Duck Comic Reading Club Week 9: Paperinik New Adventures: Spores

Well, back to PK. Is good to be in a Ducks comic book where I won't see any humaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

WHAT THE HELL!?

When Carl Barks did humans, at least they look like humans. This thing did the miracle, being the ugliest character in a comic that has Angus Fangus.

No more humans in Ducks comics.

Anyway, this ugly bastard has an important cargo, the Spore.

But first, we cut to Xadhoom, who's having hallucinations about her fallen compatriots.

I mean, she saw the Evronians destroy her planet (and she invited them), and later, she found out that those evil aliens were using her companions as mindless slaves.

This is so sad, man.

But, the problem is, for me at least, look at the art…

Is gorgeous, is amazing. A moment that should be sad, lost its impact, because I was focus on the beautiful art in front of me. Again, that's my appreciation. I think, maybe the color palette could have stay in the blues and reds for this pages.

Well, the ugly wants to show his spore to the world through Angus, but Uno took care of the situation.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit repetitive, but the art and colors of PK have me cautivated. I love the style of this comic so much.

Thanks to Uno, we learn that the spore is a seed. A seed for Evronians warriors. It doesn't look good.

Our favorite duo discovered that the spores are in the desert, so, is time to, once again, infiltrate in a government facility.

And we have this transition that is a jewel. From the winds of the desert, to the winds of an alien planet far, far away.

Beautiful, I will never stop saying this.

Xadhoom only said one sentence, while we follow her on her solitary journey. I think that elevates her, she's in a bad state of mind, and we feel her sadness and anger.

Back to PK, he was found by the army. Who, for some reason, dressed its soldiers as the kidnappers from last week's Portrait of the Young Hero.

Back to Xadhoom , she found her old lab. The computers still work, so Xadhoom check an entry about the Evronians invasion and…

This is the most powerful panel yet. All the raw emotion you can feel coming from Xadhoom.

Back to PK again. Some general has given PK permission to see the facility and the spores. The colonel in charge does not approve PK's presences.

The obvious hate the colonel feels for our hero is palpable.

He even stops PK from helping the cientifics after a chemical attack from the spores.

The plot gets even more complicated when Uno discovered that the military is doing business with the Evronians. The same tactic they did with Xadhoom's planet.

The colonel doesn't want to hear PK's warnings. PK can't give much more detail about the Evronians without compromise Xadhoom existence.

PK is left behind where he meets a couple of soldiers that pilot some cool looking robots.

Meanwhile, Uno is having trouble passing by the system security, but someone turned off the firewall. That action is the chance Uno was looking for. We found out that the general is helping Uno. And we all need to ask, why?

With Uno online, he and PK hijack all the robots and the wrecking begins.

PK, the only one who knows what he's doing, is destroying the spores. If only one is released, the whole planet would be on jeopardy.

Once Uno release the robot from his control, all the others soldiers join our hero and keep the destruction going on.

Is not a surprise that the colonel is furious, he's so ready to lock PK up. But a mysterious message give our hero the chance to see the next dawn.

And of course, it was the general who send the message.

Who's he talking to? What's the phase 2?

We might be in an Invasion of the Body Snatchers situation.

To wrap things up, Xadhoom is on Earth and the team up with PK is back in business.

And with the last panel, we see that the ugly has an infestation of those spores.

Amazing, I loved this one. A visual jewel, with an excellent contrast between PK path of destruction and Xadhoom loneliness.

I'm excited thinking about the imminent invasion.

i was reading yesterday the book TEACHER YES; AUNT, NO:LETTERS TO WHOEVER DARES TEACHINSTITUTRICE - Paulo freire and he said:

" Thinking about the intimate relationship between thinking, reading and writing and the need that we have to live this relationship intensely, I would suggest to anyone who wants to rigorously try it, at least three times a week, to give yourself the task of write something. (...) Nobody writes if they don't write, just as nobody swims if they don't swim. "

With that in mind im writting today... in english. See, I love writting about the world and about certain themes like why should the goverment spend money on education or the way of achieving a democratic way of living (I know this stuff in "boring" okay?) and I thought to myself: i need to get better at writting essays in english... . So here I am.

