IMPORTANT MATTER FOR ARTISTS - ConceptArt.Org News-Brad Holland Interview

Hi everyone,

The email below will be self-explanatory. There is an important issue facing us as artists, related to the copyrights of our works, which corporations wish to control and take at our expense. You could lose ownership of the art you create. We must put a stop to this immediately unless you wish to see others owning and plagiarizing your art.


This is too important to ignore please participate and forward to your others.

Congress is rushing these bills through to a floor vote. The House will start marking up their version of the bill at 2:00 today; the Senate will do so tomorrow. To try to stop this bill, we first need to slow down the race to get it passed.

FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS' PARTNERSHIP

Take Action: Don't Let Congress Orphan Our Work

We've set up an online site for visual artists to e-mail their Senators and Representatives with one click.

This site is open to professional artists, photographers and any member of the image-making public.

We've provided sample letters from individuals representing different sectors of the visual arts.

If you're opposed to the Orphan Works act, this site is yours to use.

For international artists and our colleagues overseas, we've provided a special link, with a sample letter and instructions as to whom to write.


2 minutes is all it takes to write Congress and protect your copyright:

Hi UK peeps!! :teeth:

I'm gonna go on a 5-day tip to London with my father to celebrate me graduating from the Dutch equivalent of pre-university (I think). I'll be in London from the 5th until the 10th of June. It would be great if I could meet up with a few CA people while I'm over there..
You guys know better what is going on in London than I do, so maybe there is some nice exhibition to go to, or a zoo or something? :P (Is there a zoo nearby London?).

Anyways, tell me if you're interested and we'll pick a date, time and place. :teeth:
Love,
Marleen.

P.S. in case you're trying to e-mail some U.S. people for that Orphan bill that Dirty C pointed out, I made a post (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1754577&postcount=14) in that thread with links to e-mail adresses and forms for those institutions, in case you don't have a fax machine nearby.

im sure you guys have probably been fawning over this guy for years, but i just found him... he's my new hero.

also, i'll be heading down next weekend to check out the cans festival (if its still there) if anyone wants to join me... lovely weather!

your coming to london and you didnt even think to drop by and give your old friend sean a visit? tell me it isnt so.

[koshime]

there is always nandos for everything else....better than visa

[koshime]

Well FOLKS.

I'm afraid to say. YOU ALL HAVE TO PERFORM SAFER SEX.
cough. Alright. What I mean is, you have to think of watermarking/protecting your art assets better becasue the Orphan Act has been approved and rushed through the US IP subcomitee.

I can see the US/UK govt gleefully rubbing their hands....(a way to tax artists on any artwork they produce through a central registry and a blatant infringement on Brent copyright law)

5/8/08:

Bad news:

""H.R. 5889 (the Orphan Works bill in the House) unanimously sailed through the House IP Subcommittee yesterday."

The Illustrators Partnership has sent out an alert that we must email the House Judiciary Committee NOW.

In light of that spirit.
I'm going to have to figure out a creative way of watermarkign without an art piece being too fugly to look at. :)

Off too camden for my 1st london gig for aaaaages tonight so wont be able to make the Nandos...have a good one guys:)

Got me Orphan letter and ready to post!
See you guys in Nandos tonight!

Noe - we'd love to meet ya girl! Look forward to it, I should be in the country then, (I'm trying to avoid going on holiday with the inlaws! ergh!)

[koshime]

Errr. you know the date for the orphan bill passed already right? Its now time to rebut the passed bill

[yAdam]

Just found out about the orphan bill! I guess we're going to have to padlock our sketchbooks and never post work online again..... Just to be sure, a simple copyright mark will not matter anymore, you have to actually register every single piece of work if you want to be certain no one can use it?

[aefx]

To be honest if you guys are so worried about this bill you should have been on it months ago.

