Hi guys, long time no post!
Anyhow, here’s an article that was forwarded to me about sketching and memory. I tend to sketch when I’m alert and relaxed; faces, random things, more random things, etc… especially while in class. I’ve had trouble where people assumed that I was not paying attention while sketching, even if I was (and still had copious amounts of text notes as well as the massive doodles in the margins.
Feral Cities, Feral People
December 17, 2008 at 8:49 pm (Other Sites, Research)
Checked out the itunesU podcasts on Feral Cities (do a search for ‘feral cities’, you’ll find the files). Feral Cities are cities where law and order as we know it has left and the so-called law of might makes right has returned.
Feral Cities Definition and Article…
which lead to tales of Feral People….
La Specola

La Specola is a museum in italy that houses detailed anatomical wax models. The models were used in medical instruction in a time when most schools could only afford 1 cadaver/year, and were also there to show the triumvir of reason over superstition, bla bla bla. In short: It has a room full of wax replicas of dead people, that are just really creepy, and awesome. So for your edification I present: Really Neat Dead Things

Sleepwalkers – MoMA

the moMA had an exhibit called Sleepwalkers, and on iTUNES U, there’s a lot of different things, including a serries on the exhibition, of the artists and people involved talking about various things under Conversations with Contemporary Artists/Think Modern.
I found it interesting, because I don’t often get to hear artists speak about their work, and it adds something to the viewing experience to me, and it makes me stop and think about things as different people have a different take on various aspects of art -and the viewing of it. The Sleepwalkers conversation with the artists brings to light not just what is viewed, but also HOW we view artwork, and how space is set up.

When a family commissioned architect Eric Clough to design their 5th Avenue Apartment, they got more than they bargained for- a home, and a whimsical, gorgeous, detail-filled mystery.

I really enjoyed listening to this clip; I think you could apply most of the stuff he’s talking about to any of the arts.
(un)Life and Times of an Artist

Real Life’s been chewing up my time, my sanity, and all that fun stuff, as RL usually does; but the internet has not forgotten me. Case in point; an online friend who goes by the nickname of MuseHick on Whitechapel, who spotlighted my art here:

Got my homework done! HAH! It took some doing, but M1k3y got my stuff.

My E-house is still something of a disaster area (Hey, it matches IRL. I’m going for a THEME here).
