"Manchmal hat das etwas sehr Mysteriöses, wenn Frauen rauchen", sagt Peter Lindbergh, der bekannte Starfotograf, der die Schönen, wie Hanna Schygulla, Annie Morton, Karen Ferrari und viele andere berühmte Modelle fotografiert hat.”

Peter Lindbergh, born Peter Brodbeck, was a German photographer and filmmaker born on November 23, 1944 in Leszno, Poland. In 1978 Peter Lindbergh moved to Paris and started working internationally for Vogue, first the Italian, then the English, French, German, and American Vogue; The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone. In 1988, Anna Wintour is editor in chief at American Vogue and signed Lindbergh for the magazine. He shot Miss Wintour’s first, then the revolutionary American Vogue, November 1988, cover.

He made portraits of Catherine Deneuve, Mick Jagger, Charlotte Rampling, Nastassja Kinski, Tina Turner, John Travolta, Madonna, Sharon Stone, John Malkovich and many others.

His first book, 10 Women by Peter Lindbergh, a black and white portfolio of ten top contemporary models, was published in 1996 and had sold more than 100,000 copies as of 2008.

Twice he has shot the Pirelli calendar, in 1996 and in 2002. The latter, which  featured actresses instead of models for the first time, was shot on the back lot of Universal Studios and was described by Germaine Greer as “Pirelli’s most challenging calendar yet”.

There have been dozens of exhibitions featuring Peter Lindbergh’s work around the world since his photography was included in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Shots of Style exhibition in London in 1985.

After its Paris debut, Comme des Garçons exhibited a solo show of photographs by Peter Lindbergh at “Centre George Pompidou” in Paris in 1986.

Peter Lindbergh's Smoking Women, first shown in the Galerie Gilbert Brownstone in Paris in 1992, travelled to Tokyo's Bunkamura Gallery in 1994 and the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt in 1996. The same year, prompted by the reaction to the 1994 show, the Bunkamura Museum of Art accorded Peter Lindbergh a retrospective,

For the week of 10 June 2019

Quick Bits:

Age of Conan: Bêlit #4 sets up a rivalry with a high priest from Stygia in this penultimate issue. Tini Howard, Kate Niemczyk, Scott Hanna, Jason Keith, and Travis Lanham guide us through more of Bêlit’s family history and hints of madness.

| Published by Marvel

Age of X-Man: Marvelous X-Men #5 is the first of these minis to reach their end, but it’s far from a conclusion. While the team and Psylocke find out the nature of reality as everything starts unravelling, much still remains hanging, and the conclusion is set for Age of X-Man: Omega. Great art from Marco Failla and Matt Milla.

| Published by Marvel

Amber Blake #4 concludes what has been an entertaining thriller from Jade Lagardère, Butch Guice, Mike Perkins, Dan Brown, and Robbie Robbins. Some nice twists and surprises as this story ends.

| Published by IDW

Archie #705 is part one of “Archie & Sabrina”. I quite like the change to the trade dress to reflect that, giving the appearance of a limited series for the arc, while maintaining the ongoing numbering. Nice Spencer, Sandy Jarrell, Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli do a great job moving through Cheryl’s “Bachelor” plans to hints of things to come, along with impending conflict between Betty and Veronica.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman & The Outsiders #2 spotlights the battle between Ishmael and the team as he goes for Sofia. Great art from Dexter Soy and Veronica Gandini. The little bits of occult belief and practice Bryan Hill gives to Ishmael are interesting.

| Published by DC Comics

Bronze Age Boogie #3 is another fun issue, pitting Li against Lynda for the Martians’ amusement. The pieces are all coming together nicely. Also, the “Major Ursa” back-up is just about the best thing ever.

| Published by Ahoy

By Night #12 is a bit of a weird one for the conclusion to this series, focusing almost solely on our side of the rift and what happens down the line for everyone. Still, this has been an entertaining series from John Allison, Christine Larsen, Sarah Stern, and Jim Campbell. 

| Published by Boom Entertainment / BOOM! Box

Calamity Kate #4 brings this series from Magdalene Visaggio, Corin Howell, Valentina Pinto, and Zakk Saam to a close. It’s still a bit of a head-scratcher, wondering how much is real and how much is a manifestation of Kate’s issues with her break-up, but it’s entertaining.

| Published by Dark Horse

Detective Comics #1005 concludes the Arkham Knight’s “Medieval” arc from Peter J. Tomasi, Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, Nathan Fairbairn, and Rob Leigh. It’s really weird seeing Anton Arcane as anyone’s lackey, but that aside this is still a decent conclusion. The art from Walker, Hennessy, and Fairbairn is incredible.

