<br />
It looks like it's finally time for me to abandon this here blog. I've updated my website, (with a lot of tears and cursing) to wordpress, and I'd like to have everything all nicely consolidated. If, perchance, anyone actually reads this blog who isn't directly linked to it BY ME, then you should probably update your links and stuff.<br />

I did this painting yesterday for some practice. I've always had a more difficult time drawing anything that wasn't people, and even more so, anything that has straight lines. Hopefully you can expect to see more little doodles like this (this is about the size of my iphone) in the future. Maybe I'll have so many I'll have to sell them just so I can walk around! Speaking of which, you can get a print of this (or a card, or a t-shirt, or an iphone case) <a href="http://society6.com/brittwilson/VROOOM_Print" target="_blank">at my Society 6 shop</a>.Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-41642070305411639642012-10-09T13:33:00.000-04:002012-10-09T13:33:51.882-04:00Erin.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but YOU (yes, you) can now get prints (and other gadgets) of my Deadly Plants series from my Society 6 shop! Each piece is available in all the goodies! Christmas is coming up, I know this because the store I work at is already full of holiday products, and what says "I love you" more than a picture of something poison is made from. Hey, you could take it one step further and lace each product with a tincture derived from it's namesake! How sweet of you.</div>

The show is up until the end of October, if you live in Toronto head on over to the Steam Whistle Brewery and take a peek. I have to say, I'm super proud of all my friends, this one is a particularly good show, the art of such high calibre, it's a little astonishing that most of us are not making a living off this stuff!<br />
<br />
Sadly I forgot to take ANY photos at the opening. I'm a bit flakey like that. The frames these guys are in are actually pretty nice, gently roughed up by my fiancé. They are for sale, and any inquiries can be directed to my email (britt@brittwilson.com). When the show comes down I will probably also be offering these as prints.Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-33915692924180981332012-09-30T13:13:00.000-04:002012-09-30T13:13:12.680-04:00BLACK MATH! Hey guys! I'm frantically gathering my crap together to hang some paintings at the Steamwhistle brewery for a show opening this Wednesday. If you're around you should come out and take a peep at these poisonous plants I've painted. I've decided to reveal the Mandrake Root, but you'll have to come out (or wait til thursday when I blog them) on Wednesday night to see the other two!<br />

The Expletive Show opened Friday, and apparently did awesomely! A big thanks to everyone who came out and even more thanks to those who got in the spirit by wearing a saucy shirt. There are a bunch of events going on in the space for the duration of the show. Head over to <a href="http://blog.lightgreyartlab.com/2012/09/expletive-poster-show-opening.html" target="_blank">Light Grey Art Lab </a> for details if you're local to Minneapolis. There are a poop-tonne of other amazing and naughty type-treatments. I haven't seen them all, but I got a peek when I browsed through this <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightgreyartlab/sets/72157631554479657/with/7997637586/" target="_blank">flickr set</a> from opening night. Really I just wanted a piece of those big cookies.<br />
<br />
I'm working on some fun things currently, which I'll have evidence of later this week perhaps.<br />
<br />
I'd also like to add a thanks to everyone who has bought a copy of my book so far. I've realized now that I was very naive in thinking that the hard part would be making the content! Slogging the thing is proving to be the most difficult and stressful part.Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-90069461927646662592012-09-13T13:28:00.000-04:002012-09-13T13:28:23.667-04:00Fall Comix Class<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hopefully I'm not posting this too early... Anyway, the show opens on Sept 14, 7-10 pm. Sounds like it'll be a fun party, if you go, wear that shirt hiding in the back of your closet because it has swears on it. I think they'll like, give you something. If you do. Anyway, it was really fun trying to decide what things to say, thanks to <a href="http://vickinerino.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Vicki Nerweinis</a> for helping me out.Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-42765407211707214802012-08-27T16:21:00.001-04:002012-08-27T16:21:26.942-04:00Tumblr.I'm not leaving. I promise. I've had a tumblr for a long time, but I don't particularly like the way the damn thing works, or doesn't work, or whatever. But I can't ignore that, well you know, everyone is there, having fun. Without me. So maybe I've gone over to the darkside. I don't know.<br />
<br />
I think in the end, tumblr will end up just another place for me to post random instagram pictures. All the meaty posts will still end up over here. Tumblr sucks for meaty posts.<br />

