I had one of those weekends you sometimes yearn for: quiet, calm, inside, productive, and good. We broke out Starfarers of Catan last evening and it proved to be a very satisfying. I spent the bulk of my weekend drawing: for work and for pleasure. I uploaded a David Lynch to my flickr account as well as the making-of to YouTube. Enjoy! ¶ Some of James Caan's best films were underrated. I'm especially fond of him in Thief (from which this week's feature is based) as well as The Gambler. ¶ Don't forget: I've got a Jack Bauer portrait in tomorrow's National Post (AL1). Stay tuned, as always. ¶ Sometimes a day can be made by a mere link on the Internet. And today that link is this one (Jet-set poster archive, via Seen and Not Seen).

I love Ralph Steadman's art. He puts it all in the work and it shows. Even though I've never mentioned him on Siteway, Steadman's portraiture has been very influential. This week, my tribute to Mr. Ralph Steadman. ¶ Here's another video I recorded of a drawing. These are still very much in the experimental phase.

We had a Matt Damon weekend here in London, and it was a comforting one. ¶ Drawing test, 6.

All you can ask for in another chapter is a meaningful part. Not necessarily a twist, but a development, certainly. I have had the idea of recording my illustration process (on-screen) for quite some time now but up until recently I hadn't found a recorder that didn't slow my system down to the point of ruining my line work. As a baby step, I've uploaded some drawing tests to YouTube that might be of some interest. There's more here to be mined. Much, much more. ¶ G'night. ¶ Oh, you want to see one of my drawing tests now? Oh, okay:

I battle, like most people I'm sure, with the overwhelming amount of information available on the Internet. On the one hand, it's there and it's potentially useful. On the other hand, it's distracting and not always a good use of one's time. It's clear now that the do-it-yourself movement is not unrelated to the Internet. With so much information available people simply can where they once couldn't. Moreover, you can actually say and deliver things over the Internet which extends the movement into other realms of experience like career development and sales. For example. Today if you want to be a Filmmaker you simply make films until people with capital call on you to make the same sort of thing you've already made, but this time with an army. If you want to act, then you write a show and shoot it and upload it to YouTube. You do. ¶ In any case, there are some good blogs out there with useful things to say about life, habits, work, and everything in between. I read LifeHacker daily, WorkHappy lately, and just now I discovered ElephantStaircase. And suddenly, and without warning, Martin realised he could do it. He just needed a little help. ¶ Speaking of great things online, I discovered quite possibly the best podcast since I discovered The New York Times Book Review podcast. It's IndieFeed's Hip-Hop/Rap podcast (click here to subsribe). Dirty Dutch hosts the prolific podcast with such ease and appeal, it's easily the best of it's kind online.
