Science Fiction

Less than a week left to go for Half and Half art show!

in , , , , , , ,

Hey there, sports fans! Al here with the latest;

Hey, I wanted to let you guys know that the half-and-half show is coming to a close within the next week or so.

A image of the show before opening.

It’s been successful, though no actual artwork was sold, but that wasn’t the point.

The idea was to get the artwork to the public so they could see what I’ve been working on. And the reaction has been fantastic!

With that being said, there are now prints that will be available soon enough, and T-shirts Have already been made based on the image of “Blast Off!” I’m really excited about this because I’m starting to get into the idea of doing posters, prints, and T-shirts again.

T-shirt design based off of “BLAST OFF!” https://www.stickermule.com/u/dff417293639371/item/13258343

I’ve made a few little videos listed here from TikTok and one that is actually a short version from Facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/850885956743417 and just with a little Beastie Boys to add.

Soon, it’ll be time to head back into the show in the limelight again, but before that happens, I will have some other stuff ready to go for that show: the shirts, the prints, it may be an original piece or two.

I’ll have to confirm with my art show partner, Dan Depaolo, to see if he wants to get another table together. Like me, I think he has started to feel the need to get our work back out. There’s so other people can see it, and we work well together selling each other‘s work when the other isn’t there. I will say it’s been fun.

And with that, this kid is out of here, but check out the links for the shirts, and I’ll be making the prints available here soon enough.

Spirng is in the Art

Hey Sports fans, Al here with the latest:

 It has been a very productive week for the kid. There is no doubt in my mind that it has been that, close to finishing off, one piece of art (with varnish) and another about ready to be transferred to scratchboard. 

There is no more tremendous excitement than that other than selling a piece of work to an admiring collector. 

But this has been a week of revisiting Richard Parker. Formatting the book has been on too long a hold until a good friend hit me up and asked when the book would be published.

He was right, and I had procrastinated doing it because, in honesty, I didn't want it to be done. 

I loved working on Richard Parker, and closing that book was hard because he had been a part of my adult life. 

I had found other projects to fill in the space, and they all exceeded my goals as an illustrator. And some are bookends for a series to complete, and others are just for fun. 

Page 1 of “Last Monster on EARTH!”

But there seems to be a tide when a (and you'll have to forgive my language) shit ton of work rolling out simultaneously. "Last Monster on EARTH!" is being colored. "The Watery Adventure of Richard Parker" is being formatted for print, and "the Pasquinade Project" has frames ready for pickup for a future show. It seems overwhelming, but I know I can do it without question. Much of my hesitation has been the fact that funds have been limited because of my living situation and the amount of money funneled into just living expenses. 

RP Layout and Formatting

With a recent change in job position and wage increase, I can crank out work to my liking. I will never be completely free of "issues" until I take that final nap, but knowing what will come up and dealing with it ain't so hard. 

And on top of all of that, I'm having fun!

How can you go wrong with that?

Blog for Sept 6, 2020

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest.

Well, last week was a bust for blogs as I am adjusting (re-adjusting?) to being at work again but it is not the same as it once was. I’m now a “hybrid worker” which is a fancy way of saying “we need you, but we are going to need you to do this.”
Now mind I am happy to be at work again when so many of my other workmates have been given their walking papers.
BUT there is a physical drain on the kid (runnin’ at a good 50 plus mind you) does take its toll. So with artwork what once was a quick turnaround in 2 to 3 days now is stretching back into a 6 to 7-day exercise.

This does have benefits while working as fast details can be fleshed out. This rocks as far as I am concerned. Being able to pay attention to small things helps the overall image, balance, and impact on the panel. It sounds more hyperbolic than it is.

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).
As I have responded to others cannon is not a hindrance but a strength on which to build on. Those who say cannon is an issue are not fans but passers-by. “VideoBetties” because everything has to have a label on it.

SO where I was going with this is tentatively titled Star Trek Nomad. The pitch is that science has not precluded artificial intelligence if anything the federation has embraced it. And in the process with that understanding has begun to integrate A.I. into long-range exploratory ships along with human and humanoid life to explore past threads of the great tapestry from trek while forging ahead with its own identity.
A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?
I mean there are so many variables to think of.
There are several things of sci-fi that I am looking at and reading and delving into robotics and A.I.
And there I am.

But now I am out and got to work.Blogs and Borgs(?) and A.I.’s oh my

BUT there is a physical drain on the kid (runnin’ at a good 50 plus mind you) does take its toll. So with artwork what once was a quick turnaround in 2 to 3 days now is stretching back into a 6 to 7-day exercise.

This does have benefits while working as fast details can be fleshed out. This rocks as far as I am concerned. Being able to pay attention to small things helps the overall image, balance, and impact on the panel. It sounds more hyperbolic than it is.

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).
As I have responded to others cannon is not a hindrance but a strength on which to build on. Those who say cannon is an issue are not fans but passers-by. “VideoBetties” because everything has to have a label on it.

SO where I was going with this is tentatively titled Star Trek Nomad. The pitch is that science has not precluded artificial intelligence if anything the federation has embraced it. And in the process with that understanding has begun to integrate A.I. into long-range exploratory ships along with human and humanoid life to explore past threads of the great tapestry from trek while forging ahead with its own identity.
A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?
I mean there are so many variables to think of.
There are several things of sci-fi that I am looking at and reading and delving into robotics and A.I.

Blog for Sept 6, 2020

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest.

Well, last week was a bust for blogs as I am adjusting (re-adjusting?) to being at work again but it is not the same as it once was. I’m now a “hybrid worker” which is a fancy way of saying “we need you, but we are going to need you to do this.”
Now mind I am happy to be at work again when so many of my other workmates have been given their walking papers.
BUT there is a physical drain on the kid (runnin’ at a good 50 plus mind you) does take its toll. So with artwork what once was a quick turnaround in 2 to 3 days now is stretching back into a 6 to 7-day exercise.

This does have benefits while working as fast details can be fleshed out. This rocks as far as I am concerned. Being able to pay attention to small things helps the overall image, balance, and impact on the panel. It sounds more hyperbolic than it is.

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).
As I have responded to others cannon is not a hindrance but a strength on which to build on. Those who say cannon is an issue are not fans but passers-by. “VideoBetties” because everything has to have a label on it.

SO where I was going with this is tentatively titled Star Trek Nomad. The pitch is that science has not precluded artificial intelligence if anything the federation has embraced it. And in the process with that understanding has begun to integrate A.I. into long-range exploratory ships along with human and humanoid life to explore past threads of the great tapestry from trek while forging ahead with its own identity.
A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?
I mean there are so many variables to think of.