| Published by DC Comics

The Empty Man #8 is the end of the series. For now at least. It’s a satisfying conclusion for this horror story from Cullen Bunn, Jesús Hervás, Niko Guardia, and Ed Dukeshire, even as it leaves hooks for the possibility of more. Very interesting bits of body horror and ideas about infection.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

The Flash #72 continues “Year One” from Joshua Williamson, Howard Porter, Hi-Fi, and Steve Wands. Once again, the artwork from Porter and Hi-Fi is phenomenal. The layouts, the action, the sheer visual storytelling is incredible.

| Published by DC Comics

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #7 is the first part of “Feast or Famine” from Tom Taylor, Ken Lashley, Nolan Woodard, and Travis Lanham. It’s May’s grand reopening of the FEAST shelter and it appears as though people are angry that it’s happening.

| Published by Marvel

Gogor #2 is possibly even better than the first issue, giving more focus to the tale even as Ken Garing does more world-building. This is a very interesting fantasy story, with fascinating characters and regions, and beautiful artwork.

| Published by Image

Hawkman #13 gives us a single-issue story from Robert Venditti, Will Conrad, Jeremiah Skipper, and Richard Starkings & Comicraft on the endless cycle of war. It’s a good bit of decompression following “Cataclysm” and Bryan Hitch’s run, using Carter’s endless resurrection to show the toll of battle on one planet.

| Published by DC Comics

Immortal Hulk #19 is another incredible issue in this amazing run, with Al Ewing, Joe Bennett, Ruy José, Belardino Brabo, Paul Mounts, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Cory Petit delivering hard on the new Abomination and Harpy. The body horror aspect of this story is ratcheted up even higher.

| Published by Marvel

Infinite Dark #7 looks like it’s building for a catastrophe for the end of this arc at a magnitude even greater than losing the outer ring in the first arc, as the remaining portion of the station gets plunged into the dark here. The level of tension that Ryan Cady, Andrea Mutti, K. Michael Russell, and Troy Peteri are creating here is about to explode.

| Published by Image / Top Cow

Joe Golem: Occult Detective - Conjurors #2 sees Joe brought back to life by Simon Church, against the objections of Simon’s ghost friends, and sets up the road to what looks like might be a new status quo, bringing forth an old direction. Great art from Peter Bergting and Michelle Madsen. I really quite like the murky appearance of the underwater scenes.

| Published by Dark Horse

Justice League Odyssey #10 gets a new logo while the team continues their search for relics for Darkseid. Also, more intrigue as they still don’t exactly know whether they can trust one another. Dan Abnett, Daniel Sampere, Juan Albarran, FCO Plascencia, and AndWorld Design are telling an interesting story here.

| Published by DC Comics

The Life & Death of Toyo Harada #4 enacts Angela’s plan on the rest of the team with explosive results. It’s interesting to see everything burnt to ash along the way. The flashbacks into Harada’s life this issue are illustrated by Diego Yapur and they’re worth it on their own, but you also get the present day material beautifully rendered by CAFU.

| Published by Valiant

Outer Darkness #7 begins the second arc from John Layman, Afu Chan, and Pat Brosseau. We get a little bit of Rigg’s past, more of the crew’s aggressive behaviour towards one another, and a rescue mission as an 18th century mansion tries to swallow another ship. This is the good, weird stuff.

| Published by Image / Skybound

The Punisher #12 begins Frank’s trek back to New York in the first part of “War on the Streets” from Matthew Rosenberg, Szymon Kudranski, Antonio Fabela, and Cory Petit. Great art from Kudranski and Fabela as Frank fights off a squad of Hydra goons on a remote island.

| Published by Marvel

The Ride: Burning Desire #1 returns for The Ride’s 15th anniversary, with a lead story from Doug Wagner, Daniel Hillyard, Laura Martin, and Ed Dukeshire, and a back-up illustrated by Adam Hughes. Nice set-up picking up on where Vega is now fifteen years later. And more depraved cops.

| Published by Image

Silver Surfer: Black #1 is another leg in Donny Cates’ redefinition of the Marvel Cosmic, joined here by Tradd Moore, Dave Stewart, and Clayton Cowles. This reminds me a bit of the George Perez/Tom Grindberg run from ages ago, with some incredible artwork from Moore and Stewart.

| Published by Marvel

Sonata #1 is a fairly imaginative sci-fi/fantasy debut from David Hine, Brian Haberlin, Geirrod van Dyke, and Francis Takenaga. It introduces us to to races of colonizers in the Ran and the Tayans, bringing conflict with them as they try to carve out new lives on Perdita. Beautiful artwork from Haberlin and van Dyke.

