Tattoo Q2: January 2010

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Studio Hitch

It would seem that our fledgling art collective has run into something of a hitch with regards to our new studio space in the middle of Shoreditch, London. The person with whom we had been dealing and who had assured us that we could move in this weekend would appear to have been less than well informed himself as to the actual availability of the property. Oh well, such is life.

This clever flickr user created a time lapse photo that also panned through the living room by mounting it on a ticking timer

Observation

AT&T Uverse loves to push paperless billing [which I've signed up for] and loves to talk about how doing that for you helps you and them go green. Yet at the same time, they just started sending me a glossy magazine-sized program guide every month.

D&D Prison Ban [quick link]

Over on the NYTimes blog and across the internet, everyone's talking about the ban that one prison put on Dungeon and Dragons. You can read about the ridiculousness here on their story about the appeal that was recently denied:

Dungeons & Dragons Prison Ban Upheld [NYTimes]

Guess now they're going to have to play Aces and Eights or Call of Cthulhu.

This landscape is not a photograph. Well it is, but it's a scale model rather than nature.

This was on MAKE today. It's not a photograph but instead is a scale model. The artist writes:

"This model is simply made out of faux fur (fields), cotton (clouds) and sifted tile grout(mountains). The perspective is forced as in all of my images, and the lighting effect was created by simply shifting the white balance."

Matthew Albanese's website has a whole lot more of his great stuff.

Orange and blue are popular movie poster colors

This is one of those things that I know I'm going to see everywhere now. More at the source website [ads potentially NSFW] via a somethingawful thread

I think Into the Blue wins most blatant

Colored Pencil Time!

I want to make something like this some day. Except just a big sphere. The artist has a whole bunch of cool things like this.

In other colored pencil news, my dad linked the very cool Prismacolor colored pencils color chart to me. Go to their website to check out their whole color chart. It's pretty impressive.

Surely you can't be opposed to looking at some cute teeth once in a while?

My Milk Toof has got it going on. This person that goes by Inhae made some little teeth characters out of polymer clay and posts series of photos that tell a little story about the things that the teeth--icky and Lardee--are up to.

Interviewed For Culture 24

Below is a short extract from Mark Sheerin’s article, ‘Taking a View on London’s East End Art Scene’, written for Culture 24 – the website dedicated to delivering the latest news, exhibition reviews and listings from museums, galleries, archives and libraries around the UK. In this section of the article you can read the results of the interview that I had with Mark when we recently met at CAMP (City Arts and Music Project), where I’m currently exhibiting work in the ‘Botanists of the Asphalt’ show. To check out the full article, where he also talks to Rachel Mapplebeck of Whitechapel Gallery about the changing face of the East End art scene from the 1980’s to now, go to -
http://www.culture24.org.uk/art/art75023 .

(From ‘Taking a View on London’s East End Art Scene’ by Mark Sheerin) -
...Sure enough, at The City Arts and Music Project, artist Wayne Chisnall turns up on his bike. At this bar-cum-gallery near Old Street station, the work now on show is inspired by the urban landscape.
Chisnall talks about his piece, a nightmarish tower made from wood, bone, nails and other found objects. "East London is a rich picking ground for debris," he says. "I think the East End is one of the grubbiest, grimiest parts of London but that's quite a positive thing for me."
It is perhaps also, he agrees, the centre of the art world: "There's so many artists here and everyone's sort of eager to make it and there's a really good energy."
It is hard to disagree, looking around his exciting group show as night falls on City Road and the DJ starts warming up the room. But as the East End gears up for the 2012 Olympics, it is getting harder for artists to find live/work spaces in the area.
Chisnall will have to move studio in January owing to redevelopment, but he remains keen to stay in the East End. It's just as well he is a philosophical sort. "I've always been quite fascinated by that sense that nothing is permanent," he says. "It's all in a state of flux."

First I was impressed, then I looked closer and I was really impressed

Haul Videos / 51 Things Videos

I take my job here at Serial Bus pretty seriously. And when I say seriously I mean I can go days at a time without a new post. That being said, part of my job is to also educate you about what's hip on the internet these days. And here are two videos that I don't so much understand.

1) 51 things in my room. This thing has over 7000 video responses and over 2 million views. It's stupid yet at the same time kinda cool. I get the feeling that everyone that made a video response was like "yeah yeah, ms boxxy lookalike, I see your stuff" and then found themselves making their own little video a few minutes later. It's like Seth Green in Idle Hands except instead of strangling people without being able to control it, you find yourself posting Youtube videos without power to stop yourself.

2) I'll let Brett Elrich educate you on the similar practice of Haul Videos [click on thumbnail below to be taken to video in new window]:

This guy got glasses tattooed onto his face

Via digg. The guy also posted a full flickr photoset

This will look extra ridiculous if, in his old age, he has to wear reading glasses over top of his tattoo glasses. Good ol' six-eyes they'll call him.

