Fine Art Printing Amateur could use some advice

2008-04-26T09:14:24Z

I am considering purchasing a wide format printer for fine-art, photo, and banner printing. After researching it looks like I'm leaning toward the HP Z3100ps 44in over the Epson 9800.

I want to learn more about printing techniques this machine is capable of. Specifically I would llike to learn how to do the wrapped canvas frame technique for giclee fine art.

Anyone out there willing to teach me, or steer me in the direction of a workshop, class, etc. I would be very thankful.

3d Fractal Music video of Rena Jones - Open Me Slowly

2007-10-12T01:06:09Z

Hello,
I've decided to release this video for free rather than try to sell it on iTunes or NativeStateDigital because it was originally intended as a gift and it seems wrong to try to sell something that was made as a gift, doesn't it?

http://www.phidelity.com/blog/artwork/rena-jones-open-me-slowly-video/
So yes, this is a 5 minute long animated 3d fractal music video set to Open Me Slowly by Rena Jones. On the page I discuss the software used, offer full-res downloads and stream the video.

Please leave comments on the page and share with your friends if you enjoy.
love,

Illustrator: How can I save a "symbol" permanently?

2007-09-13T22:07:45Z

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate so much!

I can create a symbol and save it temporarily into symbols file, but when I close the project and start a new one, it's gone.????? Why?

Also, in the swatches, I am wondering if it's possible to change the "black and white radial" swatch to a different color?

Thank you so much for your help!

I am but a novice at this.... I just spent 4 hours trying to figure it out and I can not. I've printed out the "help section", but even still I can not find the proper answer.

Scanner Recommendations

2007-07-30T07:28:41Z

Well my HP Scanjet 4600 scanner has packed up and bought the farm. How lovely that HP discontinued their scanners but never recalled them and so I cannot just get another one or even get my money back. That means that eventually when I make some decent income, it is time to get another scanner.

What scanner would you artists recommend (with the exception of HP brand...that was the last straw and they are now on my s*** list)? I would like something that allows the lid of the scan area to be detachable for scans that are much larger than the scan area. A compact one would be good as well.

Until then Ill do the best I can to make my traditional medium works look decent with this printer/scanner/fax combo of mine which I have never used to scan images before. Wish me luck.

Computer Chaos

2007-06-05T17:29:21Z

First off, while I realize that the OS wars have gone on since computers began, I have an idea for a drawing. However due to the event that inspires this drawing, I cannot draw it myself at the moment. I figured I might share it with you anyway.

Basically my external hard drive was originally NTFS and it isnt the most stable. Of course M$ never mentions it despite that many people have hard drives bigger than 35Gigs now and still are led to believe that NTFS is the only way. Yes, I was ignorant but if M$ had not tried to persuade its customers to go away from FAT32, I (and countless others who have had this happen) would of been less likely to use NTFS. Doh!

As a result, the equivalent of a child running rampant in Daddy's office occurred. Picture a little Bill Gates running to your file folder drawer and tossing up all your file folders into the air and causing all your papers in their corresponding folders to now have to be reorganized and arranged in your file folders.

Now you can guess what I would want to draw. :)

onesimplepixel.com - my first digital art project (please help!)

2007-03-18T06:18:02Z

On January 1st, 2007, 4AM EST, I launched the one simple pixel project (www.onesimplepixel.com). Attempting to create one single image, 1000 x 1000 pixels in size, through the collective contributions of 1,000,000 people. Each person chooses one single pixel and personalizes it by giving it a name, choosing its color and optionally a comment or quote for the rest of the world to see. The theories are countless. Many first thought the result will just be a collection of random pixels. However as the image slowly appears it makes one wonder “what will the image actually become?” Only one million people contributing to the one simple pixel project can answer that question.

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas you want to attempt. I have about 30 different projects in mind that I want to attempt over the next year or so.

Artist Collaboration Tribe...please join and post your collaborative works!

