The Juniper Tree Idea

2011-09-21T10:43:00.004-05:00

Haven't posted here a lot, and when I did not much of illustration was going on but I have been inspired by the books that William Morris made.. and have been looking back at the idea of illustrating the Grimm's fairytale, "The Juniper Tree." Here are some first sketches made for the character, Marlene that appears in the book.

More to come later... I hope.

something cool that I bought

2011-01-16T07:09:00.002-06:00

Something cool that I bought in Tokyu Hands a little bit ago. It is a measuring cup shaped like a Russian matryoshka. There are three in total and each one (top and bottom) is for different amount. Personally, I would have loved it even more if it was made in ceramic, but it would be too heavy and breakable, so it is made in plastic. Right now I do not use it but it s lovely! Go here for more information on the matryoshka: http://www.worldwidefred.com/m-cups.htm

1 cup = 240ml
3/4 cup = 180ml
2/3 cup = 160ml
1/2 cup = 120ml
1/3 cup = 80ml
1/4 cup = 60ml

Kazunari Hattori - gallery talk

2010-11-24T09:45:00.022-06:00

I listened to both gallery talks for the exhibition of Kazunari Hattori.

ginza graphic gallery(ggg)
November 4 (Thu.) to November 27 (Sat.), 2010
DNP Ginza Bldg., 7-7-2 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061
Tel: 03-3571-5206
11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. (Open until 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays)
Closed on Sundays and holidays, Admission free.

I cannot take pictures of the inside so this is the outside of the exhibition.

The first thing you see is plywood that resembles a backstage of a set. The set is another gallery within ginza graphic gallery, and when you enter the "staged gallery," you then see bright rooms (3 rooms) whose walls are all covered with B1 sized poster that Mr. Kazunari created. The posters aren't stuck to the wall, unlike a wallpaper, and is loosely nailed on the top. Each wall is covered with different pattern, all of them are re-mix of works he has done before. 6 out of 12 of the patterns are on sell at the gallery (limited print).

The basement floor consists of 9 years of Mr. Kazunari's work that he has done. The first thing that is there on the plywood shelf it the magazine "Ryu-kou Tsu-shin", which he art directed for 2 years. Pasted on the walls of the plywood, he had posters and small graphic works (tickets, flyers, etc) of museum exhibitions. On the floor are low tables that show other magazines he art directed such as "Gekkan Hyakka." Few logos he has designed were also printed on the the back side of a plywood wall. The only thing that was in frames were his hand written letters framed, and hung in a small room that resembles a small gallery.

A good explanation can be seen here as well (in English): "Japan Times"

Pictures of the inside and good explanation can be seen here (in Japanese)
"excite.ism"
"Who Designed This?"

1. Time: November 12 (Fri.) 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Speakers: Kiyonori Muroga (editor for Idea magazine) + Kazunari Hattori

Mr. Kiyonari Muroga is the editor for Idea magazine, a magazine that specializes in design. For this gallery talk, Mr. Kiyonari was the listener and the interviewer of Mr. Kazunari about this exhibition.

The first talk started with Mr. Kazunari explaining what his first ideas were in doing the exhibition, which he always had in mind using plywood and not wanting to use the gallery wall because he didn't want to show his works in a traditional way. He didn't want something like a ticket, to all the sudden be "gallery worthy." Ticket is a ticket, and that was why he pasted the tickets (and others) to the plywood wall directly. Talking about the exhibition also showed his way he approached designing. He felt that something that makes people be in awe is good. He wanted to make thing he designed not really "designed," maybe seems accidental (but this is not the case since he tries and do the layout over and over again to see which one works).

Mr. Kazunari: To present my work on the gallery wall at ginza graphic gallery, was something I felt was not right thing to do. Almost to the point that it would be an act of betrayal to what I have been doing as a 'designer'

(talking about 1st floor)"If there is only one poster, then people wonder 'what does this rose mean?' But if it is patterned, people see it as 'decoration.' In a way, people see it as is. It was something I can just say that it is 'just pattern.' Does design need to have something more then just design? Isn't it just good to look good?"

"I always try to remember what I thought was good back in middle school. It isn't that I 'believe' what I liked back then, but I think there is a reason why I liked it. I might have not understood or knew why, but there was something I felt."

