Cartoonfox : where is your campus going to be ?

hey warhead, my campus is in harrow, right next to northwick park. why?




peace :7up:

[WARHEAD]

[QUOTE=cartoonfox]hey warhead, my campus is in harrow, right next to northwick park. why?






I was going to suggest that if you are looking for a place to live in London, I don't know if many people were suggesting locations, but Battersea might be a bit of a bum to get to your campus. Somewhere between Chiswick and Hammersmith might be easier especially for tubes; you get from there to Baker Street and get on the metropolitan line easier...just a suggestion !

[cartoonfox]

hey thanks. i dont really mind where i live, as long as i can fins somewhere ^-^
i will probably get a car soon after i move anyway





peace :7up:

[RES]

Here we go again. The bombers have started again on the London transport, looks like it not as bad this time. Hope no one court up in it.

[asoir]

Yeah, apparently only one injured and none dead.

[koshime]

just checkign in. all toes and limbs intact....

[Eriboss]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4706787.stm

I just heard an eyewitness on the news giving his account of what happened...
pretty fucked up.

[Midnight]

I hope the lid can be put on this thing pretty quickly. I somehow doubt it, though.

[peterhurman]

just thought id introduce my self. ive been around ca a while but for some reason never got around to posting in here.

about me. im 23, i turn 24 in a couple of weeks - getting old. im from sheffield. you may remember me from the last couple of uk thunderdomes. hows everbodys last man standing tdome pics coming along. ive got prostate sunrise.

[Dirty C]

Yeah, hey Love.

Sunrise may seem like a nasty opponent to have, but when I met him in SF, he was actually 0 for 5 thunderdomes. Hell, even I beat him. So your best bet is to hope that he doesn't get a topic which really suits his style, like, oh, demons or something.

Oh.

Hello all, after a questioning/poking from summer pudding and then speaking to Molly i'm going to say WOO workshop, i'm free most of the time, but not the august weekend 12th-15th.

Workshop workshop workshop.

-B-

[koshime]

It woudl be great to have a london mini workshop. Due to transport problems, I am unable to attend the Belgium workshop, but woudl love to have one here..Anytime in August or october be nice....

[IllustriousHarry]

:teeth: UK workshop!

exciting!, well the earlier I knew the the dates the better,because then I could get the £1 coach down.

Maybe I could ask them to cryogenically freeze me for the aeon of a journey.

As for activities. How about something like the city project, or a mini comicbook, but just a one off. Or we could maybe organise like a speed thunderdome. Amongst UKers or even against another country. Baisically anything with a little challenge to focus on and a pretty picture at the end

I liked the sound in the belgium workshop of doing a trip somewhere, for future workshops maybe. I want to SIEGE a castle or Commandeer a Galleon!!

[Dirty C]

As for activities. How about something like the city project,

That's a fucking *excellent* idea. grabbing a bunch of life drawings in the daytime, then using those to create character concepts based on an overall theme is a wicked way to organise things.

What's everyone think about this kind of idea? Would work really well if we had a male model and a female model - if we managed two days, then this would be great.

[koshime]

you medelling?

[Molly]

RIGHT-EE-OOO

I have been pondering this concept fo AGES and all I need for you UK folk, is attendance, and if ANY of you pros can contribute to demos...

I have the space. I can get models. I can get a nice expensive-looking projector for the demos; all i want is volunteers for digital demos, providing your own laptops etc, and attendance from folks for the day life drawing classes I'll be running.

Gent, Belgium is up running, gone. And for us UK folk to not have a meet ASAP, would, well, be silly! Theres plenty of you out there we still need to meet, and it would be a shame to not use the facitities I have access to!

I want commitment from you guys, and a lil time set aside for something you dont get to do everyday. If you have loved ones who object then bring them along; if you have loved ones who dont understand- explain to them , and then bring them along...;)

RIGHT - I'd like to organize a day session life drawing, from 10am till 5pm then an evening of digi-demos from 6.30pm till 9-9.30pm of character, environment, vehicle drawing etc...so ALL involved in the UK group can see and hear what the rest get up to, learn, converse and inspire from each other...

The other is a whole days life drawing, then evening drinks drawing sketching getting to know one another, THEN digital demos the next day in environments, characters, vehicles and then maybe a lil Thunderdome in the afternoon/evening to finish off.

In My Opinion - we should have this meet. I know PLENTY of you guys have family commitments, but in order for us all to keep up with the Jones; keep in the loop - WHATEVER... a UK meet like this is a must, I will not ask this again of you all untill next year, but if we get this done BEFORE the Prague workshop at least those knowing they will NOT be going can have some kind of contact with fellow CA.orgians.

Now, I do need to know ASAP:
WHO will attend?
WHO would like to demonstrate? I need a character person, environment person, vehicles etc

There are hostels in the London Bridge Area (south of the River, plenty o'pubs etc)

SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

PM me or reply to this thread...LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!

MOLLY!

[Badger]

YES *resounds*

[IllustriousHarry]

Molly, your motivation astounds me, exactly whats needed.

Two days sounds right,
Its always felt like the day finishes JUST as its getting good.

I can't wait :teeth:

[Molly]

...(demonstrators I'd like to er..demonstrate..Matt Dixon, Summer Pudding, Sketchling, Duddlebug, Poshspice-ziggazigaaaah - all you pro fuckers YOU-KNOW-WHO-YOU-ARE...)

There is a few resident artist where i work who would love - no, NEED to see the extent Photoshop & Painter can go to..they need to be ed-u-ca-ted...

Luv ya

[Molly]

*BUMP*

I will get dates to you in the morrow..if u git me

Mx

[sketchling]

YES!!! can you hear that echo??? should I try harder? :ay: :ae: :as: ... :)

and as im currently writing this on my spanky new ...motion LE1600 tablet pc (http://www.motioncomputing.com). im keen to do a demo! I can do environs, vehicles(sorta) and anything photoshop really... hmmmm. photoshop... :rolleyes:

Glad yer keepin keen molly....sorry iv been distracted. not been adding much to the forums of late. all this life stuff getting in the way!

:) k

[Dirty C]

Yup! But I'm a little confused - are you suggesting either the one day or the two day? Or both? I'm up for two days if it's an option.

[Molly]

OK FOLKS

I'm thinking the weekend of the 20th & 21st of Aug

I'd like the 2 days, as this will give us all time to do actual work, ya know?

For the Saturday - life drawing from 11.00am - 5pm (gestures, then one or 2 long poses) break, then have some digital demos in the evening. There is a medium sized common room with a nice large white wall to bounce images off...
Sunday we could start with some digital demos, environments and vehicles etc, and have a mini-thunderdome in the afternoon.

This is what I'd like to happen, if folks here from our thread, would be kind enough to demonstrate their skills to us, regarding what they do in their daily lives, would be fantastic.(PLEASE, PLEASE, PAA-LEEEASE)

If you are up fo it, please PM me.

Hey Molly

This sounds great, suprised no one ever thought of getting something like this going sooner(or have they?). I run regular life drawing classes and teach a number of worshops anually in digital and traditional painting and drawing. I know how hard it is to organize these events but if any one can you surely can and its a great opportunity to get together for some serious creative inspiration and group learning. Good luck with it all and it would be great to see some photos of the event and results of the demo's and workshops. Kudos Molly.

Yeah, there was one last year. Only one day though, and didn't progress beyond life drawing (well, it did, but only to the pub :))

And, aaah.... given that you're so expeeeerienced and all.. any chance we can lean on you to spread some of that know-how our way?

