“People try to look for deep meanings in my work. I want to say, 'They're just cartoons, folks. You laugh or you don't.' Gee, I sound shallow. But I don't react to current events or other stimuli. I don't read or watch TV to get ideas. My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.” PeopleWantTryingLooksIdeasSoundWatchesLaughingEventsTvsSittingTablesFolksCurrentsDrawingSillyShallowCartoonStimulusSitting DownCurrent EventsDeep Meaning Author:Gary Larson
“In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.” IfsWellsLooksKindPersonsArtDoneBeautifulSpiritSoundVisionRecordsPlayerPaintingEarsGuitarDrawingSingersArtisticRisingSongwritersRepresentationTestamentHookSculptureGuitar PlayerDaveArtistic VisionCobain Author:Krist Novoselic
“If the air is jam-full of sounds which we tune in with, why should it not also be full of feels and smells and things seen through the spirit, drawing particles from us to them and them to us like magnets?” IfsFeelsShouldSpiritSoundAirSmellDrawingTunesParticlesJamMagnet Book:Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr Source: Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr
“Painting is drawing, with the additional means of color. Painting without drawing is just 'coloriness,' color excitement. To think of color for color's sake is like thinking of sound for sound's sake. Color is like music. The palette is an instrument that can be orchestrated to build form.” ThinkingMeanFormSoundColorPaintingInstrumentsSakeDrawingExcitementPalette Author:John French Sloan
“An animatic is a process where every voice and every sound effect is added to rough animated drawings and it lasts exactly as long as the final movie. So you actually get to go into a screening room with the rest of the cast and you get to see it all at the same time.” LongLastsProcessSoundVoiceRoomsEffectsFinalsCastsDrawingRoughAnimatedScreeningSound Effects Author:Tom Hanks
“Those who are in love with practice without knowledge are like the sailor who gets into a ship without rudder or compass and who never can be certain whether he is going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory, and to this Perspective is the guide and the gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing.” WellsMatterDoneCertainSoundPracticeTheoryPerspectiveGuidesDrawingShipsCompassSailorGatewaysRudders Book:Delphi Complete Works of Leonardo da Vinci (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Leonardo da Vinci (Illustrated)
“The reason I love comics is that they DON'T move, and there is NO sound. As a creator I have to evoke those elements in the drawings and writing, and the reader has to create those elements in their own minds.” WritingMindReasonMovingSoundReaderElementsCreatorDrawingEvoke Author:Dave McKean
“I felt like I had kind of played it out, and I wanted to see what was next, and then came Mythbusters. You know, it's the best job I've ever had, on its worst day it's better than anything else, but it's a huge amount of responsibility, and there are days when just going into work and building something from someone else's drawing sounds like going back to heaven.” KnowsKindWantedJobsNextHeavenFeltSoundResponsibilityWorstBuildingHugeAmountDrawingBest JobWorst DayBuilding SomethingMythbusters Author:Adam Savage
