Carbon County Cultural Project’s Storytelling Workshop in Words and Pictures is a week long event for figurative artists interested in storytelling, taking place in Jim Thorpe, PA on June 22 - 28, 2009. Attending artists will find themselves in a 19th century town nestled in among mountains that have served as inspiration for works ranging from the writing and illustrations of Audubon to contemporary graphic novels. Surrounded by landscape thick with legacy, artists will have the opportunity to work with legendary painters and illustrators through a series of visual storytelling exercises.”
You can read more about this workshop and download an application here.
Joining forces to teach this intense weeklong workshop will include Marshall Arisman, Anthony Freda, John Mattos and resident artist Victor Stabin. Together, these accomplished artists and educators represent over a hundred and thirty years of image making experience and are prepared to share their unique insights into visual storytelling with you.
Writing about visual work is often a key to its success. Jim Thorpe, formerly known as Mauch Chunk, provides a setting rich with historic and visual inspirations. Artists will make observations of the town in the form of a written travel journal. This personal journal will provide the foundation for pictorial concepts. The inherently personal act of writing will inform the picture making, enabling artists to get closer to developing a more personal approach.

As I mentioned before, I did another study in acrylics that I'm sharing here.

Libraries Connect Communities: Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study 2006-2007 Report is out today. I haven’t looked at it yet and was waiting for it to hit the website. The URL for the actual 6MB file is here
http://www.ala.org/ala/ors/publiclibraryfundingtechnologyaccessstudy/finalreport.pdf
If you bookmark the page the document is linked to it will appear as “ALA | 2006-2007 Report” on your bookmark list. While I continue to make the point that tech/web savviness is going to be an important part of being useful relevant libraries in the 21st century, we still put out documents intended to be widely disseminated in PDF format, not HTML This assures that it will be shallowly linked and quoted, if at all, and those links will be hard to track and learn from.
The one news article that I’ve read referring to this report — an AP wire article that I read in the Las Vegas Sun — “Despite Demand, Libraries Won’t Add PCs” is a weird mess of statistics and odd conclusions (won’t add PCs? how about can’t add PCs. Who did this study again? Oh right The Gates Foundation… gee I wonder what their solution to this involves, it better not be Vista. update: the geeky artist librarian agrees). It discusses how popular technology in libraries has become, but also what the limitations are that libraries are facing. The whole article is tailor-made to support a roll-out of the Gates Foundation’s next round of funding which I’m sure will nicely sew up all the loose ends that this article pinpoints.
Except for the fact that more computers means, or should mean, more staff and more space, neither of which get a lot of lip service from technology grantors who would rather give away last year’s software for a hefty tax writeoff. You’ll note that this article says that libraries are cutting staffing so they can afford more computers. I assume then that this is supposed to imply that getting more computers means more freed up money to hire staff. However, we all know, at least out here in rural noplace, that funding remains fixed as does space and what we could really use is an operating system that doesn’t need a 20MB security update every few weeks and a browser that isn’t out-of-the-box vulnerable to a huge range of exploits that leave our computers barely working. The good news is that we can get both of those things and we don’t have to wait for someone to loan us money to do it. Sorry for the slightly bitter tone, I’ll chime in with some more facts from this study once I’ve gotten a chance to read it.

Getting back to the basic technical skill of drawing feels so good. The way I like relax is to sketch and my favorite place to sketch people is at Starbucks, sipping a yummy hot latte, mmmmm. This was a quick 5 minute sketch to which I added some color as I loved the red sweatshirt she was wearing from Aeropostale. I love their t-shirts too, especially this Pink Shoulder Script Baby T. They're nice and long and go great with low riding jeans. What do you do to relax?