[koshime]

the registry is a purely compulsory matter. and does not affect the bill and does NOT guarantee your work is not pillaged. raped and distorted (derivative use is allowed under the orphanage)

A simple copyright is not enough. You have to stick FUGLY copyright where it hurts a sweet image or key areas

[Mon Chat]

clickedy click click. i think you should design a pretty watermark.

that would be a hoot.

until that gets stolen.

ohhhh bummer... i hope the cans thing stays open.. if not i'll take a stroll around shoreditch

[Molly]

J.Boswell - you chatting about the 'Cans festival?' In Leake Street, Waterloo?
I went the other day - awesome er...'exhibit'

Theres a wall thats been chipped away to create a giant face, pretty cool how the artist managed to use the texture with his work. Theres also some little cartoony/graphic gems here and there. Granted, much of the work has been stenciled, but who cares? More walls and diused tunnels should get this treatment....I got some photos, need to upload.....

mx

[Mon Chat]

i mostly want to see the exhibit for that chiseled face... sounds awesome...

[danlop]

Hi guys!

Is good to be back, I went to Bristol yesterday and met Simon Bisley that guy is really awesome, he even took the time to check my work and gave me some advice on color, the event was ok although I though it was going to be bigger, didn't stay until tomorrow as planned (no reason to pay for the extra hotel night).
Anyway, London Zoo still up for next weekend??

[Mogster]

hmm doubt ill make that one depending what time of the day it is, probebly working. although last nights london group was quite fun, got some good advice.

[Molly]

ya, I heard the bill passed a while back and well *shrugs* I also heard some other disturbing news regarding free speech on this forum.... really kinda pissed me off actually...

Care to enlighten us Molly? I noticed a thread something like "if you care about free speech then read this..." but i thought it was about some website :/

LONDON ZOO MEET MAY 17th(this Saturday) 12:30PM

Feel free to message me for my mobile number to coordinate. We'll probably all meet up just outside the gates of the Zoo.

[Noë]

so maybe there is some nice exhibition to go to, or a zoo or something? :P (Is there a zoo nearby London?).

Dude, I've been reading your mind! :P
I seriously didn't know there was a zoo meeting coming up. Oh well.

Love
Marleen.

[Hybridstar]

May try to make it, need to pick up a ton of canvas in London town sometime soon anyhoooooo.

[sketchling]

[Quicksilver]

[Smarty]

hi all, molly pointed me this way... I've been kicking about for awhile on CA but thought I'd officially say hi to the UK'ers i don't already know. Come September ill be down south so might get myself a bit more involved then.

[Mon Chat]

love the deep themed display pic molly :) (hello smartkyle!)

Edit: is it alright if I bring a mate along to this trip? she is an art student too :p

[danlop]

I have a terrible cold (thanks to this lovable unstable weather) hope to get better to make it on saturday...

[sketchling]

danlop : great news man :) Im so happy its workin out for ya. I must get you in toutch with a friend of mine... a guy called TIO_Matt on CA forums. He is in spain and used to inspire me to draw all the time. :)

[sketchling]

j.boswell... yeah, of course! bring whoever. Its usually best to bring people who dont feel uncomfortable with everyone's maniic sketching, but everyones welcome :)

[Mon Chat]

sketchling - hah, she is one of us.

[sketchling]

bugger... just noticed the 12:30 meet up time. Iv got a friends birthday thing at 2 so I might have to bail... for some reason I thought it was 11 hmmm. damn.

[danlop]

sketchling: thanks matey, I saw his website and it's really amazing, I'll contact him for sure.

Aefx: Sorry I missed the zoo meeting, not fully recovered from the cold and with this weather .... hope you had a good time there.

[Mon Chat]

danlop and sketchling and co - we had a hoot :), im sorry I couldn't have met you guys (or met sketchling again :yayca: ), but next time eh?! we spent most of the day saying we were going to see the penguins...

[Molly]

So, I was looking for a book to read, not caring what, and saw EON by Greg Bear on my book shelf. Having absolutely no idea what it was about, I decided to read.
Got well into it, but was actually finding it difficult to 'imagine' what the world was like within. So, to help me a long, a did goodle image search, and found that CGSociety, had done a 'competition' based on the book. I was blown away with some of the interpretations: 2d, 3d, Illustration and video, so I thought I'd share here:

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/eon/

[koshime]

Yah. they did that 2-3 months back... :)

[Mogster]

yea saw that a while back, never really read a sci fi book before o.O!

