Luis is obsessed with drawing and has developed his own theories about drawing at his new site The Drawing Website www.thedrawingwebsite.com , a place specifically created to help teach people how to draw. Then the next segment of the show is the story of a young artist in search of the answer to the eternal question of every artist. How do I become a better artist?

Her work is recognized in Mexico as a symbol of indigenous tradition and worldwide by feminists for its powerful interpretation of the female experience. The culture and tradition of Mexico are themes that dominate her work. Her art has been described as Naive or Folk art as well as "Surrealist". Frida experienced long term illnesses  resulting from a traffic accident in her teen years.  Frida's art was about her life experience, emotional and physical pain, and her stormy relationship with Diego. She created 143 paintings, 55 of which are self-portraits. When asked why she painted so many self-portraits, Frida replied: "Because I am so often alone....because I am the topic I know best." After her  accident, Frida spent over a year in bed recovering from a fractured spine, collarbone, ribs, shattered pelvis, plus shoulder and foot injuries. She underwent more than 30 operations throughout her life and during her long recoveries in bed, she began to paint. At 22 she married the renowned 42 year old Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. Their wild, passionate marriage managed to survive infidelity, the demands of their professions, separations, remarriage, Frida's bi-sexuality, her bad health and her inability to have kids. Frida once said: "I suffered two grave accidents in my life…One in which a streetcar knocked me down and the other was Diego."  The streetcar incident crippled her body,  and Rivera crippled her emotions. Frida has been described as: "…one of history's grand divas…a tequila-slamming, dirty joke-telling smoker, bi-sexual that hobbled about her bohemian barrio in lavish indigenous dress and threw festive dinner parties for the likes of Leon Trotsky, poet Pablo Neruda, Nelson Rockefeller, and her on-again, off-again husband, muralist Diego Rivera." Today, more than 50 decades after her passing, her works of art bring more money than any other female artist. She is more popular now than ever and continues to inspire us.  She may be gone, but her legacy will continue to live and grow forever. This is why I would like to welcome Frida into the Man vs. Art Pantheon of Awesomeness.

"The Barnes Foundation would attack the enemies of intelligence and imagination in art, whether or not those enemies are protected by financial power or social prestige!" Dr. Albert C. Barnes Barnes was an American self made millionaire and art collector. He founded the Barnes Foundation, a private art gallery and school near Philadelphia. The school houses the Barnes Collection, one of the most mind blowing and important Post-Impressionist and Early Modernist art collections in the world! It is valued at over $30 Billion dollars and belieive it or not, it was stolen! The paintings in the Barnes collection are so important that they are the envy of every major art museum in the world. Louvre, Moma, Metropolitan, Guggenheim, Getty, eat your heart out bitches! Within a few years Barnes's collection grew to house 181 paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 69 by Paul Cézanne (There are more cezzanes in the barnes collection than there are in the entire city of Paris!) suck on that Frenchy! 59 by Henri Matisse, 46 by Pablo Picasso, 21 by Chaim Soutine, 18 by Henri Rousseau, 16 by Amedeo Modigliani, 11 by Edgar Degas, 7 by Vincent Van Gogh, and 6 by Georges Seurat. In addition, the collection holds numerous other masters, including Giorgio de Chirico, Peter Paul Rubens, Titian, Paul Gauguin, El Greco, Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet, Jean Hugo, Claude Monet, Maurice Utrillo, William Glackens, Charles Demuth, and Maurice Prendergast. the concentration of these artistic masters is unrivaled people!

The Thief and the Cobbler was supposed to be the greatest animated feature film ever created! The film is master animator Richard Williams life's work, a highly revered legend in the animation industry.Williams labored on his dream project for over 30 years. Sadly, his masterpiece suffered a similar fat such as The Magnificent Ambersons and the unfinished Don Quoxite by Orson Welles. Imagine how much it sucks to have your life's work taken away from you because of money and then released to the public in a form totally different from that you intended. I call this artist's hell. That's the tragic and sad story behind The Thief and the Cobbler. When he began production in 1964, Williams wanted The Thief and the Cobbler to be his masterpiece, and a milestone in the art of animation. Because its complicated animation and independent funding, The Thief and the Cobbler was in and out of production for over three decades. Williams worked for years as a producer of incredible TV commercials. Every cent he earned went into the gradual independent production of The Thief.

