If you happen to be in the Seattle area this weekend come by Krab Jab Studio for the opening of Arboreal Dreams group show on Saturday, February 12th. The show opening is from 6 to 9pm. Both Emily and I have pieces in the show. We’ll both be there for the opening. <br /><br />More info here:<br /><a href="http://www.krabjabstudio.com/">http://www.krabjabstudio.com/</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/970495559707584/">https://www.facebook.com/events/970495559707584/</a><br /><br />Arboreal Dreams: The Forest<br />Opens February 13th, 6 - 9 pm<br /><br />Trees have entranced the minds and hearts of man since before our kind could trace time. They served us for food, shelter, clothing, and warmth. They delighted us in their marking of the seasons, their marking of fertile grounds in desolate lands, and the marking of our own fallen comrades (as a natural headstone). They are featured in every religion, every community, every social structure, mystifying us, strengthening us, nurturing us. And finally, they are often the unsung stars in our artistic endeavors, whether they set the scene for an epic battle of good and evil, or whether they themselves serve us, the artists, in the form of wood blocks, totems, painting panels, sculptures, or paper. Without the mighty tree, we would literally die.<br /><br />In this group show, artists were asked to explore their own connection to the nature of trees. Whether they hail from the Pacific Northwest or as far as Belgium, these participating artists visually narrate an arboreal song that weaves together almost seamlessly. The result is as ethereal as it is solid, drawing into the depths of our communal consciousness.<br /><br />This show will run through both February and March, opening February 13th at Krab Jab Studio.<br /><br />Artists Featured: Braden Duncan, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Olivier Villoingt, Bastien Lecouffe Deharme, Iris Compiet, Virginie Ropars, Yuko Ishii, Mark Poole, Drew Tucker, Emily Fiegenschuh, Vinod Rams, Elijah Evenson, Greg Spalenka, Rovina Cai, Jeff Menges, Yvette Endrijautzki, David Gray, Tara Larsen Chang, and Dan Chudzinski.<br />

I just received my copy of <i>Spectrum 22</i>! I was fortunate to have two pieces accepted this year. This time my personal piece <a href="http://www.vinodrams.com/illustration/single-gallery/19449437" target="_blank">"The Green Man"</a> and a cover to <a href="http://vinodrams.blogspot.com/2014/10/imagine-fx-cover-and-workshop.html" target="_blank"><i>Imagine FX</i> titled "Go Gigantic"</a> were published in the book. "Go Gigantic" was a digital painting on which I collaborated with my friend and fellow Motigan <a href="http://gorrem.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Devon Cady-Lee</a> featuring some of the characters from our game.<br />

Once again I'm honored to be included. A few years ago I had a concept piece I did for a <a href="http://vinodrams.blogspot.com/2012/12/spectrum-19.html" target="_blank">LOTR game get in</a>, but this time I'm happy that one of my gouache paintings was selected. I feel more attached to my traditional art, especially since this painting was more of a personal piece.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the judges for picking my stuff! It's always nice to be a part of such a great art community.

Saw Fury Road this past weekend! <br />
I’m a huge Mad Max/Road Warrior fan
and while I think Road Warrior was a “tighter” movie overall, I think Fury Road is probably the best action movie to come along in years. I
think the movie is a sci-fi/fantasy nerd’s dream since it opens up the
world and gives you little glimpses of story without explaining a ton.
In that way it still feels like an 80′s fantasy movie as opposed to one
of the current (boring) superhero blockbusters that seem to come out
every other week.<br />
<br />
Part of that may have come from the fact that
one of the writers is also one of the artists! (Brendan McCarthy. His
site’s down right now but here’s some of his work for Fury Road from
1997. (movie’s been in production for a loooong time) Here's some of his work for the movie:<br />

<br />
Also I loved the character of “Furiosa”. She belongs up there with other
amazing action movie women like Ripley and Sarah Connor!<br />
<br />
The
art direction for the movie was a healthy mix of Road Warrior, Brom and
Heavy Metal (comic or music, pick one! Or both!) Furiosa’s makeup and
the “War Boys” were very reminiscent of Brom’s paintings for the Dark
Age RPG. Oh and throw in a little dash of <a href="https://getlostblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/0uro0358__phil_hale__spectrum_6_call_for_entries_poster.jpg" target="_blank">Phil Hale’s pale jumping guys</a> in there as well.<br />
<br />
Here's some of Brom's work that reminded me of some of the imagery in Fury Road:<br />

If you want to see me draw a community created "Gigantic" character on the fly then tune in to our stream today around 3pm PST. Here's the link:<br />

Here's the reddit thread talking about the stream:<br />

<br />
Should be fun! (or nerve wracking)<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE!</b><br />
Here's a link to the now archived video stream so you can watch it at your leisure. It went well, designed some fun/goofy characters, talked about art, and of course our game.<br />

Update! I have a nice update from the Marriage show at Krab Jab last weekend. Emily and I both sold paintings! <br />
<br />
The painting I sold was "The Green Man" and Emily sold her companion piece titled "Children of the Forest." They were bought by the same patron and it's nice to know that the two pieces made an impact on someone. I actually had some reservations with putting my painting up for sale. It was a personal piece and I was happy with the way it turned out. But beyond that, the painting actually meant something to me. Many of my freelance illustration paintings are fun or interesting but they don't have much long-lasting meaning for me. I'm still working on a post about "The Green Man," but the painting represented a feeling about nature, compassion, and happiness that is hard for me to describe. My only solace is that whoever bought our paintings felt a strong connection to them and just had to have them! <br />

The show opening went really well. There was a steady crowd throughout and Emily, the other attending artists and I gave an interesting artist talk about living and working with our spouses. (I think Krab Jab recorded it but I'm not sure when it's going up on their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/KrabJabStudio/videos" target="_blank">youtube channel</a>)<br />

The show has a special theme featuring artist couples. It's a really great idea for a show since in our years of being professional artists we've come across many artist couples and it's always interesting to see how they work together.<br />
<br />
Emily and I got to know each other because of art, and art is a huge part of our lives together. We'll be doing a talk during the show's opening night on <b>Saturday April 11th from 6-9pm</b>. I'm sure all the art-couples in attendance will have alot of interesting stories about the ups and downs of being with an artist. So if you're in the Seattle area this weekend please come by and check it out!<br />
We'll be a bit late to the opening because we're attending a
workshop taught by Omar Rayyan that also takes place this weekend, but
we do hope to arrive in time for the artist talk. <br />