[sketchling]

molly: yeah... funnily enough, their current one, uplift saga is about the book I found and read in a second hand book swap in koh phenyang thailand...
If ya want more sci fi, I have TONS and im in give books away mode in the run up for my leaving...

ps, anyone interested in meeting up and hanging out on the wweekend for this:
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/thelongweekend2008/

[Mogster]

hmm im doing http://www.londonexpo.com/index.shtml on that date. but im shure i could sort something out on one of the days.

[Molly]

Yah. they did that 2-3 months back... :)

Ya, the quality is amazing, and inspiring. It helped with visualising 'some' scenes in my head whilst reading the book...

Kim - I'll take some of those books offa you....:) may be able to make that Londonexpo thing, depends if my cold clears up in time...I feel so crappy....

[Quicksilver]

Heyo~ Is anyone up for a big ol' London meet on Saturday 7th June? Also, there's gonna be a Graduate Fashion Show the next day in Earl's Court if anyone's interested? EDIT: You need tickets for it, mind. Will post a link later.

[Mogster]

I'll be there on the 7th, dont see why the fassion show would be problem for me might go for that aswell.

molly - get well soon -_-

[Molly]

- a meet on the 7th sounds cool..:)
- Koshime, is there a nandos meet soon?

[koshime]

Seeing as its it's just behind my place seems silly not to pop along....got a mate down probably Friday/Sat to Sun who I'll be busy with 1st half of the weekend, but I'm up for some sunday evening/monday night action, I'm very up for the Graffiti thing on monday or the early computer animation buisness sunday

[Mogster]

looks like im going to be in london all weekend ;p

[danlop]

I could do with a sweet dose of nandos ...is it possible this week?

Molly I think it was a virus or something like that, I had a terrible cold last weekend and some of my friends were in the same situation, good to hear your better now.

[koshime]

Should be possible this thursday/Friday. Just need to see if we finish in time.....

[Molly]

Molly I think it was a virus or something like that, I had a terrible cold last weekend and some of my friends were in the same situation, good to hear your better now.

Possible Thurs/Fri

As for the cold thing, I blame the weather, and my smoking habit. Which, I'm gona try knocking on the head. I have tried before with no luck *sigh* but I really do want to stop. My smoking is done mainly when I'm drinking and other smokers are about, so its all gona be down to will power - fuck nicotine patches, I think they're a terrible idea, and defeats the object of quiting smoking....

mx

[Mogster]

I vote friday since im off, and id only pitch up maby 7:30 on the thursday :/ which wouldnt give me much time.

[danlop]

Friday sounds good to me.

[Quicksilver]

Glad you're feeling better, Tek', and that you're gonna quit smoking~ :) Good luck!

Ooo also, Kim, what books ya got??

[Mon Chat]

chances are i'll hed down for the june 7th meeting

good luck molly! my friend says that this helped her a lot:
giving up timeline (http://i28.tinypic.com/15wgos5.jpg)

[koshime]

ze only drawback to a friday...issss (there is shit loads of people in nandos and on the streets...
which is less a problem if we go early)

[Noë]

@ Quicksilver: About that graduate fashion show: I searched and got this (http://www.gfw.org.uk/gfw_catsched.html) booking page, but there are so many shows to get a ticket for... Which one(s) would you prefer?

Love
Marleen

P.S. I don't care if the meet is a friday or a saturday, I'm there either way ofcourse ^^

[Mogster]

well if im lucky i could pitch up at nandos early, maby 4'ish

[danlop]

I could get there early and get us a table, not sure if I can make it at 4 but definitively 5 or so... is that good?

Hey Kim, what about a basket game on sunday? anyone?

[aefx]

ha, 4 is taking the piss... that's not even dinner time yet. At anyrate I can do Friday but won't be able to make it til 6:30.

[Mogster]

it was jsut an idea since i'll be in london most of the day probebly.

[sketchling]

danlop : im keen!! :)

friday nandos? sounds good. friday is usually pretty crazy, so we will need to know numbers pretty definiely...or they get antsy with 2 ppl taking up an 8 person table for 2 hours.

