This is going way too quickly!
Today there were more terrific lectures - one by Jon Foster (who is witty and clever in addition to being wicked-talented. Some of those paint strokes on pieces projected up on the wall practically brought tears to my eyes).
When not eating or listening/looking at awesome art, the studios are a flurry of furious painting activity. Companionable conversation, comparing notes, and pizza runs at midnight. There are a lot of fabulous looking pieces coming into being.
(For instance, this one, by Bobby Brown).
The faculty continues to critique, sometimes actually demonstrating on your piece. Scott Fischer and Greg
Manchess tag-team critique a great deal (hilarity many times
ensues). I cracked up watching them paint 'in stereo' on this particular piece.
As for mine, I got all my basic color in and have started resolving those there monkeys!
Only one more day to paint. :-(
Have you ever stumbled on something really cool and you can't believe you had never heard of it before? Something that seems tailored made for your interests? Sidebar Nation is like that for me.
Sidebar Nation is a website podcast all about art and comic books . It's two friends living in Atlanta Georgia, Swain hunt and Dwight Clark who share a love of this stuff and both have amazing taste. I had a short correspondence with Swain and he seemed like the nicest guy on the planet.
The best thing about Sidebar is the interviews they've had Jon Foster , Stephan Martiniere , James Jean and many more. These guys are amazing interviewers, they ask the exact questions you want to hear asked even if you didn't know you wanted hear it. And the site is lots of fun.
Over at Tor.com i started a thread on the community section of the site. It's a really interesting discussion on what you want in your book cover art. I know that Irene Gallo has had a peek at it(thanks Tara!) as she posted a link to it from her blog(www.igallo.blogspot.com) so this is a nice forum to speak to book art issues with the best people in the field.
Go to www.tor.com and click on "community" and find conversations and you'll find the conversation going on there. Or, simply click on this posts title.

Oh, I'm *really* liking the coloring on this one. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece!
I have to confess, fantasy painting isn't my 'thing' but your latest piece is looking fantastic!
your Oz piece is coming along nicely :) nice choice of colours, nice gradients on the monkey wings.
I like the coloring too.
How are you holding up with the long hours? Thinking of you. And missing talking to you.
Great colours. I really like the definition of the witch's nose, cheeks and chin.
Also, the monkeys eyes are perfectly spooky:)
There is so much concentrated intensity in these photos! Fun to look at. Your piece is looking good, Tara.
This is so exciting! I'm loving it. Your witch and her posse are looking FANTASTIC! Thanks for sharing!
I am enjoying every one of your posts! Love Scott and Greg painting together. . .totally awesome. Like two pianist playing flawlessly together.
Your painting is turning out great. The witch is perfect.
Thanks for sharing!
i really like the monkeys!
Toby.
Those monkeys sure have attitude....
Love the piece! The color is wonderful and it really has depth to it. I think your steampunk is good! How fun to be watching and learning too!