Mr. Hattori Kazunari

2. Time: November 19 (Fri.) 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Speakers: Bunpei Yorifuji (art director) + Kazunari Hattori

Mr. Bunpei Yorifuji is an art director well known for book design and for his illustration. Mr. Kazunari chose Mr. Bunpei for the gallery talk since he did not have a time to speak to him before.

The second talk started with Mr. Bunpei explaining his works. His book design, I do not know, but his illustrations he draws are easy to understand works. He bases his illustrations off of icons and signs, something that is very communicative. Mr. Kazunari thought the way Mr. Benpei and him thought about design was different, but then thought that maybe there was something similar when he saw one of Mr. Bunpei's book design(Nagashima Yurie's photography book "SWISS"). Mr. Bunpei also felt that him and Mr. Kazunari was quite different, in fact he saw Mr. Kazunari as his polar opposite. Mr. Bunpei approaches the design that makes sense, that he can explain why he did what he did and tries to make it understandable to everyone. In the end, Mr. Kazunari felt that Mr. Bunpei saw who he was in a bit skewed vision, but they did indeed worked quite differently. Mr. Kazunori said "you made me realize how I don't have reasons and how I work by my gut feeling."

Mr. Bunpei: I never wanted to be an illustrator but I became known that I was since I debuted as one. I felt like I needed to do something that was very 'designy' in order to show that I was a designer. That's why I designed books.

"Mr. Hattori's exhibition feels like a praying place... like it is given to the 'design god.'"

"I try to design not something 'that is kinda good,' but something 'I can explain.' I make things that even my mother will understand."

"Using speech balloon sells well. Everything that is in the speech balloon is interpreted as as 'sound' to people who see them."

"When I design the cover for a book, I think about how I want people to read the text"

"I think what people think is 'individuality' is just people showing what they think."

----------------------------

It is hard to explain why people like Mr. Kazunari's work. Even professional writers have a hard time explaining them (as written in the two blog links). It may be because he isn't out to break the rules like an anarchist, but he does challenge the current trend. It may be because he designs like it was an accident, but that its actually something that came out from hours and hours of laying things out, pondering and wondering. It may not seem like "good design" to some people. And yet that is probably what he meant to do. It is hard to not feel good in this exhibition space, however. And that is probably because we can feel and like the design, wither we really understand or not.

----------------------------
Kazunari Hattori
Born in Tokyo in 1964. Graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (the present-day Tokyo University of the Arts) in 1988 with a degree in design. In that year, he joined Light Publicity Co., Ltd. Since April 2001, he has actively worked as an independent art director and graphic designer.

Well, me ver 2.0 hasn't quite happened yet but it is slow steps maybe!

I like pen

2010-11-16T09:53:00.002-06:00

Kind of going back to drawing on the train again. Above is a random salary man on the subway.

I was drawing with fountain pen at first few days before this, but then I saw James Jean's work at the exhibition with his amazing pen work, and that made me realize that I like ballpoint pen as well. Of course, this is NOTHING close to what his sketch works looked like.. but now I know I like how the pen looks like, more then a fountain pen...

L.A. SECRET STUDIO: DAVID CHOE & JAMES JEAN

2010-11-13T07:30:00.020-06:00

L.A. SECRET STUDIO: DAVID CHOE & JAMES JEAN
10/29/2010 ~ 11/14/2010
@ Parco Factory (Shibuya Parco Part 1 6F)
10:00~21:00 (last day until 18:00)

So I went to Shibuya PARCO 1 to see David Choe and James Jean's work! The above image is the famous intersection (as seen in "Lost in Translation"). I took this picture from the Shibuya Station window which is located in front of the Tarou Okamoto's mural.

And here in the heart of fashion of the Tokyoites, was the "L.A. SECRET STUDIO: DAVID CHOE & JAMES JEAN" in Shibuya Parco 1.

This exhibition show cased works by James Jean and David Choe, showing both reproductions and original art, as well as a short documentary film about them both and this exhibition. They also had hand full of things on sell at the sight such as bags, key holders, and t-shirts.

I asked the desk and they told me I could take a picture so here are part of the exhibition space:

The top is part of the room that showed James Jean's work, and the bottom is David Choe's room.