| Published by Image / Shadowline

Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions #5 closes out this series of takes on different perspectives on Darth Vader with a barkeep suffering hallucinations as he tries to flee from Vader’s wrath, from Dennis Hallum, Geraldo Borges, Marcio Menyz, and Joe Caramagna.

| Published by Marvel

Supergirl #31 is pretty much concurrent with Superman #12, though you should probably read Superman first if you’re reading both of them. There’s no need to read both, though, as it stands well enough on its own. This one presents the reunion of the House of El from Kara’s perspective and then continues on the battle against Gandelo.

| Published by DC Comics

Superman #12 reunites the entire House of El amidst the battle with Rogol Zaar and the fleets trying to kill Jor-El. There’s foreshadowing of more “everything you know is wrong!” about Krypton’s destruction and Superman’s origin, which may or may not rub you the wrong way, but I find it entertaining. Especially with the beautiful artwork from Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, Oclair Albert, and Alex Sinclair.

| Published by DC Comics

Transformers #7 is part one of “The Cracks Beneath Your Feet”, with Brian Ruckley, Angel Hernandez, Andrew Griffith, Anna Malkova, Joana Lafuente, Josh Burcham, and Tom B. Long picking up again in the present, following up on the second recent murder on Cybertron. It’s fairly morose, as you’d expect, as Bumblebee laments the loss of the new spark, Rubble.

| Published by IDW

Trust Fall #1 is a great debut from the Dead Letters team of Christopher Sebela and Chris Visions, with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou providing his usual outstanding lettering to round out the team. It’s another crime drama, with the interesting twist of a family member with teleportation powers. Visions’ art is amazing and the hook of the family being set-up to fall right as they’re ready to move on to bigger and better waters is enticing.

| Published by AfterShock

V-Wars: God of Death feels more like a tease than a discrete story. The good news is that you don’t need to have read any of the previous V-Wars stories, as this fills you in on what you need to know, the bad news is that there’s no indication as to anything else coming next. Still, great art from Alex Milne and Brittany Peer.

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m)  Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Prefixes Blåbær- (blueberry) Bringebær- (raspberry) Bjørke- (birch) Aspe- (asp) Kastanje- (chestnut) Solsikke- (sun flower) Blåklokke- (blue bell) Nype- (rosehip) Kirke- (church) Park- (park)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road)  -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Anna Arnfriðr (Arnfrid) Ása Bera Bergdís (Bergdis) Biørg (Bjørg) Cecilia Cecilie Christina Dagný (Dagny) Dagrún (Dagrun) Dís Dísa Edda Elin Ellisif (Ellisiv) Freyja (Freya) Friða (Frida) Frigg Gerðr (Gerd) Gertrud Grima Gyða (Gyda) Hadda Hallbéra Hallkatla Herdís (Herdis) Hildigunnr (Hildegunn) Huld Hvít Ida Iðunn (Idun, Idunn) Ingríðr (Ingrid) Johanna Jórunn (Jorun, Jorunn) Juliana Katla Katrine Kristín (Kristin) Leikný (Leikny) Lif (Liv) Magnhildr (Magnhild) Mjøll Myrgiol Nál Nanna Nótt Oda Oddný (Oddny) Ólaug (Olaug) Rafnhildr (Ragnhild) Rán Rannveíg Ríkví (Rikvi, Rikke) Rúna (Runa) Roskva Sága (Saga) Sif (Siv) Sigriðr (Sigrid) Skaði (Skadi) Skuld Svana Sýn Solveig Tekla Tóra (Tora) Trana Ulfhildr (Ulfhild) Una Urðr (Urd) Valborg Vigdís (Viigdis) Vírún Yngvildr (Ingvill, Ingvild) Yrsa

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

2019 INKWELL AWARDS VOTING RESULTS AND CEREMONY

A little late posting this here…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (New Bedford, MA/USA—April 13, 2019) The Inkwell Awards released the list of winners of its 11th annual awards for excellence in the art form of comic-book inking. Nominees were chosen by a separate and independent nomination committee. This year the process was enhanced by inviting professional ink artists to submit their top work for consideration in each category. Nominators could also submit their own nominees and include inkers from both sources. For the first time, the same candidate could no longer be nominated for both the Favorite Inker and the Props categories. Voting by professionals and fans took place in February for two weeks on the official ballot at the non-profit advocacy’s website. One winner was chosen in each of five categories based on American interior comic-book work cover-dated 2018.

