The Sketchbook Project 2011

The Sketchbook Project is organised by the Brooklyn Art Library and it's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks.You sign up,choose a theme and then they send you an empty moleskine sketchbook that you have to fill up and send back to them.After that all the sketchbooks will go on tour around USA and then they will enter into the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library,where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.


My theme is Inside/Outside

Nothing really matters and nothing can be lost

Are you angry?Punch a pillow.Was it satisfying?Not hardly.These days people are too angry for punching.What you might try is stabbing.Take an old pillow and lay it on the front lawn.Stab it with a big pointy knife.Again and again and again.Stab hard enough for the point of the knife to go into the ground.Stab until the pillow is gone and you are just stabbing the earth again and again, as if you want to kill it for continuing to spin,as if you are getting revenge for having to live on this planet day after day,alone.

Let me in

I love:

Opening hospital scene,many layered transparencies

The soundtrack

The acting

The darkness

The blood

The snow

The close ups

The pureness

Romeo and Juliet

Abby's things from the past

The fact that we never really see his mom's face

Kids screaming after Owen hits the bully

The 80's pop songs

The bloody kiss

When Owen closes the door

 

T-shirts coming soon

I'm gonna be selling t-shirts with my illustrations soon.

Fly away from the greyness

I just watched The Red Balloon (Le Ballon Rouge), a film made in Paris in 1956.A little boy,on his way to school finds a big bright red balloon and takes it with him.At first he's not allowed on the bus and then his mother(or grandmother)throws it out of the window.The balloon instead of flying away it comes back to the window and waits until the little boy sees it .The little boy takes it with him to school and plays with the balloon on his way there.The other kids notice that this balloon is different and try to take it from the boy.The teacher gets really angry with the balloon and punishes the boy.Then all the kids chase the boy until they take away his balloon and try to burst it with their slingshots.All these happen a few years after World War II in the poor grey neighbourhoods of Paris where most buildings looked destroyed.It might seem simple and childish but these are the reasons why this film is so beautiful.It's like a poem,or a fairy tale or a song made into a film.I recommend it to anyone who hasn't forgotten what it was like being a child and hasn't lost the ability to dream and dare to be different.

To flee is Life,to linger, Death

 

 

 Oskar: Aren't you cold?

Eli: No.

Oskar: Why not?

Eli: I guess I forgotten how.

I love:
The silence

The meaning of life

The Fool: I am ignorant, but I read books. You won't believe it, everything is useful... this pebble for instance.

Gelsomina: Which one?

The Fool: Anyone. It is useful.

Gelsomina: What for?

The Fool: For... I don't know. If I knew I'd be the Almighty, who knows all. When you are born and when you die... Who knows? I don't know for what this pebble is useful but it must be useful. For if its useless, everything is useless. So are the stars!