The exhibition space was divided into three rooms (which one of them had the goodies for sell and the documentary) and had maybe about under 50 works total, but the original art showcased here brought much substance. Original work, such as this James Jean's sketch book that was on display on the top, or this original artwork which was actually for sell (which was still on sell when I was there!) on the bottom. (*the picture only shows part of the artwork)

He also had few reproductions from his sketch book on display, and if it was to scale (which I think it was, considering the size of the sketch book pictured above), I was amazed by his intricate detailed pen drawings. See my finger here, and the detail on the Asian looking mask!

Interesting thing was that this exhibition was produced by Good Smile Company, which apparently makes figures and Nendroids. I am not quite sure, but I think this was the reason why there were art pieces of "Black Rock Shooter" by both of these artists. Black Rock Shooter (BRS) is a girl with huge gun and one eye that is always covered in blue flames. But taking that "moe" type art to James Jean (which he depicted BRS as a girl covered in starfish and carrying a harpoon) and David Choe (BRS in his style) was interesting. I wonder what they really thought about this character. ^^;

Open till 11/14! If you buy stuff at the exhibition space, you can get a exhibition "eco bag." :)

--------------------------------------------
BIO:
James Jean:
James Jean is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. Immediately upon graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 2001, he became a regular cover artist for DC/Vertigo Comics in 2001. A unique mix of art historical and modern design references, Jean's covers received great critical and popular acclaim, winning him 5 consecutive Eisner Awards and 3 consecutive Harvey Awards for Best Cover Artist. This early exposure led him to create work for clients such as the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Atlantic Records, Playboy, Nike, Target, and Prada. Since 2007, he has stopped illustrating in favor of personal paintings, book projects, and gallery shows.

David Choe:
David Choe (born 1976, Los Angeles, CA) is a muralist and graphic artist". His murals ornament walls from Los Angeles to Vietnam, as does his graffiti. He is known as much for his exaggerated vulgarity as for his aesthetic sense. His self-published (with a Xeric Foundation grant) award-winning graphic novels, Slow Jams, (1996) and Bruised Fruit (2002) introduced diverse groups of people to museum art, and alternatively to the graphic novel genre. His most recent book is Cursiv: Giant Robot presents a book of dirty drawings (2003). His first solo show was at a small ice cream shop on Melrose Avenue of Los Angeles' westside, called Double Rainbow, where his show was supposed to run a month, but stayed up for 2 years, constantly changing after pieces started selling better than the ice cream.

So yes, I read in the train!

creepy... but helpful

2010-09-20T08:18:00.003-05:00

I went to see something similar to "Body Works" in Japan. Somewhere where they take a real dead body and use plastic or something to preserve as is... and cut them up, or pose them in a swimming position, etc.

Since it was during summer break, a lot of people were with their kids, which I was surprised. I thought I'd be traumatized if I were them but instead kids seem more just innocently interested, while the adults make a fuss.

And.... I was pretty grossed out. I could say "disgusted" but that seemed like it was bit too strong of a word. However, when I was looking at the muscles I really realized how much I didn't know about how the muscles where, and how it would be helpful if I knew how they are. So, I drew quick sketches of the bodies... and I think I was able to creep out few people by doing so.

Maybe I'll look more into anatomy books (drawn illustrations) since the real thing (and pictures) makes me feel sick a bit...

2010-03-08T08:27:00.002-06:00

I found a book titled "London Immortals" in a to-be-thrown-away pile.
An old book that was about London Immortals - famous Londeners who lived, and/or died there.

So I decided to make that my sketch book and change it to "Tokyo Mortals"

Since the setting is Tokyo, and people I draw are normal people on the train-thus, "mortal."

2010-02-15T09:16:00.004-06:00

Been thinking about my style almost 24/7.

"You don't have to be "good," you just got to have your own voice."

Seems like trying to be "good" was all I tried to do. The only forte of mine, Japanese influenced style, just ended up being something obsolete. Cute? There's tons of people here that can do that better then you. Anime style? The same.

Seems like there is a trend in Japanese illustration world to like childlike looking illustrations. I don't really get whats so great about them, but I try to understand that its new, interesting and that it shows emotion (and etc). This is in part because of the fact that so many teachers at Palette Club said what you feel, what your trying to show (not physically, but emotion and feeling) is what matters.

After few disappointing classes (as in I-feel-like-shit), I realized that my illustrations had none of that. If it was an apple on the table, it was that. I wasn't thinking about showing how lonely the apple was or anything else.