[danlop]

yeah, I was thinking about the table too, but I guess I could order something and take my time eating until you guys come, that shouldn't be a problem.

daveneale: Once you mentioned some basketball courts near your place? we should organize something in nandos for next sunday (it looks like we are for a sunny weekend!)

[lefran]

i cant now - i need a certain weekend off to go on holidays, and theyve put me in for that weekend of the meet instead now to make up the time :(

[Mogster]

Well my brother will pitch up again later in the evening aswell so thats an extra head. i guess we can sorta make the meeting time 5/5:30+

[koshime]

Looks like daniel can sort thigns out for us, and because he has buddies in nandos....

[sleep]

i really hope i can make it ....but its not looking likely, because round about that time is my art and english exams....we'll see...

[Molly]

So, we are meeting on Thurs or Fri????
Thursday is better, as Friday will be packed, no matter how early you get there, as been said, theres no way the staff would let you sit there waiting....

Oh, I have written a Poem, in the main Lounge, in the thread 'Lets Be Nice To Each Other' there's two posts, and well, I hoped someone would crit my english writing.....

[Noë]

From Eindhoven (EIN) to London (Stansted) (STN)

Lol :) gotta love time difference ^^
So I'm arriving thursday morning, so I can make it at thursday as well ^^

Love
Marleen.

[danlop]

I think Molly is right, and if Noë can make it as well on thursday I guess we could do it tomorrow. Agreed?

[Noë]

Wowowow :P are we talking about two different things here? I think we are..
I'll be in london from the 5th of June until the 11th of June. So it was thursday the 5th I was talking about. I'm just replying to Quicksilvers idea of a meeting Friday the 6th or saturday the 7th..

I guess I didn't read through carefully enough to see that there's gonna be something this week as well.. I thought the day discussion was about the 5, 6th or 7th ^^..
Ah well, I'll just blame it on English not being my first language :P

Love
Marleen

[Mogster]

Noe yea were talking about this thursday/friday, if its on thursday count me out will take me over 2 hours just to get there after work.

[daveneale]

Dan...yeah man we have lovely courts all over the place round here:)....I've had some issues with my hand the last month or so though so I'm trying not to do any more damage to it and I always seem to get injured when I play B'ball...if there's a crew though I can just bring my ball and doodle by the side of the court;) the tate has that stuff on too if your on about this sunday, and there's a very nice Nando's near-by with lovely huge arched ceilings:)....I'm occupied till later on Sunday, but I'll be about later afternoon/evening time:)

[koshime]

OK. well to finally decide the Thursday/Friday debate.

We're actually going to be busy in the studio tommorow. So can only make the Friday nandos

[danlop]

Friday it is then, I'll be there from 5 onwards.

Dave we can arrange something on friday for sunday then :) (it's been ages since the last time I played!)

[Quicksilver]

Marleene: I picked Saturday in the end so the working folks can make it during the day :) And about the Fashion Show, one of my mates will be helping out with the Bournemouth (1pm) one so I was gonna check that one out, though I heard De Montfort's (3:30pm) meant to be pretty good too, and they're the only uni in Britain to do Shoe Design. Dunno! Been meaning to call my sis to see if she can make it, since she studies Fashion. Also, I still need to figure out where the hell I'm gonna sleep, aarrgghh so much money.....

So all in all....I'll get back to you when I get a few things sorted out ^_^;;

[daveneale]

you'll have to organise and let me know.....I'm gonna be out boogying friday night (well, at least knocking a beer or 3 back) so cant make sketching-next time I'd better not be busy, have missed a few now:)

[Gilles]

Hi, since I live in the UK now I might as well attend a meeting if that's okay with you folks?! I'm still looking for an excuse to go and visit London, I do need to wait till I get paid though. So, sometime in June I can make the trip down East.

I hope you guys don't meet up once every two months because I'm quite impatient ;)

Cheers.

[Mogster]

Gilles - well we are organising a big gettogether on the 7th of june or so.

[Gilles]

Mogster - That would be perfect for me, I'll keep my eye on this thread for updates on that gettogether! Thanks.

[Quicksilver]

Marleene! Don't think I can afford to make the Fashion Show, soz - money is a bit tight atm so I'll only be able to stay in London on the Saturday 'til late afternoon/early evening.

