<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">David Bowie's death really has affected me. My heart hangs heavy today. He was not just a musician, but a cultural icon. He was a true Midas, everything he touched in the entertainment business turned into gold. Thank you Bowie for everything you have given us. </span><br />

These days, I use Instagram a lot to share my art, so my blog has been quite vacant. But it's time to update again, let's see if I can keep it up. I'm doing caricature sketches as warmups. This was a sketch from last night, and added color today. I love doing google searches for photos of people. I looked up "old latino" and found a great wrinkled face I used as a reference for this illustration. Really had fun drawing his unique shape of his wrinkles, and the big ears. Handsome people are boring to draw, it's the people with uniquely shaped facial features that make it fun to draw. Its also easier to draw caricatures with people who have interesting or pronounced facial features than evenly proportioned perfect people. I can zone in on a big nose or unique head shape, and the caricature will look more spot on than someone with a classically beautiful face with nothing unique about their face.</div>

<br />
This last year has been very difficult for me, and my new little family. Last summer, a week after my wife found out she was pregnant with our first child, we learned that I had cancer. Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the tongue to be precise. Never been a drinker or smoker either, so it was a real shock to have oral cancer.<br />
<br />
Over the last several months, Ive had four surgeries, lost 30% of my tongue from surgeries to remove tumors, had two neck dissections to remove tumors from when the cancer spread to my lymph nodes, a major muscle was removed from my neck in the process because of the cancer, lost my job because of all the surgeries and wasn’t able to do the physical work after the removal of my sternocleidomastoid muscle. Just a month ago, I finally finished the grueling process of radiation therapy on my throat and mouth, and chemotherapy. I lost over 60 pounds from chemo and radiation making it difficult to eat from chemo sickness, and swelling my throat from radiation. The chemo also gave me tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The chemo med I was on is a newer med, cisplatin, and fortunately I didn’t lose the hair on top of my head from it like you see in the movies and tv. The radiation though actually affected all my facial hair, and everywhere they shot me with radiation (below my nose down to the middle of my neck). My beard fell out, and now I can’t grow any facial hair. The worst part of the radiation is losing taste from targeting my tongue. I also can’t make saliva like I used to because the radiation affected some of my saliva glands.<br />
<br />
As you can imagine, the medical bills for this have been coming in, and it’s been unbelievably overwhelming. My wife and I have been doing our best to stay afloat, but it’s been hard since I’ve been out of work for all the procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We’re at about $5,000 in bills so far from cat scans, PET scans, surgeries, hospital stays, biopsies, labs, and I’m still getting bills as we speak. I had a post chemo/radiation CT last week, and the estimated bill for that is $766.<br />
<br />
My friends have been great, and started a Go Fund Me campaign. I know a lot of people don’t have the money to assist others, so I’m simply asking for you to share this blog at the very least. You can get to my GoFundMe campaign here: <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/n28nnk">http://www.gofundme.com/n28nnk</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13289321324055659911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581460259817071947.post-91270209970255435142014-12-13T02:33:00.003-08:002014-12-13T02:33:44.736-08:00Christmas Illustrations!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children and drag them off into the black forest.</div>

Both The Blue Door Theater and Giant Nerd Books are going to have my Horror Icons silkscreen posters on display! I was very excited to have this opportunity, it has been maybe seven years since my last art show for myself. This is also the first time I have had my silkscreen work exhibited anywhere. Most art shows I've done were of my acrylic work.<br />
<br />
Browse through the walls displaying my art at Blue Door Theater, and the latter half of the photos are process pics at the screen printing press. Yes, I hand made the silkscreen press!<br />

If a genie were to ask me what job I could have, it would be do teach cartooning and art of all degrees to young aspiring artists. I was telling a friend earlier that if it were up to me I'd teach a workshop once a week and they'd record it on public access for schools, then do some art on a cart magic with schools around the area.<br>
My first art teacher was on TV, Mark Kistler. He hosted Imagination Station, and I learned so many art techniques from his show. He got me even more motivated and excited. I always have adored his show to this day, and wish to leave a lasting impression on others like he did to me.<br>