After a few classes, I didn't have a favorite piece or a piece I was proud of. I didn't know what and how I wanted to draw, and drawing wasn't fun anymore.

I guess it should be written in present tense since that is still the case.
But in any rate, just thinking about drawing wasn't going to solve anything... Now that I realize I really don't know what I want, or how I want to draw, I decided to try to draw every day. I hope that someday this will lead me to an answer.

Or at least that is what I'm trying to tell myself

This is a view from the train through the window to the other compartment.

Sometimes I wish I lost my memory of drawing so I could start it all over again. I think I just learned how to make it look "good" that it's hard for me to find a way to draw originally

train #16

2010-02-08T10:04:00.001-06:00

Been doing other things but today, I went and saw original drawings for picture books. It just made me think about my art again. I think I need to find out what makes my art "my art."

Hopefully drawing these will help me find that out

train #15

2010-02-07T09:31:00.002-06:00

I think this was one of them, "I want to draw that hand" thing

train #14

2010-02-03T09:31:00.003-06:00

The good thing about drawing everyday is that I'm also doing other things as well. I am doing few other things, although its mainly fanart related. I've been working on pixel art, not finished yet but here:

I've also been working out little by little.. maybe I'll actually end up with a bit of muscle!

train people series #12 &13

Last year I kept on "thinking" about drawing an illustration, and when I did I just got frustrated, but now that I'm just drawing almost everyday, I realize now that "thinking" about drawing is really stupid... instead of thinking about it, and thinking about how it should turn out, how I should do it, I should've just done something.

I think my colour choice is getting interesting?

train people series #10 and cappuccino

2010-01-28T09:44:00.004-06:00

This is actually not a person on a train, but a friend of mine (Shun, who was in England for collage, ring a bell anyone?) playing PSP.

--------------

So... I was at an Italian restaurant with 3 other people. We could choose a drink after words, like tea or coffee. Myself and two other people chose cappuccino. And out comes the first cappuccino with that foam art thingy. It's the classic pattern, the leaf! (I don't know the technical term, but that's what it looks like). I wasn't expecting this, as well as others. We just thought it would be normal cappuccino without the frill. So we're saying stuff like, "wow, that's cool!" and getting excited. The second one comes and it was a heart shape. So last is mine, and we're still talking about how we weren't expecting anything fancy and....

hmm..
No matter how I look at it, it looks like... well, maybe a "S?"

I have no idea why mine was the only one that they didn't do anything on. Maybe it was the one that they screwed up on, or maybe the person making it just didn't like me all that much!

drawing on the train is quite hard. I always draw while standing since usually there is no seat and I don't want to sit because it's easier for other people to see what I am drawing. But it is quite hard not just because I want to hide what I am drawing, but because more people get on the train as it goes. So most likely I would be drawing someone on the other side of the seat and someone would stand right in between me and that person. Usually I am able to draw in time before someone stands in front/between, but sometimes this doesn't happen.. so this was one of those days when people just kept on being in my way.

train people series #5 and Flee Market

2010-01-16T08:21:00.011-06:00

------
Today there was a famous flee market that started 400 years ago that I went. Very cold! I mean, cold for Tokyo.

Here is a taste of what it looked like:
ALOT of people! There were few tourists too (outside Japan).

This is what the stores are like:
People line up their products on the streets. Numerous food venders where out as well

Some one had antique French stuff including old news paper and old receipts from 1950s.

Old Japanese accessory used in Edo Period.

Tons of old cameras! (there was a warning that said this was only for interior decoration only and that it cannot be used... sad):

A dried gourd lamp! It was really beautiful..:

so, I have started since end of last year to actually draw everyday because I just have been lacking that. So I have started drawing on the train, and I have made it a goal this year to update my blog on Mon, Wed, and Friday!

So here's the first one I did December, 2009.

Sleeping ones are the ones to draw!

Happy New Year!

Me and Dorkel

2009-09-06T09:39:00.003-05:00

Given a title "Me and Dorkel" and had to do 2 illustration about it. Dorkel is a non-existent word. I imagined it being a bird-headed gentlemen that is an imaginary friend of the girl.

Suppose to be a picture book type illustration.

Done with acrylic, and a bit of photoshop.
