1. “TRON: Uprising” Art Director Alberto Mielgo Will Exhibit in Downtown L.A.

Next month, Giant Robot will host a solo exhibition of work by the Spanish-born artist Alberto Mielgo, best known in the U.S. for his art direction on the Disney TV series TRON: Uprising.

The show will take place at Giant Robot’s GR Works storefront in downtown Los Angeles (114 W. 4th St. Los Angeles, CA 90013). There will be an opening reception on Monday, November 5, from 6-10pm, and the show will run for one week. Titled Albert Mielgo: Solo, it documents the past three years of Mielgo’s output, and will focus on his models and their working process together. “I think it’s fair to talk about them that people know how good they are,” Mielgo said. “How much they mean to me, and why I decided to paint them.”

Mielgo has exhibited his paintings in Spain and the UK. In 2010, Mielgo was a subject of the short film documentary Innocent In A Way (NSFW) by French filmmaker Alexis Wanneroy. Mielgo started his career as an animator on features like Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, El Cid: The Legend and Jester Till. In addition to that, he storyboarded on Corpse Bride, created conceptual art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and drew the backgrounds for the intro of the videogame Beatles Rock Band.

2. Too much Rail Time


In order to pay for the new Mac I had to work extra hours at the art store. This means lots and lots of travel time. I live an hour away from the store by street car. And this means that I've sketching a lot on my iPod with the Brushes app. So I have a small collection of doodles to post. I still love this app, so great for sketching. Now that it has layers it is even deeper and a compulsive way to draw.

In the NEWS I emailed all my editors before work yesterday and got mostly positive results. Oni and OnSpec are both really happy with the work I've sent them which is a great ego boost. Today I'm scanning the Maddy kettle thumbnails for Top shelf and working on completing The Situation for Tor. Can't wait to be throiugh this run of full time day job shifts, I'm feeling really burned out. It doesn't help that it's so hot here. My computer screen is wilting.

Also, I'm looking into getting a Cintiq tablet. I'm so excited about this....

3. At The St. Laurence Market






Julie's Dad took me to the St. Laurence Market this morning. So much stuff there, it really blows away the markets in Nova Scotia. I bought a book about Sumi-e painting and a BLT. Afterwards we toured around town and I bought copies of the new Giant Robot and Juxtapose. Finally we went to a Running Room clearance center where I bought a watch/stopwatch/heart rate monitor thing that I am currently trying to figure out. I thought the city looked wonderful in the rain, like a painting.
