New Blog Posters and most recent show.

2008-09-11T17:45:00.002-04:00

Soon, both Jujob and Pyscho68 will be posting info as well. Please be sure to welcome them once they get going as well.

Hopefully, adding more posters should add a lot more info more often because as you know I tend to fall on the side of slow posting. Jujob has always been a part of the Copyright Propaganda team and Psycho68 has known both of us for a long time and has just recently added his own talent to the team. He has some awesome pen and ink drawings that I am really excited to show off here as soon as I pry them from him for scanning.

Also, as mentioned in the title, Copyright Propaganda has had its 1st show in over a year. The Gallery 308 in Muncie, IN. recently began hosting our show. Myself and Jujob both created numerous pieces for this show and as is the case with our newest member's work we are patiently waiting photos to come in from various sources before we can throw some work up here. The opening went very well as we had over 100 people attend. The show will be up for a month and if you are in the Muncie area or even down towards Indianapolis you should drop in and see it. They are open wed - sat noon to 5:30.

New Scratcboard Project.

2007-08-06T00:16:00.001-04:00

I recently began some new scratchboards. I thought I would post the beginning of these 2 so that you call could see the process involved. I'll post further progress as I go along.

This is the beginning of a fairly large closeup of myself. The shape should define itself much more as I go a long.

I Recently found some very nice artwork that I did a year ago. I will scan that in tommorow and try to get it up here for everyone to see as well.

Expired Polaroids

2006-08-29T13:36:00.000-04:00

You know how they always tell you not to use expired products? I have just found a reason to ignore that warning. My wife received a Polaroid camera and a lot of expired film. Some of it over 7 years old. These are the results.

Experimental Joker 2

2006-08-24T23:46:00.000-04:00

This is the second experiment in using filters. Its a combination of 3 different images I had in my files. The technique is hard to explain. The basic thing to know is that you can take a picture in Photoshop, use Polar Coordinates under filters/distort. Choose either "rectangular to polar" or "polar to rectangular." Then do whatever you want to the image. You can then add other filters, effects, bring in more source photos, etc. Use Polor coordinates again choosing the other option. This reverts the original image back to the shape it started in, but stretches and warps everything you did. I found this technique when looking for a way to create wind on an image. Unfortunately, I cannot find the original tutorial to provide a proper link and credits to the originator. I have adapted the effect and method to suit my own needs.

I have always been against the heavy use of filters because they tend to bring about bad habits. I have often seen many fledgling photo manipulation program users fall into the trap of using filters and nothing else to create their work. They just grab the first one in the list and use it to death. As a result I shied away from them. This is my attempt to bring filters back to my repertoire. It is the result of a combination of various filters used in Photoshop.

Chipotle!

The world may never know what plans the burrito giant has in store for us.

Ahh Big Boy... that ever elusive man child with the giant plastic burger. Will he ever grow up?

I drew these once during Lent while waiting on our server to arrive with my pancakes and eggs. The odd creepy look of these fish sandwhiches just begged to be brought out. Made me think twice about eating.

There is something about a placemat that makes it one of the most wonderful things to draw on. We do it to impress our friends, to show off to the people that walk by, or maybe just to try to catch that elusive nugget of inspiration. Many of my ideas are hashed out on the back of these humble protectors.

Sometimes on the front.....

The Time to Begin

2006-08-20T19:40:00.000-04:00

Well i missed the boat on weblogs along time ago. Finally one has slowed down enough that I might jump on.

CopyrightPropaganda is the name of an artist collective which as of this post consists of myself and another artist by the name of JuJob. CP was created in an effort to create and educate. We will be posting our own work and that of others that inspire us. Since I do live in Cincinnati, I will be spotlighting local shows (art or otherwise) including reviews, dates times etc.

We'll to start with a quick sample of my work. This piece was created in Adobe Illustrator.

It was part of a show. we had at the 1305 Gallery(1305 Main St. in the Over-the-Rhine district of Cincinnati,Oh). It also included the work of talented artist and owner of the 1305 gallery Lily Mulberry.

Last words for today...
Have fun, make art and come back often!
