anybody, be that happy and jump around, including a kid over crayons".  What can I say ;P

Colorful Insects

Insects are really interesting. On a page that had some bleed through from my Dinosaur page in my sketchbook, I sketched some very colorful leaf beetles.  They tend to be very brightly colored and I tell you my rendition in Copic is not far off int he land of artistic license.

The Malayan Frog Beetle (Sagra buquetti) Above uses it's large hind legs to clasp its mate.
The South American Species(Doryphorella langsdorfi) Below is much smaller and lives and feeds on leaves.

ASA TREX does magic with Twosday drawings

I met with Les of the Artist Society of Alberta on Friday to discuss details of their upcoming exhibition 'Animate delight'. They did a mock up of some of my original drawings to be framed and wanted my 'OK to proceed. It was so cool to see these drawings which were gifted to my late friend Chris J. Melynchuck( Click his name for my blog entry about him), organized for presentation.  I am really impressed in how professional they go about things an am super amazed by what they came up with for the exhibition. Not only that they frame the work and build really effective travel cases for the exhibition. Below is a photo from my iphone of the mock up before the matte is cut and frame built. Needless to say, I am very happy with their work.

They turned what was once just a stack of papers use to make my animation 'Twosday' <--(you can see it on you tube by clicking here.

It really helped in enlightening me on some aspect of the art business, that I wasn't really that aware of. I am thankful for the opportunity.

Positive Feedback keeps me on track

I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on my show. It was really great that I had another large group come thru the gallery today.  One of the lovely ladies, Soliel (3yrs old.) and her mom baked me delicious cookies to share. One notable quote I asked permission to include below:

Jerald Blackstock 

Posted this on Fast Forward about your show:
I studied Tibetan Buddhism through the use of thangkas and the Saraswati Hindu iconography (Tara in Tibetan) for 2 decades through a teaching institution of Yasodara Ashram.
And art at ACAD. So coming to Brians work from that combined background, gives me licence (I hope) to say, holy crap Brian is this ever cool.
I love the approach using of cartoon/animation visual language, of flatness and lack of surface that when printmakers paint, well it's what they do, and usually call them paintings, which they aren't usually, they are these illustrative things that seem to be unaware of the 800 years of history and tradition of western European painting.
When Brian uses that visual language to re-interpret Eastern art, in my opinion he is using exactly the right language for the right subject...knocking the ball right out of the park.
AND at the same time he is saying, I'm an artist, I can do anything I want, which an artist absolutely must say, in order to be creative and not some knock off of somebody else who is creative.
Way to go Brian, congratulations all around!

I cant wait to get back into the studio and begin creating new works influenced by my previous body and new experiences.

Fast Forward Article = Awesomeness

Now you may remember back in January I was published as a "Your Face Here" personality, because I was co-marshal for One Yellow Rabbit's Chinese New Year Parade. Well today I received an email for the Editors Pick of Fast Forward Weekly Picks June 9 - 15. They did an article (Page 58 if you have the physical paper at hand) on my recent solo exhibition 'Sacred Images' at the Untitled Arts Society Gallery.

Click here for a link to the full story.

I'm the first Arts story an right after the Best of Calgary. I'm told that this is the biggest and most read Fast Forward of the year. Sweet.

I particularly like that me and my first solo show are "full of peculiarities." I am always surprised what writers pick up on and decide to focus the story. It wouldn't be the first time f I half jokingly said  “My mom thinks I must be a reincarnated Japanese man because I am interested in all things Asian.” I also like that she explains how I "set out to re-create these painstakingly laborious and elaborate images that demand tremendous attention to detail and a careful study of Buddhist scriptures." This is true, it is also true that I start in tradition then I move into my unique way of applying paint, my "process is methodical and highly unconventional." I love it!

The final statement will hopefully spark some commercial interest and/or sales: “My paintings are never finished until someone buys them,” he says. “And if you were to decide to buy one, my response would be, ‘OK, now I’m going to finish it.’”As a thoughtful gesture, he will think of the person who is buying it for the rest of the painting and add a personal touch."

No press is bad press but good press is?????

New FROSST sketchbook

I got another new sketchbook. Yay!!! This one is extra special! Got it at FROSST Books, John Frosst ordered a few custom sketchbooks with his image on the front from the UK. If you don't have one and want one better rush down the Inglewood and grab one before they're gone. The paper is super nice, heavy, slightly cream in tone and has a great tooth for drawing. The book folds completely flat so you can work like you would with a spiral bound, only much better and there is a pocket in the back like Moleskine have.  Here is a scan of the metallic gold front cover, it doesn't do it justice, but it gives you an idea.

