drawing stories

1. The magic space ship. By this craft, visitors to and from the world of Oolmuni arrive and depart Earth. Display it in visible spot if you wish to visit another world. It's magic will help bring unexpected adventure into your life.

2.Big Bully
Big Bully has a tendency to knock things around with his head. In fact, he finds it fun. He's good to keep around in case something gets in the way. He comes on this trip in search of something to knock over that bounces up again.

3.The Druid
Druids are magical creatures that gain wisdom through constant study and devotion to their art. They are disciplined and sensitive to nature. The bring much magic to those who care for them.

4. Swinging Organots
This Organot is temporarily in the form of a rabbit. He loves to swing from clouds. Organots are highly creative and playful. If you take him swinging, he'll like it very mich.

5. The Heart Eater.
This is quite an evil monster you have accidently found. Meet the Heart Eater. He shatters hearts. However, he can only destroy false love based in desire, selfishness and possession. He does the good service of cracking hearts wide open so they can feel true love.

6. The Bird of Power.
From this bird, an evil monster known as the Heart Eater draws his power. Once he was majestic and now his spine crooks. Notice though he's not chained to this evil monster. If only he could realize he was free, he would return to his real form. It's his mind he allows to be caged. Monsters are kind enough to reveal your soul to you. Pain can set you free if you understand it's true source.

7. The Sleeping Queen
Perhaps you have heard the story of the sleeping queens who dream the world. They slumber united in mystery with all time and space. With closed eyes they see the world truly as it is, as it has been, and as it will always be. The queens travel together bringing forth entire galaxies. Sounds beyond hearing radiate from their sealed lips. These melodies, harmonies and phrases form our lives and guide our souls. For those who listen to stones, skies and stars, they hear softly, in the distance, the Sleeping Queens' voices united in song.

8.The Lost Soul
This soul is lost, confused and afraid. It doesn't know where to go. Perhaps you can befriend and assist it along its way.

9.Totem Bird
Totem Bird has had a pretty hard go of it since last summer. He's been stuck under a raining cloud. He's on a trip to get some sun and forget his worries.

Tropism: Commonwealth vs. Joshua Davis

I'm going to kick this blog post off by straight up reblogging part of Marius Watz's Generator.x post about this show to give the details. Hats of to Marius for a really great post: Tropism: Commonwealth vs. Joshua Davis

Currently on display at the Espeis gallery in Williamsburg, Tropism is a collaboration between New York product design studio Commonwealth and generative artist Joshua Davis. Inspired by the endless variations of form in the plant world, they have worked together to create a series of computer-designed vases imprinted with generative graphics.

I went down to the show today to check out the work and was impressed by not only the art itself but by the fact that a gallery space was successfully presenting and selling digital art objects. The work itself reminded me of Marius' own 3d prints created earlier this year and also of several similar pieces that have used this same technology combine with ceramic to create sculpture digitally.

3d printing, laser cuts, limited prints and other means of rendering files are becoming increasingly popular solutions to the dilemma new technology artists face when selling work to collectors.

Curious about the Commonwealth vs. Joshua Davis show I asked some questions to the gallery curators and was excited to discover that the gallery itself is the gallery/presentation space of Commonwealth's own work space. Hopefully, the great success of this inspired show will encourage other galleries to support and present similar work. As for now though it's pathfinders like the Espeis space that are brave enough to lay claim to the new genre in art of digital art object.