The initial cards were drawn by hand, but finally got cozy behind my Monoprice digital drawing tablet, so the latest three are completely digital.<br />
<br />
Three down, three left for the new series of six. I really want to
work this series more than the previous three (Werewolf of London, Bride of Frankenstein, Nosferatu). The last ones were awfully plain. This time I'm pumping up the background with scenes of London, a full moon night, and a creepy dark castle.<br /><br />What’s
next? Frankenstein for sure. The Creature from the Black Lagoon, aka
Gillman, Imhotep the Mummy, maybe Phantom of the Opera. From there I may
have to do the more obscure or later era monsters like The Amazing
Colossal Man, the 50 Foot Woman, and The Metaluna Mutant (This Island
Earth). From there I may finally jump the pond and do Hammer Horror.<br /><br />The
final art will be printed six cards on 12x12 chipboard via silkscreen
printmaking. Then I'll cut the cards to separate them. Previous runs
I've done them individually and damn that's a nauseating pain in the
butt. This will be much faster knocking out six cards at a time.<br />
<br />
The current run of four are available on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jacosta">Etsy Shop</a>! Dracula, Wolfman, Invisible Man will be ready when I finish three more and get time to screen print. <br />

Art in Philadelphia. After seeing students come and go, he decided to
create sixteen different stereotypes he sees day in and day out. Though
I've personally never gone to art school, I can appreciate these for
what they're worth - a hilarious depiction of what students look like in
this day and age<br />

I saw this on my old acrylic painting professor's Facebook page, and loved it so much I had to share it! I was somewhere between the Metal Student and the Average/Good Student, with touches of anime, stressed, hippy, and goth/emo. If you can't laugh at this, you're probably still in school, or still insecure with who you are.<br />

It’s a woodcut print. The creator had to chisel each wood block to perfectly line up on each other for each layer of color. It was ten colors total. This makes me happy I do silkscreen. <br>
By the way, the worst part of only seeing photographs and reproductions of famous works is not knowing the deal scope and dimensions of a piece. You don’t get to experience the varying thickness of paint on a Rembrandt, or the massive size of David, or how small The Great Wave of Kanagawa or Mona Lisa is.<br>
printmaking.<br>
When I was introduced to The Great Wave as a child, I imagined Hokusai slaving away at ten giant three foot x by four foot wood blocks. Nope, it's really just about 10"x14", a manageable size if you ask me. The smaller size tastes nothing away from the mastery of the works though. Bigger doesn't always mean better. </p>

I have a giant pad of paper with instructions on drawing Spongebob, I printed some giveaway booklets on cartooning, and a few prints of my work. I’ll be drawing with the kids and I will be wearing a shirt I screen printed, and have the press on display with the tools. This will be so much fun.<br>
ARTS AND CULTURE: Garfield, Roosevelt, and Linwood elementary schools are introducing the arts to students this month with individual events at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.<br>
The events celebrate all art forms and gives kids and their families an opportunity to engage in activities as well as meet working artists in a variety of professions –literary, music, visual, dance, and theater. Numerous artists from around the area will provide hands-on experiences for students.<br>
Roosevelt launched the Passport to the Arts last year and, thanks to grants, the other two schools were able to sign on with MAC nights of their own this year.</p>

Just finished printing off another silkscreen
t-shirt for my Etsy Shop. This “Support Living Artists” shirt is flying
off to Maine.<br /><br />
I thought some people curious about screen printing might like a peek
at the process behind it. The press here is a home made four color
press, but I’m only using one color for this tee.<br />
If you’d like your own Support Living Artists t-shirt, you can buy one from my Etsy Shop: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jacosta">http://www.etsy.com/shop/jacosta</a> Only $10 in the US.<br />

It’s made to
create balanced lighting for product photography. Side-to-side lighting
helps to eliminate harsh shadows and give an even appearance to
products. Top-down or one-angle lighting will often distort a color from
side to side.<br />
You can make a light box for very little money. I had all the items here except the lamps ($8 each at Walmart) and bulbs.<br />
You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>One tall box (at least 2 feet)</li>
<li>One sheet of white posterboard</li>
<li>Two sheets of 11x14 tracing paper</li>
<li>The longest ruler or yardstick you own (I used an 18” ruler)</li>
<li>X-acto knife</li>
<li>Sharpie marker</li>
<li>Wide packing or masking tape tape</li>
<li>Two adjustable-neck lamps</li>
<li>60-watt GE Reveal lightbulbs</li>
</ul>
<br />

Essentially, you cut two windows on the sides of the box, and fasten
tracing paper over the windows. The front of the box will be completely
open, and where you will be photographing from.<br />
<br />You will align a white piece of poster board from the back wall,
curved at the back corner, and onto the bottom of the box. Tape it at
the top. The curve is very important for photographing, so adjust it as
neccessary. The flatter the paper, the more light will be reflected. A
too-deep curve will end up with more shadow in the background.<br /><br />Setup your lamps at the tracing paper windows, and start photographing!<br />

going to put some lighting on it tomorrow, and I think it will be good.