FROSST BOOKS - "We sell Books"


 It is a good idea to write your name and contact info or a way to get a hold of you in case you leave your sketchbook somewhere.  Its also a good time to test your markers to see how much they bleed. Unfortunately my Copic Markers bleed thru even this thick of sketchbook paper, I have yet to find a sketchbook that doesn't bleed when I use my Copics =;(  Here is the first drawing of my new sketchbook, over time I will continue to add to it and test my various colors like a palette here.

 
Whoa Mario!!! 

AVERT YOUR EYES on vimeo

I uploaded my AVERT YOUR EYES animation to Vimeo. It may not playback at the proper frame rate on your computer depending on your internet connection, many parts are frame by frame blinking but regardless you get the idea.

It was inspired by 8-bit and pixel art. Like old Nintendo and Atari games fused with my current body of work with sacre images and wrathful deities. Enjoy!

ANIMATED DELIGHT - TREX PROGRAM

Les dropped off the catalogue for the Alberta Society for Artist's (TREX) Arts Traveling Exhibition Program. I will be showing work as part of a traveling exhibit alongside; Leslie Bell, Stephanie Wong and Chris Melnychuck.

"4 artists, 3 crates, 12 framed presentation Units, 1 c of short films, 65 running feet."

Below is a scan of the catalogue page 7.

They wrote this about me and my work:

"Brian 'Bunny' Batista is an extraordinary advocate for the media arts. Batista's paintings and animation reveal a passion for Eastern mysticism, pop culture and a deep knowledge of historical character animation."

8-BIT ANIMATION LOCKDOWN

In order to get away from the studio to clear my mind a bit, I went 8-bit.

I spent the May long week-end locked down at Quickdraw Animation Society 5th annual Animation Lockdown -a 48 hour animation challenge.
This year the challenge was to make an 8 BIT animation!

Here is a preview, below are a few screenshots from my animated film:

I made a 2 min. film in about 20 hours, including music, editing and titles/credits.  My film is titled AVERT YOUR EYES and it includes animation of wrathful deities set to 8-bit dubstep. I was the first 'team' to be completed his film, but I was on a 'team' all by my lonesome.

I was still a bit under the weather with this nasty persistent dry cough, I could only do at most 12 hrs. straight. Once I was done, sick or not, I was in a a celebratory mood........ I left the competition a day early thus completely avoiding the stressful rush to the finish line, thats pacing!

See these images move.

I totally have a new found romance with the idea of pixel art. It is almost counter intuitive, with advancing technology to be subjecting yourself to this creative constraint. It's almost a nostalgia for the past days of crappy Atari and Nintendo graphics and sounds. I have a well filled with new ideas based on this inspiration of 8-bit.

The thing that was great about this animation lockdown week-end challenge, Focused time on only one task, we were fed an watered an had exceptional technical support from Michael Welchman, but that's not all.  For me to work solely as an artist is a rare opportunity. I'm usually either teaching or solving other's technical problems, it was cool to be 'the artist'.

The real bonus for me was that I stayed out of trouble and away from party distractions this long week-end. The big payoff is the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction and achievement. I really enjoyed making something under pressure in an environment filled with like minded, creative people.  It saved me money and time and possibly my health.........kind of......I didn't sleep much though, but wait there's more.......... now I have another animated film under my belt!

~No worse the wear!~

Come down and check out our 8-bit inspired animations:

Wednesday May 25th at 9pm at the PLAZA theatre, followed by a screening of The Last Starfighter!

I got a bunch of stuff for the work I am currently doing in the studio and..... New Copic markers, a dozen of them, and colors. My collection is now getting flushed out, I'll be able to chase my imagination, but I didn't remember to pick up any yellow. Here are my new colors:

B05 - Process Blue

B02 - Lapis Lazuli

V17 - Amethyst

V04 - Lilac

RV29 - Crimson

I skipped outta Inglewood Art Supply like a little kid on Halloween, with a full bag of candy=;)

Richard Halliday, RCA

A huge inspiration, Richard Halliday, and artist who creates lyrical paintings in black and white is finally represented online in Social Media.  Michael Markowsky created a page on facebook as a Tribute Page to one of the world's greatest LIVING artists. The biography alone is worth the read. I was lucky enough to study and befriend Richard while at ACAD. He is a legend!

You can also check out Richard's work at his website: www.richardhalliday.com. Do it!

Flip it and reverse it

That is what the opposite machine does after all.   Well here is a video where it seems very applicable.  TOILLE YSSIM - TI KROW.  My room mate was wondering what she said so I thought I'd go a step further in the assignment and found out that this song is even more interesting.

Inverted and reversed and outputted in Final Cut.

