The element of line is perhaps both the most basic and most limitless of all of the elements of art. It communicates emotion to us through its character, direction, implication and value. It can stand alone or even combine with others to create intricate patterns and textures.Gallery Nucleus is thrilled to reprise 2008′s Line Weight: an exhibition featuring the work of a widely diverse and highly acclaimed roster of artists. With this exhibit, we continue to explore impactful and intriguing line work with pieces created by a group some of today’s most celebrated talent.

Just came back from the exhibition at the Vincent Price Museum. Tyrus Wong’s work was amazing. , as well as Jake Lee, Milton Quon, John Kwok and George Chann. If you don’t know who Tyrus Wong is, please click here and here. He was one of the great concept artists on Bambi and has worked on a number of films live action and animated.

Here’s a blurb from the show.

“Round the Clock: Chinese American Artists Working in Los Angeles presents the work of George Chann, John Kwok, Jake Lee, Milton Quon, and Tyrus Wong, contemporary Chinese American artists who employed their  artistic abilities in their professional lives while remaining true to their own artistic pursuits in their personal lives. The exhibition will feature more than 100 works by these Los Angeles-based artists, including paintings, watercolors, storyboard illustrations, animation cells, drawings, photographs, film clips, and ephemera. Round the Clock will consider how these contemporary artists balanced their personal art-making and their professional demands; how they achieved success on their own terms in their commitment to making art in Los Angeles; and the significance of their contributions to the region’s artistic and cultural legacy”

I have this controller that’s working pretty well as hotkeys.  It’s made for Android devices but they do have beta Windows 7 drivers.  It’s Bluetooth so no extra dongle is needed and it’s very small.  A bit smaller than it appears in the photo (they use a model with small hands).  There’s a total of 7 inputs (4 on the joystick nub, and 3 on the front).  Each can be map to almost any keyboard key.

Dino Up High
Dinotopia: The Fantastical Art of James Gurney
Saturday, Jan 28, 2012 to Sunday, Apr 08, 2012
Inspired by archaeology, lost civilizations, and the art of illustration, James Gurney’s Dinotopia series of best-selling books explores a lost island where dinosaurs and shipwrecked travelers live harmoniously, side by side. Luminous paintings from three Dinotopia books, beautifully crafted drawings, and handmade models featured in this exhibition explore the wonders of the distant past through the lens of the imagination. The exhibition includes more than sixty paintings from three Dinotopia books, Dinotopia: A Land Apart From Time (1992),Dinotopia: The World Beneath (1995), and Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara (2007), and examples of the artist’s creative process, including preliminary studies, reference photos, and handmade scale models.