2007-03-08T18:55:28Z

Hello Digital Art tribe,

Please join me in the dynamic experimental world of trading imaginative energies with other creative souls.....
Let the PSD layers fly, don't be shy, contact your fellow vision holders and give this adventure a try. My greatest hope is that people will connect in this space, give each other a delicious taste, and give birth to new place, one created in joy and respect for each others grace.
Be grateful for each other, we are all sisters and brothers, and in our struggle to create art, we honor that which has given us life - the womb of all creation, the supreme galactic mother. So go ahead, reach out and remix someone, don't forget to spend every moment having fun, look into the future and set the dial on your ego to none, open your arms - and your minds, the endeavor to enlighten has just begun.

PAX,
Michael

CALL FOR ENTRIES Main exhibition Noorderlicht Photofestival 2007

2007-01-22T10:01:45Z

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Main exhibition Noorderlicht Photofestival 2007

ACT OF FAITH

where religion meets the world

The selection for this year's festival has begun, Noorderlicht welcomes submissions and ideas from all over the world

Visit www.noorderlicht.com for conditions and more information

Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2007

Act of Faith
14th Noorderlicht Photofestival
Location: Groningen, The Netherlands
Period: September 16 through October 28, 2007
Opening: Saturday September 15

In one guise or another, religion currently pervades discussion. In a fire fanned by fear of Islam, resorting to religion has become acceptable in the West too.

Faith is back with a vengeance - as a source of certainty and stability, a safe haven, a refuge with its own norms and values, closely connected with the idea of a closed society that is based on tradition and brotherhood.
But what happens when this faith comes in contact with the surrounding world, an open society that is continually changing, based as it is on dialogue among various opinions? Ultimately the separation of church and state is one of the basic principles of Western society, and a globalized world, with its free exchange of goods and ideas, is a source of heresy.

God and Allah, the Vatican and Washington, holy scripture and law books, global and local, love and resentment: The Noorderlicht Photofestival 2007 investigates what happens when faith meets the world around it, where the collisions of different value systems lead to friction.

Act of Faith is an international group exhibition that will be accompanied by a special catalogue. Previous main exhibitions of the festival have drawn enthusiastic responses and are now touring all over the world.

Submissions can be sent directly to the curator: wim@noorderlicht.com

So, when I save an illustrator document as a pdf and open it in acrobat, the image appears jagged as if it were pixelated. It also prints this way too. Any ideas?

Thanks

Introducing J. Griffin

2006-06-13T12:21:11Z

J. Griffin
Denver, CO
http://www.zhibit.org/ad/tribe/jgriffin

Jeanne Griffin was born in Colorado and has always felt connected with the creative verve and fortunate synergy surrounding Denver’s art community. She graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1989 and began designing and selling handmade jewelry to Denver's elite boutiques. She became aware of Denver’s lively version of Bohemia in 1990 when she moved to the “dilapidated blight” (as one city official referred to it) now known as LoDo. At that time, the neighborhood still held Denver’s flourishing arts district with over 15 galleries on 3 blocks and home to the original First Friday Art Walk. There was not a sports bar to be found, the viaducts still brandished their seedy, mysterious charm, and art studios were cheap and plentiful. The unmistakable synergy began almost immediately when Griffin rented her first “studio” (a 10 x 10 chicken wire storage cage, in the basement of RedShift Framing) shortly before Core New Art Space leased the 1 st floor as their new gallery. Her “apartment” was across the street on the 2½ floor of the Wazee Supper Club, in a space that had been home to Westword's offices just months before. The atmosphere and community gave her a sense of belonging and encouraged her passion.

She has participated in juried exhibitions and group shows locally and has opened her own gallery where she has hosted 2 solo exhibitions. Her work has received accolades, awards, and press recognition. Currently included in numerous private collections she hopes to win some public art commissions in the near future as well. Her M.O. shifts between painting in acrylics and sculpting i bronze. She also loves to explore and experiment with other mediums, including watercolor, oils, charcoal, pen-and ink, and fiber. Her latest body of work, Bound, represents 2 years of obsessed dedication and has convinced Ms. Griffin to pursue her art full-time.

