Un dessin de décembre 2013 pour une exposition un peu verte

Dessin frais du marché ensoleillé ce matin. C’est la deuxième aquarelle de ce poisson faite sur leur stand, mais les perches de Hollande sont rares à l’étal, et leurs nageoires orangées tellement aguicheuses…

Comme les autres maisons de “haute standing” on a le plaisir de trouver loin en distance mais proche au niveaux de sang, notre prochaine artiste, l’incontournable Matilde BRUGNI. Photographe par formation, vidéaste par compulsion, elle présente deux séries photographiques :  ‘pont’ et ‘perdue’ en addition aux vidéos.

In residence for a week at the Hôtel we present the work of Matilde BRUGNI, photographer from Lyon, France. Mlle Brugni’s work focuses on the landscape of humanity, figures that seem to reflect our own strangeness on this planet, as well as signs, accidental at times, that we leave during our visit on Earth. We will present as well a series of videos.

Cendrillon a l’œil au beurre noir et Marge Simpson le nez en sang... Dans une série intitulée What kind of man are you ("Quel genre d'homme es-tu ?"), le dessinateur italien AleXsandro Palombo dénonce sur son blog les violences conjugales à travers les héros des cartoons et dessins animés populaires, relève le site du magazine Madame Le Figaro.

Sans texte d'introduction – seule une courte légende présente les personnages –, l'artiste inverse les rôles et adapte la vie de ces figures imaginaires à la vie réelle, quelques jours avant la Journée internationale de la femme, le 8 mars.

Une Française sur dix est victime de violences conjugales, selon le ministère des droits des femmes. En Europe, un tiers des femmes sondées ont été victimes de violences physiques ou sexuelles depuis l'âge de 15 ans, selon une enquête conduite par l'Union européenne et dévoilée mercredi 5 mars.

En parallèle, le dessinateur a fait les portraits de ces couples, (presque) souriants et heureux, en apparence. En France, 20 % seulement des victimes se au poste de police ou à la gendarmerie, toujours selon le ministère des droits des femmes.

Le dessinateur a déjà détourné ces personnages fictifs pour représenter le handicap dans les dessins animés pour enfants, regrettant notamment l'absence de personnages handicapés dans les films Disney, relève le Huffington Post.

Nearly 20 years after he finished the beloved comic strip Calvin & Hobbes, Bill Watterson has gone back to the drawing board for one more panel. Watterson has contributed the movie poster for Stripped, a new documentary about cartoonists struggling with the death of newspapers and the future of the medium. There, he joins such a host of fellow comic strip legends such as Jim Davis of Garfield fame, Cathy Guisewite of Cathy, and Bill Amend of Foxtrot, not to mention their internet successors at Penny Arcade, The Oatmeal, and many others. According to the directors, the movie contains Watterson's first recorded interview.

Regardless of what he says on tape, it's refreshing to see that Watterson's work hasn't lost its charm. In the movie...

durée : 00:59:40 - SAMEDI NOIR - Dans le cadre de la convention France Culture - Comédie Française "De vrais sketches avec des vrais morceaux de bravoure entiers reliés entre eux par une bassesse d'inspiration qui volera au-dessous de la ceinture du moindre nain [.] " annonçait Desproges en 1986. Avec ce spectacle, Christian Gonon prolonge les salves tirées par Desproges contre la médiocrité humaine. Extraits des Chroniques de la haine ordinaire sur France-Inter, de La Minute nécessaire de monsieur Cyclopède sur France 3 et de son livre Vivons heureux en attendant la mort, aucun des textes choisis ne fut conçu pour la scène. Sauf un, resté inédit, la mort l'ayant finalement pris par surprise.

Rokuro Taniuchi's illustrated covers for the Weekly Shincho (Japan, circa 1956-1981) 1964 These scans are courtesy of Jimoto and his stunning site Dassaishooku. I hope to highlight a few more of his posts in the coming months. Rokuro Taniuchi (or Roku, as he signed his paintings) is one of my favorite illustrators from any time and any place. Some of his work has been reprinted and is available from amazon.co.jp. Previous posts on this artist My note from the first post I did on Roku in October 2008:I discovered the incredible Japanese illustrator Rokuro Taniuchi (1921–81) while searching for Tadanori Yokoo books. On the Amazon listing for this profusely-illustrated book—Taniuchi Rokuro Gensouki (Shinshindo, 1981)—Yokoo is listed as the editor. The book seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found it. Through some creative googling of Japanese characters, I did manage to dig up an archive [link now dead]. Comparing the book to this site, I discovered that many of the images were originally made for the Weekly Shincho. I think others must surely be illustrations for children's books. The artist dated some of the works: late 40s / early 50s. The book includes an insert promoting the "Unicorn Color Series." Has anyone heard of this series? I plan to do another post from this book—it is too good not to share. 1968 1973 1956 1963 1969 1978 1977 1981 1972 1960 1958 1970 1972 1975 1979 1980 1964 1965 1967 1962 1976 1977 1976 1961 Previous posts on this artist This post first appeared on February 17, 2014 on 50 Watts

