I was trying this morning to distill what makes paleolithic European cave art...well cave art! And then apply it to an animal not seen in Europe. The technique was more important here than the results; I think the big bodies & smaller heads yet otherwise accurate features are a result of the artists having a sort of tunnel vision while working. As one drifts part to part lifting up the implement as little as possible the parts appear in proportion to their immediate neighbor. They are also distilled to their most important details & for the body that's a wide rectangular space. If you picture yourself working on a heavily textured wall as tall or taller than you are with the equivalent of a tea light (oil lamps) or a flickering torch you can imagine how easy it would be to get that kind of focused tunnel vision. While we see tunnel vision as a bad thing while learning art today in terms of cave art I just sort of see it as a natural consequence. You're going to focus really hard on what needs it; there are no erasers. Additional paint can't be bought at the store. Stone walls have limited access. You're going to make the best of every resource while you're there. Besides who said the animal had to be proportional anyway? You know exactly what you're looking at! Artist commentary: it was challenging deciding what was most important but also representing that important thing as accurately as possible. I feel like that's a common thread in all cave art from peoples across the world: draw what's most important. The rest will work out.

Der Bison in der Höhle
von Florian Asche Eigentlich sollte diese Reihe mit Artemis beginnen, mit der Göttin der Jagd, der Natur und der wilden Tiere (hier ist dieses Essay). Mit so einer Figur ist man ja automatisch im sicheren Hafen, besonders, wenn eine Frau an der Spitze der Redaktion steht. Da kann der Schreiberling ein paar geschickte Parallelelen einflechten – zum guten Aussehen oder zur Treffsicherheit – und…

Ancient Cave Art | Chauvet, France
The cave of Chauvet in the Ardéche Valley of France contains the earliest known art made by humans—depictions of bears, panthers, horses, and more, made 30,000 years ago. Examining this art closely gives us much information about the humans who created it—what their lives, beliefs, and environment must have been like. Because these cave paintings represent some of the earliest human artistic…

Before Comics: We've Been Telling Stories with Pictures for a Long Time
In terms of human culture, comics as an art form is relatively new. “The Yellow Kid” started in 1895 and Rodolphe Töpffer first published his work in 1833. So, about 200 years. Yet if we broaden our scope and use the term sequential art, then the time frame opens up dramatically. We leave print behind and start to look at sculpture, weaving, and painting. And this is what I want to do with…

Chauvet-style cave art lions. I completely forgot I made this piece until I unearthed it digging for something else entirely. I actually deeply enjoy doing this kind of work but don't make much of it as A) it's a huge pain to store and B) it's heavy & challenging to ship. It'd be a dream to get to do these life-size; this one is roughly 11x14 I think. Will have to measure it. It's made by layering several kinds of materials together to make faux stone and then throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it. Watered down acrylics, airbrush, carbon pencil, graphite powder, gouache, conte...

LA GROTTA DI CHAUVET: La grotta di Chauvet si trova nel sud-ovest della Francia ed è la grotta preistorica più antica al mondo, infatti risale circa a 36 mila anni fa (32 / 36 mila). Detiene inoltre il record per superficie dipinta più estesa, si parla di 8500 metri quadrati pitturati con di figure di animali. Sono raffigurati per lo più predatori, ad esempio leoni e rinoceronti, tuttavia sono presenti anche animali come cervi e cavalli. Le scene raffigurate sono di caccia e inseguimenti, ed è ben rappresentata l'idea di movimento. Si pensa che, come la maggior parte delle opere del paleolitico avesse una funzione propiziatoria, non è però in alcun modo dimostrato.

La semaine dernière, j'ai retrouvé mes amis Julien et Katie à Remoulins dans le Gard (Languedoc). On est allés à Vallon-Pont-d'Arc (Ardèche) visite la réplique de la fameuse Grotte Chauvet dont les peinture rupestres datent de l'aurignacien.
Après la grotte, une galerie où sont restitués les êtres vivants dans les steppes de la région, pendant l'Aurignacien : alternés, voici Homo sapiens, Megaloceros giganteus (le Mégacéros) et Ursus spelaeus (l'Ours des Cavernes)