MASP and the art of being bold

I went to MASP ( Museum of Art of São Paulo) today and it went great, I absolutely loved the Gran Fury exhibition, I saw an exhibition of Masi Mamani / Bartolina Xixa and I realised that to make ART you have to be bold. By seeing this two films two parts of me entered in conflict: the one that is a pure artist and the one that is afraid of what others will say, think, react and do. How many times I saw a artist performing and being fragile in their own way and saw friends of mine, colleagues or strangers laughing, making fun of or/and mistreating them for being "strange"?

By seing this film I've realised that I have to "put my 'cara-tapa' " or "eat my hat " to make art, to make people feel. It is not because it's "strange" (in many quotes) that it is bad, being strange is the way humans are and that is beautiful and what make us humans.

The art of being bold/2

The museum have a "fix" art gallery that is separated from the exhibits, in this area is located a very large group of artists from around the world and it also the place that contains the famous ones like Van gogh, Anita Malfati, Monet and etc.

My main goal when I got there was see the parts that I haven't saw with time in mid 2021/2022. But what happened is that when I got into the first part my goal had changed, this was now seing all of the arts again with other perspective.

I was sedated with all of that art, it was like a medicine I should had taken it before, but then I got reflective (I always am lmao, don't mind me) I saw majority of people skipping the non-realistic or not half-realistic (i think i can call it that) arts

Note: It is important to highlight that people have different forms of appreciating art and im not criticizing the way people do this or the likings of people before saying what i need to say.

also the quantity of people seeing those types of art were abruptly smaller than the ones seeing paintings that were inspired by realism or were made in that time.

I started to notice that the amount of time I was spending in this types of art were small when you compare with the ones that follows another style.

Maybe I must be getting a little boring, i tought to my self, maybe I am thinking a little retrograde but if you want realism without any type of cientific research: take a picture! or smth idk

Ways of expressing art is different to everybody, it was a little hypocrite to think that way but what my revolt was really trying to say is that the society made us glorify only realistic arts in a way that everything that got out of this little metarphorical box was wrong and ugly. Out of the artist "bubble" the majority of artists that are seen like "the next big artist" or like "the most beautiful art of modern history" are realism artist (for non artists of course, one of the biggest artists in the world is a abstract artist). That is the way we're raised and to desconstruct that concept that we were build in is harsh.

For me as an artist i think it is way more difficult to make a piece that contains the feeling you're trying to pass than to make a realist painting, realism is something the art school teaches you, how to transfer your feelings to whoever you see isn't, it is life that does.

A verdadeira arte é só um reflexo dos sentimentos de quem a contempla. (...) Você sente que você está dentro do vazio, você é vazia, tudo aos seus arredores é vazio. (...) Por um momento é como se você pudesse se banhar na sua própria alma, nos seus próprios sentimentos.

True art is just a reflection of the feelings of those who contemplate it. (...) You feel that you are inside the void, you are empty, everything around you is empty. (...) For a moment it's as if you could bathe in your own soul, in your own feelings.

(i can't believe that i just quoted Cellbit)

Paintings that i liked - a little review with all that said

dora longo bahia campo e contracampo

dora long bahia field and counter field

this one made me shout out loud "ca.ra.lho", okay i didn't shout it... but metarphorically i did. This one is the type of art you have to see in real life to feel it.

Guerilla Grils i already knew it and love it but seeing it again made me think about that the "the advantages of being a woman in art" is about cience too

If you reading this right now don't speak portuguese i strongly recomend you to look up for Guerilla Girls

i got tired of writing so i will just write and SOMETIME i edit this

edit 15 june 2024 :

e.fshcute cachoeira from Paulo afonso

this is a painting that while i was passing by a couple where talking about how this painting looks too realistic and it is beautiful , differently from the others around there... that is the kind of thought that i was trying to explain, people tend to think that this kind of realistic style worth more attention than the other kind of styles. I get it that to learn this kind of technic u have to study a lot but no one mention it that to make a cartoon or abstract art you have to study a lot too.