In addition, the Inkwells’ internal committee selected the two inductees of the annual Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame and two recipients for the Stacey Aragon Special Recognition Award (SASRA). Some of the winners were present (along with special guests) to receive their trophies on April 12 at The Great Philadelphia Comic Con! in Oaks, PA, the new host show for the Inkwells.

Winners are listed below with nominated credits and the percentage of votes received, where applicable. In four of the five categories, winners won with approximately twice as much as the next leading candidate, the largest margins in the awards’ history.

FAVORITE INKER: Walden Wong (48%) (Astonishing X-Men, Captain America Annual, Incredible Hulk, Marvel Two-In-One, Venom [Marvel]) Other nominees: Jay Leisten, Mark Morales, Joe Prado, Trevor Scott, Dexter Vines

(Same above credits.) Other nominees: Marc Deering, Jay Leisten, Norm Rapmund, Cam Smith

PROPS AWARD (inker deserving of more attention): Elisabetta D’Amico (30%)

(G.I. Joe [IDW]; Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spider-Men II [Marvel])                                                                                                          

Other nominees: Eber Ferreira, Ruy Jose, Daniel Henriques, Jordi Tarragona, Le Beau Underwood

        THE STACEY ARAGON SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD (SASRA): Jack Davis and Marie Severin Other nominees: Pat Broderick, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Frank Chiaramonte, Johnny Craig, Mike Esposito, Michael Golden, Don Heck, Rick Ketchum, Peter Krause, Erik Larsen, Norman Lee, Steve Lieber, Todd McFarlane, Frank McLaughlin, Dave Simons

Mike Pascale wrote “Today we have two posthumous winners, but they have more than that in common. Both are Atom-Age alumni of the legendary EC Comics:

First is JACK DAVIS, one of the most loved and prolific artists in both comics and illustration. Jack was first published in Tip Top Comics, 1936, at the tender age of 12. After a stint in the Navy, the University of Georgia’s magazine and inking newspaper strips, Jack eventually joined Bill Gaines’s EC bullpen in 1950 as their fastest artist, pencilling and inking every genre including horror, war, western, science fiction, drama and of course humor. He was the cover and lead artist for Al Feldstein’s Tales From the Crypt and a founding member of Harvey Kurtzman’s “Usual Gang Of Idiots” for MAD, where he created laughs for 40 years. Over a half-century, Jack’s intricately inked and controlled color chaos graced the covers of TV Guide and Time magazine, several iconic trading card sets from Topps and others, and dozens of movie posters and album covers. Jack passed away in 2016 at the ripe age of 91. He was a SASRA runner-up in 2015 and nominee again in 2017.



The other recipient is MARIE SEVERIN who’s never been nominated for this category but regrettably left us just last year at 89. Another comedic action master, Marie started in comics in 1949 as a colorist for her brother John at EC. She studied color and its applications, making EC stand out amongst its more garish imitators. Marie’s comics artist career began at Marvel when they needed an artist for an Esquire magazine article. Upon seeing her work, Stan Lee gave her the art chores on Doctor Strange. In addition to a stint as their head colorist, she drew many major characters including a historic Silver Age run on The Incredible Hulk. She won an industry Shazam Award and was nominated for two others in the humor division for her landmark work in Not Brand Echh! and Crazy! magazine. In 1976 she designed and co-created Spider-Woman. She had a 50-plus year comics career and was inducted into the Eisner Hall Of Fame and won a Comic-Con International Icon Award.”

  THE JOE SINNOTT HALL OF FAME: Neal Adams and Dan Adkins

Other nominees: John Beatty, Brett Breeding, Karl Kesel, Bob Layton, Pablo Marcos, Allen Milgrom, Bob Wiacek, Bernie Wrightson

J. David Spurlock shared: “Neal Adams is one of the most celebrated artists in the history of comicbooks. His work on Batman, Green Lantern, X-Men, Deadman, and the Avengers is literally, legendary. Adams has likewise been a staunch, innovative supporter of creator rights over the decades, fighting for art returns, royalties for all comics artists, and in the ’70s, he was key to securing a pension for the creators of Superman. This is the first time Adams has been celebrated specifically for his unique virtuosity with brush and ink.”

      “Dan Adkins’ career spanned from T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents with Wally Wood, to drawing Dr. Strange in the far-out ’60s, launching Conan the Barbarian with Barry Windsor-Smith, classics featuring the Sub-Mariner and Silver Surfer with John Buscema, to art for sci-fi magazines and Creepy horror comics. Adkins’ work helped entertain millions of people, and he mentored a new generation. It is very deserving that the sometime Pennsylvanian is being honored here and now.”