[acuna_read]

Assuming I get time off work and dont get blown up on the way I may pop along for some life drawing.

Got to start from scratch with drawing again as ive forgotten it all. With 'life' stuff. That's a load of bollocks :nohope: .

[trev]

Ide be well up for that molly! =) Count me in!

[Hybridstar]

sure thing dirty c, youre a bit of a talent yourself sir. How about some tutorials in the uk thread from anyone who has something to say. Between us all it would be a resource of epic proportions. Thoughts?

[Midnight]

Attending a meet's not an option for me, but I'd welcome any tutorials to devour...

Mid.

[WARHEAD]

Molly, this sounds great !

Never been to a workshop before ! haven't studied art either ! (I did engineering) :nohope: Stoopid question I know; what do you guys actually do in a workshop ??

[Molly]

Glad to see some peeps are up fo this...

Hybridstar - do you have a thread here on CA.org? An official website I can check out?

Sketchling - we must talk. I'd like you to give a demo if poss on environments, vehicles and Photoshop techniques...please PM me any ideas an thoughts...

[Hybridstar]

im re assembling a web site. just taught myself xhtml and css. alot to digest on top of all the other manuals. As for a thread, will be starting a sketch book thread soon. My first post is gonna be for the awesome t-dome that im frantically working on at the mo.

[koshime]

am working aug 20h but am off sun 21st.
Where is the venue/crash pad? is it drivable to?

[Aly Fell]

Ooh! Golly this sounds interesting... I'll be honest and say it could be tricky fitting it into my personal time as it's my birthday weekend and stuff tends to happen around then... but hmmmm...

BTW, I was down in Landan this weekend and went to the Frida Kahlo exhibition at Tate Modern and can thoroughly recommend it. Incredible woman with an increbible life. It was £10 but well worth it....

[Summer Pudding]

I might be able to do a digi-group enviro sesh. When did you plan to do this? I've got next week (12th - 21st August) as holiday with Nicky and the kids, and 26th August - 4th September too. Any weekday after or either side of these dates should be ok for me. I'll dust off my smock and mahl stick. ;)

A quick word of warning to anyone that thinks doing a 12 hour shift rota of 4 days on 4 days off with night shifts is a good idea. Dont, it's a terrible idea. It is fucking boring and extremely tiring! :$

And you have to work the weekends. :D

[Crane]

woo, not had a comp for a while.
theres a meet thingy goin on?
i'm up for it as long as i don't have to go on tube or bus, i've asked a friend who i found out likes drawing, weird, but i asked him if he wanted to come so. i've not got the internet so

MOLLY i was wondering when you have time call me and feed me some info on this? if ya can it would be great, sorry i don't have your number to call. i'm staying down my nans while dad bogs of to france for a month, fone number is 01634 234939, can catch me any time after 7.

sorry for bugging ya, just i can't really get to a comp alot, took me ages to get on this one. thanks alot. :yayca:

[Badger]

Anyone else get the feeling that Uk illustration courses are much more of a mixed bag than the US lot, they all seem to go for their big 2. Where as i found that half the UK courses were recommended by diff people. So i had to go look round everywhere, which probably was better to be honest. You find out much more that way.
Anyway, just thinking out loud... and not spell checking.
Molly/Tekura Hope arranging is goign well, Progy and Pupil way well make it, Bronco will prob if he's about, i haven't spoken to nature boy this week. I'll go find him. But i guess possibles isn't what you want. I'll try get some confirmations.
Hope you are all well.

[Molly]

Hello again Folks,

I can confirm, that 20th - 21st will be the dates for our next meet.

I have had confirmation on space, so were all good.

I will post again regarding activities during both days, and any hostels in the area for those who want to stay over night.

Ps molly, whats this gonna cost, do ya know? there anyways, but its always good to know!

[Dirty C]

It was purely down to the matches, wasn't it? I didn't think there was an idea about an overal winner. In which case, I lost :(

I'm off to the big chill. Someone text me if mine and stokes get posted so i know how bad i got wasted.

[Summer Pudding]

Individuals? There's no room for individuals in the Corps DC.

Yeah, I was a bit tardy posting the outcome of that tussle. We won, and at a glance, I'd say resoundingly.

Hi Molly! And all you cockney fellas! I'm flattered... and i think it's a great idea... BUT it's practically impossible for me to get to London at the moment... sorry.

With a three month old baby everything's that bit more tricky...

My sister and her husband (and my partner's sister) live in London so we do visit several times a year... we were actually down about a month ago for a family christening... so maybe if you can give a BiG amount of notice for the next one i can try and combine a 'meet' with a family visit in the autumn! I can't make any promises though...

With me and posh living 100 yards from each other, MAybe a meet in Beautiful Buxton could be in order! Haha! :P

Anyway... good luck with this meet!! Have fun! And take some photos!

[IllustriousHarry]

With me and posh living 100 yards from each other, MAybe a meet in Beautiful Buxton could be in order! Haha!

Hooray ! meet!, and come see your famous buxton water. Maybe its not just volvic that has "something in the water", then thats the big secret eh, THE ART is in the WATER

Seriously though, buxton sounds like a plan for the future.

[Aly Fell]

I sit outside Jonnys house at night and make mewling noises till he wakes up and throws a shoe at me. If anyone else fancies doing this sometime, a meet in Buxton would be great! :)

[trev]

Do you have any preference of shoe? :)

[young paddy1]

I prefer boots more stopping power.

A Buxton meet would do for me too. :D

[Badger]

I'd be up for that road trip one day! Yeaaahhh! Buxton WOOO
um...
Thunderdomes? and general feeling about their entries. Gotta say i've seen some spiffing art coming from the UK guys, i wonder how many will survive...?
Mmm Sunday. Where is my over sized paper and cream tea?
-Badger-

[Aly Fell]

Do you have any preference of shoe? :)
Boots are good too... I have a huge collection now of single items of footwear, all with jOnnY dUdDLeBug scrawled in crayon on the bottom, next to a big L or R.

[Midnight]

Anyone mind if I have a vent about the LMS thing?

I talked to my opponent, got everything sorted, finished my piece, watched as the battles came online... and found he hadn't even showed up.

I *hate* it when people do things like that - you throw your hat in, you give no indication of having\wanting to pull out so someone else can step in, and you don't even turn anything in! Ugh... Rant over.

Buxton? Heh - I used to live close by. Still, it's something that just *might* be reachable. It'd be great to meet you guys!

[Molly]

Hello Folks,

I'd like to run some details by you all:

The meet on Saturday will start at 10.30am - till 6.00pm
I have a model for Saturday, he's very good, perfect for gestures, good physique. He'll bring some funky clothing (big boots, etc) and I'll bring some props to make the drawing more interesting (I have a sword at home and can get a wooden samurai sword no probs...) I am going to ask him if he can get a female model too;
I'd like to start with various timed gesture drawings, quick poses, then various long poses afterwards. In the evening, we can set up the cpu and projector, and watch a demo and sketch etc. Work/drawings can be kept at the Academy; I'd like us all to put them up on the wall to view. If you are not too confident with your life studies, please please please do not hesitate to ask ANYONE in the group for help and advice. The purpose of the weekend is to learn from eachother, and get to know ppl too.

For Sunday 21st Aug 11am - 5pm I'd like us all to look at our drawings, and spend the day drawing from imagination, using drawings from Sat as reference, any books you have (please bring along) for concept inspiration, and create your own character from it. Digital demos will be given through the day, so we can ask questions, get advice etc etc.

PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOPS IF YOU HAVE THEM.
IF you have toned paper, A1 size, bring that too.
I will be providing A1 white paper for us all, so please do not worry bout that;
Please bring your own pens, pencils, charcoal etc, as the Academy only provides for their Full Time students.

The cost for the weekend, is £15 EACH.
Please PM me with saying:
" I <state your name> confirm my attendance to the UK meet 20-21st Aug 2005!"

Love ya Mollyx

[blog]

Can you arrive on the saturday and not the sunday? This sounds awesome, nice going Molly!

[trev]

15 squids a bargain :)

I would offer to bring along a replica gun for the purposes of a prop buuuut the cops might get the wrong idea if they search my bag :[

Anyway pencils will be all Im packing, cya there!

[Dirty C]

Can you arrive on the saturday and not the sunday? This sounds awesome, nice going Molly!

I imagine that if I were Molly I'd be forced to say that the cost would still be the same - due to materials and space constraints.

I'd then probably be forced to get down to the serious business of my temporary girl-being. Pillow fight, girls?

[Molly]

..you can arrive on the Saturday and NOT the Sunday, but the costs stands luvvies:)

Please PM me to confirm you are attending....

I would hypothetically like to meet up, unfortunately I am agoraphobic.
It is nice to see people on a forum meet up though, have fun.

****************DEMO IDEAS FOR SAT/SUN******************

At the moment I am planning to arrive and completly wing it, BUT, is there anything anyone wants me to do? There are two sides to a demo I guess... the artistic part of making a successful painting and the technical side of making photoshop into an extension of your hands.... I can adlib the first bit, but if anyones gonna get anything useful out of the second, they need to ask questions!!!! Ill just not think to tell people what im doing if im not asked!

I have found in the past that people say 'oh, there was this thing in photoshop i wanted to learn how to do... but I cant remember what it was..... um. yeah...' Which doesnt help anyone... SO, if people can think of questions or things they want to know about photoshop BEFORE the workshop, and WRITE THEM DOWN then maybe I can help!

What kind of things would people most like me to demo as well? Lots of quick paintings of landscapes, environs etc? or one more finished type of thing? Probably going for a combo of those at da mo.

Anyways, I go back to this work thing now.. :D

[fishw]

hey hey, seems like there's a lot going on in this thread. Don't know why i haven't ventured in here before (perhaps it's the intimidating 39 pages!). anyhoo, i'm a london fella so i guess i belong here. I wish i'd looked at this thread before i booked up that weekend of the 20th.

I recently (a few weeks ago) did a week of life drawing at Heatherly's which was absolutely fantastic and highly recommendable. i've no idea what the other stuff they do is like but this week was great. here's a few examples (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48532) of the drawings i did in that week.

does anybody know if lavender hill studios is really new? (i have a friend who spent a year in florence at Cecil studios and said she was going to attend a school being set up by some previous cecil people)

[Porgy]

Ok ok ok I'm finally getting off my arss and gonna introduce myself to you guys :nohope: I'm so very sry i've been a member since May this year I think and this is first time i've introduced myself properly to people on this site, most rude of me I know :dur:.
I'm Porgy by the way or George to use my real indenity. I'm 18 and I live near Oxford in a place called Haddenham very near to where the badger lives, him and pupil r the only people I kinda know on this site cos they went to the same school as me.
This is a good thread (and website in general of course) by the way, it's good to see local artists chin wagging.
Anyhows there I've finally said hello.
I hope to squeeze my way into your little uk crew if that's ok?

(Man I'm such a lazy git!)

[WARHEAD]

Hi Guys,

First of all just wanted to say thanks to Molly for the life drawing class on Saturday, it was my first ever life class and a great help ! :bashful: you can see my efforts in my sketchbook. :nohope:

Sketchling; wouldn't mind seeing a demo on the technical side of photoshop and seeing some enviro stuff - especially on how to 'set up' photoshop before actually doing any drawing. Look forward to Saturday ! :rendered:

Hi Porgy, welcome to CA.....

[sketchling]

I could not resist a dailysketch entry today... they had THE NEXT TAMAGOCHI STYLE FAD as a topic. I just thought the mac monkeys here might chuckle at this: CUTEnFUZZY (http://www.sketchling.com/artwork/2005/new_cute_fad.jpg)

hmmm.... ill have to go through making some custom brushes then...and a few other bits and bobs \i like to do.... cool. will think on it.

[Dirty C]

Hey Porgy, glad to have you on board. You gonna be able to make it this weekend?

[IllustriousHarry]

haha like the DSG sketchling.

almost missed the reflections of the people in the room in those glossy glossy eyes, very nice.

In the demo It'd be cool to have a quick explanation of one of these effects maybe, I've seem some of your chrome is very nice too.

From another meet i've always remebered a suggestion you made in using lines to show the form of an object (the drawing was of someones robot).
More stuff like this would be great.

Hey there porgy and fishw, pull up a pencil and make yourself at home.

[Molly]

If you want to attend the meet this weekend please send me a PM - even tho you have mentioned it in this here thread - I'd be ever so greatful, if-you-send-a-PM-to me.

I'd really like to NOT have to post this message again. I need to know for definate how many will be turning up; also, I need to consider the space and peoples interests.

Sunday
- will be more geared towards imaginative drawing, using the sketchs/drawings from Sat session for ref/inspiration. Please bring ANY books, etc that may help you or be of interest to the group; so if ya have concept art books for films/games etc bring em along...the afternoon we'll have some digital demos from some peeps whilst we sketch. Any Q's you have regarding digital stuff, please bring them along too. There are a few ppl very proficient in PS & Painter so....ask k?....

I have a 125 sheets of 140gsm college cartridge paper for drawing on. Any thicker/other paper you wish/have preference to use, please bring with you.
I have some charcoal/putty rubbers too, but you can bring your own prefered materials. (it would help)
Bring sketchbooks with you too; if there is not much room to use an easel whilst gesture drawin' use ur SkBk; bring laptops if you want too;

There are a few pubs & cafes in the area; Borough Market is very close by and do nuff good food; fruit, meat; cheese, etc etc; we'll be close to the Tate Modern too sooo....

Any other questions, please fire away...

I've met Scott Pohlschmidt of the Lavender Hill Studios, painted with him on several occasions. He's an ex Charles Cecil student in Florence Italy and is a very good painter. The atelier looks good, very traditional grounding but its good to have something of its kind in London. I'd recommend em. :teeth:

[Molly]

..that and Heatherleys too..;)

Mx

[Hybridstar]

Oh and by the way Molly, your schedule looks damned good. Sounds like a great weekend, ive no doubt you'll fill it up and if not what a wasted opportunity. Good luck. ;)

[Porgy]

I'm in bitches!! as long as i don't get culled to stop the spread of bovine TB.

Photos in the 'what does everyone look like thread'.... they are really me. HA HA HA.

*ahem*

Hello Porgy how u guys thinking of getting in?
Wellcome! fishw I for one have no idea about lavender hill studios.

How is everyone doing by the way?
Molly hope your arm gets better.

Erm the train or the Oxford tube bus thang, why do ya wanna tag along?

[Badger]

Train is fooked atm man, cave in down at gerards, could do oxford tube or i'll drive us to hillingdon and bitch through on the metropoliton line.

If you are coming, confirm with Molly, or she has to cancel.

