for hungry artists: a 4.23 lookbook

There’s some­thing to be said about op­por­tu­ni­ty as an artist. There’s more to said about those who don’t take op­por­tu­ni­ties as an artist.

So, there is a ONE NIGHT ONLY FLOMM event go­ing on 4.23 and there is go­ing to be LIVE COS­PLAY­ERS there to draw. In cos­tume. Us­ing an idea bor­rowed from what was a re­al­ly pop­u­lar life draw­ing se­ries that had a ton of fans in Sacra­men­to, artist Ben Walk­er’s Pomp­si­cle.

Cool, right?
Well, I have a sick­en­ing sus­pi­cion that so many artists are go­ing to let this ONE-TIME-ONLY op­por­tu­ni­ty pass them. Be­cause that’s what typ­i­cal­ly sep­a­rates the artists from the WANT-TO-BEs.

It’s all about Practice . . .

4.23’s LIFE­DRAW­ING COS­PLAY seg­ment will of­fer (in ad­di­tion to a huge line up of printing/art/músik) the abil­i­ty to:

!!    Work on your pro­por­tions and anatomy
!!    Work on your cloth­ing and drapery
!!    Get cri­tique from your peers, in­clud­ing myself
!!    Get in some good pen­cil mileage
!!    Have real live ref­er­ence for char­ac­ter creation
!!    Make some new friends
!!    Po­ten­tial­ly get some home­work done

(I know a bunch of artists who have char­ac­ter-based art class­es right now)

I’m look­ing at those of you who are hungry,
those who are passionate,
those who care enough about your­selves and your work to make the ef­fort to be there to work with those around you.

LIFE DRAW­ING in cos­tume is a per­fect op­por­tu­ni­ty to see how CLOTH­ING re­al­ly looks – be­yond the stan­dard NUDES we nor­mal­ly draw.

And
in ad­di­tion to the va­ri­ety of
steam­punk + su­per­heroes that’ll be posing,
here’s a LOOK­BOOK of some of the modernist/flommist COS styles 
we’re hop­ing to get in­spired from/recreate/see on 4.23  .   .   .