What is art? While its boundaries are hard to encompass, Webster's defines art as: Skill acquired by experience, study, or observation. An occupation requiring knowledge or skill. The conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects. As a result those who want all the perks of being an artist but don't want to do all of the work have taken a shortcut. Rather than dedicate themselves to enriching art they have chosen to be smart asses at art's expense. They become Conceptual and or Appropriation Artists.

The goal of Intervention is to bring together different independent creators and fans to party, educate, and appreciate the opportunities the Internet gives to all of us. IT is similar to the Sci-Fi/Anime/Other fandom cons, but here the emphasis is on people who use the internet as the primary way to distribute their work and communicate with their friends.

By one hundred, I will decidedly have attained a higher state, indefinable, and at one hundred and ten, each dot, each line shall surely possess a life of its own.

Picasso’s genius for painting; Chaplin’s genius for film making; and the Beatles’ genius for songs are fine examples of how artistic creativity can be used to approach complex problems. These guys all were masters of creating art that depicted universal experiences that could be appreciated by us all. They were spontaneous and intuitive in their approaches at first and then built discipline and persistence as their projects evolved.

Ever notice that whenever you begin an new artistic project like a new book, painting, portfolio, short film, etc that the darned Fear of Failure Demon always seems to drop in to petrify you? You spend sleepless gut wrenching nights where all you can imagine is doom. You toss and turn with dark visions of both yourself and your art as objects of scorn, ridicule, or even worse objects of pity. So you put off trying for the thousandth time, and ditch your dreams. Ask the top painters, cartoonists, designers, illustrators, comic creators, animators, poets, writers, directors, and they will all claim that they are no different! They too have had to deal with the Fear of Failure Demon and have had their shares of crushing disappointment. I'd like to give a shout out to Krishna Sadashivam The creator of the killer web comic PC Weenies! He called in and left a voice mail question on the Man vs. Art Minion Hotline! He asks what animation studios are looking for in terms of Storyboard Artist Portfolios. Check out the podcast if you want to know what I had to say on that. Born in 1920 Isaac Asimov was a writer of some of the greatest classic Science Fiction stories of the last hundred years. Of his works The Foundation Series… The Galactic Empire series and his Robot series were major contributions to the world of sci-fi literature. And These are just a few among the 500 books that he wrote or edited in his lifetime. In particular Asimov’s Robot series generated 2 lasting concepts in science fiction including the invention of a robot’s ‘Positronic’ brain and the 3 laws of Robotics. Both concepts were featured in the movies ‘The Bicentennial Man’ and ‘I Robot’ which were loosely based on his characters. Lastly I'd like to present you with some samples of the 2D Traditional and some 3D digital Animation my students did from my History and Principles of Animation and Timing for Animation Classes at the Gnomon School of Visual effects in Hollywood California.

Art is all a matter of opinion and is subjective. Hello! Every kind of response to art is an opinion, so that’s not news. What the myth implies is that all opinions are equally valid. That is FALSE! Some opinions are better than others. Opinions that are based on better reasoning are much stronger than opinions based on bad or zero reasoning! Not all art is subjective. Some art is objectively good, and some art is objectively bad. The correct assessment depends on the evaluation of the criteria, not on the viewer's whims or tastes.

On today's episode of Man vs. Art I want to explore how the act of drawing has thoroughly shaped our lives. There was a time when the ability to draw was seen as the primary essential skill of any artist. But in the age of the cut and paste pixel and digital imagery many see drawing as an outdated activity. I want to challenge the modern prejudice that it's not cool to draw. That those who draw are sad Luddites and weird loners stuck in a dead past. Drawing is the most rewarding and essential artistic skill at work in the world today.