-B-

[Porgy]

That's lame about the train. Well thats most sweet of you Badger, but I've just spoken to pupil on the phone and my mum has agreed to take us in early to Oxford for the Tube. but cheers for the offer most kind ;). Well I hope to see you there then i've just PM'd Molly to let her know we can go. Prey we get the numbers she needs.

[fishw]

[Hybridstar]

Looks like a blast so far, and youve got another whole day of creative jubbly joy!!! The pics are a good record, would be good to see more. Maybe start a thread, they act as great publicity for the next event. I gotta make the next one for sure. Nice one guys. :cheerleader:

[sleep]

Badger, Cas, Dirty_C, Harry, MarkDN, Porgy, Pupil, Sketchling, Summer Pudding, Trev, WARHEAD and Wookie (and Ed, tho he didnt turn up on Sun;)
aaand Dwayne our funky, punky model!

I hope you guys had a good time and enjoyed the drawing and demos...

I for sure would like to do this again, somewhere in the middle of England, so more peeps can attend etc etc. I'm sure I'll do one again at the Academy, so no worries there....

THANKS to: Sketchling, DC and Summer Pudding for giving us the Painter/Photoshop demos. No doubt we have all come away inspired and rarring to go!

cheers fellas!

Mollyx

[Eriboss]

Eri

[sketchling]

:) Ello all!
Thanks molly for organising all this. I came away inspired and refreshed...Was a great trial run for the tablet too!!!! It was really good to meet you all again and a pleasure to do the demo. hop you all learned somjething useful amongst the random ramblings. If anyone ever needs any ps advice, send me a pm. :)

Koshime: Yeah man, I missed ya at the meet :( when those exams have gone we must meet up and paint... you will love this tablet! itsa so much fun.

speaking of which, here is a link to a sub-gallery thing with the artrage_sketches and ps lifedrawing from this weeekends sessions.... there is also a page of molly-doodles, an epic 5-minute beast of doom from pud(unsigned...) and a...? from trev ;) .............AND yes, thats a dirty-c paint in there too... when I allowed him near the tablet without his beer....see...I give credit.

[Badger]

I loved it guys!
Those digi tutorials taught me SO much, kudos to CHristian, Kim and Pete for those.
I got home plugged in my tablet and started painting pudding style!
Thanks Molly for organising this! BIG HUGS.
Was great to see you all again. I say see, i mean great to try and work you out through my hair.
-B-

[IllustriousHarry]

Just got in :teeth: but I just have to say before collapsing


UK MEETERS, thank you all very very much,

you all taught me shitloads

Can't wait to meet the rest of te UK'rs at further meets.

[sketchling]

By the way, here are my brushes as promised.... My best advice would be for you to just PLAY with effects. Find out what all the little settings do, and if you dont know, ask, ill tell ya. Try see what you can come up with. You really can have a lot of fun doing it.

CS2 brushes :
http://www.sketchling.com/tut_stuff/SketchlingsCS2brushes.zip

OLD cs brushes... dunno whats in here folks! cant remember. still something worth playing with though...
http://www.sketchling.com/tut_stuff/sketchlingsCSbrushes-old.zip

[Summer Pudding]

That was a blast fellas. Christian and Kim, thanks for the awesome demos. You can teach an old dog new tricks after all! :)

And big thanks to Tekura for sorting it all oot.

Spudders

PS: Kim, dude, you're gonna have to delete that lame ass piccie I did on your tablet. It's embarassing!

[Hybridstar]

Any photos of the event knocking around?, surely there must be a ton. :}

[Porgy]

I must say it twas a brillant workshop. I'm very very very ( to the power of ten) glad I went, especially for all the wonderful demos Dirty C, Sketchling and Summer pudding did they were bloody good and really helpfull, a big thanks to you guys for putting the time in for those. Also of course to Molly for organising the thing aswell a really good job, and I just didn't realise how nice and friendly you were and everyone else there too. ( You really do learn so much more around talented people.)
My final shout out goes to Badger for ragging mine and pupil's arss's down the M40 last night dodging all those silly drivers most kind of you, I don't think we could of stomached a full journey again on that bloody bus.
Ok i'm off to put those tips and techinques I saw in those demos to the test.

[Dirty C]

Argh, I really should have done more on that pic, Kim! You caught me at the bit befoer I check the proportions and the eyes are spread practically round the back of her head! I always do that before I check it properly :(

Anyhow, thanks loads to everyone that came, Kim and Petey Pudding for the demos - think it worked really well having three people who worked so differently and had such different things to contribute - and number one nigga Mollay for sorting this all out.

Really pleased with the format of this one as well, dividing between the analogue and digital days. Next time I'd like to see my scanner get used and maybe we could do some collaborative artwork. Thinking about it, I'd like to show you lot how to cheat the lighting when quickly colouring a sketch. Well, maybe I shouldn't show you *everything* but hell, whatever, it'd be funny if everyone started looking like me hehe

*edit*: Oh yeah, and next time if you get lucky, I'll explain my sig ;)

[WOOKIE]

Hey there Guys

Thanx heaps for the weekend, had a great time and learn't heaps!!! Looking at Photoshop in a different light now (excuse tha pun). was great to meet so much talent, lookin forward to the next one. :}

[Raziel]

wutz up peeps sorry i haven't been on a while to post but i do keeping having a peek to catch up on a few things and check out the art and stuff, anyways i just wondered if any of you guys knew where i could find some of the pics found on tarrot cards (ie death) and that type of stuff, u know like death and skulls, skele's all that jazz, does it even have a movement name?

Ok cheers and peace

[sketchling]

Oi Christian... where be them there painter brushes ya promised me? I showed ya mine... :) I could make my own, but yours looked like a good assortment. P.S. Iv just gone back to the old colour theory tutorials and man the lights came on. LEarned a lot from you on value-colour stuff. Kinda knew it, but now I GET it.

Oh, and people wanting to know what we are blabbing on about, go here:

Jeeez pudding... just had a look at yer entry for the TD... That rocks man. really caught my eye. Geat composition. Was great seein yer demo and chatting this weekend too. Even though ya say burn the artbooks, I get inspired to paint when I see a piece like that demon and thats why I like to gather inspiration ;)

anyways, I hope ya make top 3...good luck!!

[trev]

Ello! Nice to meet all you guys and a big thanks to Dirty C, Pud and Sketchling for the tutorials - I learned alot of stuff I can put to use and also realised I need to do lots more life drawings...lots.

Ive been locked in my for the past two days getting this thing (http://www.trevorwhite.co.uk ) to work - please let me know what you think :)

Cheers

[sketchling]

Dude... love that first illustration!!! Great stuff.

The site is wicked, but I think it would be a better idea to give people the option to dock the navigation... rather than require them to find it first time. That way they know its there and can get rid of it when browsing.... if someone has to search for a way around the site it can get frustrating (it should be effortless) and the people you want to view your stuff wont have the time to spare... My guess anyways

:) Wicked though. I love flash! (mozilla doesnt though :( )

[IllustriousHarry]

"click click click" DUSCH DUSCH DUSCH!!

weee, its like i'm playing asteroids or something. Nice and fast and responsive.

If theres one thing I can't stand its flash websites that move like slugs through treacle.

Has anyone told Pete he's up against Sammy? He's away ain't he, i will do unless a reply floats it's way here spoon.
All you other talented round 2 type individuals, good luck!

Does that include the jammy sods who got here because their opponents wussed out? :tihi:

I've got some guy called 'dns2k'...

Good luck, once again, to all UK'ers!

