It used to be that the only place animation could be screened was on a rectangular screen, be it a large theatrical screen, or more modest TV and computer screens. Things are changing though. Today, animation is projected onto irregularly-shaped three-dimensional buildings and trees in nature. It’s painted on subway tunnels where it can be viewed from a moving subway car. And now, thanks to MonkeyLectric, animation can be seen on bicycle wheels:

Over the past few years, the small Berkeley, California-based company has developed a number of prototypes. The Monkey Light Pro Bicycle Wheel Display System is their most advanced product to date with over 256 full-color LEDs on each wheel. Their system allows users to upload approximately 90 seconds of animation in a variety of media formats including AVI, MPEG, MOV, Quicktime, and FLV, and to display it to the public while riding a bike.

To start manufacturing the Monkey Light Pro, they’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign with a funding goal of $180,000 by July 21st. They’ve already raised over $68,000 during the first three days of the campaign. The lights aren’t cheap—prices range from $495 to $795 per wheel depending at what stage of the campaign the product is ordered—but that’s a small price to pay to advance animation beyond the rectangular screen and share it throughout the city streets.

Marcus Kraft is an award-winning multidiscplinary studio located in Zurich, Switzerland. Their diverse portfolio ranges from editorial pieces that are bold and confrontational to posters that are more subtle and nuanced in their approach.

As of November 20, 2012 (that is, Midnight Eastern Time tonight) I am closed to queries. I will reopen to queries January 7, 2013.

If I already have your work, you should hear from me by January 7. (That's the point of taking the break, I have to catch up!)

One of the things about my job that is really important to me is saving vintage treasures from the landfill and being destroyed forever.
When i found these wonderful antique music sheets from the early 1900's in a box on the floor, all the way in the back of a dusty thrift shop, i got that rush feeling. Got to save these.
If they were kept around for more than 100 years, they should not end up thrown carelessly in a cardboard box.

Before there were mp3's, or even cd's or records, there was sheet music. Going back to when most people didn't even have a radio yet, musical entertainment came from playing the piano. Around the turn of the century, families gathered round and sang and played.

The early 1900's were the golden age for cover art illustrations on the sheet music booklets. Nowadays these make for eye-catching pieces of affordable art. For around $10 - $20 you can have an original 1920's flapper girl illustration on the wall.

Unfortunately, the golden age of sheet music art didn’t last long. It ended in the late 20's, very early 30s. Piano's were being replaced by radios and record players, and less sheet music was being sold. The sheets that were still printed, now had photographs of the performers or movie stars on the cover.

Want to have some antique sheet music art on your walls? The pieces shown in this post and a few more are available in the shop.

       Brooklyn, he finds, is: "rather embarrassingly civilised", and he's "too old for Manhattan" -- "It's just too noisy, too quick". So says Martin Amis, in a nice long Financial Times profile by Martin Dickson.
       He also: "don't mind saying a bit" about his work in progress. (Does he ever mind saying a bit, or a lot, about anything ?)
       It's: "set in an unnamed Auschwitz" -- and, well, at this point in his career one can no longer be sure about anything he writes, but maybe it holds some promise.

As Blue Sky’s Epic opens theatrically in the United States, we continue our week of featuring artists who worked on the film. Today we look at the work of storyboard artist Dan Shefelman.

Dan has worked as a story artist at Blue Sky in addition to doing boards for television series such as The Venture Bros., Robotomy, Celebrity Deathmatch, and Doug.

When drawing caricatures of celebrities and politicians, Dan distorts and renders faces with equal humor in digital paint, marker, pencils, ink and watercolors.

Dan previously worked as an editorial cartoonist for Newsday and continues to draw illustrations and cartoons that you can see on the pages of his website DanShefelman.com.

Above are a few of Dan’s story drawings from the Ice Age cave painting sequence. The finished version from the film can be seen below:

Here are a few myths about writing contests. 

http://blog.bookbaby.com/2013/04/the-myths-of-writing-contests/

A unique and adorable new way to learn counting from 1 to 10 and then backwards from 10 to 1. Soo comes into the kitchen complaining to her mother about her numerous boo-boos. Thankfully, mom has a way to take care of each one.

Soo’s Boo-Boos She’s Got 10! by Tilda Balsley is better than your average counting book. It’s clever. It’s creative. From a stiff elbow to crunched toes, from chapped lips to a dripping nose, and from a burned tongue to a nagging mosquito bite and more, Soo goes through her list of ailments. Her sympathetic mom then goes about tackling them one by one, finding the perfect cure for them all.

Kids will relate to this sweet and funny rhyming story. Kids see their moms as fixers of problems and Soo is no different. More than a simple counting book, readers will delight in witnessing Soo’s play for sympathy and learning how her mother solves each problem. The melodic prose is complemented by beautiful artwork from Shelagh McNicholas.