This was a class assignment, we had to pick an animal of your choice (i did a kingfisher) and do a watercolour illustration as detailed as we could, like a cientific illustration.

Esta fue un trabajo de clase, tuvimos que escoger el animal que quisiéramos (yo hice un martín pescador) y hacer una ilustración acuarela tan detallada como pudimos, como si se tratara de una ilustración científica.

Hello! I'm making a cientific article in spanish about the term "geisha" and I'm trying to find more information about the correct and incorrect definition that has been made up in the modern day. And from what i've read in your blog, you could help me, may you please (pretty please) tell me your definition of geisha, and how and why do you think the term has been degenerated? (sorry for any mistakes, i'm not native in english)

Hi! I think you meant “originated” rather than “degenerated” as it hasn’t been broken down into a negative term. Geisha itself is a very broad term. Gei (芸) means “Art” and Sha (者) means “Person” and back when the term was conceived it could refer to any entertainer in the red light districts. The first geisha were men, and were usually the people who lived in and around the districts and liked to have fun. In time, when the geisha profession meant specifically females who entertained at ochaya the men earned the title of Taikomochi (幇間), which literally means “Helps With Space” but has come to mean “Male Jester” or “Fool” since Taikomochi tend to entertain with witty jokes rather than dance. Nowadays Taikomochi still exist, albeit in small numbers. The women, in an effort to make more money, learned to dance, sing, or play instruments like the Taikomochi and this is what made them more popular than their male counterparts. From there Geisha meant to mean a female entertainer rather than a male.Over time some women in the geisha profession decided to change their title from Geisha to Geiko/Geigi (芸妓), which changes the Sha (者) kanji to Ko/Gi (妓), with the latter meaning “Woman/Female.” This change tends to be regional as it’s more common to see Geiko/Geigi used in the southern parts of the country. In the northern areas where Geisha is used the most common term for their apprentices is Hangyōku (半玉), which means “Half Jewel” as it once referred to the rate at which apprentices were paid (half of what a full Geisha earned). The Geiko/Geigi in the south in turned called their apprentices Maiko (舞妓), which means “Dancing Woman/Female.” Some people will translate Geiko and Maiko wrong as “Arts Woman” (芸子) or “Dancing Child” (舞子) since the “子” kanji is commonly used in female names and “妓” tends to be a rarely used kanji.

Printmaking Induction

Fine art printmaking is based on the concept of creating a master plate, known as the matrix. This is used to transfer the image onto paper. The most common plates are made out of metal like zinc or copper used in etching or engraving, stones in lithography, wood for woodcuts and engraving and silk screen for screen printing. The technology of printing played a key role in the development of the Renaissance and the scientific revolution. There are four main categories of printmaking: relief, intaglio, lithography, and screen printing.  We were presented different machines for printmaking like the pad printing which transforms a 2D object in a 3D one, lithography (stone printing), laser printing, printing press, woodblock printing, mono printing and a lot more which I cannot remember. We mainly used the printing press to do our own work.

Bioshock. When i first saw the intro trailer for this videogame i knew i had to play it. And so i bought it, it was dark, a little violent, and misterius. This viodegame trapped me and make me think about some utopy conflicts. As the phrase on the intro says "We all make choices, but in the end, our choices make us". All the story develops on a underwather city that was supposed to be the perfect Utopy for people who wanted greatness and liberty to make their cientific dreams reality. I recomend you to play it and if you are and idealist to think about how a utopy would have to be to really work out. Really enjoyable game. #watercolor #videogame #art #bioshock #draw #color #underwater #littlesister #bigdaddy #colored #rapture