[Dirty C]

Yeah, Pete knows, obviously one of you told him. He doesn't seem too happy about it. Given that this round is based on anatomy, he's got a frickin triple hard task ahead of him. I offered to help out, but I dunno that he wants to check me out naked for that long..

Oh and hey, I seem to have misplaced my fricking Wacom mouse!! If anyone saw it, pleeeeease let me know!

[Dirty C]

Hey, does anyone know anything about Metaphysik? All the images seem to be unlinked except his entry in the last round..

[Dirty C]

AAAAAAAAARIEROIAROEIGGGHHHHH!!!!

I can't paint!!! Me and my Wacom are no longer as one!!!! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MOUSE?????

yer welcome to come by and borrow mine... ive never used it and its in a cupboard at home. I can bring it to work if ya want?

Kim, I love you. And I've only ever said that to my cousin. Kim.

[MarkDN]

Kim, since my tablet is at work and by boss is on holiday, I've been playing with Photoshop brushes. Thanks to your tutelage I've made my first brush, which I'm extremely pleased with - I call it "turtle arse". Unfortunately I killed SmartFTP, which was the only thing that remembered my FTP site password, so no one else can revel in the splendour of my turtle arse texture, but I'm sure you'll all sleep more easily knowing it's out there somewhere.

In other news; a random phone call asked me to story board a short film. They emailed me the script and I'm going to discuss it with the director on Sunday. I be excited!

[trev]

Hiya, Im moving to Clapham tomorro so I porably wont have access to the net for a week or so. If any more meets are in the works please gimme a txt - I think young Molly has my number. :)

Tc, cya soon - Trev

[koshime]

that is a beautiful sketch kim....lovely indeed

[Dirty C]

Ok, so on Monday I start two weeks painting from life at the Slade. Pretty cool. But I've just found out that the proper tutor won't be there. Instead, we're going to get this woman.

This woman is 1) From New Zealand. Ok, well, maybe I can get some decent connections from her.

But she is also 2) Completely fucking shit. Seriously, check this out: http://www.jonathangrantgalleries.com/exhibition.asp?exb=10

I'm gutted, I'll probably end up fucking teaching *her*.

[Porgy]

Jee Wizz she is tosh! Her paintings are all abit :scribble:

Blimey what is going on with this one, it's like a poor mans Van Gogh:

http://www.jonathangrantgalleries.com/exhibition.asp?exb=10&ds=1&id=126&name=#jgg126

:S Yuck.

I wish you luck Dirty C, enjoy! LoL

[Dirty C]

I know! She's basically completely inept in terms of mark making, colour theory, composition, paint handling and anatomy.

Fuck it. Oh well, I'll just go try score some chicks and learn what I can. We're doing a sustained pose with the model for NINE DAYS!!! Can't understand or believe it, to be honest. I figure I'll probably knock off a couple of paintings in that time, hopefully one really well finished thing I'm happy with (for the requisite five seconds) and a couple of other angles which I can learn more during.

[Dirty C]

Awright babe! I dunno what you're up to today, I'm probably tied up tonight, but give me a shout anyhow. I'm all curiously awake after going home 12 hours earlier than I expected to (I should still be out, technically) so have the day free for ambling about or whatever. Hope you have a great day at any rate, and I'll see you soon enough even if not today.

*GREAT BIG SMOOCH*

[Porgy]

Oh it's Molly's Birthday is it, well a big happy birthday to ya then. Here you go, here is a silly wasp thing that looks like a cross between a carrot and a hammer for you: \w/

Hey everyone, just gotta give props to a friend of mine in Australia. He's 18, and since I've known him - about two years - he's progressed like a demon on fire. The past year he's perfected pencil SPs to such a degree it's alarming. The link is his final art project for HIGH SCHOOL.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves..

peace :7up:

[PHATandy]

Hey dudes, PHATandy here.

The meets you goes are up to sound pretty cool, i was thinking about attending some stuff like this but cant find anywhere around me, (im living in the midlands atm) i wanna go to a life drawing classes and suh like you guys, maybe a workshop one day. but it sounds like you do all your stuff in London right?

Im only 16 (nearly 17 :P) so i cant drive around to places like london. Do you ever do them anywhere else and stuff?

Btw - Dirty C man thts rodrigo hes here on CA - hes a kick ass penciler, those drawings do rock.

hehe. Nice to see you coming to the UK CartoonFox.

Happy birthday aswell Moly.

[Midnight]

Yeah, most of the stuff happens in London, which means we Midlanders can't really get there often (if at all). Whereabouts are you located, PHATandy?

Happy Birthday, Molly!

Mid.

[Pupil]

I'm in a rush but I since this is the first time I've been able to get on CA.org since Aug 5th I want to say I learnt a lot at that London meet, so cheers to everyone there especially Summer Pudding Sketchling and dirty_c and of course Molly (happy birthday by the way). The lift from Badger was much appreciated too. See you round.

[acuna_read]

Just wanted to post about a tattoo convention at the 'Old Truman Brewery' on Brick Lane, London. http://www.thelondontattooconvention.com/

Dont know if anyone here is going but I will probably be popping along with a friend and my sister (not sure which day yet). If your going give us a shout and maybe meet up. It's bout £15 to get in, I think.

Happy B'day Molly. PM sent to you about life drawing classes.

[PHATandy]

Hey Midnight-
i live in the West Midlands at Worcester. Its a bum hole but its good enough i guess.. LOL

Since ure around here aswell do you know of any places that do like Life drawing lessons and stuff - you with life models and such.

[Badger]

Nice to see you coming to the UK CartoonFox.

Oooh man that's harsh!

Howdy Mr Phat welcome!
I've been working 34hrs in 3 days.... I hurt.

hey Sally Badger - I'll be waiting with 2 cold pints of Badger Smooth, as long as you pick up the Tab!

Hehe na seriously dood, we shalleth meet up and do some sketchingetc.. where you stayin again ?

Eri

[Molly]

Hey Fellas,

Thanx for the birthday wishes, and thanx to those who joined me in a lil drinky-poos too...my head hurts today, but I am happy!

DC - I hope you find ur WACOM pen and mouse, if not - its an excuse to go by a brand spanking new one...... go on, spoil yourself!

Cartoon - your moving to the ole smoke soon eh? hhmmmm - we should meet up as soon as then...;)

acuna_read - I dont know of any place in SE London who do life drawing classes, I suggest trying Lewisham College or, Goldsmiths. If anything, come to the Art Academy, in London Bridge, its easy to get to from Greenwich or any mainline from ur side. Plus, er, I'll be there, so....tattoo convention looks crazy - im up for it...

Im off to find some pain killers....

Mollyx

[Dirty C]

Bets on what DC looses next week?

I can already tell you that. The Slade course started today, and I think it's going to be great. In more than one way - it's me, one old dude and like ten fit as fuck chelsea girls. And if my sick brain had its way, what i would be losing is the right to enter US soil.

*edit: Oh yeah, Molly, I've been in serious trouble today as well. After I got home from your thing, me and my stupid drunken ass decided to go out again! I went to a dnb gig in Old St at 1am and got home again at around four. Course the bloody slade started at 9 o'clock, so I had to be up at seven. I've had the frickin shakes all day, and yes, the sarcasm's back..

Oh, and in other news, one of our two models doesn't shave *anything* but has - get this - breast implants. How the hell does that happen?? Aren't those like diametrically opposed belief systems??