I've added a new item to my shop, whoa! It's just a test run for now, mostly to see if it would be worth my while to invest in making more prints of my artwork, or for that matter, artwork to make into prints.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">BONUS: I can't keep myself from spending way too much time on the envelopes, so you'll probably get a hand made AND hand lettered one like in the image above.</span><br />
<br />
There are only 4 in the whole world (currently) so <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/107446981/science-print-5x7" target="_blank">act quickly</a> if you want a very inexpensive ($10+shipping) print from meeeee! The print is 5x7, printed with a very nice photo quality canon ip1600 that is not mine, and on pretty darn fancy matte paper, and signed in the corner. Please don't hesitate to comment if you'd like to see more prints in the future!<br />

I'm gonna be taking part in the<a href="http://blog.lightgreyartlab.com/2012/07/expletive-show-exhibitor-list.html" target="_blank"> Expletive show at Light Grey Art Labs</a> in September! I think it's working like the Pokemon show in that if you show up there you can buy prints of all the artwork! So, all my Minneapolis fans/friends... (like, one) you'd better show up. And have a good time. For me. Have a sneak peek at my piece below. I'm not gonna reveal the whole thing until the show opens Sept 14, so I guess you'll have to hang tight. Also, if you'd followed me on twitter or instagram, you'd have already seen a bunch of this. So there.</div>

Aviv doesn't believe in pants. That's a lie, he believes in them, how can you not, clearly they exist, but he sure as heck doesn't like them very much. He also likes to make his very frequent farts into something special, just for me (that's the back of my head in the corner there).Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-54169290609661552702012-08-13T12:55:00.001-04:002012-08-13T12:57:33.347-04:00Lately on Instagram:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been checking out wedding venues and posting about my adventures. This weekend I fell in love with a place, only to find out that they're booked solid, and even if I'd called the very same day we got engaged, it's very unlikely I would have gotten a spot. Well dang, who'da thunk a barn would be in that much demand?</div>

Come out and hang out with me for a bit, if nothing else. BUT if you purchase my book (from Indigo, but if you have one you bought elsewhere, I don't mind) I'll <span style="color: red;">DRAW YOU INSIDE</span>. I can't promise it will be flattering, or even good at all, but it should be interesting at the very least, and probably pretty funny! So again, come out and keep me company. We can chat. Catch up.<br />
<br />
If you like that kinda thing, here are some progress shots while I was a-workin. I gotta say, digital is not my forté, but I'm not very fast when I'm analoguing. My hands are ITCHING to get all painty again. Between wedding planning and freelance work, and social engagements, I've had zippo time to play.<br />

Last Thursday was Observational Drawing. Tough enough to do with adults and older kids, near on impossible with the 10 and under crowd. I had a much smaller group this week after losing some kids to camp. I knew that keeping their attention for life-drawing would be very difficult and I read a lot of different teaching techniques from the internet. All of them suggested only drawing from life in very short bursts, so the kids don't get discouraged. It's VERY hard, especially for younger children. Another thing all these techniques had in common was NEVER drawing for them, no demos whatsoever. If they don't understand the principles quite right, explain to them, or just let them do their own thing. But seeing the drawings of someone more experienced can be very daunting and intimidating for some kids. I've had experience with this before, while drawing with kids. They give up on their own drawings, and just ask me to draw things FOR them, because I'm better at it. It's a rare child who understands that only by doing over and over and over can they achieve the same results. Or maybe they do understand, and have no desire to commit, or don't have that kind of dedication to drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I'm on the subject, I get really pissed off when people tell me I'm talented, that they "can't even draw stick people", and that I'm lucky to have such a "gift" for drawing, or to be so "artistic". Bull@#%* I work HARD. It helps that I had parents who encouraged me, and that I have a very competitive/obsessive personality. I wasn't any better at drawing than any of the other kids in my kindergarten class. Only better than a FEW in grade 1, and only because by then a lot of them were already not drawing every day. Already their parents were having them do extra math work and go to prep schools after school let out. These kids didn't have time to doodle and play freely like I did. The only skills I have over someone who can't draw stick people, are an obsessive nature (some would say stubborn), a hardness when it comes to myself, and a slightly better eye for small details. The reason I have the abilities I have today are because I worked hard to get them. I practiced drawing the way other people practice math equations, or speeches, or driving. </div>