Quand il ne fait pas son travail d’illustration pour des clients, Hama House, un artiste basé à Tokyo, réalise des croquis de personnes à Tokyo et les prend en photo pour les publier sur Instagram. Si vous suivez un petit peu mon activité numérique, vous n’aurez pas manqué de remarquer que pour moi, Instagram c’est le royaume du dessin et vous comprendrez alors pourquoi j’aime réellement ce projet ! 

Les dessins de Hama House

Vous aurez reconnu son style, Hama House esquisse rapidement un contour, le rempli en quelques détails, puis ajoute une touche finale  : une photo Instagram du sujet en arrière-plan du dessin. Et ça, ça fait tout ! :-)

Satoshi Kon had amazing attention to detail, which becomes all the more apparent when his illustrations are isolated to just black and white. I selected these line arts from Kon’s Works 1982-2010 because of the different kinds of clutter in each work, and the way it makes your eyes ‘search’ the illustration, not looking for anything in particular yet marveling at what you do find.

It’s not every day we come across work which is as equally baffling as it is brilliant, leaving us no option but to write to its creator and ask what on Earth is happening here! So when Erwan Fichou’s photographs of people stood in freshly cut topiary trees arrived in our lives, a magic combination of curiosity and admiration got us asking questions.

Both Becky and Joe found it hard to pick their ultimate favourite music video for this feature. This is funny because only the other day a few of us at It’s Nice That decided that Becky and Joe were officially, hands down our favourite video makers. Are you one of the 14 million people that have watched Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared? If so then you’ll probably agree with us. Here they are telling us about which videos they hold dear to their strange but hilarious little hearts.

Long out of press, The Walker Brothers‘ bizarre and brilliant 1978 full-length Nite Flights has finally been re-issued.

Chicago indie imprint Tizona have done the hard work, and have managed to obtain an official license to put the album back on the shelves once more, even stopping to spruce up the original audio. Dead Rider’s Todd Rittmann was in control of the remastering, and the tracks sound better than ever.

Nite Flights was the trio’s final album and is often looked at as a collection of three miniature solo records rather than a more coherent, collaborative whole. Each member wrote a chunk of the songs, and they’re sequenced as such, with Scott Walker‘s harrowing contributions (which are remarkably close in sound to his later Tilt) hitting first. It’s an astonishing album – diverse and occasionally confusing, and it’s befuddling that the record has managed to stay out of print for so long. It was put out on CD back in 2007, but apart from that has been largely ignored by the hulking re-issue machine.

If you aren’t sure exactly where to start with Scott Walker’s sprawling catalogue, FACT’s Angus Finlayson recently compiled a guide to the mercurial singer’s greatest work, and you can take a look here.

Nite Flights is out now on Tizona.

Tracklist:

01 Shutout
02 Fat Mama Kick
03 Nite Flights
04 The Electrician
05 Death of Romance
06 Den Haague
07 Rhythms of Vision
08 Disciples of Death
09 Fury and the Fire
10 Child of Flames

These might look like a collection of oil paints but these tubes of “paint” are good enough to eat. Designed by Nendo to look like a set of oils, Chocolate-Paint is a limited edition design created for Seibu Department Store in Japan in hopes of giving you the same childhood excitement you had when you opened up a new box of paints. This time, the surprise is even tastier.

The sets contain tube-shaped chocolates filled with a variety of flavored syrups that are named on each label. The labels act as wrappers that you hold onto while eating so you don’t get your fingers dirty.

We’re going to keep celebrating the launch of the Winter issue of Printed Pages until we’re vomiting sand, so you’d better get used to it. At least in this celebration you get the added treat of music, sweet music. For this issue we commissioned It’s Nice That Graduate and all-round talented, magical man Edward Monaghan to create a visual mixtape for us. He selected five of his favourite songs and set about illustrating each one with spectacular results.