Digital transitions:

2006-06-09T17:37:19Z

A few months ago, as a student curator, I put together a small show of works from the Light Work collection that might be of interest to some here: http://www.lightwork.org/exhibitions/past/digitaltransitions.html

I am still very much interested in what photographers and artists feel about the “digital transition”- from the chemical/mechanical process to a digital one- and how the resultant affects may be reflected, particularly in the area of fine art photography, in the near future. I believe we are still in the first part or initial phase of major changes in this field.

Some of these changes may be subtle but overall I believe they are bound to be very profound in many ways- from how work is created (captured, processed, printed, etc.) to the way it is presented, transferred, stored and so forth.

Many photographer-artists I see are still simulating Chromogenic photographic prints with their digital prints and processes and for some the “photoshopped” or heavily manipulated image already appears dated and stale, so…

what do you think the future may hold, what direction will artists and photographers turn in this creative area, aesthetically or otherwise?

anyone is encouraged to post their ideas here and/or if they have a serious interest in this area may contact me directly-

Thanks,
Christopher

Printing large format questions....

2006-04-15T04:49:34Z

I'd like to start printing some of my pieces BIG, like 48"x66" or larger. Does anyone have any advice as to who to go to? Experience with different kinds of materials? It seems like it's still very cost prohibitive to print a digital piece for resale.

Orphan works at risk

2006-03-01T12:21:08Z

From: Illustrators Partnership <IllustratorsPartnership@cnymail.com>
Date: February 27, 2006 10:32:46 AM PST
To:
Subject: The Orphan Works Express

FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS’ PARTNERSHIP

The Orphan Works Express

Congress is scheduled to commence Orphan Works hearings the first week in March. They hope to pass legislation before the end of the year. According to a source on the committee, this proposal is being fast-tracked because lawmakers think it has wide-spread support within the creative community. We need to disabuse them of this notion.

The spin that’s being put on this legislation is shrewd. Special interest groups have re-defined copyright users as “creators” of “transformative works.” They're trying to persuade lawmakers that these “creators” - and therefore, creators in general - are being hampered because of obsolete protections on work which has “little or no commercial value.” Yet the omnibus measures proposed in this Report would affect any work - old or new –that’s been published without identifying information. This would apply disproportionately to illustrations and photographs. We need to make it clear to congressmen that these interest groups do not speak for real creators and that our work has significant commercial value.

Orphan Works legislation would be retroactive. This means that all the work you’ve done during the last 28 years could fall into the Orphan Works category if it was ever published without “relevant information” on it, was improperly credited or had been re-published by others without credit. In other words, it would take only one copy of any picture you’ve ever done – published without “identifying information” on it - or with that information removed by others – to justify an infringer’s claim that he was unable to locate the author. The same thing would be true, of course, for future work.

Disputes over infringement would have to be settled in court. (And remember, copyright law is a Federal law, which means Federal court.) The worst thing that could happen to an infringer –if detected - is that a court might make him pay you a “reasonable fee.” This means there’d be no real downside for infringing. For 28 years (since the 1976 Copyright Act went into effect), you’ve been told that your work was protected “from the moment you put pen to paper.” No more. And artists who for 28 years produced work with the confidence that it was protected by that promise will find that the promise has been repealed. In effect, you could now be penalized for having believed what the government told you for the last three decades.

The plan in a nutshell. For years, Free Culture advocates such as Creative Commons have been arguing that the US should lead the way in re-imposing copyright “formalities” such as marking and registration. This would aid the spread of “free culture” because most artists would fail to mark and register their work (or marks could be removed). This would make a vast number of illustrations and photographs royalty-free for anyone to use - or for companies like Google to sell access to.

Unfortunately for the free culturists, the US can’t re-impose formalities without violating or withdrawing from the international Berne Convention, which forbids formalities. And if the US did opt out of Berne, our country would effectively become a copyright outlaw. That would hurt American trade.

So the Copyright Office has crafted their orphan works proposal as a “limitation on remedies.” This would not re-impose formalities. But it would remove or emasculate penalties for infringement, potentially in any case where an illustration or photograph was published without “relevant information” on the picture itself. In effect, this would force artists – as a hedge against infringement – to re-impose on themselves the “formalities” the government can’t. Any artist who didn’t mark his work would expose it to no-fault infringement - a very clever way to re-impose formalities without actually putting it in writing.

