Adobe: we are not 'giving away' free CS2 suite to public:

lol whoops

Technically they were giving it away for free… until they realized that the internet caught on. Sorry boys and girls. It’s back to GIMP or Pixlr with you. (Though if you happen to have an old CS2 license, uh, it’s all yours!)

the latest in the lois-gets-her-art-stolen chronicles: a chilean publisher has decided to take this artwork, drag it through photoshop hell, and use it as a cover for this book, obviously without permission or compensation of any kind. not only is it copyright infringement but making book covers this ugly should be outlawed too.

anyways, i went through this before when i found my art printed on sweaters in south korea. i talked to a few different lawyers at the time, who told me that i needed a lawyer in the actual country that the theft was taking place. sending threatening letters from the netherlands just wasn’t the way to be taken seriously or get things solved. because i never found out who was making those korean sweaters, i decided to give up fighting after they were removed from the korean web-shops - it just wasn’t worth the money i would have to invest in pursuing it.

however, this time around i actually do know who the thief is (Puerto de Escape in Chile) and i intend to go after them. however, i need someone who is familiar with chilean law and ideally could hook me up with a lawyer in chile to help me out and give advice. i could also use advice from anyone familiar with these situations and how they can be resolved. if you guys could spread the word and e-mail me at loishh@gmail.com with any information, that would help me SO much! thanks a ton for reading!!

Help loish out, they’re a great artist and it sucks what they’ve been through.
I got super mad when they were selling sweaters with her art, so if anyone knows a lawyer in Chile!

Does Sony Pictures own your art portfolio?

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:26:35 -0500

drawnblog:

Sony Pictures (“SPE”) have posted jobs on their site for storyboard artists and visual development artists, but you might want to read the terms closely before you apply. Mark Mayerson did, and his analysis suggests you may want to look elsewhere for work:

[…] Sony takes ownership of your portfolio material when you apply for the job. If you are submitting samples of work you have done for other companies, Sony wants you to assign the rights to them. You clearly don’t have the authority to do that for work you don’t own, so that means that you are not legally allowed to show Sony work you’ve done for other companies. Sort of defeats the purpose of a submission portfolio, doesn’t it? What’s clearly disturbing though, is that any original work in your portfolio becomes their property. This does not depend on whether they hire you or not, they get ownership because you applied.

Is Mark overreacting? Well, it’s hard to take that view when SPE’s own agreement says cringeworthy things like:

…any intellectual property or materials […] shall become the sole property of SPE to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and will be considered “works made for hire” or “commissioned works” owned by SPE.

Or this little gem:

SPE […] shall be entitled to the unrestricted use of Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or additional compensation to you.

What the what now?? Maybe someone from Sony Pictures can speak up to clarify this?

(Thanks to James Provost for this tip!)

Heads up.

Start with an idea and a loose sketch!

brush settings:: size jitter = pen pressure : Angle = 70 : Roundness = 60%

This is what it looks like with those layers applied over the illustration

Add the tattoos, adjust the levels, and I'm done!

Here’s a little making-of my Yakuza illustration for the exhibition, Battles without Honor and Humanity, at Floating World Comics in Portland Oregon on September 15.

Thanks to Ryan Andrews for sharing his technique on his Tumblr blog. I like his quick method of getting a simple palette. *steals it*

Alejandro Guijarro - Momentum (2010-12)

“The artist travelled to the great quantum mechanics institutions of the world and, using a large-format camera, photographed blackboards as he found them. Momentum displayed the photographs in life-size.

Before he walked into a lecture hall Guijarro had no idea what he might find. He began by recording the blackboard with the minimum of interference. No detail of the lecture hall was included, the blackboard frame was removed and we are left with a surface charged with abstract equations. Effectively these are documents. Yet once removed from their institutional beginnings the meaning evolves. The viewer begins to appreciate the equations for their line and form. Color comes into play and the waves created by the blackboard eraser suggest a vast landscape or galactic setting. The formulas appear to illustrate the worlds of Quantum Mechanics. What began as a precise lecture, a description of the physicist’s thought process, is transformed into a canvas open to any number of possibilities.”

A couple pages from an old sketchbook I forgot I had. I tend to, uh, restock my sketchbook/journal collection more often than I finish them…

Hey Memeticist followers, thanks for tagging along for the occasional art & design inspiration! I started up a separate blog for my original work as Leila Mycro. I don’t reblog myself on Memeticist, but if you’d like to keep up with my illustration & design, you’re more than welcome! I do take requests, so let me know if there’s something you’d like to see. Thanks!