Are there any exhibitions going on in particular which would be worth lookin' at on the 7th?

[sketchling]

ello all... just a random heads up to you all, just in case anyone be interested in buying my 24" imac? 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB serialATA500gig hdd. Bought it only a year ago for 1900 cause I maxed everything out on it. Typical. was top notch...god how things scream past you in the tech specs. Oh, and my tablets coming up for sale also... but tekura's reserved dibs on that... :D

[Quicksilver]

Why don't we move the meeting from Nandos to your house, that way we can rifle through your things and offer you money :teeth:

[danlop]

Molly: Yeah, I'm working on something so I can get there at 5, order something and work until the people gets there.

sketchling : Id like to have a look at those conceptart books, might end up buying 1 or 2 :)

It looks like is going to be quite a few of us tonight. See you at nandos.

[Quicksilver]

Glad you're feeling better, Tek', and that you're gonna quit smoking~ :) Good luck!

Ooo also, Kim, what books ya got??
K, page before that then :) Thread moves really quickly with MSN-like chats of London gatherings.


So who's taking part in DEEP, eh? I might give it a go!

[Gilles]

Badger, Great! I was starting to think everyone lived in London. We need to gather sometime in Brizzle then!

[Ezidof]

hey guys, I cant make it this time around but i would like to meet up with some fellow conceptorg ers in london some other time and go sketching and stuff :)

[Mon Chat]

I think I have a drama exam on the 7th. I am royally gutted.

I think I have a drama exam on the 7th. I am royally gutted.If you pretend that you're sick do you get extra credit? :D

[koshime]

score!

[Mon Chat]

well I suppose its acting... the people I have to work with are such wankers! URGH! I just dont know yet (it may be a theory one)... oh, and in camden theres a comic expo next weekend, mostly web comics, but really good stuff! :)

[Mogster]

dibs on sketchlings sketchbook :D \o/

[koshime]

Anyone know if Indy is pantz or so so?

[Hybridstar]

I really enjoyed it. Completely rekindled the feel of the other movies and is a lot better than temple of doom!!!!! Doesnt take itself too seriously and not the same character development seen in Raiders but well worth the ticket price. Made me feel like a kid again. 3.5 outta 5 from me.

[Mon Chat]

just heared the review on front row... they said they loved the first 20 mins or so... and then they babbled like childeren

radio 4 reduced to a playground

[koshime]

Saw it today. Enjoyed the first half. Unfortunately ironman hits a homerun even with its plot holes vs Indy 4. a 3/5 for me

btw - live transcript of The Hobbit production here (http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=107152#107152)

[Mon Chat]

Hot piss thats gunna be good :D (if only for the sake of smaug) i think im off to see indy today... how exciting!

[koshime]

have fun!

[Mon Chat]

A rather sexy thought has just occored... Guillermo del toro + WETA making smaug...

edit: did anyone else think to themselves "scientology" when they watched the indiana jones film?

[aefx]

For Daniel or anyone else who is interested, I've put my Zoo photos on my Flickr page. Feel free to grab any for reference, just don't distribute them without giving credit please :)

[danlop]

Thanks for the pics James! love the little guy on zoo14 :)

I saw Indy on Saturday, really enjoyed, I mean It's Indy, you don't go there expecting oscar material for scriptwriting right? it is fun, action packed and made me go back 20 years in my memories. Good movie :D

[sleep]

yo james kindly check your private messages,
id like some higher res versions of the photos to stick in my art book thanx

[Molly]

AEFX- great photo's, esp the Barcelona ones, brings back memories. Funny thing, when I went with my other half years ago he brought his camera along. Not once did he take a photo, his excuse being "I take photos everyday for work, why should I do it on holiday?" So, seeing your pix is a nice touch....:)

[Mon Chat]

Any of you guys seen the front of the tate moern recently? I love the face by blu

[Mogster]

yea went by there last sat watched some of the bmxing aswell.

Hey T, thanks for taking a look. If you're interested there some pics from recent trips to Paris and Berlin that I will upload when I am not lazy, hopefully soon.

