</div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't posted in a while.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm still working on a few personal illustrations, but I'm also busy with a few design projects for the moment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm also posting to let you know about three things:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. I'm maintaining a blog outside this one, which a few illustrators and I started. The <a href="http://illustrationproject.blogspot.com/"><b>Illustration Project</b></a> is a blog that documents our process work and their corresponding finished illustrations. Every month, one of us picks a topic, and we create sketches, discuss and then design an illustration based on the topic and feedback. I'm asking you to check it out, follow and enjoy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://illustrationproject.blogspot.com/"><i>http://illustrationproject.blogspot.com/</i></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Banner design by Sam Singh </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well first of all, I saw this painting by Klimt at the Neue Galerie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And yes, I almost cried.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Web and print reproductions of Klimt's paintings never really do him justice. So you have to go and see them in person. I've been meaning to go to the Neue since my trip last November. If you're a fan of the Vienna Secession and early 20th century German art and design, the Neue is where you want to go. My friend Kira and I went last week, and unfortunately, they had only two rooms open to the public. They were in the middle of setting up a new installation on the third floor, and another exhibition on the second floor. But it was still worth it - a landscape or two, and Adele's portrait by Klimt, and Egon Schiele's beautiful drawings (and a few more drawings by Oskar Kokoschka).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, the real purpose of the Big Apple visit was to mail out some promotional postcards.

<div style="text-align: center;">For the movie, Anderson hired artists to paint every single elephant on the interior of the train, and a mural/film collage on the train's engine car. If you're not familiar with any of Anderson's other films, you should definitely check out The Life Aquatic (fish claymations!) and The Royal Tenenbaums (excellent screen compositions). I've heard from a few that Wes Anderson's movies are an acquired taste, but aesthetically-speaking, his films are a visual feast.</div>Chelsea Canlashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520639600640315273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721190137033912138.post-81407040158485117822011-01-12T05:39:00.000-08:002011-01-12T07:46:29.074-08:00winter no fun<div style="text-align: center;">Too early to be thinking of spring?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<center><b>Windows</b> by Alice Neel </center><center>(image from aliceneel.com) </center><br />
<br />
I found <a href="http://www.aliceneel.com/">Alice Neel's</a> artist monograph at work one day and was really moved by the expressionistic portraits of her friends and family (which is actually what she was known for). And then I turned to a page with this painting and was immediately blown away.<br />
<br />
I don't want to say too much about it. I mean besides the beautiful composition, I think I was mostly taken by what she decided to paint in detail and what she just left alone. These windows belong to an apartment building. But doesn't it feel like each window, rather than just being a window, is maybe... a representation of its tenant? They should all be uniform, but they're really not...!<br />
<br />
She's a wonderful artist, please take a look at her work. You can find her monograph at the book section of the AGO shop.Chelsea Canlashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520639600640315273noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721190137033912138.post-39463122759977511472010-07-16T08:29:00.001-07:002010-07-16T08:31:50.257-07:00my little buddy Jose<center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNULLyvg4OQ8cSB-Z2Mn_390IvYvO077eBuntdzhAd2zsKxG0dkQQyjJOAi97AWBlSB00fYUit5GtS1pLHD9uTIf8smw_zizaOe2b1qI4viMWGKAqCtBV42F91ZQpZ2rj0xoGpjrOa_4U/s1600/jose.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNULLyvg4OQ8cSB-Z2Mn_390IvYvO077eBuntdzhAd2zsKxG0dkQQyjJOAi97AWBlSB00fYUit5GtS1pLHD9uTIf8smw_zizaOe2b1qI4viMWGKAqCtBV42F91ZQpZ2rj0xoGpjrOa_4U/s400/jose.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494526698137968370" /></a><br />keeping busy busy busy.