Catch 'em all. Check

As posted on Joystiq, this girl (well, she's 21) recently got into the Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest Pokemon collection at over 12000 items. In fact, she says that since it was counted, the number is now up to 13,400 items sprawled through her mom's house. It took her 13 years to amass this collection (so a little more than 1,000 Pokemon things per year).

I think if I had a collection and had the 10 or so Snorlaxes that she has in the upper right hand corner, I would say 'ok, that's enough Snorlaxes and Mudkips now. Think the next thing I will put money toward will be an apartment of my own' "

Telegraph.co.uk also has a small article on Lisa Courtney's Pokemon Center Europe and how it takes over the entirety of her mom's house.

The problem with Craigslist

For work, I post listings to Craigslist. Over the last two months, any post that I post gets flagged and taken down in about an hour. I make sure every post I put up is different, I post with a variety of different headlines, and no matter what I do, I refresh in about an hour and I see that the status bar for that listing has gone from green (active) to red (flagged/deleted). I made sure to follow Craigslist and federal guidelines, but nothing helps.

So far I've had one post stay alive long enough to make it off the front page of results. Within 24 hours of being online, that post got me 4 calls/emails and 1 application, so it drives me to keep trying, but I can't seem to replicate that posting's success. I emailed Craiglist and they haven't responded.

Yet at the same time, somehow miscategorized spam posts like "Yòu can Öwn a home" go unflagged. Not to sound paranoid, but it would seem that someone is out to get me and the unfortunate thing is that if anyone flags anything, it just gets taken right down so there's not much I can do except hoping that next time I put a post online, my nemesis is on lunch.

edit: Tried with 5 more listings. All flagged and deleted. Updated image.
edit2: I'm up to 20 posts in the past 60 days that don't last an hour.

Green Screen Tech

I have to admit, I was surprised that even a network TV show would use green screen technology for something seemingly so simple.

Join the League of Super-duper Artists

OK, it might not be the new hi-tech secret headquarters for a team of crime-fighting super heroes but I am looking for 5 artists to join me in renting a massive live/work space that I’ve found in the heart of Shoreditch, London ('the place to be'). The space is available from the end of this month. It’s the whole of the second floor of an old office block situated halfway between Old Street Tube and Liverpool Street Station – just off Great Eastern Street. The place is massive so there will be loads of space to work and to chill out in. there are already enough rooms off the main open space to use as bed rooms - so we wouldn't have to build our own. Although we should free to make any improvements or alterations that we see fit. There is a good sized kitchen area, a few toilets but only one shower so we’ll either have to make do with that or put another one in ourselves. The rest of the floors are home to a few art collectives and there are roof-top gardens where fruit and veg have previously been grown. I imagine that come Summer, a few barbecues will be taking place up there too.

I'm still waiting for the landlords to get back to me with the actual price but hopefully it will be about £3000 per month (all inclusive) for the whole floor which would work out at £500 per person, per month. I think that they will probably be asking for a month's rent in advance and a months rent as deposit but as I said, I’m still waiting for them to get back to me with the final details.

Obviously I want this to be a positive and creative environment so I’m looking for motivated and productive artists. If you are interested then please get in contact (you can email me at waynechisnall@yahoo.co.uk), telling me a bit about yourself and either send me a couple of images of your work or include your website or blog address and a contact number.

Please feel free to pass this message onto anyone that you think might be suitable and interested.

This explains why "Pants on the Ground" was a trending topic on twitter yesterday

Laugh if you want, but this guy writes lyrics better than those contained in I Got A Feeling

Edit: I knew it wouldn't be long. Here's a remix:

I can't carry on my photo equipment on this plane? Guess I'll be getting out my gun then

Some creative professional photographers make sure their baggage isn't lost by packing a gun in their bag:

I'm waiting for the day when he brings in a fake deed

The resident turned his breakers off again and let us know that his fridge wasn’t working. She also called Comcast and let them know her cable was out. When he came in to tell me about it, he, as a sidenote, explained that he loved it here, never wanted to leave, and that he was in contact with our owner about buying her “condo”. I explained that the apartments weren’t for sale. “Well I’ve been talking with the owner” he said. “Ok.” I said and she left, satisfied.

Sometime that evening he must have brokered some sort of late night sale. He started referring to his apartment as gis condo and told us that maintenance isn’t allowed to go into his apartment at night. We told him that they don't, but he says two men were captured on surveillance camera.

This may be related to last week when he informed us that someone had broken into his apartment [a.k.a. a Plexiglas panel on the storm door started to come loose].

I wish we had some sort of family contact number or something for him.
