War...GOOD GOD!

2010-04-02T09:43:00.001-07:00

So war is our next assignment. I'm going scouting today to find a field or hopefully some dirt mounts to piece together an epic food fight. I want to take a WW2 perpective on it with dirt mounds but if thats not possibly WW1 trenches would be awesome. Pump in some fog for dramatic effect. I'm thinking about how in South Park they redid "Saving Private Ryan" and they changed all the guns to walkie talkies which was satirizing Speilberg's ET where they got rid of all guns and replaced them with walkie talkies in the theatrical re-release. Its this type of idea I want to run with. No guns just food. I also am planing on having someone video tape the whole experience. This will not be just a photoshoot but more like a theatrical recreation of a never fough epic battle.

Critique

2010-04-02T09:30:00.000-07:00

Well, I had had some high expectations for critique on Tuesday. I have been experiementing with creating new landscapes through photoshop, but I didn't really receive any creative feedback on that or much of anything. Apparently Barbies are clique but its better than nothing. The 2 paintings/photos that gained the most attention were ones that I wasn't even that excited about. It was a straight shot nothing complicated. I put a lot of work into the Dali photo and all I got for feed back was its dark. That is not helpful at all. My proudest photo from this critique was the Dali photo since I was able to manipulate the pixels enough so that it looked like something Dali would produce. Even Fadi thought it was brilliant, but apparently the class was unimpressed. There were some good photos during critique but I think that this theme was too easy. You didn't really have the think of positioning because it was already predeterminded in the painting. Most of the class didn't try to put their own spin on it it was more of just recreating the painting and getting it over with. Other artists that have approached recreating paintings questioned the motives of the artists or what the painting was trying to say. This project would have been more successful if it had not been about recreating paintings but reading between the lines of the painting and manipulating those means that we work so hard to learn about in art history.

painting project update and FOOD WAR

2010-03-23T14:22:00.001-07:00

Well, I have 3 out of 6 painting/ photographs done. In the next 2 or 3 days I plan on completely the rest of the paintings. I've decided to do 6 individual paintings so thats caused me to do more work. So far I'm pleased with 2 out of the 3 I've done.

For my war project, since we have to have 6 images I'm doing to host a massive food fight and take a 6 photo series of everything going on it the food fight. perhaps 2 panoramas and then 4 up close photos of people engaging with each other. Its a BYOF type event. I plan on having over 20 people attending this event. As for location I want an open field. perhaps have everyone dressed in their finest. I still have the details to work out as far as wardorbe and hair and what exactly am I trying to achieve with this epic food fight. or more like a FOOD WAR!

Better late than never.

Tomorrow I'm getting up early to go and find a location, got to good will and get all props. 2 of my models dropped out of the shot. so I might use multiples of my 2 other models. I'm going to do a total of 5paintings and pick the best 3.. I really hate when I hit snags in the road, but thats the life a photographer. Models are flaky plain and simple. blah

One of My Favorite Painters.

2010-03-06T12:45:00.001-08:00

Mark Ryden came to preeminence in the 1990’s during a time when many artists, critics and collectors were quietly championing a return to the art of painting. With his masterful technique and disquieting content, Ryden quickly became one of the leaders of this movement on the West Coast.

Upon first glance Ryden’s work seems to mirror the Surrealists’ fascination with the subconscious and collective memories. However, Ryden transcends the initial Surrealists’ strategies by consciously choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. His dewy vixens, cuddly plush pets, alchemical symbols, religious emblems, primordial landscapes and slabs of meat challenge his audience not necessarily with their own oddity but with the introduction of their soothing cultural familiarity into unsettling circumstances.

Viewers are initially drawn in by the comforting beauty of Ryden’s pop-culture references, then challenged by their circumstances, and finally transported to the artist’s final intent – a world where creatures speak from a place of childlike honesty about the state of mankind and our relationships with ourselves, each other and our past.

Clearly infused with classical references, Ryden’s work is not only inspired by recent history, but also the works of past masters. He counts among his influences Bosch, Bruegel and Ingres with generous nods to Bouguereau and Italian and Spanish religious painting.

Over the past decade, this marriage of accessibility, craftsmanship and technique with social relevance, emotional resonance and cultural reference has catapulted Ryden beyond his roots and to the attention of museums, critics and serious collectors. Ryden’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, including a recent museum retrospective “Wondertoonel” at the Frye Museum of Art in Seattle and Pasadena Museum of California Art.

Mark Ryden was born in Medford Oregon. He received a BFA in 1987 from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles where he paints slowly and happily amidst his countless collections of trinkets, statues, skeletons, books, paintings and antique toys.

2010-03-04T22:26:00.001-08:00

So, the Turkish bath idea is not going to work and I've grown tired of entertaining the idea of juggling nakedness and nudity. So i'm changing one my paintings. I am going to go for Mark Ryden's " Saint Barbie." This will be a brilliant recreation.