Current Copic Marker collection

I organized and took inventory of my current Copic Marker collection today. Feeling sick today so I didn't make it down to the studio, so I am catching up on projects. More to come about my current studio practice leading up to my solo exhibit at the Untitled Arts Society in a month.

copic marker collection May 2011

Sharpie Sketches

Went out to Tubby Dog and did some quickie sketches with my new assortment of Sharpies (see previous blog entry for more info).  Today I added a few more elements from the view from the couch in my living room.  1 more pafge to go until I finish this sketchbook. Yeah!

 

This is definitely not my best work, but I'm still willing to put it out there. 

Not all the sketches in ones sketchbook are going to be good.

Keys to the VIP and new art supplies

I just got the keys to my new Studio. I was awarded a  3 month residency from the Calgary Allied Arts Foundation. I'm stoked!!! It was too snowy to move in this week-end and I injure my Achilles Tendon in Martial Arts on Wednesday. I opted to take it easy rather than force a move on myself. It is weighing heavily in the back of my mind.....STUDIO TIME!!!

Today, I went out for lunch with my mom. We had delicious Vietnamese food, followed by a trip to not one....... but two art stores.  Often when I am spending money on supplies, I get a last minute feeling of guilt, which is really strange because other than food there is nothing more important for me to be buying than art supplies.  Supplies make more art, which may eventually lead to more money, but more importantly making art leads to my happiness. So why do I  feel guilty? Maybe its a bit of shame. I get so much pleasure from spending $4o on stuff at Swinton's Art Supply. It's like being caugth masturbating. I don't feel guilty when I blow money on anything else. Anyone else have this issue?

I picked up a handful of Prismacolour, they were on sale for under $2.65 a piece. I took one of each color I didn't already have;  Scarlet Lake, Sienna Brown, Copenhagen Blue, Dark Green, Grass green and Aquamarine.  They also had colored sharpies for 50 cents a piece, I couldn't resist! I picked up; Lime, Turquoise, Peach, Aqua, Mint. I have an addiction to color, what can I say. I also picked up two gold paint pens for Katie Green to do a design on my motorcycle jacket as well as a $20 book on mastering sketching in 40 lessons. I feel that I've been needing a kick in the seat of the pants, I haven't had much time to sketch. I think the lessons in this book will help shake my laurels a bit, and give me a creative kick...... follow my blog in future posts and see.

Lovely, lovely colorful art supplies make me happy

Next stop: Inglewood Art Supply,  My favorite art store in town! Not only are they conveniently located close to my neighborhood, they have fantastic prices,  and give ACAD ALUMNI great deals. I especially like this store because of the people who work there, all the staff are courteous and friendly. (Hi Ola, sad I didn't see you there today, love the orange felt own magnet!) Inglewood Art Supply are having their annual Spring Canvas Sale. My mom paints Acrylic, she wanted to pick up a bunch of new deep profile pre-stretched canvasses. Canvas sale, hell yeah!!!! I have a new studio space, better fill it. The great thing is I can finally build and paint large canvases now that I have the space. So what can I say................

I picked up a whole roll, 50.3 yards of 15 oz. 72" wide unprimmed canvas. The roll weighed so much I had to get the owner Peter to help me carry it into the car, luckily it fit, but I had to squeeze in the back of my moms Matrix. Not only did I get 30% off, which really helps, that stuff ain't cheap you know.  There was a labeling misunderstanding and the staff felt bad and gave me a gift certificate for an additional $40 at the store. Yippee!! I will be back. In a way, it is like I got the stuff at Swinton's for free and I still get to go back and pick up some more supplies once I settle into my new studio, and realize what I need.

All I can say is today has been a great day!

More to come.....

Playing with Pencil Crayons

Funny how playing with my pencil crayons, I drew common things kids played with from the 80's. Transformers, My little Pony and Battle Cat from He-man.

These pencil crayons are nice, picked 'em up at my local art supply store, Inglewood Art Supply.  They are LYRA brand Rembrant Polycolor. They have really soft leads, strong hues and they appear to blend nicely.

Proud Teacher

As some of you may know, I am a man of many skills and talents, you may also know that I teach animation to put food on the table. I have been teaching animation full-time for the past 20 weeks to Aboriginal Youth at the Quickdraw Animation Society.  Tomorrow, Saturday, we will be screening the work at the PLAZA theatre in Kensington. The screening will take place at 5pm and there will be a celebration/reception at Quickdraw to follow. Please come own, it's free!

Here is a link to the Facebook Event Page. 

 

 Tomorrow is the big day. Come check it out!

MORE GREAT NEWS!!!

My Aboriginal Youth Animation Project was covered in today's Herald newspaper.

