纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) for art of rebellion “workflow”

Posted: April 16th, 2012 | Author: Adeline | Filed under: event, personal work, workflow | Tags: , , , | Comments Off

This print was made in reference to a character in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”.

It is a vietnam war film featuring a group of marines life during that period.
Private Joker was the protagonist, always boasting about being a killing machine, teaching others how to get hookers,
when he never had any actual experience – he was merely a war journalist soldier.

I thought he fit the description of 纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) pretty well, and decided to do a paperdoll painting showing his various facial expressions,
quotable quotes, and ironic personality.

i painted the characters and body parts separately, then scanned and combined them on the computer.

This art work is part of the “The Art of Rebellion: 造反有理 “ exhibiton organised by StudioKALEIDO ( http://www.studiokaleido.net )

See the rest of the pictures here: http://on.fb.me/IrjLpV

24 artists and 3 poets execute a contemporary exploration of Chinese culture; a play on the power of idiomatic suggestion.

Lilian Lee X OIC human 360º camera zoetrope

Posted: March 22nd, 2012 | Author: mindflyer | Filed under: OIC Portrait Day, collab, event, event photos, experimental, video | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

As part of OIC’s challenge to its Portrait After Dark participants to have fun and to draw and think “different” – Lilian suggested that we can organise a special session to get enough drawings to make an illustrated zoetrope. A total of 26 artists participated and many wonderful portraits from very angle were produced.

Lilian kindly enlisted her friends to help her record the process via video and photographs and also to “stitched” all the collected drawings together.

Here is the final video

Here is the “making-of” video

See the photos of the event here on our FaceBook page. ( Do remember to “LIKE” us )

Special thanks to:

Lillian Lee –  for the conducting the “experiment” with us and for buying all the drawings too!
( see her other fun side projects here: http://axemarksthespot.blogspot.com/http://whomovedmyfckinwords.tumblr.com/ )

Her friends who helped to make this experiment a success – Neal (video) , Fee ( image )

And not forgetting our 26 sporting participating artists!
Can’t wait for the next “experiment”!
