Piece by piece

So, I met [livejournal.com profile] threeeyesworm  in person for the first time at TCAF last weekend (we were back-to-back tables, no joke). And not even a week later, he's visiting Montréal. So OBVIOUSLY we got together and started pulling the shenanigans artists always pull when they get together with pencils.

We drew. A lot. As a tandem. Basically, I drew a part of a drawing, and he did too, and then we switched, added stuff, switched again, etc. We produced a ton of drawings in a very short amount of them. And for some reason, even though our taste in movies are opposites, our imaginations seem in tune. Check it out :




























I just want to ink ALL of these. Hahah!

The week ended. Thank god I can sleep in tomorrow. Urgh. Isa need sleep.

Also, some of you might recall me mentioning "Berger Blanc", a privately owned animal pound who has a contract with the city of Montréal and treats animals horribly. Today, there was a protest in front of City Hall to encourage the city to revoke the contract and to prevent privately owned pounds to cut corners by mistreating animals. Me and Link went. There's another protest on May 28th. If you are in Montréal and care about suffering animals, please join! It costs nothing. Just being there in greater numbers allows us to make a statement.



Think of the fluffy animals.

You need to ink these! They're amazing!

I think I will! Gradually! :D

Man, I haven't done anything like that for...a decade! (I used to do it with my kid sister. I still have our Slayers collab art somewhere...) That must have been so much fun! I'd almost be sad to see them inked since the sketchiness adds to the randomness and free-flowing creative energy you two had going. Plus, I'm a sucker for sketchy art. ^_^

Now that's one protest I could stand behind! Here's to alerting more of the general public to what's going on to cause change! Almost makes me sad I can't be there. I'm apparently very good at being an angry protester...

(In other randomness, how goes the fledgling plot bunny?)

I haven't done it much either. As you know, I draw really fast, which tends to annoy people who try to do this with me :( But Wei and I are about the same speed, and seem to have imaginations that really connect, so the results are crazy awesome!

The protest was pretty peaceful actually. But it's important to do it none the less.

(Plotbunny is being chewed in and out by my brain. I probably won't have time to work on it seriously for the next few weeks, but our conversations are giving me a LOT to think about.)

Drawing fast is bad? If it's not humanoids, I can draw animals pretty fast since I've drawn them since I could hold a pencil. Really, collab art is probably more fun when done quickly and at the spur of the moment.

Hey, peaceful protesting is the best way to go! Just look at Egypt! Violent protests are the worst, since they only make people angry at protesters for trashing everything. The message gets lost. So keep at a peaceful protest! Wouldn't want to upset the four-legged protesters, after all. ^_-

(It's on the back burner for me as well. Still needing to learn a lot at work, but maybe on Monday when I get one day off, my brain can go fallow and produce something more. I'll be sure to let you know if anything sprouts.)

Those sketches are bad ass! Really love them all, that first one in particular is eye catching! The two last pieces are also very full of shapes and I love them!

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I just adore all of them! :D

[identity profile] pip25.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. O_O They are indeed amazing.

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!! :D

[identity profile] putri-nih.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
The sketches? AMAZING. Can I ink one?

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess? :D

[identity profile] engelen.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Drawing parties... I want one D:

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't have them often, but I should. They rock.

[identity profile] brendala.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I LOVE those sketches! The first one would make an amazing book cover!

It's been ages since I've done collaborative doodling with another artist. I need to make time for that sometime soon....


I'm glad to hear that pressure is still being put on the government to shut down Berger Blanc. Here's hoping the protests work.
**crosses fingers**

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
The first is so Arabian nights!

I recommend it. It's really fun and motivating.

I hope it works too. Berger Blanc is disgusting and deserves to be shut down and burned.

These are fantastic colabs! =D I really like the one with the soul leaving the man's body. I hope you do ink them my dear! And woot to helping end animal suffering! I remember that post, and I applaud you!

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I love that one. Yay for drawing ghosts!

Aw, thanks! I just wish I could do more to help the animals (like actually adopt some... if only I wasn't so allergic!)

You definitely need to ink these. I can see you selling prints of some of them at cons too. They're awesome! ( I think the first one with the lamp is my favorite. ^_^ )

Everybody always loves a good genie :D

These are all amazing! I really love that little dragon one especially. I'm such a sucker for dragons.

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Same here. Especially the tiny ones.

These are gorgeous. I love the first one and the one with the little girl.

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The first one is one of my favorites too. Genies for everyone!

[identity profile] threeeyesworm.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Wooot! High five for good times. I don't mind expanding on one of these too. Colors and such.

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Go ahead, man! I can't wait to see the results!

[identity profile] ming85.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
These are breathtaking! Each and every one of them has a story, I really like where you guys minds are taking each other :D Usually these spontaneous improvisations end up very creative but not much of a composition, but these are the so balanced and exciting in composition, really remarkable!

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's so strange to see how well we worked together...

[identity profile] jason-register.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nice work, and what is this place doing to the animals?

[identity profile] secondlina.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Here's an english article about it : http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2011/04/20/montreal-animal-pound-euthanasia.html

Generally, horrible living conditions, badly done letal injections and just horrible treatment.

That is sad. =(

These are all so amazing! *____*