An all-around winner.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. This review contains my honest opinions, for which I have not been compensated in any way.

“I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”

…That was the last written word in medical science hand of doctors in this world from European country Psychiatrist Mental Health Patients, Toran Henry, seventeen years old teenage boy from, New Zealand.

Mental Health Hospital, Psychiatrist Doctorate Doctors never taken seriously patients request or his personal word into account nor do they understand the symptom Schizophrenia language. How critical symptoms he was suffering in silent’s without any picture even can drew in primary School black board whose beloved mother Maria Bradshaw found her son Toran Henry was finally suicide committed himself.

After hearing the news by mental health hospital crisis team said in silent “Oh my God, is there anything I can do?”

…It seen mental health Psychiatrist Doctors was not satisfied or happy to hear the bad news but to continue “is there anything I can do?”

Once again message from Toran Henry beyond graveyard;

“I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”—Toran Henry.

The only option remains open to mental health hospital doctor says author Abdul Haye Amin “is to bury   Author Abdul Haye Amin alive?”

When her beloved son was a life none of the medical team taken into account how serious he was suffering in real life? There is no medical explanation can be described those who critically suffer.

What is meant by “is there anything I can do?” there is no such word in Oxford Dictionary to explain the meaning of “is there anything I can do?” to comfort Toran mum day before yesterday was happy to be with her son Toran lack of medical negligence and ignorance in patients language not only Toran mum but entire communities seen cloud of darkness is fallen natural apple into their own head and in society instead of ‘Sir Isaac Newton’ head.

After his kind request to the medical board to the head of Mental Health Hospital, Psychiatrist Doctorate Doctors young lady lost her dear son. Then says “is there anything I can do?” what else they can do?

Unfortunately, medical Doctor was not kicked out of medical board in the street yet they seem to value non qualified medical professional in the field of mental health hospital remain to continue to do their duties. It is not called ‘manslaughter’ or murder. Committed by Psychiatrist Doctors. For his negligence of ‘Act of medical Law’ and profession fail to maintain his request.

Under the tablet ‘Seroxat’ mentioned,

 “Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual, such as excessive washing, which will often help to relieve the fear or worry created by the obsessional thought”—-(Tablet Seroxat leaflet information’s).

The tablet ‘Seroxat’ as mentioned,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” –

According to research by bilingual author Abdul Haye Amin in British and Bangladesh medical board inside the ward in hospital discovered none of the registered medical professionals ever carry out the tablet Seroxat instruction ,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” which is another word in oxford dictionary ‘ritual ‘ mean worship, in Bangla ‘Namaz’, in Arabic language mean Salat, in court of justice Act of worship none of the British medical board carry out the British prescribed tablet ‘Seroxat’ information instruction forget about what fourteen hundred years ago Prophet ‘Mo-Ham-Ma-Dur-Ra-Su-Lul-La”—(Saw), says to carry out compulsory ‘ritual’ five time a day. No alcohol drinks.

Unfortunately, author discovered ward round a male doctors with earring on his ears acting as young woman taking patients statements of their health doctor seem was not happy as a man making patient’s fool out of himself by using earring in his ear. What treatment is the male doctor going to give when himself is not happy as a by virtue of birth born male? There is no culture in revelation ever stated other than crime committed by.

Where Psychiatry Doctor fail to carry out a certain act. After kind request to the medical professional what lesson have we learned from Toran Henry?  And Doraj Miah in Tower Hamlet, London, United Kingdom, Front page (25/June/2003), “Victim of Black Magic Sex Killer” Local news, Tower Hamlet Recorder And many other similar patients story in local press?

…it is not criminal offense committed by medical professional your honour? Lose of life was not a playing dole or toys as most often seen orphan child play in the play ground or in the States hospital.

Where Toran Henry mum fail to get appropriate Justice from medical board or correct answer from. Our Government had given medical professional license to rule the patient’s life, what ever they wish to do? Hand of none –Believer medical Doctor Loss of young life was not crime of offenses?  By risking a young person life by administering dangerous Antidepressant Tablets to the patients.

Second person was victim of under the British N.H.S. medical Board negligence by medical Professional, in Tower Hamlet, London, United Kingdom, young Lady, School Teacher, lose her life under the ‘Schizophrenia’ patients Mr Doraj Miah hand after Reporting to the N.H.S.  Mental health Doctor regarding the patient’s circumstances but also medical professional ignored as Toran Henry. Again the Court of Justice blamed the Schizophrenia patients not medical Doctors.