  Joe Sinnott, the award’s namesake and first winner, made the following statement about this year’s inductees: “I was thrilled to learn of the 2 newest members to be inducted into the Inkwell Awards Hall of Fame. Neal Adams has certainly made his mark in the comic industry. When I think of Neal, I am drawn to his work on Batman and Green Arrow. Also running Continuity Associates Studio in NYC that gave many new up and coming young artists their start in comics. Neal and I were fortunate enough to work together on two Thor stories (#s 180 & 181). Then decades later we were asked to work together once more on a Batman blank cover to support the Inkwell Awards. That was certainly a lot of fun.

“Dan Adkins has also had a long distinguished career in comics. Dan was a great penciller in his own right, but primarily as an inker. His work on the Dr. Strange comics is what I remember him best for. Dan, like me, was a very sought-after inker, having inked a number of artists, far too many to count. His ink line sure brought out the best in many pencillers. He is truly missed.

“It is with great pride and pleasure that we get to welcome these two fine artists and inkers into the Inkwell Awards family. Congratulations on your election into the Inkwell Awards Hall of Fame, and the newest recipients of the Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award, class of 2019.

“Well done, Gentlemen!”

The live awards ceremony featured an introduction by Inkwell Awards founder and director Bob Almond as host/MC, followed by Guest of Honor and 2012 Sinnott Hall of Fame Award recipient Mark McKenna (scheduled keynote speaker Scott Hanna, a 9-time Inkwell award recipient, was sick and not available Friday) who discussed the art form of comic-book inking and his 30-year career. Both were joined by two hostesses and spokesmodels as “Ms. Inkwell,” portrayed by Hailey Skaza-Gagne and Kathy Denise Taylor. Convention host J.M. Clark presented the five category awards. Clark and Almond each presented one of the two lifetime achievement awards.

Continuing for the second year was the Above & Beyond Award, for organization members who have performed exceptionally (or others in comics who have made special efforts to advance the art form of inking). Two were handed out by last year’s winner, Hailey Skaza-Gagne (the longest-running Ms. Inkwell spokesmodel), to      Michael Hoskin, the second person to annually serve on the nomination committee for its 10-year existence; and Shelton Drum, creator/promoter of HeroesCon, who invited the organization to host its first live ceremony at the show in 2011 and annually through 2018.

Almond also awarded “Silver Inkwells” for five years of service to four nomination committee members: Jim Johnson, Edward Harris, Damon Owens and Shawn Pryor. Full acceptance statements from the winners will be found in the “Award Recipients” section of the Inkwell Awards’ website in the near future.

Why another awards program? I’m so glad you asked. The Design Files Design Awards isn’t quite like other programs. We wanted to create an awards program to acknowledge the huge variety of design and creativity we champion here on The Design Files – from small scale, handcrafted practices, to creative collaborations, right through to architecture, landscape design and interiors. There’s no hierarchy here – we feel that the people working across all these disciplines each make a uniquely important contribution to pushing creative culture forward in Australia.

Looking at the great variety of architects, designers, and creative practitioners shortlisted below, we feel that this program really does present a succinct snapshot of Australia’s most exciting creative happenings right now!

The photographs you see here are merely a *taste* of the creative projects who’ve been shortlisted in these awards. Not all projects are pictured – yet!

Ein inspirierender Anlass in die englische Hauptstadt zu reisen: die COLLECT 2017. Diese 13. Edition der Messe für Sammlerobjekte, ausgerichtet durch den britischen Crafts Council in der Saatchi Gallery London vom 02. bis 06. Februar 2017, beeindruckte wie ihre Vorgänger durch erlesene Klarheit und facettenreiche Vielfalt in hellen, hohen Räumen. Eine tolle Bilderserie entstand während der Eröffnung “Collector’s night”: man kann sich diese Menschen und Objekte auf der Crafts Council Facebookseite anschauen.

COLLECT 2017 – Flow Gallery

COLLECT 2017 – Sarah Myerscough Gallery

Die unterschiedlichen Objekte kamen hier wunderbar zur Geltung, behaupteten sich als Solitaire selbstbewusst in der Nachbarschaft weiterer Solitaire oder verbündeten sich sogar mit diesen zu aussergewöhnlichen Stilleben. Natürlich gab es auch reichlich formale „Kakophonie“. Doch das ist nun einmal so, wenn so viele Individualisten aufeinander treffen. Gut beraten waren jene Gallerien, die sich auf ein Gewerk oder eine Stilrichtung konzentrierten oder einem „Primus inter pares“ die Logenplätze auf ihrem Stand überliessen.