Because it was so popular last week, whenever I noticed the kids' attention waning, we did a round or two of exquisite corpses, I joined in this time, despite having plans not to draw for the kids. I was getting pretty bored myself. </div>

This is what we're gonna tackle next week, and a few other ways to make books too. Hopefully by the end of the class, the kids will have models of books they've made, so they can use them to make more whenever they want! I'm also hoping we'll have time to actually make short comics in at least one of them.<br />

I'm not sure at this point if there will be any continuing classes in August, or if there IS, what the age group will be or what the subjects will be. I'm almost hoping for some older kids, with attention spans longer than 3 minutes, so we can get more into the knitty gritty, and the really fun stuff, something a little more complicated than barebones contour drawings and exquisite corpses.</div>

So just in case you've forgotten, and you really wanna sign up your lil' rugrats for my last class:<br />

But boy, those kids were making me pull teeth to get them to stop talking about cruddy anime, and just draw! It was time for me to put on my authoritative teacher hat on and use that voice I haven't had to use since my baby-sitting days. You know the one, your mom uses it when she starts to count to three. Anyway, hopefully I did some good this week and got their little brains thinking about shapes and consistency, which is really all I was going for.<br />
<br />
So we started out with a handout about the use of col-erase (or other coloured pencils) to sketch with. They all got a col-erase pencil too, with a few colours to choose from (but mostly red, because that is MY favourite). Then, because I have a gaggle of anime girls, I had a handout that we talked about briefly detailing some anime/manga with good character design. I tried to warn my little ladies about the formulaic nature of manga, and how they need to think outside the box! We'll see if any of it sinks in, I know it took a long time for my manga-phase to peter out.<br />
<br />
After the handouts we got down to BIDNIS. I had all my kids take some highlighters and cover a page with BLOBS. <br />

Then they all passed to their right and had to make their neighbour's blobs into characters by adding features to the blobs with either markers or pencils or what have you. This is one of my favourite things to do when I'm in a rut, or when I just feel like doodling. It wasn't as popular with the kids as I'd hoped, but it was good for them. Made them stretch their little brains, even if they resented me for the exercise!<br />
<br />
Our next activity was to make an exquisite corpse!! This was met with lukewarm enthusiasm, but ended up quite the crowd pleaser. At first all they did was criticize my english pronunciation of "corpse" which I had done on purpose not to be confusing, forgetting, of course, that all of them are currently taking french, and they wouldn't be confused at all.<br />

We were going to make another round of corpses, but the kids had caught a glance of the last handout, and were too excited about what they saw, so we moved on! The last handout was full of ADVENTURE TIME! I found some character turnarounds from the pilot after a quick google image search, and used them as examples so the kids could create their own turnarounds! This was nice for me, I could let the kids talk and draw and not have to be the taskmaster. They just relaxed into it, and all of them created some pretty awesome designs! One of the girls has been reading <a href="http://www.friendswithboys.com/" target="_blank">Friends with Boys</a> by <a href="http://www.faitherinhicks.com/index.php" target="_blank">Faith Erin Hicks</a> and drew something based on her favourite character. One of the boys didn't really feel like doing a turnaround, so he just drew his robot character and sidekick and coloured them with highlighters. One of my favourite kids (shh, don't tell them) has a character that is a shape shifting ball of slime, so he decided to draw a turnaround for a bunch of things his slime shifter changes into. like a car and an airplane and a hammer and a boomerang. SO CUTE.<br />

I'm losing at least one of my kids because she went off to camp, so there won't be any more appearances of Dr. Pop. But who knows, maybe he'll turn up in a book someday!<br />
<br />
Next week I'm going to get the kids initiated into observational drawing! I'm expecting a significant drop in registration for this class, and a general lack of enthusiasm from the kids there, because when your imagination is as wild as theirs, why draw from real life? Also it is pretty difficult to do, but I have plans to break it down into very simple and easy exercises that should be pretty fun. I'm really looking forward to getting them drawing Blind Contours. That should make a pretty good blog post later!<br />
<br />
And of course, the plug:<br />