My guest today is the exceptionally talented Artist, Animator, Director, Professor, and Writer Nancy Beiman. Nancy Beiman hails from New Jersey, likes to travel and owns a cat named Gizmo! She wasn't the first woman to work at the Disney Studio. There were many women before her who worked on Disney films. But Nancy has earned the distinction of being the second woman to be credited on a Disney film. She has taught animation at Savannah College of Art and Design, and taught at Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Film & Animation until 2008. She now teaches at Sheridan Institute's Animation department in Canada. Nancy was offered a scholarship to be part of the inaugural class of the Character Animation program at CalArts straight out high school. Her classmates included John Lasseter, Jerry Rees, John Musker, Tim Burton, and Brad Bird. Nancy was the first woman to graduate from the CalArts Character Animation Program. After CalArts, She went to work at Jack Zander's Animation Parlour in New York. She has animated Bugs and Donald, Snoopy and Goofy, friends of Fievel Mouse and Mickey Mouse, and Don Martin cartoons! She worked with Chuck Jones, Bill Melendez, Gerhard Hahn, Steven Spielberg, Walt Disney Feature Animation, the Disney Channel, Disney television movies, and Warner Bros. Nancy Beiman entered an industry that was pretty much a boy's club. Her raw talent and hard work, combined with an appreciation of tradition, tenacity and courage in the face of adversity served her well.

In today's episode of Man vs. Art I had the pleasure of speaking with the talented Ken Mora. He's a screenwriter, artist, and independent animator who's determination, warped sense of humor, and resourcefulness have gotten him literary representation, an award winning CG animated short, and plenty of attention. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's begin at the beginning shall we? Ken Mora is one of life's late bloomers. Currently, Ken is adapting the Magnum Farce into a comic book for release at next year's Alternative Press Expo. He is also laying down voice tracks for the Magnum Farce feature, tightening up the script, and planning the animatic with expert help from yours truly, the Man vs. Art. Ken will be previewing the "YouTube" edit of his CG animated short Magnum Farce on Jan 22nd at the "We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges" show at Geeks Comics in Whittier.

There is so much that can be said about Color Theory that it could fill the Library of Alexandria. It can be overwhelming, so for the Man vs. Art Intro to Color Theory, I'm going to give you the underwhelming Cliff's notes version. In 1666 the genius Sir Isaac Newton put together the first circular diagram of colors . Ever since then, artists and even scientists have studied and created numerous variations of this concept. Over the years much debate has been provoked due to the differences of opinion about the validity of one format over another. In my opinion, any color wheel which presents a logically arranged sequence of pure hues is valid.

A simple way to make your characters look more expressive is to pay attention to the eye direction. When you are doing a pin up of a cartoon character 9 out of 10 times you should have the character looking at us. It is much more powerful to have the figure make eye contact with the viewer. A lot of artists show their lack of confidence by having the character looking away. Not good! Unless the eye direction is dictated by the story in a panel or action you should have your cartoon making good eye contact with us.

Well I learned that there is no free lunch in Animation. The first hundred years of modern animation was no picnic! Especially for the Artists. Producing animation is tough. It takes hard work, devotion, and vision. Even animation that is "phoned in" or "hacked out" requires effort. Animation has dealt with B.S. and adversity at every turn. But more importantly I learned that the greatest achievements in animation no matter the era, always have the most humble of beginnings.

