As you can see, the paintings are almost done now. They’re brightening up the studio downstairs. It’s really quite beautiful to see them all lined up whith the sunlight passing through the bamboo blinds. The paintings are beginning to feel more like a cohesive set with a common language of blobs, sepia washes, dense line-work and a tendency toward flatness in lieu of modeling and light-rendering. The next time we update on the Vive La Rose paintings, you’ll be seeing the finished product!
Don’t forget that the finished paintings will be showing (along with a screening of Vive La Rose) at the Christina Parker Gallery, in conjunction with the Nickel Film Festival and the 15th biannual Sound [...]

The boys in 1998creative have been working on a few things for this year’s Music Waste. You already saw the animation, now check out these flyers that they whipped up. They modeled the 2 designs after their favorite thing in the world: cheap beer (Pilsner and Pabst Blue Ribbon cans to be exact). The festival runs from June 2nd-5th of this year and happens at venues all over the city. Check the Music Waste website for more info.
Today we’re going to show you a little something that Global Mechanic’s own 1998creative came up with for this year’s Music Waste. Some of you might be wondering what Music Waste is. Well, it’s a music art and comedy festival held at various venues all over Vancouver. It goes from June 2nd to June 5th 2010. For more info on venues and artists please visit the music waste website here.
The animation will be up on the music waste website and should be playing here and there on a loop during the festival. It was meant as a sort of fun little art project that could be projected at any venue. As you can see, the animation takes you on a trip through the history of music players from the gramophone all the way up to the mp3 player.

It appears as though Bruce is starting to finish some of these paintings. Check out the figure-drawing on the two fish pictures. Beautiful. And what about those water pictures? They’re looking mighty wet! We can see that Bruce has added quite a bit of turpentine to the potatoes to try and get that watercolor effect in the boiling potatoes painting. To get the effect of the steam, he’s used a drybrush with white paint. He’s also added sepia washes to the paintings of the woman to tone down the candy pink backgrounds. Next Bruce plans on adding some punch to the cod jigger and finishing the figures in the piano scene.
The finished paintings will be showing (along with a screening of Vive La Rose) at the Christina Parker Gallery, in [...]