COLLECT 2017 – Sarah Myerscough Gallery

Bemerkenswert war in diesem Zusammenhang die Präsentation der Sarah Myerscough Gallery, die in einem minimalistischen Setting ausschliesslich die Werke von renommierten Holzkünstlern vorstellte. Das war sehr wohltuend. Jene Stände, die nach dem Motto „viel hilft viel“ eingerichtet waren schreckten mich eher ab – denn zu viel dreidimensionaler Eigensinn führt schnell zur Überforderung. Wie subjektiv meine Einschätzung ist belegt die Tatsache, dass den „schönsten Stand Preis“ genau ein solcher Stand bekam. (Scottisch Gallery)

COLLECT 2017 – Vessel Gallery

COLLECT 2017 – Vessel Gallery

Glas in bestechender Vielfalt zeigte sich als das Material des Jahres, auch wenn Keramik dennoch unangefochten Spitzenreiter unter den Materialien bleibt. Gemeinsam mit Buntmetallen und Holz befanden sich alle im heimlichen Wettbewerb um die erstaunlichste Oberfläche … zumeist eines Gefässes, denn „das Gefäss“ ist und bleibt das unerschütterliche Hauptthema des Kunsthandwerks, auch wenn die Prämisse des „form follows function“ schon längst keine Allgemeingültigkeit mehr hat. Die Zahl der Künstler, die sich weiter hinaus wagen um ihr Material in bildhauerischer Freiheit, abstrakt oder figurativ, zu inszenieren, ist immer noch in der Minderheit. Großartig wo es gelingt!

Spektakuläre Oberflächen stehen aktuell im Focus des Interesses. Sie sind zumeist inspiriert von organischem Wachstum, aber durchaus auch geometrisch konstruiert. Zutiefst beeindruckend und oft verstörend nahe an akribischer Fleissarbeit aus tausenderlei Schuppen, Röhrchen, Tentakeln montiert – manchen Ergebnissen des 3D-Drucks verblüffend ähnlich. Dennoch scheint ihr Reiz für die Künstler ungebrochen. Gleichzeitig lebt die Lust an der Imitation von gelebten, verbrauchten, verkrusteten und aufbrechenden Schichten und Strukturen, zähem Erstarren überlaufender Materie in sattem Überfluss oder filigraner Tropfnase mit fast zeichnerischer Qualität. Indem ich mich bemühe das zu beschreiben fange ich an zu verstehen, warum das alles so faszinierend sein kann.

Über Grenzen zwischen angewandter Kunst und freier Kunst spricht man derzeit nicht mehr viel. Stattdessen geniesst man die Freizügigkeit eines hemmungslosen „cross overs“ – die sich für manche, insbesondere technisch akribische Handwerkskünstler dann doch als tückische Gratwanderung entpuppt. Die Virtuosität der Ausführung mit Idee und Gestalt in einen selbstverständlich souveränen Einklang zu bringen zeichnet die wirklich hohe angewandte Kunst aus. Da ist es am Ende gleich, ob ein Schmuckstück, ein Stuhl, eine Schale oder ein freies Objekt herauskommt. Es sollte nur diese magische innere Balance haben, die im Betrachter überwältigende Bewunderung auslöst. Da jeder Besucher, Kenner, Sammler mit ganz unterschiedlichen und sehr individuellen Vorgaben auf das Ganze blickt findet jeder schliesslich seine persönlichen Favoriten. Die offizielle Auszeichnung als beste Ausstellerin bekam die britische Keramikerin Claire Curneen  – sehr weit weg fühle ich mich von diesem Votum.

Ich selbst war und bin hin- und her gerissen. Der Nachwuchs im Areal der COLLECT OPEN überzeuge mich sehr – ich werde darauf zurück kommen. Hier einige meiner ganz subjektiven Lieblingsstücke:

COLLECT 2017: Jochen Ott: Halcyon I & II, 2017 – optisches Glas, gegossen, geschnitten, geschliffen, daneben Layne Rowe: New Horizon II, 2017

Zwei Glasfragmente des deutschen Glaskünstlers Jochen Ott bestechen durch ihre aufregende Einfachheit und durch ihre Farbe: tiefes „Gold“, das wie Honig glüht und wie Bernstein schimmert. Jeder Blickwechsel offenbart ein neues Spiel, in der Korrespondenz und Verschmelzung der transparenten Objekte mit ihrer Umgebung. Glasbrocken, mit messerscharfen Kanten und „Bruchflächen“ die sich nach innen wenden, spiegeln, multiplizieren, das Aussen nach drinnen holen … sicher nichts grundsätzlich Innovatives für Objekte aus optischem Glas, aber faszinierend weil sie so viele zauberhafte Impressionen bieten ohne selbst ein technischer Firlefanz zu sein.