 It is understood, Toran Henry is not ‘DEATH’ but Bilingual author Abdul Haye Amin is died,

 “Inna-Lila-He-O-Inna-He-Lia-He Ra-Je-Own”

Mean in English ‘Day of Judgement we shall meet again in the witness box, in presence of Judge or Magistrates to answer reasons for refusal kind request mental health patients request?

Acting beyond Toran Henry and similar victims beyond graveyard to answer by medical professional what was the reason to refuse the request when patients asked for “HELP”

…..To see death body in the street or above the sealing hanging them self?

You got the answer with tablet seroxat,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual”

Instructions to explain the nearest Court of Justice with packets of free N.H.S. condoms,   if it wasn’t murdered patients by medical professional? Other side of the Atlantic or oceans is Toran Mum is the witness. What do you call if it not ‘Murdered?’

What ever language medical professional speak with packets of condoms the court of Justice understand.

To refuse as follows;

(a), Tablet Seroxat Instruction,–“Compulsions are irresistible urges to carry out a certain act or ritual” –Did Medical Board carry out the ‘Act?’

…When patients requested in writing or in words for help he or she never get any?

(b). Under the Mental Health Act. What capacity Doctors your Government given to destroy other life instead of your own life hanging yourself to your own bedroom sealing instead of allowing patients to dies?

(F) Did tablet Instruction never mentioned to stop taking tablet should patients ever feel health circumstances different. By continue taking tablets Toran lose his control of senses the only answer he thought was best to hang himself next morning he will have breakfast with his mum. Doesn’t tablet instruction ever mention it affect patients Judgement and patients lose Immune system they have no power to judge themselves that when patient do or act such a cruel thing in society what is mean by ‘Judgment’?

 “I turned to you for help and you betrayed my trust. Now I have nowhere to turn”

…What is mean by medical language Judgement?

Doctors to go from one District to another or one country to another to give medical lecture or advice?

It doesn’t mean to those who medical council Doctors burn your own medical Qualification in the ovens? Or in Indian Gourmet Restaurant clay ovens before our environment face tragedy?

 Instead of two letters ‘MD’ before medical Doctors name; don’t add after medial Doctor Name too many alphabetical letters after your name?

 Toran approved Medical Doctors are officially became official ‘Apes and Monkey’ animal regret no human being life most of them bite worse than  ever who ever  they find worse than Indian Mosquitoes bites  that cause malaria the dangerous symptoms after breast  cancers.

…It is understood, the medical professional never tasted the ‘Indian Gourmet’ the hottest curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ in their entire life, some customer have extra hot, to weight how much pain and suffering patients suffered after taking the Antidepressants tablets the only reasons they taken life they thought they can get rid off the symptoms of pain in the morning and have fresh life again.

 Unfortunately, they misjudge the strength of  false knowledge in treatment driven into commitment of crime or offenses as first time those who mistakenly have the Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’  instead of ‘Chicken Tikka Masala’ in their life. The most victims are the members of families and friends not medical Doctors but Doctors dancing with free packet of N.H.S. condoms in hospital ward.

Not the price of  Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ but human life those who had ‘Chicken Pall’ or Antidepressants  first time in their life can weight the value of strength of ‘HOT’  temperature reach through the mind and straight to head, into human brain  immediately, affect soft tissue cause damage to the brain cell.

That blocks any circulation of human blood or [vain] [Holy Bible Sura; Iklas, Nas & Falak], make them totally confused  to concentrates into something and  make drowsy, as well as racing Idea of  thought of violence, crimes, drug, sex, etc from  their own head. That is too late after taking Antidepressants tablets or Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’.

 Those who  are medical Doctors  never taken any Indian foods kindly take  Indian Curry, ‘Chicken Pall’ and after just ‘Ten Minutes’ describe  the ‘TASTE’ to Restaurant  manager your own self who you are don’t run into toilet  In Restaurant. Or in the morning in your own bathroom. And doesn’t blame Indian ‘CHEF’ but your self for taking Antidepressant tablet I mean the Indian curry Chicken Pall.

Indian Gourmet

The Indian Gourmet management never said to have Indian curry ‘Chicken pall’ first times those ever entered gate of restaurant but will encourage sweet curry ‘Chicken Tikka Massala?’

 And Never, Never kiss your lover after taking tablet Antidepressants, I mean (Sorry every time I make mistake) the Chicken Pall it will burn his or her lips as Tsunami volcano there is no medication for his or her lips to cool it down or by rubbing the face as seen Russian Medical Doctors Rubbing the nine month old baby boy, body to remove the name of hottest Indian curry ‘Name’ of Almighty Lord, ‘Allah’

another name in Arabic the Lord Jesus Christ, (R.A), beloved father  out of ninety nine name from the skin but failure in treatment to remove the scare leaves to remain indefinitely for medical board to search for clue those who fool members of public or the patients under the spell of Lord Jesus Christ, (R.A), Stated worse than none believer.