Hola Minions! I certainly hope all is well. Today's podcast is the first of a two part series on.... The History of Animation according to me. Why am I doing this? A good question to which I have a good answer. I  recently came to a big decision concerning my technique for producing animation. For the longest time I've been clinging to my traditional animation shtick, and it has served me well. But now I need to scale down the fancy stuff and streamline my whole process. This is a must if I ever expect to increase my cartoon output. I want to tell stories that are more involved and work with a bigger cast of characters. I believe that by adopting a Ghettomation attitude  I can knock out more toons without sacrificing quality. I decided to research the history of Animation to learn  how our cartoon forefathers handled technique, technological change, and social conventions. That way I could find ideas on ways to scale back on my own process and learn what not to do from their past mistakes. When you want to make a giant leap forward sometimes it's a good idea to look back first. For as long as man has been creating art, he has also tried to depict motion. [youtube uvqLujgcLyI 480 385] Instead of the smoking gun, for animation there is The smoking pot. The images found on  five thousand year old clay pot in Iran shows  a sequence of a goat jumping up to take a nibble from a plant. Piper vs. Superfly Snuka! Here we see the a four thousand year old Egyptian Mural that clearly attempted to capture the motion of two wrestlers going mano y mano. Phantasmagorie by Emile Cohl. The earliest known paper drawn cartoon  is the 1908 French short. [youtube aEAObel8yIE 480 385] His exalted Holiness Winsor MCcay Winsor MCcay is considered one of the first true animators . In the early 1900's he took full advantage of the recently invented motion picture camera and used his love for drawing to animate films that were pure  genius.  MCcay's animated films have stood the test of time and to this day are considered masterpieces. I think the word exquisite describes MCcay's work perfectly. Gertie the Dinosaur [youtube mnuhP2URCoo 480 385] [youtube ixK1DffOsbE 480 385] MCcay stunned audiences with this wonderful animated piece that showed a character with personality, solid anatomy and weight! While other animators were using quarters and nickels to trace out heads and bodies for their cartoons, He  was light years ahead of his peers producing elegant pieces that blew the pocket change brigade out of the water. How A Mosquito Operates, Set mind to blown. [youtube yvzAJouHh7k 480 385] Little Nemo. [youtube kcSp2ej2S00 480 385] Some really good drawing and acting in this work! The Sinking of the Lusitania. [youtube nN-KdPBhyjc 480 385] Brilliant depiction of the terrible maritime disaster that shocked the world. Walt Disney's Steamboat Willy It all started with a mouse that was a big F.U. to Universal. [youtube PRbzOm9dqMY 480 385] Steamboat Willy marked the beginning of a new era early on, barely in the infancy of animation. Cartoons could finally talk.  Disney Studio held vast influence over the development of the animation process for decades.. The Fleischer Brothers [youtube BPulJzMIzck 480 385] [youtube Mb8iYqIVBzQ 480 385] Best Superman Animation  adaptation ever. These guys created very unique cartoons  that I am a total sucker for. With their studio in Florida  they were able develop independently of  all the other cartoon studios for many years! Warner Brothers The cartoon asylum  known as Termite Terrace produced the unforgettable Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes. I think I now know what I must do. Speaking of awesome.....

Great Art is art that produces an emotion that you have NEVER felt before. As many of you know, I am very passionate about art. In fact it gets pointed out to me quite often. I guess a majority of it stems from my refusal to completely grow up. William Shatner is the epitome of the artist who never says die!

Why would you need one? We artists dream of being represented by an agent who will market our work, set up pitch meetings, score us an in-house or freelance gig, and do all that boring non-art stuff like marketing, negotiating, and selling. Well if you have a great idea for an animated TV show, Movie, or book and want to pitch it to the major studios and networks, you'll have a tough time getting a meeting without an agent. The stark truth is that it's extremely tough to find a good agent. For artists it's best if you're already known enough in your field to have agents seeking you instead of you going to them. Sadly this rarely occurs. Very few artists get this privilege. The rest of us must submit material to many agents and agencies and choke down the pile of rejection slips before eventually hooking up with an agent willing to take a chance on us.

Here you'll find a "speed painting I did for the cover of my comic book Codename: Sparrow. Check it out the final cover of Codename: Sparrow! Codename Sparrow is about  International Playboy and Gentleman Thief Eddie Torres who is at the top of his game, and  through no fault of his own has it taken away.  Rather than rot in prison he accepts an offer to be a covert operative for a  private “Good Guy” agency called N.E.S.T The first  story HOT ICE is about Eddie’s Cat Burglar days.  In order for you to really know him I feel it will be necessary to do some stories set in that time.  The second story “ The Name of the Game” is about his early days in the agency more specifically it’s about how he got his cool Codename.  A time when he was transitioning from being a thief to being a covert operative. As an artist and especially writer I found this time to be very juicy! I hope you do to! Click on the banner below to find a sneak peak at the first 6 pages of the book.  Plus you can order your very own copy of Codename: Sparrow issue # Zero!
