These represent a slight departure from earlier portraits, in that I’ve reduced the importance of line in favor of a more naturalistic treatment of tone.

She posted a new entry in a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/moly_x/">moly_x</a> book for a group we were in together, <a href="http://moleskinex64.blogspot.com/">Group #64</a> which had flickered out of existence before ever really taking off back in 2009.<br /><br />Szaza’s own moly for that group had been lost in transit somewhere between Australia and Mexico. It was a real shame because she had made a really beautiful first entry in what was intended to become a “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Narrative-Corpse-Chain-Story-69-Artists/dp/0963812947/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297388589&sr=8-1">narrative corpse</a>” comic. So, I decided to recreate her book as best as I could. Here's a step by step guide.<br /><br />#1: I bought a new Japanese accordion-fold moleskine and printed out copies of Z’s original artwork (it took a few tries to get it to the proper scale) on 2 sheets of regular printer paper.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWxFg5mK3lF-nc7ZF_x_r4RyX58SwE67UxrHcOmXEXKgw84_hwM6zmSo4oghR0Kc-rMqGTTY16MWxRlGBYDdB2lPHmzmEyRrRdrhpx_xUTw4WTS1DJUXdxN10EJTZyuZ7ruPuIw/s1600/01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWxFg5mK3lF-nc7ZF_x_r4RyX58SwE67UxrHcOmXEXKgw84_hwM6zmSo4oghR0Kc-rMqGTTY16MWxRlGBYDdB2lPHmzmEyRrRdrhpx_xUTw4WTS1DJUXdxN10EJTZyuZ7ruPuIw/s400/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572238675287315602" border="0" /></a><br />#2: Cropping the paper down to the dimensions of the book I used a 6B pencil to cover the backside of the first few images (I only did a couple images at a time in order to minimize smudging).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQ9sqseAyi0qxFH6fwQptqMQAYhZ1KtZ7XTYg9fkzaKGNSRO5wnF72-LXRFCQFTZ5apFIvxyYLJsNXRE0BAO7ghUutF_KgLG0mtpL-OIWcRxmUxIeeaj7lDxPLoODX0IrNgv3dg/s1600/02.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQ9sqseAyi0qxFH6fwQptqMQAYhZ1KtZ7XTYg9fkzaKGNSRO5wnF72-LXRFCQFTZ5apFIvxyYLJsNXRE0BAO7ghUutF_KgLG0mtpL-OIWcRxmUxIeeaj7lDxPLoODX0IrNgv3dg/s400/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572238681460999698" border="0" /></a><br />#3: Taping the artwork in place I proceeded to trace the image.

I signed up for the project rather late but still had a few months to work on it. Unfortunately, I procrastinated pretty badly with it for a while. Only managing a few half-hearted sketches until well into December. Finally, while doing some Christmas shopping I found <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Arrested-Mugshots-Infamous-Giacomo-Papi/dp/1603761624/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1295629752&sr=8-9">this fascinating book</a> on the sale rack outside of Borders.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SUdF2TnYRo/TTnCsXYzWXI/AAAAAAAAAVY/Px67PwDDmzk/s1600/arrested.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7SUdF2TnYRo/TTnCsXYzWXI/AAAAAAAAAVY/Px67PwDDmzk/s400/arrested.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564692882041035122" border="0" /></a><br />I had my inspiration for the rest of the sketchbook. But even then I didn't carve out the time to work on it. Thankfully the deadline got extended to Jan. 18th. I went into full-on marathon drawing mode over the MLK weekend (I think I did all or most of 14 drawings and all of the lettering in that time!). I had to pull out four blank pages and I doubled the pages (the paper was so thin that I decided to tape every other page together) so I ended up with only 16 spreads versus the 40 that were originally in the book. I cut a couple other corners by including one of <a href="http://escapehatchdesign.bigcartel.com/">my Jon Stewart stickers</a> on one page and a selection of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/sets/72157624769505052/">‘Faces of Flickr’</a> series on another.<br /><br />Needless to say it was a pretty stressful finish. I really wish I could have ended with a drawing of Martin Luther King's <a href="http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/50604653.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=E41C9FE5C4AA0A14DD1ACF06D3282E62004613E5CA34C24E5E8B90DD495A7874B01E70F2B3269972">powerfully defiant mug shot</a> (which would have been drawn on the holiday dedicated to him) but I had run out the clock by that point.<br /><br />I am however proud of most of the work I did manage for the book. And I think I surprised myself with the sheer volume of drawings I was able to crank out in that last frenetic weekend.<br /><br />Check out <a href="http://arthousecoop.com/submissions/31678-facing-forward">the whole set at the ArtHouse Co-Op Site</a> and all of my other work at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/">my flickrstream.</a>Tim Claryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005775583765528762noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32528833.post-42415950232540102132011-01-11T19:43:00.010-05:002011-04-19T17:33:45.043-04:00Moly X PortraitsIt’s been a while since I’ve posted about the <a href="http://mxportraits2.blogspot.com/">Moly X Portrait Group</a> that I participate in, but with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mnbookarts#%21/notes/marty-harris/moly_xhibition/142546642470259">the exhibit at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts</a> opening soon I thought it was time to mention it again.<br /><br />Also, I've done quite a few entries in the past year and I just finished one that I’m particularly proud of. It is in Brazilian artist, <a href="http://ramiresarte.blogspot.com/">Claudio Ramires</a>’s book. Claudio is one of my favorite artists that I’ve discovered through the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/moly_x/">Moly X project</a>. He did an amazing entry in my book that even included a Pop-up portion. Check out his awesome <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB_zqjolyYE&feature=player_embedded">Youtube video</a> to see it in action. After seeing that I knew I had to try and knock it out of the park once his book came around to me. I was inspired by elements found in his artwork, especially his blimp-whales.

