Doodle Dump 010
This week's Doodle Dump™ continues the sketchbook previously featured here and here. It happens that a lot of the drawings this time are copies of drawing by other cartoonists. Yuichi Yokoyama and Jack Kirby are just the more obvious examples. Click on images to enlarge them.

Doodle Dump 006
Doodle Dump™ returns after a brief hiatus. This time all drawings come from a sketchbook which had been on display at the Minnesota Museum of American Art (which has been hit hard by the economic downturn) during the Hot Ink show. Some sketches from this book appeared in MOME 10 alongside my interview. I was excited to get this sketchbook back. It was at the museum for four months! It was one of my favorite sketchbooks and it still has a bunch of un-inked pages. Click on the images to enlarge them.

Doodle Dump 005: Roman Cieslewicz
All of the drawings in this week's Doodle Dump™ edition are drawn from or inspired by images created by Roman Cieslewicz, one of my favorite designers and artists. If you're interested in that sort of thing he's well worth looking up. Click on images to see them larger.

Doodle Dump 004: Bored at Work
A brief suspension of Trans-Atlantis posting services comes to an end tonight. I spent the last few days in New York fully intending to keep up the almost-daily blogging activity. Blogging is an activity one can technically do from any location in the world provided there is a semi-reliable connection to the world wide web. But even a short trip demonstrates that the routine required to make even a simple blog post possible is easily disrupted. The lack of set schedule, late nights and odd sleeping hours are enemies of blogging... unless of course those things are routine...
In today's Doodle Dump™ all the drawings were done at work during meetings or boring moments.

Doodle Dump 003
It's Sunday, and it's time for another Doodle Dump™. This week is a little different from previous ones. The entries are a little less 'doodley'. Most of the subjects are taken from Monocle Magazine, which claims to be be a publication for an "international audience hungry for information across a variety of sectors". I'm not exactly sure what it is that fascinates me about that magazine... yet. But I'm sure it'll be subject of a future post.

Boris, Clouds, Zebulon Pike at Triple Rock, Minneapolis
I went to see Boris, Clouds & Zebulon Pike at the Triple Rock Social Club yesterday. I brought a mini-sketchbook and ended up doing a few drawings (with a Pentel Brush Pen if anyone is wandering). It was fun to do. I might do it again...

Sketchy Komiks: They Only Want Malls
Time for another regular Trans-Atlantis feature: Sketchy Komiks™. Once a week (though not always on the same day) I'll share some of the comics that keep accumulating in my sketchbooks, but never really see the light of day. Hopefully these will be of interest to somebody out there. Enjoy.

Doodle Dump 001
Introducing a new weekly feature on the Transatlantis: Doodle Dump. Every Sunday I'm going to pull choice scribbles, scrawls and doodles from sketchbooks, paper napkins, random lose sheets of paper, and post the whole lot on this blog. Good drawings will mix with bad ones. Inspired ideas will mix with embarrassing ones. Without further ado:

Momus is a Better Blogger
It looks like my updates have slowed down to the point of erasing all entries from this blogs front page! I guess it's time to resume posting. Some time ago I went to a Momus and Mai Ueda art performance in Chelsea. It was fantastic. I already blogged about it before. In fact it was my first post. Recently, I started scanning my sketchbook pages again and the image below was the first one to get scanned. It was drawn based on one of the photographs I took at the performance.
Momus and Mai from 'I'll Speak You Sing'

Since Momus was one of the major inspirations in getting this blog off the ground, it seems like as good a time as any to celebrate his great, and much more frequently updated blog.

Click on panels and drawings for relevant links. Transcription for clarity: "Power operates most effectively not by persuading the conscious mind, but by deliminating in advance what is possible to experience." – CCRU "Kapital really is a planet-wide artificial intelligence, feeding matrix-style, on the energy of human slaves." – K-Punk "The opposite of real isn't phony or illusional – it's optional." – Thomas DeZengotita, Mediated, p. ? "We are lucky that the organic realm reached the foot of evolutionary ladder before the inorganic." – J.G. Ballard, The Atrocity Exhibition, p. 22 "Why believe in work when it doesn't believe in you?" – Pat Kane, The Play Ethic, p. 79 "What if the 'idea' of progress were not an idea at all but rather the symptom of something else?" – Frededric Jameson, Archaeologies of the Future, p.281 |