COLLECT 2017: Ashraf Hanna – Glasobjekt – Lavender Green Form 38cms x 35cms x 9cms

Die schlichte Eleganz der satinierten Glasobjekte des in England lebenden Ägypters Ashraf Hanna wird durch das Wechselspiel von konvexen und konkaven Formen bestimmt. Geradezu kalligraphischen Qualität haben die sich überschneidenden, das Objekt sparsam umschreibenden Linien, die vor der farbigen, diffusen Transparenz der Körper zu schweben scheinen. Mit jedem Schritt und Blick der das Objekt umkreist offenbart sich ein neuer Eindruck, eine neue Wahrheit für den Betrachter.

COLLECT 2017 Anne Marie Laurey – keramische Objekte – Foto: Sophie Mutevelian auf der collector’s preview

Wie Wolkengewächse schrauben sich die voluminösen Keramikobjekte der Belgierin Anne Marie Laureys dynamisch in den Raum und verbreiten mit ihren samtig matten Oberflächen eine eher textile Anmutung, in der Schwere und Leichtigkeit erstaunliche Synergien entfalten. Die Keramikerin manipuliert auf der Scheibe gedrehte, äusserst dünnwandige Formen von oft beeindruckender Größe hin zu amorphen Abstraktionen, in denen das Gefäss in organischem Wachstum aufgelöst und an die Grenze technischer Möglichkeiten geführt wird. Nachdem ich selbst nicht schlecht staunte betrachtete ich mit größtem Vergnügen das ungläubige Staunen der anderen.

COLLECT 2017 – Katie Spragg – Wiesenstück

Katie Spragg – Wildness – Porzellan, Beton

Dem Unkraut, den Grasnarben – der Flora am Wegesrand und in Ruinen – setzt die junge Keramikerin Katie Spragg berührende Denkmäler. Ihre 1:1 Kopien in Porzellan und Keramik wirken unendlich zart und zerbrechlich. Doch ihr Thema ist die Schönheit, die Zähigkeit und das Selbstbewußtsein dieser Spezies, der wir landläufig mit Geringschätzung begegnen. Behutsam hebt sie diese Zauberwerke – Repliken der Natur – auf den Sockel oder in Guckkästen und damit in unsere Wahrnehmung. Total romantisch, ökologisch korrekt, fremd vertraut ziehen diese unsere Blicke auf sich und rühren zutiefst. Das Victoria and Albert Museum kaufte gleich das Objekt ‘Hedgerow’ und ich entdeckte auf ihrer Homepage meinen Favoriten: „Wildeness“ – Porzellangräser wachsen aus den Ritzen von Ruinen.

Fernanda Cortes: La-la-la (In blood), 2016 Hand-sculpted earthenware, coloured slips, shiny red and transparent glaze 16 9/10 × 35 2/5 × 7 9/10 in 43 × 90 × 20 cm

Schliesslich muss ich Ihnen noch “La-la-la” (in bood) vorstellen – ein verdammt aktueller, cooler Hund, schwungvoll, lässig und dynamisch von der mexikanischen Künstlerin und Designerin Fernanda Cortes modelliert. Ihre Figuren vereinen Freude UND Schrecken. Sie sind immer Wesen die sich zwischen Menschlichkeit und Unmenschlichkeit bewegen, Spassvögel und Angstmacher – traumhaft von ihrer Schöpferin auf den Punkt gebracht!

off the rack #1146

Monday, January 9, 2017

 We're in the deep freeze right now in Ottawa with more snow forecast. This winter has been great for my cardio and arms. I like to think that my weight gain over the holidays is due to muscle build up and not from eating too much. I'm taking the old X-Trail into the dealer this morning to get my driver's side door fixed. It won't unlock so I have to climb in from the passenger seat. I wish cars still had bench front seats like in the old days, then I wouldn't have to contort my body to get over the stick shift.

 I spent most of Sunday at a Card and Comic Show with my partner Chris R. I forgot how much fun it is to hang out and talk comic books with like minded fans. It's just a small monthly affair at an arena so no special guests or people cosplaying, just collectors looking for stuff. It's worth being there even if we only break even.

 U.S.Avengers #1 - Al Ewing (writer) Paco Medina (pencils) Juan Vlasco (inks) Jesus Aburtov (colours) VC's Chris Eliopoulos (letters). I don't know when this story was written but there are statements made in here that seem to reflect what happened in the U.S.A. during the recent presidential election. Al thinks that the villains are now in power. Not if this new Avengers team has anything to say about it. This is an excellent introduction to all the team members so even for someone who has never read a Marvel comic book before can get these characters right away. I just wish they could have come up with something different for a villain than the gold skull guy.

