The space, itself was interesting, and Chris had brought in a dynamic variety of artists.<br />

Something I did for M. Young's <a href="http://kindlinquarterly.com/index.html">The Kindlin' Quarterly</a>. At only 5 pages I'm embarrassed to admit I was exhausted. It's the first real-media thing I've done in a long time. I'll post the full comic some other time.thelfrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07322730138962699700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762289599817111175.post-29541650985459799622012-06-06T01:26:00.003-07:002012-06-06T01:27:32.418-07:0072DEMONS Book - The proof is in!<div class="tr_bq">

The first full-color proof is in! 72DEMONS was featured in the Miller gallery in Pittsburgh along with other works by Carnegie Mellon's graduating class of 2012. Check out our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/68518992@N06/sets/72157629942918864/">flickr page</a> for photos of the show last month -- plus previews of the 72DEMONS book.

<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Inspired by the Lesser Key of Solomon, comics, and 17th century grimoire, the 72DEMONS project is a venue for new and budding visual artists. Our goal is to publish an illustrated book depicting the seventy-two demons archived in the Ars Goetia, believed to be a guide written by King Solomon for summoning both helpful and malevolent spirits. Thousands of years later these entities persist, although they have changed their names and faces!<br /> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Since summer of 2011, 72DEMONS has expanded into a diverse collective of illustrators, painters, graphic designers, writers and video artists - making for one hefty book! Like what you see? What you are viewing now are only a few pieces from the first full-color proof.</span></i></blockquote>

<br />
<a href="http://www.sadsadkiddie.com/">Caitlin</a> uploaded the unedited images from the senior gallery show mailer to her <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sadsadkiddie/sets/72157629596489882/">flickr</a>. I had a lot of fun doing this. At the end of the semester trying to gather people in one place is like pulling teeth, but everyone was really into it and even contributed their own ideas to come up with these "stock image" type photos. We managed to borrow a dog and scare a few couples off of Flagstaff.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SOA had me create a t-shirt based on the graduating class' gallery show <i>Terms & Conditions</i>. It's different than my usual style. We were going for a cult/corporation theme. The logo with the eye is made up of the letters "SOA" for "School of Fine Arts". Here are some photos from the graduation reception last Sunday. </div>

New content over in the <a href="http://tarahelfer.com/comics-2/invisible-street">comics</a> section. I did this for my comics class' end-of-the-year collection <i>Lethal Comics. </i>It feels abbreviated to me. While drawing it out I had some time to reflect on feelings of distance and alienation, rather than familiarity, that comes with visiting an old neighborhood. Perhaps I'll expand on it later<i>. </i>I hope you enjoy it!</div>