I think it's kind of cool and if you do too, here's a way to win your own. Comment on this post and become a blog follower using Google Friend Connect (just click the <b>Follow</b> button in the menu on the right) and I'll enter you into a contest. Current followers are welcome to join in too, just post a comment below.<br /><br />At the end of the month, I'll pick <b>2 winners</b> who will each receive their very own doodlebird bookmark. But not this one...winners will get a brand-new custom made bookmark <i><b>with the bird of their choice</b></i> on top! I'll probably throw a few other goodies in the winner's package too. Sound cool? Great, now just post a comment below and don't forget to include which bird you would like!<br /><br />Winners will be drawn on Tuesday, August 31st. All comments posted before 12PM on that day will be considered entries. One entry per person. No purchase necessary. ;-)Tim Claryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005775583765528762noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32528833.post-29421868041800941162010-08-17T14:42:00.006-04:002010-08-19T13:07:38.662-04:00Three Drawings in ProgressVery often I can't seem to complete one thing without moving on to something else. Eventually I'll come back around and finish it, but it's rare that I work on one drawing straight through. To illustrate this I present 3 drawings in various stages. The one on the left was begun ages ago (probably late June, early July) and I'm trying a mix of pencils with the usual ink and brush. The other two were both started in the last few days (the one on the right first actually). Hopefully I'll have all three finished by the end of the week.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirn6gVQ04rKn8VBG6wB_461zzuJMg5aIl30TgYLSPTKUFNyCSu1IxcjiryWV8kMH5B4qJ-tP82-KCPN92Xnv95O2zyiSOC8-Zugtrz-dkkN_QRmrvdl9AvY4hOk_hEwM2pZmCn-g/s1600/in_progress.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirn6gVQ04rKn8VBG6wB_461zzuJMg5aIl30TgYLSPTKUFNyCSu1IxcjiryWV8kMH5B4qJ-tP82-KCPN92Xnv95O2zyiSOC8-Zugtrz-dkkN_QRmrvdl9AvY4hOk_hEwM2pZmCn-g/s400/in_progress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506451195221094978" border="0" /></a><br />UPDATE: I finished the one on the left last night (8/18/10) but I'm going to hold off posting it until it reaches it's new home.

I became aware of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">flickr</a> group <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/portraitparty/">Julia Kay’s Portrait Party</a>. Julia’s simple idea (artists making portraits of other artists) has exploded into an absolute phenomenon of creativity. After seeing the incredible variety of work on display I had to get involved. Since I started <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/4667845746/">my first portrait</a> of the extraordinarily prolific, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/augustusswift/">N.C. Mallory</a>, just two weeks ago I've already drawn seven new portraits. Similar to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/moly_x/">Moly_X</a> project I’m involved in I’ve found that joining this community of artists has broadened my horizons and helped rekindle my passion for art-making.<br /><br />Here's a handful of the amazing portraits to be found in this great group:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallytorta/4696174091/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 418px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4696174091_d960b4cbfd.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/43843677@N06/">Sue Hodnett</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/wallytorta/">Wally Torta</a></span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/wallytorta/"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/goatofmendez/4589348757/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4589348757_9e407b41cc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/cloudbuilder/">Kara Jansson Kovacev</a> by </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);" href="http://www.flickr.com/people/goatofmendez/">goat transforming into a cathedral</a><br /><br /></span></span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianbowden/4688184961/in/set-72157624191654824/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 460px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4688184961_8e8242b71a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4688184961_8e8242b71a.jpg">Herman Schildert</a> <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">by</span> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/ianbowden/">I.J.

One of the most interesting things about these exchanges is how artists interact with each other on the page.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SUdF2TnYRo/S_N4wgNN6cI/AAAAAAAAAOg/pAW0QPeKDms/s1600/selfportrait_molyx_detail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 364px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7SUdF2TnYRo/S_N4wgNN6cI/AAAAAAAAAOg/pAW0QPeKDms/s400/selfportrait_molyx_detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472850746859710914" border="0" /></a></div>Tim Claryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16005775583765528762noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32528833.post-16115114712012552002010-05-07T14:38:00.004-04:002010-05-07T14:53:55.801-04:00Comic Convention Sketches<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/4584433505/in/set-72157624007044722/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5302/3557/320/clary_rock.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timclary/4584433397/in/set-72157624007044722/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5302/3557/320/clary_cowboy.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />In honor of this weekend's <a href="http://torontocomics.com/">Toronto Comics Art Festival</a> I thought I would post my convention sketches from the various shows I've attended in the past, including last year's TCAF show.<br /><br />In the sketchbook that I bring to the shows I try to draw an opening spread to set a theme for the sketches. The first one, from the <a href="http://www.moccany.com/content/mocca-festival">Museum of </a><a href="http://www.moccany.com/content/mocca-festival">Comic and </a><a href="http://www.moccany.com/content/mocca-festival">Cartoon Art Festival (MoCCA)</a> in 2002 was, obviously, Rock and Roll. The second from the <a href="http://www.spxpo.com/">Small Press Expo (SPX)</a> 2003 was a bit more open...robots, outer space, or cowboys...or any combination of the three! This resulted in lots of fun, creative drawings.