[Crush]

Manchester people, we have a Dr Sketchys thingy now! :D

http://www.myspace.com/drsketchysmanchester

I've not been to it yet but I'm gonna try and make the next one (theyre only once a month apparently, on the last wednesday of it)

[Mogster]

Crush - thats cool I see guys have models and everything, a while back we were discussing on using models etc specially (not nudes) but lotsa cloth and how clothes drapes etc..

[Kian]

Looks alright that Jeremy, My colleague and I'll probably pop along to the next one.

[Gilles]

So, is there still going to be a meeting this weekend in London?

[Quicksilver]

Yup yup, just deciding on where to meet :)

[Noë]

Right :)
So where do we want to meet?
All suggestions of great exhibitions, or small things to attend are appreciated.
I myself thought to go hang in a park (Local Londoners: which one is nice?) and go for a drink and a bite later, and maybe visit a not so huge exhibition?

Also: what would be a good place to meet up?

Love
Marleen.

As far as parks go. I like St. James Park and Regents Park. St. James is smaller and closer to touristy stuff and Regents Park is much bigger, more varied, and you can walk along the canal into Camden.

[Molly]

- lets hope the weather holds out for the weekend folks!
So - now, where to meet!?! :D

Mx

[Gilles]

Can we meet up at the Tate Modern? Or Paddington station... (that's where I arrive)

[ciots]

naomi asked me whether i was going to the meet, i competely forgot about the meets...so i might pop by this time..

[Mon Chat]

holds out! hopefully london is nothing like north bucks at the moment... i got totally drenched running for a bus...

but i'll see if i can come down this weekend too! looks like a lot of funn :D

[Mogster]

well the weather pradictions for the month doesnt look very good. But hey we'll see im up for anything really.

[Mon Chat]

should be okay, i'ts cleared up now...

[Noë]

I looked up the weather forecast and it says "sunny and 23 degrees C", so that sounds allright. If it starts to rain we can always find a café or restaurant or something?

This is weird to do since I have no idea of how the city looks, and what is a good point to meet up, but this is my proposal:
- We meet up at noon, at Regent's Park Underground station at the exit (There is only one exit I hope??)
- Then we go into the park if the weather is nice, find a nice place to sit (and maybe some interesting landscape to draw?) and have some fun.

I'm not sure if the meeting place is a good one. Please help me with that ^^ it might be easier to meet up somewhere more central and decide from there where we go?

Love
Marleen.

Works for me.

[Gilles]

So what exactly is the plan... because I'm still not sure.

I would like to know some things before I spend 40 quid on a train ticket :)
-Who's coming?
-Where do we meet?
-What is the plan for the evening?

[sketchling]

there is a meet? damn. Im gonna be in morrocco this weekend. well, not that im sad about that, but its a pity to miss the meet. :) Enjoy it everyone!

[koshime]

people meet up and get lairy....

[Noë]

So I guess I'll have to make this official:
London meet Saturday 7th of June
- We meet up at noon (12 AM), at Regent's Park Underground station at the exit I'll write CA in my moleskine and hold it up :P
- We hang around Regent's park, and decide from there how to spend the evening
- People who will be there:
Noe (Marleen)
Quicksilver (Naomi)
(please copy the list and write the people underneath that you know are coming)

If anyone has anything to add to this, please say so.
Love
Marleen

[RosemaryDarling]

Hello. I'm Rose, based in Essex.

I'm now an ex-student(just finished) who is a little terrified for the first time in her life. I'd definitely like to be part of a group of UK artists, people more talented and less green than me. :)

[Mon Chat]

welcome :) you'll get all variaties of colours here :)

[sleep]

welcome rose,the more the merrier.
tell us a bit more about yourself
ambitions, etc

[dcorc]

Thought I ought to say "hi" here too. Name's Dave, I'm in London, and I'm trying (in my mid/late 40s) to transition over into fine art. My background is in academic biomedicine, but in recent years have moved out of that area, and have been/am involved in (running) various other online sites for artists. I'm mainly interested in oil-painting, but currently want to improve my own drawing and colour approaches. I also have some experience in 2D and 3D computer graphics. I look in here at CA quite a bit, and make occasional posts. However, conscious that I'm older than most of the membership here (and, I get the impression, most of the UK'ers posting in this thread).


