Franke James vs Government of Canada
With the founding of the Canada Council for the Arts over 50 years ago,the government of Canada has always recognized the fundamental importance of supporting a diverse range of artistic practices at “arm’s length”, meaning that no political party ever has the right to dictate to artists what they can do, even when supported by public money. Until now. Franke James’...

Drawn mega-pal Meg Hunt has posted a gorgeous short video of her solo show, Cosmic Forest, currently up at Portland’s Land Gallery. I had the great fortune of seeing the show in-person last weekend, and… well, it’s hard not to gush over a friend’s work anyway, but this show truly is superb. Meg’s linework and drybrush and colors (the colors!) and the tantalizing tease...

shorts on the go #1- Ancco (Eng) (by 만화,영화 comics,cinema) A thoroughly enjoyable mini documentary about Korean cartoonist Ancco. It’s part of a series of short films about Korean cartoonists over at Comicinema. Ancco’s work looks like a lot of fun — I see shades of Roz Chast and Pascal Girard. I particularly enjoyed her thoughts on drawing directly in ink after discovering that...

The Man Who Shot The Man Who Shot Lincoln (by Drew Christie) Says Drew: It was animated in charcoal, pastels and crayon on the pages of 12 paperback books. The driver’s side window of a box truck was used as the light box for animating because I made the entire thing while I was at work.

Matthieu Bessudo
mcbess: I just finished my illustration, I called it “Le South Park” since I watched all 15 seasons of south park while doing it, which might result in some references here and there. The real Drawing is about 1 meter long so and will be exhibited during my show at the book club ( London/ 4th august). I’ll post more details about the show later on . Matthieu Bessudo, everyone.

“In a Word: PERSIST.”
cameronmoll: This morning I tweeted about a lack of inspiration and having to trudge through it. In response, @brainhofj tweeted about the following: This handwritten letter is by Austin Madison, Pixar animator of Rex, the green dinosaur in the Toy Story series (among other characters he’s designed). Madison’s letter is a submission to the Animators Letters Project, and it so eloquently...

Divide (by matt abbiss) This reminds me of Norman McLaren’s Begone Dull Care, but in reverse — here the music was created to match the abstract animation, rather than the other way around. (via Tom Gauld)

Emily Carroll, interview at The Comics Journal →
Emily Carroll drew her very first comic in May 2010. Thirteen months later, she won the Joe Shuster Award for Outstanding Web Comics Creator. So go ahead, pull “meteoric rise” out of the cliché file and wave it like you just don’t care—Carroll and her comics have earned the term.

dbox: Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions →
dbox: I recently did a google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close. Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me…

– I don’t see the big deal in this. Um, Andy Warhol, anyone? He all but opened the floodgates for this process, not to mention that many of the Great Masters used assistants to “help” them with paintings. What do you think?
