How odd that it turned out so not the way it should be.

Igor is puzzled.

60. Influence Map

By: Craig Deeley, on 9/28/2011
Blog: GreenLightCD (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Influence Map, comics, Add a tag

I wanted to highlight and discuss some of the artists that have inspired and influenced my from the very beginning to the present. I wanted to draw a map of the flow of influences I have encountered thru time. The map may or may not be the best way to present things - but it makes a good metaphor.

Along with the map I wanted to point out some of the reasons why these artists have been standouts and or the converse - why other artists have not stood out in comparison.

In my career and pre-career there have been certain points where I became very aware of some artists and very interested in doing what they did. Before that, I had a nonspecific art vocabulary that was not meant to look like any particular artists - but was meant to live in the same world as the art I knew around me. Comic book and comic strip art mostly.

There was a time when I was more a consumer and imitator of art than I am now. The same art that I desperately wanted more of when I was starting out has become - while still interesting in an abstract way - less interesting! I am now driven by a different craving. Harder to define... I want something and at this point I know what it isn't. It isn't more of the things I knew and loved. As I find it - I will try to link to it (if on the web) and shine the same light on it that I will try to shine on the influences I will be showing here. I want to live whatever it is I am craving. Make art that speaks to the craving. Says what I want to see (said)...

The green is already turning. Looking up thru the leaves could eat up hours... The way the light comes thru the leaves and the way they move if a little breeze blows them...

Undisguised pride - my daughter turned eleven a short while ago.

Healthy, happy, bright and beautiful!

We do have bunnies in our back and front yard. They are not so well fed looking. They don't get cake. We call them children of "Skinny", a rabbit that was eating my grass a year or so back - but never looked well fed. They are all "skinnys"!

Really riding the swell

From a book created by my very good friend Lance Hutto and myself - seems a very long time ago...

Samples of the book!

The art was created entirely with the then Mac only application Studio Artist.

This is more like what I wanted to create with the previous post. A very long thin wrapping image with a more organic feeling. Done with Studio Artist (line) and Photoshop (color)

This last year I had the opportunity to work with a some great seasoned artists and total newcomers developing a new collection of read aloud childrens books for Starfall.

Erin Vaganos, a fantastic painter has created two really beautiful books for us. The Frog Prince and The Ant and the Chysalis. Erin is new to the print world. Have a look at her rich, colorful illustrations:
