Tim Holtz Second Comic!

Remember the comic I made last year, inspired by tag 11 from 2011? There were so many fun reactions! News of the comic went like a buzz through our creative world. So I decided to do another comic this year!

Imagining the story took me about two weeks. Then I had to find the right pictures that would tell the story. You can't imagine how many hours I spent browsing through Tim and Mario's facebook albums! And when I got them almost done I kept needing one particular pose of Tim on the telephone. The stress was really getting to me for I really needed that picture!

In the end I saw no other solution than mailing Mario and asking him to capture Tim on the phone. Well, it will be no suprise to you to hear that Mario went one step further and had Tim POSING for him! When they heard about my project they were only to happy to help me! You can imagine me doing a happy dance! All the pictures I needed were on my desk now!

 

These are the pictures Mario sent me. Which picture do you think I choose? Thank you so much, Mario and Tim, for taking the time to help me out!

 

After the downloading and running the photo's through photoshop (resizing, brighten, contrast, posterfilters etc), which took about another two weeks, I went ahead with the actual crafting of the panels. Each panel is based on a tag technique from Tim. I will tell you more about those later.
And let's not forget about the speechbubbles! Making up texts takes a lot more time than you would think!. Printing, printing again, resizing and printing a third time to fit it all on the panels.....

Let's just say: it was an interesting, playful, creative and most of al FUN journey that took about six or seven weeks to complete! I hope you are interested enough to come back tomorrow and see what it's all about.
Come back tomorrow and see the first two panels of the new comic

Tim Holtz: Magical Mystery Color!!

Enjoy!

Dylusions Creative Journal

Ik ben lekker aan het spelen met Dylusions inkten en mijn nieuwe Dyan Reavely Creative Journal. Een heerlijk album dat ik je zeker kan aanraden als je bezig gaat met art journaling. Het papier is lekker dik en stevig. De inkt gaat er niet gelijk doorheen en het album is aan de buitenkant van kraft papier zodat je het zelf kan kleuren

Hier is een leuke video van Dyan die haar nieuwe album laat zien. En hier is een tweedelige video van Dyan die laat zien hoe zij een pagina opbouwt: deel 1 en deel 2.

 Dylusions ink london blue, crushed grape.

 

Dylusions ink london blue, vibrant turquoise and a bit of fresh lime. Paint dabber white, black and juniper.

 

I love playing with dylusion inks and my new Dyan Reavely Creative Journal. I recommend this wonderful album if you want to start on art journaling. The paper is thick and smooth and won't absorb the ink too quickly. The outside is kraft paper and free to decorate to your own taste.

Here is a nice video of Dyan showing her new journal. And here are two videos of Dyan showing you her way of building an art journal page: part 1, part 2.

 

Enjoy!