[Midnight]

PHATandy - I go to life drawing in Shrewsbury. It's the only place I've found that's drop-in, no long-term obligations, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't life drawing in Worcester, since most places offer something...

dirty_c - sounds like a colourful course!

Mid.

[Dirty C]

Well, I was talking to some of my little tribe of fit bitches today, and they reckon they're not fake, just really really great tits. So there you go.

I went to an art store today, and like an arse, dropped £200 on f*cking oil paint. And there's bugger all of it. Word of advice - don't buy Old Holland series 4 paints unless you really mean it. And I got two canvases - the biggest is four foot by five - so I think I'm gonna have to go back and get some cheaper paint to cover the majority of the surface haha

[Eriboss]

i wish I could spend £200 on oil paint :(

"Eriboss is completing the Thunderdome Round 2 picture with a small plastic £1.99 Playschool "My first Paints" set... on the back of a Take That poster.
:nohope:

[sketchling]

..... Like... just buy painter dude.

HAHAHAHAHA. eh em.
going now.
K

P.S. Ever think of getting spayed? :D

[Molly]

DC - tsk, tsk - you went out after? ur nuts bwoy, nuts I tell ya!
hhmm - so the Chelsea beeatches think the models tits are real? hhmm....if her tattys DONT flop under her armpits when she lies down, they ARE fake....how goes the class anyhoo?

right, I have booked my flight to Prague, I'll be staying from Weds 19th - Weds 26th Oct. I may not attend the actual workshop as I have been many times, and I ALWAYS miss out on the sites of whatever city its in; I'll be bunking up with Buffaloe and Pandorablood, two gals I met in Austin, most likely we'll stay in the Goldensickle with the rest of the CA.org folks.
BTW - apparently theres a bone church in Prague....anyone wanna go see? we'll arrange summink. Closer to the time we'll all swap numbers blah blah
PPL - if you do plan on going, book/reserve your place asap, the European ws will be a lil smaller, and places will go fairly quickly..

Anyone posted there drawings from the UK meet yet? I havent been able to scan mine in - yet!

Cartoonfox - when do ya fancy a meet then? we aint seen you in ages...

First : a VERY BELATED :ah: :aa: :ap: :ap: :ay: :ab: :ai: :ar: :at: :ah: :ad: :aa: :ay: to molly. Late, but I made up for it with volume! :bashful:

A good and true quote.

[cartoonfox]

hey everyone. i've finally found somewhere to live!! wooo ^-^
its in north harrow, 5 minute walk from north harrow station. (which is two stops from my campus). its a lovely area, nice and quiet, just what i need after a hard days work in uni ^-^
anyway, i cant wait to move in ^-^ i move 11th september. and i should be settled in by the end of the day.
as for a meet, anything after 11th is fine. as long as its before 19th, thats when i enroll and start my course, i'll be busyer then ^-^
also, becuase i will be living in london, even if its just a meet for a few hours after work or something, i'll be able to join in ^-^

man, im so excited. i just got back home in cardiff 30 minutes ago. im so tired (2 days looking for somewhere to live) but so happy ^-^ and the metropolitan line takes me straight into central london in like 20 minutes.


anyway, just thought i'd let you all know ^-^ hope to see you guys again real soon



peace :7up:

[trev]

A verrrrry late happy birthday to Molly!

Ide be well up for going to that tatoo exhibition.

Times almost up - cya later!

[4rt-r41d]

yoyoyo.

[Badger]

hey trev, according to my map, clapham is knowhere near harrow. harrow is north (north-west) but if your ever in harrow come and say hello ^-^



peace :7up:

[Dirty C]

Wow, lookit me and my no chin. Shit.

Well anyway, I'm off to the National Portrait gallery now, in theory to meet someone who managed to put their phone number into my phone wrong last night. Sigh.

[Hazamataz]

Woohey, its Harry, here, with a new name and more sparkle and razamataz than ever before.

Gotta say cartoon fox, i'm pretty envious, london's where its AT.

Hey Wakazou and PHATandy, talk keeps flying around about a more Central/Northern Meet, Buxton was suggested, its only a matter of time before something happens, I recon it wont be until after the October "praha" :dur: CA workshop.

[trev]

Cartoonfox - yup your right, I was zoomed out a liiiiittle bit too far on google maps!

[koshime]

Finally a workshop i can attend. October 21 - 24th is right after my exams. Anyone else going (kim??)

[Dirty C]

Well, if someone up there wants to organise something, and suggest some dates, then maybe something will happen. As it stands, only the London crew appears to be happy to get off our arses :P But yeah, I do think it'd be cool to do something in an interesting place. Tekura and I did have the wacky idea of finding cheap eurostar tickets one time and rocking it to france as a group, but maybe we should start small first heh.

Anyway, yeah I'll be in Prahaha. Haven't sorted anything out yet, but I will do. Guess I'd better start looking at flights and stuff.. I'm told the Golden Sickle is the place you wanna be. Anyone booked hotel except T yet?

[koshime]

havent booked any flights or hotels yet. As i havnet been to Praha before. Maybe we can get a three for one trip thingy?

[Dirty C]

havent booked any flights or hotels yet. As i havnet been to Praha before. Maybe we can get a three for one trip thingy?

A what?

[koshime]

Group flight? Any known recommended flights?

[Molly]

A what?

yeah hehe .... a what???

haha - if ya want real cheap flights go via easyjet - I know, i know - they are awful, and its either morning or evening but hey ho, its cheap blah blah..

I'll be arriving in Praha well early on Wed 19th Oct....

Mx

[koshime]

I suppose they wont have baggagge problems like BA, btu they are kinda awful. I think EZ jet fy from Luton airport....

[cartoonfox]

i've flown with easy jet twice, and never had a problem. i checked and they fly to prague from gatwick and stanstead. for only about £110!

im going 19th and coming back 25th (6 nights). me and poop are rooming together, with a few of his friends. but i think we have 2 or 3 places left (depending on the size of the room, i think its 8 beds) so anyone here wonna room with me and poop? let me know

i cant wait to go, i just need to hurry up and book my tuition.



also, only 6 days till i move, wooo! ^-^

ah cool. nawh i was thinking in the beginning of 2006 if there are any.
are there any good public transports connections between manchester and wolverhampton?

and man its getting close for me to move :D
not as close as it is for cartoonfox but anyway :D

cartoonfox: were are you going to study?

[acuna_read]

For anyone coming along to this tattoo convention please let me know ASAP by PM.

I was just going to order tickets then get you to pay me when we met up, are people ok with that? Was also looking to on Sat the 8th of October but can do the Sunday if that's easier. Let me know, cheers.

As a preliminary of people going I have:-

Me,
Molly/Tek,
Trev,
ad my sister + 1 mate.

Any other takers?

[cartoonfox]

hey man, when is this tattoo convention? how much and what is it? ^-^
i will be available from 12th onwards (i move on 11th but most of the day will be spent bringing all my stuff up and settling in)

let me know



peace :7up:

[acuna_read]

The tattoo convention is on October 7th, 8th and 9th. Looking to go on the 8th which is a Saturday, and will probably bring drinking money as were in town. ;)

It's £15 a ticket.

A tattoo convention (from what I gather) is where you can go and just see people with lots of tattoo's, watch guys at work and generally get idea's for tattoo's, there should also be a bar! Never been to one but am looking for idea's for a tattoo i'm going to get so thought I'd pop along.

Got to go along and watch this guy at work though at some point. http://www.boristattoo.zalaszam.hu/index_e.html Check out this guys work in the gallery section, and remember that they are tattoo's onto people's skin. It's amazing.

