BIRDTOD-SERIES

Within a two-month period a series of new graphics

came into being, which could be realized

as silkscreens in two colours black and gold.

More visual ideas are on the anvil.

Shish sookie singabus
Snored like a red merry-go-round horse
And an acid gold bar swirled up and down
Up and down, in back of the singabus
And the pantaloon duck, white goose neck, quacked
Webcore, webcore

(from "Those little golden birdies, look at them"
by Don Van Vliet)

Recently I found some time to work again in my beloved papercut-technique. I worked with an older image (a drawing of native indian dancers wearing birdlike masks and costumes) and draw it again, now in a bigger size. Than copied it on various colored papers, cut it out and pasted it together into three different versions.

The circle shape of these collages is inspired by photographies of the 19th century and relates particularly to the photography work of James Mooney.

This final image will appear in a forthcoming book, a new and extensive publication around the topic "Illustration", edited by fellow artist Felix Scheinberger.

MAYBE-PROJECT

MAYBE is an ongoing project that started in 2010 with five

artists of our group. Each artist made twenty graphics as double

cards. One portfolio is filled with a work of each artist.

They are all showing surrealistic motives with an individual

view and thought of the artist. Like a chain letter they

are telling episodes of a fictional story.

The created double cards are hand-signed and artistically

further worked on with different techniques.

Now the magazine DNCHT is showing this project

in full color on six pages.

TANK STUDIES

We have drawn fictive vehicle sketches with my students this week in Cologne, inspired by the ones of Kim Jung Gi and Ian McQue. By drawing 'vehicles', you quickly get close to 'armed vehicles'.

Weaponry is a very problematic issue. Seeing the real impact that the armament industry has on many countries makes me feel disgust. But (or therefore) there can be reasons for an artist to face up this theme.

The sketch above almost looks like an Army advertising, which is not my intention. Anyhow, tanks have a strong fascination to me. What is this fascination about?

Just like Han Solo corresponds to the archetype of the Western cowboy, or maybe on a deeper level to the 'hunter', there's often something 'essential' in things or figures. There's so many odd versions of tanks - small, huge, powerful, more or less sophisticated and sometimes very absurd. Tempting me quite a lot to look for this essence.

PARADISE VIEW

A design by me for a new silkscreen-leporello with the extensive theme "Paradise".

Maybe the printing will be realized for the next group project of Ahrenshoop.

MILLPOND AGAIN

Some turbulences at these days because I'm looking for a new flat right now. A big, dirty and really noisy construction zone was established in the house where I'm living - it breaks me up! Now working at home becomes rather difficult for me because of all the dust and damage. But I also found some time for a new silkscreen-session - with the helpful support of Kathrin - to print the nice and proven image of an ancient steamboat, well known from my redesign of John Faheys "Millpond"-Ep record (do you remember our fine 45-A Single-Cover-Album?).

DE INVASIE

Hi,

Last month I participated to a Flemish designers fair named 'De Invasie'. It was the first time that the edition took place in Antwerp. I decided to show my two Mikrokosmos participations and the Hanami leporello we did. It was a great event. We had the old etnographic museum in Antwerp to show our works in nice vitrines. More than 10.000 visitors came to the fair. To have a total impression of the fair, watch these photo's on Facebook: http://goo.gl/mZ2fo or this youtube movies http://goo.gl/Ug6QN .

Cheers, Leen

SIDETRACK

I made a small comic story called Sidetrack about a place in Antwerp that fascinates me. It's not meant to be a real story or traditional comic. It's more about the atmosphere. Six pages have been published in Turkey Comix #21, an anthology of comics and illustrations published by a french collective The Hoochie Coochie. I met them in Angoulême at the comic festival in 2012. You can see the entire story at my website: http://www.leenvanhulst.be/Sidetrack

NEW ETCHINGS

These are some new etchings, I'm doing at the moment. I'm looking for a bit different topics and atmospheres than I used for my previous etchings. I'm also planning to make a kind of magazine with these new etchings combined with drawings etc... Hope to present it at the Frankfurt Bookfair in October.

greetz,

SEA SONGS

These first pictures full of deep blue are inspired by the "Sea song" of Robert Wyatt.

It is a blueness like the red sea or the mood of drunkenness and Jazz clubs in the early morning hours.

The third motive shows a graphic with an interpretation of the overture of the opera "The Flying Dutchman" from Richard Wagner.

The mare-magazine has chosen for their column "sound of the sea" another graphic, which you can see on my blog.

MONOTYPING

HELLO.

I have just been to Munich for a week to visit my uncle,

who has a kind of guerillia-print-workshop in a little flat.

It was very nice to try on some MONOTYPES.

Above is one of the stereotypes.

Charbonnel developed a waterbased printing-colour.
It`s quite cool to work with it on Monotypes,
because you don`t have to mess arround
with dissolver-stuff.
You can try this @ home :)

El Gouna Sketches

Hello dear Aerienners,

I would like to show you some sketchbooksketches I sketched in December in Egypt.

It`s a shame, but I have to admit that it was not so much a cultural, but more a sportive Kite-vacation. El Gouna, a strange, kind of solitary place on earth. Nevertheless it was great fun drawing...

And a Halleluja to our new year member Laurent!

I hope you are fine & Welcome to our magnificent drawing-Blog!!

All the best from IB

PIXAR

The PIXAR Exhibition in Bonn was great! Lovely character design, sketches, storyboards, and a very spectecular ZOETROPE,
a three-dimensional animation with Toy-Story characters.

I'm impressed by the so-called colorscripts, color drafts in pastel, gouache, acrylics, that simulate diffent light-atmospheres for a setting.

I'd like to see it again, but it's already over.

Cheers, Boris