Dave

[DannySketch]

hello everyone, havent been around these parts for a while, glad to see everyones so active, rose i am an essex lad meself, where abouts are you?

[Calader]

yeap it'lt was a nice meeting, and it actualy made me draw something during the weeken :)...hello the the new ppl, I'm also kinda new for here

hey Naomi thanks for the link I'll try and get one next time I go in this direction

[RosemaryDarling]

Well, I'm 24 and I've just finished a degree in Digital Animation, which I think I've done well in. But, I'd really like to become a better illustrator, and maybe work in character design for the gaming industry. I'm just not good enough yet.

[Stoat]

Dave, I'm staring at the business end of 50 and about to start over career-wise, too, so you aren't entirely alone. Unfortunately, I have to sell my house in the States before I can join you all. And that's ever so much fun to do right now.

Good thing I drink.

[Mogster]

good luck with that Stoat, hope to see ya around here sometime.

[Stoat]

Thanks, Mogster. We sold up in London, so I'll be down in Sussex when I finally do make it.

It's the weirdest thing. It's like being 7 again or something. I've had a corporate job for the last 25 years, and now I (finally!) have to work out what I want to be when I grow up.

[Mogster]

Yea I had that too when I moved over to the uk by myself, its quite daunting.

I'm also down near sussex, just north in surrey.

[koshime]

Good to see all the new blood in UK. Hope to see you all sometime soon if you're in london area

[markey2d]

good luck Stoat with watever u decide to do, not that u need luck cause i've see ur skills. impressive.

[Mon Chat]

hey guys i got involved in a project!

http://www.arthousecoop.com/sketchbookproject

any ideas how I can save the world?

[strybjorn]

seeing as people have been (recently) making their introductions, im thinking i better get in on the act - ive been here long enough...

so, yeah... im living in Oxford at the moment being paid for doing some form of art related shit, tho im looking to move....somewhere else, hopefully to do something more arty :)

its good to see so many uk based artists around - there seems to be so few in Oxford, just posh hobby artists... tho i guess London is close enough to get to for the artist vibe. i should really get down there at somepoint. maybe to a Dr Sketchy session or something - anyone been to one of those? any good?

[Stoat]

Hmmm, Boswell. Save the world, eh?

It's overwhelmingly tempting to fill the sketchbooks with, like, weapons designs or something, isn't it? Just because I totally doubt that's the sort of experience they're looking for here.

Oooh! How about these guys? They're pretty. These are Yersinia pestis, the plague bacillus. (Sorry. It's something like 98 degrees F here today for the third day running and I'm a touch crabby).

[Mon Chat]

@stoat... actually, funny you should post a picture of those, because my first page looks just like that!

im trying desperatly not to draw superheroes...

[sleep]

London is close enough to get to for the artist vibe. i should really get down there at somepoint. maybe to a Dr Sketchy session or something - anyone been to one of those? any good?

yeah i went to one a few months back. i cant speak for other cities, but my experience of dr. sketchys in london wasnt too impressive.


- the model was getting progressively more drunk through the night. she couldnt sit still for half a second initially so this didnt help
- the emphasis is on humour and 'fun' rather than any sort of art- the guy isnt there to teach you to draw, hes there to make jokes and be gay
- the poses are all very very short. the longest was 15 minutes- most were only a couple
- few people there could really draw- at the end of the night there was a competition for best piece of the night and i won..despite being the youngest there and having created a load of bollocks even by my low standards. the oil paints i won were just the worst quality ever and not worth opening
- its a tenner. life drawing classes are usually cheaper, better structured and you actually get taught-i reccommend those instead

dont expect to learn anything basically. im sure its good for most of the other people that went- i was just expecting something a bit more academic cos im a geek. its probably good for a laugh if your going with a couple mates and you have a few drinks (its hosted in a pub) but i could think of funner things to do for a tenner

[Molly]

seemed like a waste of money to me...

