Sequential Art at Karitos 2011

Workshop 7: Title: Sequential Art, Part 1: Creating the Characters -- Justice Carmon 
What character is the Lord calling you to create, or to be, or to represent that depicts His call on your life? In this workshop, you will learn about and create your own characters using examples from Charles Schulz, Bill Watterson, Johnny Hart, and others. You will learn how to simplify your characters so others can more easily identify with them.

Workshop 8: Title: Sequential Art, Part 2: Telling the Story -- Justice Carmon
What story is the Lord calling you to tell? You will discover, through hands-on sketching, how simple it is to lay out the path before you. You will learn how to create something suitable for storyboards, comics, cartooning, or for your own personal use in pointing you in the right direction.

When Did You First Realize You Were An Artist?

Any ideas?

2011? Will this be the year you take your art more seriously?

Lots of artists love talking about art, but when it comes to getting it done, well -- is this going to be the year?

Self-discipline sounds like a dirty word in art. Getting up early, working hard, drafting, crafting, editing, repainting. However, self-discipline finishes the job.

If God has ordained you, are you willing to be a martyr?

2011 is here.

What Do You Do As An Artistic Discipline?

Artistic Discipline?

Musicians play scales? Painters practices strokes? Poets test forms? What do you do?

The easy answer is what you should do. That's not discipline. That's talking about discipline.

I'm looking for great ideas, even unorthodox ones. What do you actually do? How does it help?

Happy Thanksgiving and Art

We are thankful to God for giving us life, and the liberty to express our faith in Jesus Christ through art.

These are cold days in Chicago. Keep warm: do art.