Unless otherwise, our community will eventually face difficult situation and suffer under the hand of medical Doctors in real life. Therefore, Holy Bible said worse than none believer. Nearly every month someone somewhere commit crime of offences due to related tablet Antidepressants in this world.

Searching through the Holy Bible Quran stated;

“O our people, hearken to the one who invites (You) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Chastisement Grievous”—Holy Bible Quran: Sura: Al Ahaqaf: 46: 31).

John Manders was educated at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and later took courses at the School of Visual Arts and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where he studied children’s illustration, animation, and life drawing. His interests include puppetry (he studied that at Syracuse University College) and trying to speak Italian.

John’s  work is featured in over 30 children’s books and gazillions of children’s magazines. He’s a member of the Society of Illustrators, the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, and is a founding member of the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators. John was also their first president.

A pet lover, John organized the successful Bow Wow Meow art auction that benefited the Animal Rescue League of Western PA, and the PSI scholarship fund. He also curated Illustration:  The Process, an educational exhibit of fourteen illustrators and their working methods.

John’s incredible work has been exhibited at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh gallery, the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, and he was honored in the 25-year retrospective of Cricket magazine covers, held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. That year, he was also a participant at the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, Italy. In May, 2006 he was named Outstanding Illustrator/Author by the Pennsylvania School Librarian’s Association.

This John’s latest book. You can see his process in the following interior spreads in the book.

This is a glimpse of John’s work-in-progress shots from Finnegan and Fox: The Ten-Foot Cop. This scene shows a crowded sidewalk next to a construction site. The lady next to Finnegan is upset because a mouse ran over her foot!

This is thumbnail sketch (very small).,and final painting. With crowd scenes, I’m always looking for people to include in the scene. It’s hard to make up all those characters.

This is the rough sketch.

Tight sketch (half-size of the painting). Using 2B pencils on layout bond paper, he transfers the drawings onto Arches 300 lb hot press watercolor paper.

Next is an ‘underpainting’ in neutral tones with Winsor & Newton Designers gouache.

The color is painted on top of that.  Starting to lay in gouache layers.

Painting in progress. More details added.

Continuing to add layers of detail. Prismacolor pencils are used for highlights and    accents.

Getting a closer look below.

Final below.

The next scene shows New York’s Finest organizing a search for a lost little girl. My cousin’s son is a NYC cop, so naturally I had to put him in this picture or be kicked out of the family. You can see him at the bottom of the page. And here is a photo that includes his loving parents. As always: thumbnail sketch, tight pencil sketch, work-in-progress and final painting. Sorry the final looks so washed out. It looks much better in the book!

Thumbnail Sketch.

Refined larger sketch.

John always does research. You can see photos of New York City police cars taped to the side for reference.

The policeman in the picture is John’s cousin’s son. Family comes in handy sometimes.

TIP FROM JOHN:

Masking fluid (or liquid frisket) is a pretty handy item to have around. Many of the scenes in Jack and the Giant Barbecue have characters in front of the big, wild & woolly American West. I like to spread out and paint that kind of backdrop with equally wild brush strokes. That’s a whole lot easier if you don’t have to carefully paint around the characters.

Masking fluid is kind of a rubbery syrup that you paint on your paper wherever you don’t want watercolor. It dries to a water-repellant film. As you see in the pictures, I masked out Jack and his faithful pony (also using bits of masking tape) so I could slather on the paint with abandon. When I finished painting the background, I peeled away the mask using a rubber cement pickup.

Use the link below to see John’s technique.

Due to a mix up, I will be posting John’s interview questions later and will announce it when I post it, so you don’t miss anything.

John’s picture book Jack and the Giant Barbecue has been dominated by National Cartoonist Society for the Reuben Award. The winners will be announced Saturday, May 25th at the Reuben Awards dinner in Pittsburgh, PA.

Check back to find out if John wins? Is he in the poster? We’ll find out when John sends me the answers to the interview questions.

Hope you enjoyed getting to see John’s illustrations. I will post the interview questions as soon as I receive them from John.

You can visit John at www.johnmanders.com And as always I love when you leave a comment. Hope  you still will even with the glitch with the interview questions.

Talk tomorrow,

Blue Sky’s eighth feature film, Epic, directed by Chris Wedge and based on a book by children’s author Bill Joyce, opens in the United States today. Reception to the film has been fair to middling. The film currently owns a 63% critics’ rating and 74% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Stephen Holden in the NY Times sums up the majority viewpoint: “As beautiful as it is, Epic is fatally lacking in visceral momentum and dramatic edge.”