Remember, this is all being done in the name of promoting creativity by artists. That’s why we, as artists, will have to speak up in numbers. We have to show lawmakers that the Free Culture movement - and the creative wannabes who comb the internet looking for royalty-free work - do not represent the true creative community. We have to say that this legislation would do great harm to our ability to create and make a living from our work.

What you can do. In their effort to speed this legislation through Congress, the plan's shepherds are severely limiting testimony for and against it. That’s why your letters are important. Write to the senators and congresspersons who will be voting on this legislation, and do it as soon as possible. Express yourselves directly and frankly. You don't have to write a complicated letter, but it's important that you make certain points:

-Make it clear that you’re an artist and that you believe your small business will be endangered by placing limitations on remedies for infringement.

-Make it clear that you will never have the resources to police infringement of your work - which could occur at any time anywhere in the world.

-Make it clear that your work could be orphaned by others, no matter how diligently you do the right things to protect it.

-Make it clear that your work has significant commercial value.

For artists, this legislation would be a major revision of copyright law. The Orphan Works Report calls for a 10 year “sunset provision,” which means that Orphan Works legislation – once passed - will not be subject to reconsideration for another10 years. But if your copyrights have been laundered into the public domain during that decade, they’ll be lost to you for good as surely as the income that will be lost with them. And after 10 years of copyrighted work turning royalty-free, the market for art will be so deformed – and expectations in the marketplace so settled – that there’ll be no going back. We can’t wait until this law gets “reviewed” 10 years from now to express ourselves on it.

The government should not be allowed to create a royalty-free stockhouse out of artists’ work. Please write as soon as you can.

Does anyone know the best paper to use if I want to print a digital image on a printer, and then oil paint on it?

Thankyou,

advice needed

2005-10-28T02:22:02Z

Hello all...

I'm a newbie when it comes to selling my art so I figured I'd ask some of you who probably have way more experience.

Basically I'm wondering this:

Since our work is digital and can be reproduced infinitely how do you guys sell your stuff at any kind of a good price? Do you limit your printings and do it that way?

Also what kind of printer or facility do you use for the printing. I've heard that there are some pretty fancy processes out there that create "museum quality" printouts, whatever that mean.

Anybody know the answers to these kinds of questions?

Thanks!

Shooting since August 2005. Check me out.

2005-10-27T19:10:33Z

I'm an LA amateur photographer looking for creative collaborations on an TFCD basis. Please contact me if you like what you see on my page.

I might be willing to give TFCD headshot sessions for select individuals. To find out if you qualify, please send me (directly - don't respond to THIS chain) your absolute best and worst head shots and body shots.

Thank you.

“New Portlander” Artist Available to Help on your (Paying) Project.

2005-10-18T00:33:02Z

Hi everyone. Portland is about to become my new home, and I am looking for an artistic, dynamic, and growing environment in which to offer my services.

A bit about me. I am an intelligent, creative, talented and computer-savvy woman. I am a power user of Photoshop, and also knowledgeable in other digital paint/design tools. I have several advanced degrees, including one in Fine Arts, and one in Urban Policy. Also, I have both studied and worked as a physical sculptor. I am actively showing my artwork both nationally and internationally. (You may see my latest painting/photo work at www.jillahlstrand.com).

My management skills could also be of use, as I have honed them in the pursuit of my own business, as well as the management of large government projects.

If you have any such needs, or ponderings on who might, I would love to hear them!

Cheers,
Jill

Chrome Effects, etc.

2005-09-29T22:25:55Z

Are there any plug-ins or special effect filters in
Photoshop for the Mac (or even stand-alone applications
for the Mac) that would allow me to create the kind
of eye-popping effects that ULead's Cool3D did as a
stand-alone application for the (ugh) Windows platform?
You know, extruded text/shapes with rich textures
and chrome metallic finishes wrapped onto them?

Photoshop's "The Boss" filter doesn't really compare.

Any suggestions?