I did this originally as a small sketch at work, but then I decided I
might as well color it and digitally ink it in Illustrator to work on
some of my new techniques I've been doing with my art. I have to say,
now that it's all done, I really dig my WW illustration. Sometimes we
surprised ourselves.<br /><br />I'm glad I drew her, she is one I have only
drawn once or twice at conventions for requests, and generally those
don't look too hot under the time restraint and 360 degree distractions.<br />One
final note, she needs her own movie Time Warner! Just watch that direct
to video animated feature, it was amazing. I loved it! They seriously
need her kicking ass in celluloid (well technically it's all digital
film these days).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13289321324055659911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581460259817071947.post-32078172171588570232013-11-21T12:32:00.000-08:002013-11-21T12:32:27.979-08:0030DaysComics Day 21 Movie Night<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trying a few new things, including a smaller page size and less panels.
I’m also trying not to nail down the perfect comic, but just trying to
go with the flow. I came up with three last night at work, and I’ll be
posting the other two tomorrow for catch up. Hoping this is a sign of
things to come!<br />

Another diary comic style page. This time it’s about my memories of
playing Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600 and later arcade. I had a lot of
fun with this one, and digitally drew everything but the atari and
arcade panels, which I drew on paper. <br />
The story itself doesn’t have
too much “meat,” but I think it’s a decent entry for the strip.
Sometimes I spend more time trying to come up with a decent idea for the
30 Days Comics entry that I can’t even start drawing until the evening
or the next day. I know I’m not fast, but I am learning. I really like
doing something once a day whether it’s a hit or miss. It’s really
tempering my willingness to produce whether or not I’m 100% ready. Can’t
always just wait to capture lightning in a bottle, more often or not
the creativity has to bloom in the process of making art.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13289321324055659911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581460259817071947.post-63816774120795039022013-11-14T09:16:00.001-08:002013-11-14T09:18:37.842-08:00Wednesday and Pugsley Addams Portrait<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wednesday and Pugsley's portraits are now complete. I’m really picky though, it will probably change. I had two people suggest making Pugsley chubbier, so I am definitely going to alter that in the next couple days.<br /><br />
Three members of the Addams Family complete, five members left. I’m
also thinking of doing a “family portrait” style group shot and another
picture of just the mansion.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13289321324055659911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581460259817071947.post-5191580462156663712013-11-13T22:43:00.001-08:002013-11-13T22:43:52.062-08:0030 Days Comics Day 13 - "Small Talk"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My newest submission for 30 Days Comics challenge. I tried using a fun
palette instead of coloring it more realistically. I think it made it
pop a big. Reminds me of the cartoon "Witch's Night Out."<br /><br />As you can tell, I hate small talk while trying to dash in and out of a store.

I’ve been pouring over Charles Addams and Dan DeCarlo’s art. Such
inspirations to me. I decided to take a crack at my interpretation of
the Addams Family. <br />
The top is my final design, the second is my second attempt, and the bottom is my first attempt.<br />
The final rendition I fixed his cigar, and gave Gomez the John Astin signature devious smile. Really grateful to so much constructive criticism on this piece. <br />
<br />
The second attempt I went straight for a John Astin
look, rather than the previous attempt that was a blend of John Astin
and Raúl Juliá’s features with the initial design. I think the previous attempt turned him into a
young Cesar Romero.<br />
I still need to flip the cigar. I totally wasn’t even thinking when I
drew it lit. I was basing it on an Astin photo with an unlit cigar.</div>

45 minutes before November 11th, I was able to squeeze
another page for #30DaysComics. I’m having fun using this time to
experiment with storytelling, layout, and color palette. Generally I aim
to print my minicomics, so more often than not they are grayscale.<br />
<br />
Figured I would try a more contemplative entry, almost journal comic
like. I find thoughts on the day or even researched pages like my
Jack-o-lantern page easier than jokes. Jokes just don’t fall into my
lap, I have to squeeze them out of my brain all day like the final drops
of toothpaste in a tube.<br />
<br />
I like this one quite a bit. I wonder what other asthmatics would think of it.<br />
Regarding the art. My brush pen died after the 2nd panel. I have to order more from Jet Pens. Can you tell the shift? <br />
<br />
Side Note: I have Captain America vs The Asthma Monster comic framed in the living room with several other cherished comics.</div>
