Giant Robot is proud to host a tiny exhibition of colossal proportions curated by artists Jordin Isip and Rodger Stevens.

Dime Bag 3 is the ninth in an ongoing series of events by Isip and Stevens, bringing together over 200 artists from New York City and beyond representing an extraordinary variety of disciplines. Painters, illustrators, graphic designers, filmmakers, photographers, product designers, and others have been invited to create artworks specifically designed to be exhibited in 3-inch plastic bags: dime bags. Each artist was sent one of the symbolic baggies and asked to fill it in any way they wished.

MoCCA Follow-Up Week: Sophia Chang

cartoons, comics, Current Students, Events, Follow Up, Illustration Faculty, Illustration Industry, Inspiration, Reviews, , , , , ,

Editor’s Note: This week, we are featuring three entries by students who worked at the Parson’s Illustration tables at the MoCCA Festival this past June.  First up, a narrative and sketches by Rising Senior Sophia Chang.

_____

So I had the pleasure of having a table at MoCCA Festival along with other Parsons students including Katie Turner, Beryl Chung, Grace Lang and Christine Young.  Check out their stuff!

I felt like I was in a microwave the entire time, the humidity of everyone’s body sweat evaporating and condensing was absolutely delicious! I say that sarcastically. On the real though, MoCCA was an awesome experience, being in a room with upcoming artists and surrounded by printed matter! Afterall print is slowly slowly dying…

I specifically enjoyed the Norwegian, Swedish and German/Berlin tables, offering some great perspective on their visual language. Just sitting at the table and watching the different unique people pass by was an experience of its own. I started sketching down all the interesting people I saw towards the end of my stay.

Thanks for the firsthand account, Sophia!  Make sure to check out Sophia’s website and blog for more about her work.

“+2” Summer Group Show
10″ x 10″ works by 66 artists (see below for complete list)
SLOAN FINE ART

The official press release for the show:

Let’s face it. It’s been a tough year so far and we can all use a little levity. So with that in mind, we decided to make our summer group show fun – fun for the gallery, our artists and our collectors. We’ve invited 22 artists who have shown here in group or solo shows and asked each of them to invite 2 of their choice. It could be someone they know or not, someone they owe a favor, someone they’d like to see get a break, someone they’ve always wanted an excuse to meet. The only rules are it’s got to be work they are personally excited about and all of the work has to be 10” x 10” (small works = smaller prices = that’s where the fun for collectors part comes in).  And on Saturday, June 20th, from 4 to 6 pm we’ll welcome the summer season with an artist’s reception complete with lemonade, cookies and good vibes all around.

Participating artists are: Eric Amouyal, NaNa An, Sarah Bedford, Bengala, Erik Benson, Chris Berens, Jud Bergeron, John Bowman, Kris Chatterson, Vince Contarino, Orly Cogan, Dame Darcy, Peter Drake, Joel Dugan, Steve Ellis, Evah Fan, Chad Fay, Lori Field, Erik Foss, Lauren Gibbes, Frieda Gossett, Kady Grant, Seonna Hong, Greg Hopkins, Caroline Hwang, Jordin Isip (Illustration Adjunct!), Jasmine Justice, David Kramer, Tasha Kusama, Michael L. Maes, Julia Marchand, Austin McCormick, Elizabeth McGrath, Adele Mildred, Benjamin Paul Morris, Linsday Mound, John Nickle, David O’Brien, Saejean Oh, Saelee Oh, Reba Pardieu, Marion Peck, Martha Rich, Jean-Pierre Roy, Rachel Salomon, Kristen Schiele, Brian T.

Alumni Update: Daniel Springer’s new show

Events, Exhibitions, Illustration Alumni, News, , , , ,

autumn morning


Illustration Alum Daniel Springer (’84) passed along news of an upcoming exhibition of his works.  Here are the details:

LANDSCAPES
July 1-15 2009

Brewster Ladies Library
1822 Main Street (Route 6A)
Brewster, MA 02631
call for hours: (508) 896-3913

RECEPTION
Friday, July 3 from 5 -7 pm

Mr. Springer is represented exclusively on Cape Cod by the Left Bank Gallery @ Cove Road in Orleans. (508) 247-9172.  He currently chairs the Fine & Performing Arts Department at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, sits on the Advisory Board of the Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association and teaches at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.

Here’s a snippet from his artist’s statement, as well:

My painting is an expression of what I see and what I feel when I am alone in nature. From the hurried impressions of a fleeting moment when the light is “just so” to the abstraction of the distance, the cumulative effect is that of a luminous and atmospheric painting — one that evokes an emotional sense of place.

Keep up with Daniel and his work at his blog.

Congrats, Dan!