</center>Chelsea Canlashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520639600640315273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721190137033912138.post-32856684377713457512010-07-05T21:38:00.000-07:002010-07-05T21:44:42.672-07:00Summer smells good.Meanwhile...<br /><br /><center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFitfVpk27x5hg4zgK-LRtIQ0UqBMMvkb5t3arH4wTT1hpPPkf6emX52-5ecCiN8sKzwrmpKCTRadbkkdr-LBktcPF6VAH-2hIhDDn8TzrjOesjpp0_JFIjBi5URwYGrbpRh3ZpL37sKA/s1600/DSC03074.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 340px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFitfVpk27x5hg4zgK-LRtIQ0UqBMMvkb5t3arH4wTT1hpPPkf6emX52-5ecCiN8sKzwrmpKCTRadbkkdr-LBktcPF6VAH-2hIhDDn8TzrjOesjpp0_JFIjBi5URwYGrbpRh3ZpL37sKA/s400/DSC03074.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490648071855046642" /></a><br /><br /><b>read, read, read!</b><br />Summer book list.</center><br /><br /><br />Favorite line so far, <br /><i>Ralph, standing there with his hands in his pockets, followed her with his eyes; then the lurking chill of the high-walled court struck him and made him shiver, so that he returned to the garden to breakfast on the Florentine sunshine.</i><br /><br />- Henry James, "The Portrait of a Lady"Chelsea Canlashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04520639600640315273noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721190137033912138.post-67266784870783302782010-07-05T20:10:00.000-07:002010-07-26T08:32:58.982-07:00pretty nice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPel1AtCOlNhmLpIRcvGaF5GpPc3DogMlnEpjQGHmrlHgZyKMnfP5wPdQVb8WrThMwPiwVN1PC3oUANNZzudUYzl1AvGOoqzxmPx9GDQz_QaeoN2WjguEmZRL97MpAXEg7VCye9faxCkg/s1600/DSC03061.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="504" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490647493283628978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPel1AtCOlNhmLpIRcvGaF5GpPc3DogMlnEpjQGHmrlHgZyKMnfP5wPdQVb8WrThMwPiwVN1PC3oUANNZzudUYzl1AvGOoqzxmPx9GDQz_QaeoN2WjguEmZRL97MpAXEg7VCye9faxCkg/s640/DSC03061.jpg" style="height: 315px; width: 400px;" width="640" /></a></div><br />

Every now and then, I flip through <b>Letters to a Young Artist</b>, a collection of letters written by contemporary artists the likes of Alex Katz, Elizabeth Murray, and 21 others, published by Darte Publishing in New York.<br />
<br />
This one's from Yoko Ono:<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>To a Young Artist,<br />
<br />
<br />
You could be 18, 30 or 50, you are young to have decided to be an artist at this time in your life. First let me congratulate you on your choice. From here on, you enter the endless magic life of being an artist.<br />
<br />
The world is your oyster: It will provide you with unlimited material for your art. Look at it again from that point of view. Suddenly the world is a different place, so interesting, so beautiful, and so mysterious. Have fun with it. And share your fun with us.<br />
<br />
You, as an artist, will unfold the infinite mystery of life and share it with the world. It may just be two people your work will communicate to. Don't be upset. Be upset if you are not happy with your work. Never be upset about how many people have seen it, or how many reviews it has received. Your work will exist and keep influencing the world. Moreover, your work will keep changing the very configuration of our world no matter what kind of attention it gets or doesn't get. So even when you are an unknown artist, be caring of what you make and what you give out. Your work, no matter what, affects the world and in return, it brings back ten times what you've given out. If you give out junk, you get back junk. If you give out confusion, you will give yourself confusion. If you give out something beautiful, you will get back ten times more beauty in your life. That's how it works. You are now like a tree in the park. Your existence is making the city breathe well. So relax and be yourself. Don't try to be anything but yourself. Rely on your instinct and inspiration. Go with it!<br />
<br />
By the way, my thanks to you for being an artist. I am aware that I will be one of the many, many people who gets the benefit of your decision. I wish you great success.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love you!<br />
<br />
Yoko Ono<br />
New York</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I know it may seem like a lot of what she says is a derivative of what you hear from art school, mentors and fellow artists. But sometimes, it is motivating, and just plain nice to know that there are others besides yourself who celebrate life and art, and then remind you again and again to do so.<br />
<br />