Let me know by next week if your interested.

[cartoonfox]

hmm, £15 to see tattoos, im not too fond of the general tattoo style. i'll think about, and let you know ^-^



peace :7up:

[acuna_read]

If you want to look at it in a very basic way then yes it could be seen as that. It's more like an art exhibition really, just that the art is mainly on, and being put onto people. Having an interest in tattoo's, or at least wanting to understand a very specialist type of art is probably necessary.

Clink on the the tabs at the left hand side of this page, there's some of what is going on. http://www.thelondontattooconvention.com/events.html

I'm particularly interested in seeing the Art Fusion thing and also the "Hand Traditional Tattoo's".

[koshime]

tatooos?
sounds bizzare. Let me book my leave first, and if i get it, I'll want in on one of those bedds

[blog]

About Praha, I'm going too!! And I should get my Intuos3 a5 for the weekend!

I'll build a little portfolio, to show Android, Manley, Djurdjevic, Hussar...Noxizmad and Insane Visions too!!!!!!! This is gonna be awesome!

From what I've gathered Molly, Dirty-c, Cartoonfox and Koshime are going to Prague?

Have you booked all your flights and stuff, I still need to :zzz:

[cartoonfox]

ok koshime, let me know if you can join in our room, i'll reserve a spot for you know ^-^

omg just 4 days!!!

Yes, i so am...:)

Mx

[sketchling]

im a lazy git...but bugger it im coming. ill book my leave tomorrow and sort flights soon after. whats the story with days... do we need to go over on the thutrs and return on the tues? i take it thats 4 solid days then... man.

Koshime... when yer exms man, Im dyin to get together and paint/talk crap. We have some islands to get painting and im getting all inspired again. Must make a plan sooooon!

[Dirty C]

Yeah - Kim, the place is frickin spectacular. Molly, I'll talk to you tonight, but i may be keen to do five days or something, depending on pretty much everything, obviously. I've been before, but it's such a cool place, and I may never get the chance to go back. So I can't see any reason not to enjoy one or two extra days while I'm there anyway.

Ooh, and I'm going to Barcelona! Damn, that's a cool city!

*edit*: I've just been thinking. I guess this might seem obvious to some people, but I guess it never really did to me before.

Has anyone noticed that the kind of person who does environments tends to be a much more kinda chilled out person than the character dudes? I'm just kinda thinking about the fact that me and molly kinda hang together and get stoned and talk shite while koshime and sketchling hang together and obsess over photoshop filters hahaha. I don't mean that in a nasty way or anything, i just mean that one type tends to gravitate to its own, and I don't think it's purely a matter of 'shared interest' but also a real personality archetype.

Hey, T, are we mentioning the thing we're discussing tomorrow? I dunno why we wouldn't be, just that we haven't, so..

[note for speculators - no i'm not pregnant, and no it's nothing like that..]

[sketchling]

I resemble that remark...

Yeah... I guess I have a thing for tranquil forests. I am trying to get back into fuigures cause they add a an element of story to a scene... but not for much more than that I guess...

Funnily enough if you look at my photos from holidays over the years, I have very few with people in them... though I have an inccredible variety of plants, nature scenes, wall-textures and pictures of interesting rocky dirt....

[Summer Pudding]

Damn, I wish I was going. You lucky, jarzy lot!

Fukstix!

Spudders

[koshime]

hmmm, might be an idea to go for 5-6 days then.
I'm free to go from the 19th to the 24th. How about you guys?
i.e whens a good time to book leave then. i.e 20-26? Let me know guys, so i can arrange leave...

Kim > finsihed first set of exams, started to re learn how to paint again...must meet up. Am free tommorow . How bout you?

[cartoonfox]

koshime, im going from 19th - 25th, 2 days before and one day after the workshop



peace :7up:

[blog]

I was planning on going from the 20th to the 25th. It is so conveniant for me as I break upi for Half term on the Thursday when I'm planning to set off, unless that isn't a good date to set off or anything?

Edit: And for those of you who have been, what is it like to be around Marko, Manley, Mandroid, and the rest of the rockstars?

[Badger]

20th- 27th at the mo.
Anyone wana room? Hostel would be nice n' cheap. But i'm aware a lot of you can afford to live in relative luxury.
-B-

[WARHEAD]

Sounds like you guys will have a great time in Praha.....don't know why I'm not going ! Just being too lazy to organise it all :nohope:

Ha ha - Badgerino your sketchbook link colour matches your fishnets :P

[koshime]

Say Cartoonfox, what kind of accomadations ahve u guys booked out?
B&B, hostel, house??

[cartoonfox]

i havent booked it yet (well, poop might have by now) but its the golden sickle, a hostel. from 19th to 25th

hope you can join our room





peace :7up:

[Dirty C]

Hey.
I guess I need to sort this out as well. Badger, what dates are you going?

[Badger]

Hey.
I guess I need to sort this out as well. Badger, what dates are you going?

20th- 27th. I'm having MSN troubles tonight, i'll see if i can sort it out.
-B-

[Eriboss]

i need to sort all this out too, will be doing in the next day or 2.. looks like me and the girl are going (she gunna walk the streets whilst in the days) otherwise i'l be hitting it alone,
prolly 20th to 25th

Eri

[sketchling]

im going from the 20th till the 25th. Im keen for a cheap hotel... dont wanna be in a big hostel with a tablet pc..? Dunno. we shall see. I have booked the leave though.

[koshime]

wish i ahd a tablet PC.

I've booked my leave for 19 - 24th now. jsut waiting for approaval

[Dirty C]

Kim. Your tablet pc is nice. Very nice. But it's worth less than my powerbook (at least the original sale price), which has been a lot of places yo Yarpie ass has not, and it will be coming to my hostel. Stop worrying so much :D

Good luck with the gf, Eri. The workshops are best enjoyed as really intensive, first-person immersive experiences. It'd be a pity not to enjoy it properly cause you felt guilty about your partner feeling left out in a foreign city.

Koshime - yes, I wish I had a tablet PC too. But not until Apple makes it :D

[koshime]

the only down side of bringing our laptops is the need for powersource, constant lugging about and weight.... gotta be done I guess! Will rummage me ol'house and see if there is a suitable daypac. If its too difficult, a simple rennaisance pad + digital cam will be enough for me

Say, does anyone know where the praha workshop will be held?

Cartoonfox: this is the golden sickle me thinks - has basic ameneties...and a local kitchen. Unlimited hotwater showers! Woohoo! Works for me: http://www.prague-hostels.cz/golden-sickle/hostel-golden-sickle.htm

[Molly]

- Koshime, I think its being held at the same place as the Travellers Hostel, thats what Layil has posted anyway, I only spotted it as I was looking to make a reservation to stay for 7 nights...

They rrreally should let us know where it will be held...

BTW:
Sculpture Exhibition by Ivan Klapez at:
The Crypt Gallery,
St Pancras Parish Church
Euston Road
NW1
10am - 7pm free entry, donations on the doors

www.klapez.freeuk.com (http://www.klapez.freeuk.com/index.html)

Ivan is from Croatia and his work is very dark, expressive, figurative, beautiful. He has inspired my drawing so much. He is an artist-in-residence where I work, and his knowledge of anatomy is amazing.
The subject of his work ranges from male and female torsos, to musicians, to a metamorphosis of pigeons and homeless people and off the street. If you have time, go take a look, you will be plesently surprised, and find thqt the Crypt is a perfect gallery space for his works.