Check out the story HERE



A picture from the Herald of one of my most promising classical animation students, Dre First Rider.

Rojankovsky Fairy Tales

I love the nostalgic almost naive style and stories from the books I read when I was a wee lad.  They are so simple and pure.  Here are a few inspired by a recent view of John K, the creator of Ren and Stimpy's blog, which I follow.  If you like what you see here, why not follow mine?

These were sketched quickly in photo blue pencil/ HB then outline with a 0.7 Copic Multiliner an colored in with Prismacolor. I think this drawing will look spiffy once the paper yellows and the color fades.

Lurk & Bang monkey

A friend showed me this video that really sums up the hilarity and level of disturbing of modern mankind.  I think it reminds us how close we can get in relation to our animal ancestors to the true grit of survival. 

Word of caution............. If you want to see it........... I will point you in the direction, but I'm not going to make it a link to my blog and I'll say It wasn't me who led you astray.  You sicko's will have to do the leg work for yourselves, it's almost too easy. Try these three simple words  chimp + rape + frog. That should be enough, it was for him. (he he he)

This is the first inspiration concept for some printing/silk screening I'd like to do for my fellow shambhalian crewmembers.

Yes, we have no bananas

As they were eaten one by one,
their population dwindled, 
those that were left .............
..........began to turn.............

I sketched the whole bunch of bananas a few days ago.
(see previous blog entry, click here)
This is the final one that remained.
Well at least until the sketch was completed.

Sketched using HB for the initial outline and prismacolor markers for the rest.

Help me name my little pony

Students of mine were actually arguing in class about whether or not unicorns have wings. No. Unicorns just have a horn,  isn't that enough? Pegasus had wings.

But my little pony can be whatever he wants............
and if that means exposed, spotted and a little gay, then I'm fine with that.

However, he does need a name, any suggestions?

My favorite colors together are pink and blue. The blue is 'cause this little unicron is a boy, just look down to his unicock. The outline was done in red sharpie, 'cause that is what I had in front of me at the time.  I waited until I got home from work to use some colors from my Copic collection. I just love my copic markers.

There was no question, I was intent on using pink, I just love pink, what can I say?   I used to have a bright pink mowhawk in high school and the color has stuck with me ever since. I always have something pink of, even my hankies are pink, showing my colors. (insert Lurk and Bang gang symbol in here) If you don't see any pink, don't ask, I have an extensive manties collection from Priape.

So what about my little unicrons name?

Here are some of the ideas I got from friends:

Doug
Flum
Moondoogle
Firesprint
Lurky
Twinkledick
Thistlespoke
Cinnibarbie
Flamerheart
Hawkencock
Bangy
Skeeter
Niel Patrick Harris
Puff
Jarome Iginla and
Blew me

Thanks guys an gals, these are brilliant. Now I've got to design more ponies!

Bananas

These were on my table. I had a sketchbook and a HB mechanical pencil in hand.

I have a good theory involving bananas right before you go out dancing.

Beard and the babe or beauty and the beard

I heard word my good friend is feeling a little under the weather. So I channeled my magickal energies to give him some strength, like conan the barbarian if he were a dwarf. I had this idea running in my head since Valentines and I think I will make another attempt on Canvas in the near future in a cheesy airbrush the side of a van meets Boris Vallejio style.  My wish is that he feels better and that the painting is epic!

 

Hb on paper. 

Here is the head cut out and quickly colored in Adobe Photoshop so said friend can use it as his facebook profile picture. 

 I then decided to tweak the design a bit more. I think he needs a bigger head so I enlarged it on a photocopier and pasted it in my sketchbook.

The aMAIZEing CORNhole

I did a CORNy drawing today....

 

I have been reading the Obnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. It is very insightful regarding the importance that corn has had on the growth of western civilization. It  examines how the industrial food complex is based almost entirely on corn and products derived from corn.  It is similar in some sense with the documentary Food Inc. if you haven't seen that, check it out. If so...... Read the book!


The Obnivore's Dilemma delves into big business agriculture and the historical use of corn as the tool against those who first cultivated in order to eradicate them from existence.  Corn is a high yielder. It produces far more 'product' than wheat with a  300:1 ratio for intensive seed production (it can flourish in the crappiest of soils) and it's ability to transform carbon from the air as no other grass can. We can't live without it, but then again corn cant live without us either. I find it interesting that corn's biology won't allow it to survive if not for it's symbiotic relationship with mankind.....and maybe a few corporate patents.

Digestive problems?

Corn reorganizes itself back into it's original form after you eat it - weird.

Early Animation Characters

Here is the scan of my early animation character sketches inked.  I cant wait to see how they appear in print for the Quickdraw Animation Society.