SPECIAL THURSDAY

2010-03-04T21:56:00.000-08:00

Here are 2 finished images from my special thursday shoot. I made the balloon a little bigger as well as the basket. Dropped a background and BLAM done.

The toughest part of completing this project was trying to meet my own expectations. At first I was really unhappy with how the set turned out, mainly the ballon and how the scale balloon to box was just not right. It semed to come together very nicely. I'm happy with these two images, and I might possibly do more editing later on the other photos.

I've always wanted to build my own set of some sort I just never really had a reason since I rarely shoot in a studio setting. I think this is something I'd like to continue as soon as I start making more money. Since materials set me back a bit.

Anyways,

To Whom it may concern,
Enjoy.

Updates on Projects

2010-02-28T17:19:00.000-08:00

So I'm still in the process of constructing my Thursday shoot. On top of all that I am also trying to plan out my next project. I choose my paintings, but now I feel that a recreation of a painting isn't nearly enough. Should we not question what the painting was trying to say then contemporaize it?

For The Picnic on the Grass by Manet, I was thinking of doing a role reversal. Where the naked woman who stares at the viewer is a youthful boy or man and the ones conversing are women. That specific painting was about taking your secret lover out while your wife is doing who knows what. So now its more empowering to women, who can keep a secret agenda of having a boy toy to have picnics with.

For the Goya, I choose myself as a the subject and instead of bats and owls and cats being the monsters. I want to incorporate my own monsters. The piece is called "the sleep that brings forth monsters". And that exactly where I am going to go with that.

I have been weighing my options on the turkish bath but I don't know if I could successful orchestrate such a photo. If i did it documentary style I could just waltz into a YMCA into the women's locker room and secretly start shooting women showering. If only my shutter was silent. I could bring a group of girls in with me but none of us have YMCA memberships. I need to find my girls.. at least 6 and I can just photoshop clones of them.

if that doesn't seem possible then I have the swing. Florida doesn't have lush gardens like that. And this painting is the same thing as Manets just a commissioned piece to show a man and his misteress. I feel like that would be redundant.

I'm not sure whats going to happen with this project. I'm wishing myself good luck.

New Project Ideas

2010-02-26T09:48:00.000-08:00

Our next project is to recreate a painting in the form of a photograph. So i've picked a few paintings that I wouldn't mind recreating in my own way.

I have choosen 4
1) Ingres- Turkish Bath
2) Fragonard -The Swing
3) Goya- El Sueno de la razon produce monstruos (The sleep of reason brings forth monsters)
4) Manet- The Picnic

I know that Goya's work is a etching but its still really awesome. Now to figure out how to pull this off.

Sylvia Plath death plus some rambling.

2010-02-16T14:08:00.001-08:00

So I wanted to my project to revolve around the deaths of authors, but I feel like I'm being redundant with the "Death of" kick I seem to be on. I got Sylvia Plath's death done, but I think I would like to focus more on emotion. So I'm leaning towards a solider coming home from battle for my next historical recreation. I don't know if i want to have a consistent theme for this project. I want to play around with the camera on my cell phone for the solider coming home. I'm not sure. I need to make some solid decisions because critique is on Tue. :(

New Artist- Rheana Gardner

http://www.rheanagardner.com/

I find Rheana Gardner's work really interesting especially her "To Carve & To Cave" series. She makes herself into the modern woman. Bares all to reconstruct old fine art paintings as she incorporates it with the aspect of self portraiture.

Indecisive Moment project, and studio project.

2010-02-11T19:58:00.000-08:00

I was able to push back my studio date to March 4th. I traded with Darron. I need more time to constuct that air balloon. Its the one thing that is stressing me out. So far i cut down a big beach umberlla into a ballon shape. It was my dad's idea, but I'm not sure if I like it. I might have to extend it with plaster gauze and reinforce it. But this is what I get for being ambitious, and being poor. For my Indecisive moment project, I am going for the 3 different sucides commited by authors. So far I have Sylvia Plath shot. I am hoping to get Virginia Woolf shot this week sometime. And finally Ernest Hemingway which I think will be my most difficult shoot to pull off in such little time. I still haven't found a location, and my model isnt really as Hemingway as I like. I'm sure it'll work out. It always does.

I've spent a lot of time thinking up ways to recreate historical events, I was bouncing around to misquotes, legos, food, then suicides. So I picked 3 of my favorite authors, Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf whom all commited suicide. I am going to recreate their death photos, I'm going for the flash of a blub for crime scene style photograph. I have my models now I need time to plan this all out (which I don't have very much of) and hope that nothing goes wrong, of course something always does. Meh. I'll stay positive.