 Batman #14 - Tom King (writer) Mitch Gerads (art & colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). Batman gets very handsy with Catwoman on the cover by Tim Sale. He's got a hand on her face, his right hand in her left hand and a hand on her back. Maybe the hand on her back is a mechanical one that comes out of his utility belt. A no prize goes to by friend Chris L. for spotting that. In part 1 of "Rooftops" the Bat and the Cat have a date night. In the morning she goes to Blackgate prison for her many crimes. I say that's not going to happen.

 The Unstoppable Wasp #1 - Jeremy Whitley (writer) Elsa Charretier (art) Megan Wilson (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Not Janet van Dyne, who has been around since 1963, but a younger Wasp for a whole new generation of fans. Nadia Pym may not be a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant but she is for sure the daughter of Hank (Ant-Man) Pym, founding Avenger and recent super villain that melded with Ultron. She is also a genius and an escaped Red Room scientist. I know it sounds complicated but Jeremy does a great job of recapping her origin story. It's a good thing I'm a fan of Gilmore Girls because this Wasp talks a mile a minute. Guest stars include Ms. Marvel and Mockingbird for some serious girl bonding. Girl Power is the focus of this series. I could give it to any of my ten nieces and I think they would enjoy it.

 The Flintstones #7 - Mark Russell (writer) Rick Leonardi (pencils) Scott Hanna (inks) Chris Chuckry (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). Woohoo, it's the Great Gazoo. Too bad he's only recording the evolution of the citizens of Bedrock and doesn't do any magic like the cartoon show character. I loved the Great Gazoo and how he would help Fred and Barney get out of trouble.

 Deadpool the Duck #1 - Stuart Moore (writer) Jacopo Camagni (art) Israel Silva (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). I suppose that's less confusing than calling this 5-issue mini Howard the Deadpool. This mash-up might be new to you younger fans but I remember Amalgam comic books. You had to be there. Howard and Wade get melded together with a little help from Rocket Raccoon and off we go. The rest of this story will probably involve trying to get the two separated. If you're a fan of any of these three oddballs you'll enjoy this.

 Superman #14 - Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason (writers) Ivan Reis (layouts) Joe Prado (finishes) Marcelo Maiolo (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). Here we go with a new story called "Multiplicity". It involves the consumption of the life forces of all the Supermen from the Multiverse. Shades of Spider-Verse. It starts with Superman: Red Son trying to escape capture and meeting "our" Superman. The bad guys want the New Superman (the Asian one) and after the Superman of Earth 23 shows up with his Justice League Incarnate, they go off to rescue Kenan Kong, not a great ape Superman but the Chinese one. As you can probably tell there are a lot of heroes here and plenty to keep you reading. I wonder who the Big Bad is?

 Champions #4 - Mark Waid (writer) Humberto Ramos (pencils) Victor Olazaba (inks) Edgar Delgado (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Lots of action this issue as the team works together to escape capture by blue Atlanteans. I like all these kids and the team dynamic is fluid and interesting to watch develop. There's a new member waiting in the wings and I am looking forward to seeing this one in action because I have never read any of their comic books.

 Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #3 - Joshua Williamson (writer) Jesus Merino (pencils) Andy Owens (inks) Alex Sinclair & Jeremiah Skipper (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). The real bad guys of team three are formally introduced this issue. What did I tell you, the Justice League and the Suicide Squad have to work together to keep Max Lord's team from getting a weapon that will help him take over the world. Oh, and they want to kill Amanda Waller while they're at it. Can I get a bwa-ha-ha?

 Moon Knight #10 - Jeff Lemire (writer) Greg Smallwood (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). This issue starts the 5 part "Death and Birth" story where I hope we finally see Marc Spector's multiple personality disorder cleared up once and for all. I am sticking with this book because I have been a fan ever since he was created as Marvel's version of Batman. Jeff's writing is solid but I have to admit that Francesco Francavilla's art almost turned me off this book.

 Hawkeye #2 - Kelly Thompson (writer) Leonardo Romero (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). Kate's belligerent attitude is starting to get on my nerves. If she continues to be a jerk I will stop reading this book. I like feisty but I don't like arrogant.

 Nova #2 - Jeff Loveness & Ramon Perez (writers) Ramon Perez (art) Ian Herring (colours) Comicraft's Albert Deschesne (letters). Sam meets Richard Rider and there's a whole lot of catching up to do. I loved the scene with the Champions. Taking a kid into a space bar isn't a good idea especially if there are bounty hunters there. I am enjoying this new book quite a lot so far and I think you should give it a try.