"How is that any different from every weekend, Britt?" you ask. Well, it isn't. But this time I was working on an illustration for the cover of <a href="http://www.pitch.com/" target="_blank">The Pitch</a>! The Pitch is a pretty awesome looking paper from Kansas city. I'll be honest, everything I know about Kansas fits into a movie. You know the one. So I was glad when AD Ashford Stamper sent me something familiar: Bike share! Toronto has an awesome bike share program, I believe called Bixi, which is actually the second program of its kind to be implemented here, the first of which failed pretty miserably I think. I remember back in school, I actually made an illustration for an imaginary bike share program. (I would link to it, but it seems to have been wiped off the face of the internet, probably for the best.) Kansas is implementing B Cycle/the B bike, which isn't the prettiest thing, but I think it's built to be the proverbial "Brick shit-house". Anyway, without further ado:<br />

Speaking of working, this is what my new desk area looked like around 7am Sunday morning, as I was settling in to work for the day. I only get sunlight until about 7:30am, and then it's gone for the rest of the day. I absolutely hate it, so I get up extra early to take advantage of my oh so small amount of natural sunlight time.</div>

I've been using escargot platters from Canadian tire (like $4!!) for palettes recently, and I'll never go back to the disposable ones, or the shitty plastic things ever again. The ceramic palettes are so much easier to clean, and just so so so much nicer in general.<br />

So it looks like I was worried for nothing, those kids practically taught themselves! But not really, I did a lot of very good teaching in there. I taught them all the good swear words I know. We focussed on thumbnailing in my first class all about storytelling. I had a few exercises for the kids to help them come up with interesting things. But they do not need any help, I am SO jealous of the way they just spat out AMAZING ideas like they were chewing tobacco! One of the first things we did was an Aristocrats inspired comic, where I provided the first and last panels, and they had to come up with the meat. Most of the kids took their drawings home, and I was too flustered to take pictures while they were working, so I missed some of the best ones. I did take the ones left behind though, so have fun seeing the inner workings of these little rascals' brains. (I like the melon-tits on the second one, someone has been watching too much TV or something.)</div>

Alright, so THIS WEEK is the best class! We're gonna focus on CHARACTER DESIGN, which is everyone's favourite thing to do anyway, right?? I can't wait, these kids were coming up with crazy characters already (a popsicle with a monocle, a slime shape-shifting blob from space), so I can't wait to see what they come up with when prodded a little!

I've been working on some patterns for <a href="http://www.prnt-studio.com/">PRNT Studio</a>. I'm not really sure if I should be blogging them or not, but since no one is paying me anything, I've decided to blog away! Some of these images are still in progress, and will be changing and changing and changing before I'm satisfied. All of these were created by scanning ink washes and colouring in photoshop. </div>

I haven't updated in a while, and I apologize. The summer weather has stolen my desire to work, and my early morning part-time job is stealing my will to be awake. Ever. June was a month that just seemed to flash by for me, but with some good things happening despite my general listlessness. </div>

There was a big get together comic jam at the Martzibald's to celebrate the completion of the next <a href="http://teamsocietyleague.com/">Team Society League</a> book. I baked special Georges themed cookies. This was the first time I have ever attempted to top cookies with royal icing. Unfortunately for Georges he was a bit of an experiment and suffered things like leakages, bubbles, and general ugliness. Overall though, they still looked pretty darn cute, and tasted delish. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">It was my father's birthday on the 12th, and also Father's Day on the 18th. To celebrate I did what my dad has been asking me to do for a little while: a drawing of him. But I put that drawing on a cookie. Then my brother (<a href="http://brenwilsonphoto.com/">Bren Wilson</a>) and I teamed up to make a recipe card. He is a pretty awesome photographer. </span></div>

I'm pretty sure he liked them.<br />

Bren also shot my engagement ring the same day. He's our engagement photographer, with <a href="http://otherpeoplearebeautiful.blogspot.ca/">his roommate</a> (also an amazing photographer) taking over for the actual wedding.<br />