Mx

[Hazamataz]

Wow, the tension and drama in some of those poses is pretty incredible. Give some of those musicians a robe and a mean looking staff and they'd make an awesome wizard . Some of the portraits are straight Alien/Creature concepting.

Everyone whoes off to Prahahaha, hope you all enjoy it, and show em what our little humble Island can do. Who knows maybe the next workshop will be in the UK. :canadapatriot: and maybe even a UK one of these.

[koshime]

but first, we need to hail and drag out all thso ehiding Uk marko's - Alan lee woudl be great!!!!

[cartoonfox]

peace :7up:

[acuna_read]

Cartoon where do you live in London? Might know of some bits to go to/see local to you.

From most places in London it only takes about 40 mins to get into central London, that's from where I am in the burbs. Once there there's plenty of places to go and check out. If your flat sharing then ask your flat mates what's local. Or just go for a walk and have a look around. Scouting out the local takeaway joints and supermarkets is always good.

[cartoonfox]

hey acuna, i live in north harrow, 5 mins from north harrow station (metropolitan line). which is about 20 mins to central london (baker street)

yeah i went walking around yesterday and today. theres a lot of cafe's and resturants here. indian, chinese, turkish... plus good old pizza too ^-^
i know theres a bowling alley 5 mins from me too, dunno how good it is. but i dont think theres much else except mabye a park or two. it's a nice area though.

anyway, if anyone feels like going out for a few drinks, coffee, ice cream, fish and chips, burger king, etc etc ^-^ give me a call and i'll come out, 07866021823

otherwise i'll just stay in and work on my thunderdome ^-^



peace :7up:

[4rt-r41d]

Yo :D
ok now its exactly one week till i move, and im getting a little nervous,
wich ones here are close to birmingham/wolverhampton?

would be cool if anyone would wanna meet and sketch and shit.

>:D

Cartoonfox: is london cool? :D

cya

[Tenelaus]

Have you guys who're leaving for Prague on the 20th got your flights arranged? I assume they'll be from Heathrow, would be good to get the same flight if possible! I'm looking at leaving at 15:00 myself.

[Dirty C]

Hey kids!

Well, Badger, Chi, it looks like we're booked in with Cai for the 19th till the 25th. Badger, you'll need to fend for yourself for the first night - might just wanna give the golden sickle a call and get a bed for that one night - they'll probably give you the same rate, I'd imagine. If I still go on the 18th it looks like I'll be sorted.

Haven't sorted flights yet - will take a look online today.

Hi guys...

I am very keen to go to prague (or however the cool kids say it these days). I'm trying to figure out whether I will get my passport back in time to actually book anything and whether I can get time off ... fingers crossed...hope to see you guys there.

Imery.

[koshime]

Just waitiing for payment details from Mellisa so i can book some late flights from Prague - Wanted to stay till 25th but have to leave for work for the same day.

[sketchling]

240 quid... ouch. thats a lot a moolah. I guess it is only 60 quid a day and iv paid a physio the same for an hour but that is still pretty steep. oh well. whats money for anyways! eeeep.

You dont need a visa on a british passport do ya?

[Eriboss]

aarrrpp, ive booked my place - juss gotta sort out sleeping avaliability for goldensickle and book up me flights, will be taking off from bristol IA on the 20th prolly.

eri :evilmustache:

[sketchling]

who else is up for the golden sickle? Im thinking of booking tonight if I can. What ya all think? wheres everyone stayin?

[Tenelaus]

I'm doing the goldensickle myself.

[koshime]

I'm doing the goldensickle with Cai, Dirty C, Poop and Badger

[Alex Kaiser]

Hey everyone, i think I dropped off the face of the planet for a while how are you all doin, sketchling, I still owe you money :P I'm in london now, livin near tower bridge, which is good, lookin for a job, so was just curious if anyone is meeting up at any time?

[sketchling]

ah... I want in on the golden sickle! how I do that though. must I contact them direct or must I talk to someone organizing a room?

[cartoonfox]

ok our room is full!!
we have:
- me
- poop
- sketchling
- koshime
- dirty_c
- badger
- poop's friend
- poops other friend

should be a good room ^-^




peace :7up:

[Badger]

ok our room is full!!
we have:
- me
- poop
- sketchling
- koshime
- dirty_c
- badger
- poop's friend
- poops other friend


Who's are poop's friends? they from polycount?

Tenelaus, Eriboss needs a room, you guys should gather up the UK stragglers.

-B-

[cartoonfox]

i think they are from his work.

christian said that you are arriving 18th like him, where are you gonna stay the first night? you might be able to just room with some strangers on the first night, thats what i did when i missed my flight in berlin and had to stay over one night, it was cool 'cos the room was filled with girls!! a group of french students and some american girls too!! ^-^ hehe fun times

anyway, will be good to meet you all, i cant wait





peace :7up:

[koshime]

Just a question - how is everyone here paying the tuition fees.

Mellisa said that once the details of CC are know, payment can be processed. But short of phoning her (I dont feel happy email an unencrypted or unsecure mail mehod to her)

Thoughts anyone?

[Dirty C]

it was cool 'cos the room was filled with girls!! a group of french students and some american girls too!!


Hm. I see what you're saying. And you'd expect me to sleep in a room with you and six other guys *after* that. Hm.

[imery]

Damnit! Still no word about my passport... looks like I'll be the outsider since said passport thing will force me to book late. Hope there are still places when I finally do get it...

The joys of red tape.

I.

[Dirty C]

Hehehe - Imery's Gladiator level is 'indabatty' hehehe

[sketchling]

How ya guys doing the payment for the workshop? it seems i gotta pay through the western union thing... anyone done it? I dont like the idea of sending my credit card info through e-mail. Anyways, Western union didnt have all the options i was supposed to fill in for Melissa... anyone know anything?

K

[Dirty C]

Yeah, I know it doesn't seem like great idea emailing the credit card - really not sure why they don't just use paypal like they did every other time! But anyway, I just did it. Figure it's not much more dangerous than flashing it round in public with no more protection in 90% of instances than a scribble which nobody even checks, or say leaving it at the pub like I did two weeks ago ;)

[imery]

If anyone wants to know the rest of Christians credit card number, just let me know :)

I.

[Dirty C]

Oh, by the way, Katja from the Golden Sickle apparently loves me :D

[sketchling]

well, you'll find out when you get there. Prague does have a reputation... as do you...

[Molly]

Hehehe - Imery's Gladiator level is 'indabatty' hehehe

Thanks a Shed-load for telling me about that sculpture exhibit. So inspiring!! I did 2 paintings when I got home. Couldnt help myself!!
http://www.sketchling.com/artwork/2005/artrage/Sculpture-inspired_1.jpg
http://www.sketchling.com/artwork/2005/artrage/Sculpture-inspired_2.jpg

And here's the other artrage stuff I was telling you about:

http://www.sketchling.com/artwork/2005/artrage/hero_study_2.jpg

I in really enjoying artrage . Can just paint and forget the technical!

[Dirty C]

Good lad, always good to remember that it's art first!

Um, gotta figure out how to export these brushes. Anyone know how?

BTW, just did an online IQ test. It gave me back a frickin picture of Bill Gates! What the hell is that supposed to mean?? It didn't ask me any questions about fashion whatsoever!!

[sketchling]

hmmm. maybe an egometer reading or even or some kind of secret feel-the-collective-love-ometer? :P
