yokocho otherwise known as memory lane or piss alley for light grey art lab s in place show buy a print here omoide yokocho is a series of slim cramped alleyways in shinjuku packed with yakitori stalls that can only fit 5 10 people at a time and salarymen looking for a drink after work it s basically a timecapsule from post war 1950 s japan and it looks like an amazing place to visit a lotta work reference but one of my favorite pieces i ve done take a quick walk through via youtube here and thanks to irene koh for double checking all my japanese signage can you spot the cat 3 posted by kali ciesemier at 2 15 pm 8 comments thursday july 25 2013 7 deadly sins so it s been a while since i posted anything but that s because i just moved i m currently in philadelphia which is a 5 week stop on my way to living in brooklyn at the end of the summer alright these pieces are from the june issue of ebony about the 7 deadly sins in relationships thanks to my awesome ad lynn galloway who saw my mothers superior illustrations and requested illos that incorporated text similarly i had a fantastic time working on these modern y illuminated manuscripts i thought of adam eve being tempted as a general theme but was asked to tiptoe around any direct religious connotation it was a good challenge to try and figure out decorative shapes images that hearken to ye olde manuscripts but also feel right for the mood of the sins also have you looked up medieval demons these dudes are the dooooofiest if anyone needs any more illuminated manuscripts lemme at em posted by kali ciesemier at 12 17 pm 8 comments thursday june 20 2013 space the gallery show my piece for mike mitchell s space the gallery show opening this friday at gallery 1988 in la with a ton of other amazing artists oh man i m a lifelong sci fi fan and when i was deciding what to contribute to the space show i thought of my more memorable sci fi experiences watching silent running with my dad as a kid both fascinated and terrified me and i ve been interested in how nature fits into a space travel ever since what are the logistics of putting something so beautiful and complicated into a very fragile isolated location in the 1970 s nasa with the help of dr gerard k o neill studied a variety of plans for space colony designs i think it s notable that there was a lot of awesome original art created for these plans to inspire people and generate interest in space travel it s amazing that these same designs have also informed so many modern day depictions of space stations in books tv and movies in the spirit of those nasa illustrations and after doing a silly amount of additional research i made a travel poster for a new ecological space habitat of my own design shoutout to sam for inspiring me to use google sketchup i ve been watching him use it very effectively to make simple environment perspective reference and decided to take the plunge myself no way in hell i d be patient enough to draw an inverted curved perspective otherwise some of my preliminary process steps having good perspective reference is invaluable i made a simple mockup of my space habitat in google sketchup took a screenshot to use in ps it s a fiddly program but it s free and was definitely useful for this after taking the screenshot i deleted everything except the lines in photoshop and colored them white i drew my rough color sketch underneath so i could figure out what goes where once the rough color sketch was in place i started working out the colors and details more using adjustments adjustment layers to fiddle with color once i got the color figured i added in even more rough details after this it s just a matter of polishing up the lines and shapes and adding some bits of texture on top posted by kali ciesemier at 5 46 pm 11 comments tuesday june 11 2013 summer vacations aren t always the most relaxing i was asked to illustrate an essay in boston globe magazine written by an author who prefers to just stay home during the summer and let everyone else clog up the roads and sweat out in the heat my ad suggested an uncomfortable roadtrip and i thought that adding a glimpse of the cool and relaxing house she s leaving behind would be a nice contrast as a homebody at heart i sympathize i myself will be moving apartments not once but twice this summer in two different states no less so i m getting geared up for my own uncomfortable roadtrip haha but i ll be living it up in brooklyn at the end of it so here s to some future summer fun thanks again to my ad ryan huddle posted by kali ciesemier at 4 08 pm 6 comments tuesday may 14 2013 editorial grab bag in between a few longer term projects i ve worked on recently i ve had a bundle of editorial pieces from various times this year that i ve been slow in sharing so here they are now family circle an illustration for a personal essay about a teachable moment that happened in a grocery store check out lane sketches final boston globe for a personal essay about beer snobbery craft beer enthusiasts are often labeled as snobs but the people who exclusively drink coors or bud light are just another kind of snob too sketches final the new york times a quick illustration for the preoccupation column the article was about the clash between older management and young college grads the younger generation is having a hard time finding employment because many ceos are skeptical of their workplace value sketches final thanks to my ads amanda kirk ryan huddle and minh uong posted by kali ciesemier at 6 01 pm 1 comment thursday april 11 2013 ivy league confidential here s a quickie illustration for today s new york times letters section it s less than 2 5 in tall in print eee so cute you can find the letters my piece online as well the letters are all in response to the op ed article the secrets of princeton which argues that the social connections that happen in elite universities are far more important to the graduates