^^this is not Sylvia Plath but more of an inspirational photo^^

This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Kseniya Simonova says:
"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment."

Please take time out to see this amazing piece of art.

Samples:

Things are going steady with my project I have 3 images complete, so far. I will be working on the last 2 images this weekend and hope to actually have GOOD quality prints mounted for my own personal use. Wendy showed me an artist by the name of Tim Roda who apparently uses his son in all of his photographs that deal with mythological concepts. I find is surprising when I come up with an idea and feel that it is completely original but then later find out that someone else has already done it. I guess that is just how life is. Life is void of originality.

2010-01-18T19:27:00.001-08:00

I am really inspired by Grace Weston

For my first assignment, I am given to task to recreate my earliest memories. My memories are hazy and have run together over the years. I remember bed time and what a task it was for my parents to get me to stay in bed. I am thinking of running with the idea of a box and string to trap a child in their bed. I also remember building a plane out of cardboard in my backyard and allowing my imagination to run wild. I also remember monsters and imaginary friends.

I want to try and complete this project using small scale scenes. Materials would include things I used as a child like doll house furniture, paper boats, toys, and fabrics. I want to create an imaginary landscape from fabrics and cotton. I need to think more on how this will pan together.

The Deaths of the Disney Princesses

2009-12-11T13:48:00.000-08:00

As a little girl, I grew up in the realm of Disney Princesses and their happily ever after endings. Since I’ve grown up I have distanced myself from the Disney image and immersed myself in what the real world has offered me, a world of disenchantment. I am drawn to obscure realities and nostalgic iconography. I enjoy looking at images that draw me into other realms , into the artist’s subconscious where I can burrow to find my own inspiration. The stories that have inspired the Disney Princesses have been sugar-coated to fit a certain image that has become one of the most profitable , and marketable franchises in the world. I am inspired by the collaborative teamwork of Disney animators and the atrocities seen in news papers and on TV. The question I pose for the viewer is what if there were no happily ever after, what would realistically happen to these idealized princesses?

well its been a long time since I've posted

This term has enabled me to become more conceptual with my photography rather than be merely focused on just fashion or narration. School has allowed me access to an actual studio where I get to work with 1800 strobes, so I've been able to really push the boundaries of my imagination. I can't wait until I have enough cash to get my own studio set up.

I've started developing new perspectives on the human body. I am now trying to blur the line between reality and illusion. In my current project I am dancing the fine line between abstract and figurative imagery. I am inspired by studies and disfigurement, nudity and oddities. The body now is not what it use to be. I guess I've just been so desensitized by the nude figure that I can no long see it as a nake body but a series of shapes and shadows; much like an abstraction of flesh. Here is a taste of where I am in my journey.

I am now starting to learn on Mac's and understand the importance of screen calibration and color balance. Here are some normal shots of Brittney J and Lady Bates; fashion to a certain extent while still a bit conceptual in a few of them.

It has also come to my attention that a true artist do not reveal all her or his secrets, so my posting of images on the web will be decreasing massivly. I will be working on more extensive projects that will be displayed in galleries or shared through a physical portfolio. I realized since photography is truly a field of Simulacrum, it is best to keep your ideas secretive..so this blog might be documentations of every day events or just my responses to artistic theory or contemporary artists of our time.

I do plan on redoing my webpage so look for that in the future.

The Death of the Frog Prince

"The Death of the Frog Prince"

A frog possess boil diseases and a bellyful of parasites.
He says: Kiss me. Kiss me.
At such a time she throws her ball in the air releasing it like bubbles,
into the well it goes.
It was ordained, as simple as the fates deal out the plague with tarot cards.
The ball sank like a cast-iron pot.
It is lost, she laments.
As a tear ran the well grew thick, boiling.
And who should appear: a frog
His eyes bulged like two peas and his body was carpentered into place.
Do not be afraid, he said, I am no vagabond.
I come to you as a tradesman.
*********
I have something for sale.
Your ball, he said, for just three things.
Let me eat from your plate, drink from your cup, and sleep in your bed.
She agreed though her intentions were not true.
And like an old dog he brought up her ball.
over joyed she ran like a doe back to her home leaving the frog quite alone.
That evening three raps at the door
Let me in, he demanded, you promised; now open to me.
She was forced to comply.
And so he sat on her lap. He was as awful and foul as an undertaker.
Soon he was at her plate, enjoying her food.
Forced to eat in tandem.
She choked as if she were eating rotten meat.
From her cup he drank
From her cup she drank as if it were Socrates' hemlock.
Next came the bed,
The silky bed. Ah!
I have been lost in a river of shut doors, he said, and I have made my way over the wet stones to live with you.
She woke up aghast.
I suffer for no frog, she said, and threw him across the room.
Kaboom!
A forfeit of her happy ending.
The frog prince has died.
