creative invasion creative invasion saturday december 22 2007 i ve moved to london well as some of you may know i got a job as a matte painter at framestore cfc in london i ve been here about a month and a half now and i can finally say i m reasonably settled in so i thought i d take a moment to finally update my blog after half a year of neglect i ve had to immediately focus on work and setting up my infrastructure so i haven t had time to do any art on the side yet but expect some soon i m going to salzburg and amsterdam for the christmas break and i hope to do some sketching while i m there cheers posted by ron bowman at 1 51 am 11 comments sunday july 01 2007 new character and vehicle designs here s a couple of new character and vehicle designs i ve been working on the top one is a heroine and her sidekick based on the main personalities of the chinese creation myth the god pangu created the world then nuwa created people at some point after creation the world fell into chaos and nuwa struggled to restore order to the world sounds like an excellent inspiration for a super heroine to me i think i might develop their backstory further in the future i had a bit of a struggle with getting all the reflections to work well in her suit i think it was an excellent learning experience i think i ve got the mojo of the physics of it all down pretty well now i was inspired to do the second piece when i saw a kick ass fully restored cherry 1968 camaro at a shop where hally s car was being fixed it was up on the hydraulic lift and i was able to really thoroughly examine it it looked so aggresive and i imagined that it could make a pretty intimidating mad max style war machine in a post apocalyptic world voila posted by ron bowman at 1 47 am 13 comments tuesday june 19 2007 the realm of the little people i m finally starting on a series of photoshop paintings i ll be doing some environments character designs and vehicle designs hope everyone enjoys them posted by ron bowman at 5 38 pm 7 comments wednesday june 06 2007 something different i have to say the plein air landscape studies have really sharpened my skills in the way i was hoping they would and this portrait piece i did this week benefited from that i really think i ve loosened up sped up and improved my command of the brush i ve been doing some sketchbook work lately and i m trying to express myself more the fox news piece had to be done i watch it sometimes just for how ludicrous it is it s like watching the american version of north korean television which by the way you can see on youtube very very entertaining i think it expresses my feelings pretty well about what our current administration is up to i m curious as to whether all the metaphors come across clearly the piece with the pigs is an old piece i did for barron storey s class a few years ago about the fashion industry and the pressure people have to be thin i plan to do more like these posted by ron bowman at 12 18 am 7 comments monday may 21 2007 sketchcrawl 14 sketches i had the pleasure of being a part of sketchcrawl 14 which was a benefit for emergency an organization to help the civilian victims of war i also attended the auction they held the next day i was outbid on most of the art pieces i wanted to buy but was very happy to win my bids for some very nice artwork by john hoffman and evelyn hahn i had a great time all around and you can t find a nicer and more creative group of people the first of these two sketches was done just before the sketchcrawl to warm up i was very happy to find out that someone had bought it at the auction the second was done during the crawl at koit tower in sf i was blown away by the quality of the sketches from other artists on the crawl and i came to the conclusion that i need to practice sketching to improve my speed and to learn to create more aesthetically pleasing quick sketches my sketches have always tended to be just studies for more extensive projects and i haven t focused on making them artful in themselves hopefully next time i ll come up with more i want to post posted by ron bowman at 11 42 pm 9 comments wednesday may 09 2007 painting with friends in morgan hill i went painting in morgan hill with some old sjsu friends noah jackson dela nikki kendelle scott and jules i managed to paint this old building in downtown i m finding architecture a bit of a struggle to create in plein air but i plan to keep working on it i think the secret is to treat it as shapes and colors just like anything else rather than try to do an architectural rendering in such a short time posted by ron bowman at 12 02 am 10 comments wednesday may 02 2007 more paintings i did some outdoor painting in the berkeley hills with noah jackson and daniel last weekend the top two pieces are what resulted on the first piece i had the challenge of simplifying enormous amounts of visual information it was pretty difficult and i learned a lot from it for the second my painting of the hillside was pretty dead and wasn t going anywhere so i took inspiration from noah s recent pushing of his artwork and decided to do the same with this one taking it in a whimsical direction i don t think i d ever done anything quite like that before the third painting was done the next day in my own backyard the last two paintings are the same ones from my previous post but with more work added to them i thought they had a lot of potential as pieces to put in the gallery but felt they needed a bit more pizzaz for the dirt road i brought out more of the colors in the shrubbery and developed the shadows more i originally created the monterey coastal cliff image just to practice rendering the rocks and didn t pay much attention to the composition at the time as such i felt the composition was too blandly horizontal and lacked a focal point i added some opposing mass to it in the form of the kelp forest and added some interest with a cute little sea otter i think people visiting salinas monterey will like that how can you resist one of those cute little fellas posted by ron bowman at 9 08 pm 7 comments about me name ron bowman location london