[Mon Chat]

wow, just got back from oxford... why not have some sketchmeets there? its awesome awesome awesome! :)

[lefran]

J.Boswell- theres been a few in the past in Oxford at the animal museum place which was cool, but sure an oxford meet again would be cool- maybe get someone of those who've gone into seclusion out of the woodwork like eriboss

[Quicksilver]

I'd be up for an Oxford meet! :D Didn't make the most of the museum last time...

[Mogster]

wouldnt mind that either but i'd have to take a few days of work and maby find accomadation... hmm i'll have to plot something.

[strybjorn]

nice! i guess one of the good things about Oxford is that people are always up for coming here... :D

where did you guys check out last time you were here? the history museum with all the animals is definately cool (but not as good as the Pitt Rivers museum thats attached to it - the victorian collection of random stuff picked up in the days of Empire is awesome) and theyve even got one of these (http://www.dysonairblade.co.uk/) in the toilet for those with a love of industial design

Ive also been hitting up the Ashmolean museum during my lunch hours doing some cast studies - theyve got quite a few good busts (:perv:) along with some rodin and degas sculptures... highly recommended

lots of museums = good


shame about Dr Sketchys being shit tho - cheers for giving the review Tie, saved me from going there and getting annoyed

[Mon Chat]

any time before the 16th of july is good :) costs me peanuts to get there :)

@lefran - isn't the animal museum in tring?

[Quicksilver]

Didn't we go to the Natural History Museum (http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/)?

Also, I don't mind when we go so long as there's enough notice beforehand so people can book time off work.

[Mon Chat]

wow, way cool! well i have crappy drama stuff until the 25th of june... how about the 28th - 29th of june? too soon?

[Quicksilver]

I think I'll be alright for that weekend actually - will be looking for a job when I head back to Bournemouth but I kinda doubt I'll find one THAT quickly :P So yah, 28th/29th June sounds cool if there are any affordable hotels there. Otherwise a day trip wouldn't hurt :)

[Mogster]

Well that'll be an interesting weekend. my Bday is on the 27th ;p yea now.. to see if i actually have any cash in the bank.

[Mon Chat]

look for b and b's in the surrounding area's might yeald better results than oxford proper, and there were these buses that ran direct from london (for anyone in london) called the oxford tube...

nice coffee shop in st aldates street, good place to meet? (called george and danver)

also, I think I mentioned a book binding link when we were in nodnol.

me and jon are in prague that weekend, but i'll try come to the next one

[danlop]

Hi guys, Next wednesday I'll fly to Colombia to do all the paper work for my job in Barcelona so my time in London is over, these days have been really weird as I have mixed feelings about leaving, on one side is sad to go (after all I've been here for 2 good years) but on the other one I'm quite exited about the Job in Spain... In any case I really want to thank you all for your friendship and your help with my drawings, without a doubt I've grown as an artist thanks to your constructive help guys and for that you have my deepest gratitude. I'll be dropping by to say hi from time to time.

Take care you all!! :)

[daveneale]

Has been cool hanging with you at the few meets I've made it to....have fun with it all man, I'm sure you'll have a ball! buena suerte

[Mon Chat]

Edit; bye danlop! best of luck!

[Molly]

Danlop - It was great meeting you. You will do fantastically well in Spain, Barcelona is a beautiful city, with plenty to see. (make sure you go to the Opera Cafe or Cafe Opera on La Rambla - they do the BEST hot chocolate...)

I hope you do pop in here from time to time, it would be great to keep up with how your getting on. All the best friend, maybe we all come over to see you? lol

Take care

Also, does anyone still wanna have an Oxford meet? Next weekend was suggested. What day(s) can most of you make it?


Can't make Oxford treacle, heading to France this weekend, then Italy after, so away for 2 weeks....

I went last night and it was fantastic! what a great venue! yea it is basically art with beers...big bottles of Magners are £4 there, which for London prices is very reasonable! I highly recommend going. Its cheaper tonight than the weekend though, and is only open till about 1 tonight compared with 3 at the weekend.

Last night there was breaks and chilled dance music with the bar, then live jazz out near the art, there was a 20 min beatboz documentary shown in the video section, a live performance, and lots of crazy art and animations.

go! :D
