Bi Visibility Day!

I write a lot of bi characters (mostly Jewish.) Where to find them:

Aviva Chef, very creative, queen’s wife, talks in goofy metaphors, appears in all the Mangoverse books. If you want to see her outwit giant alien bugs, she has her own short story “Aviva and the Aliens”

Prince Kaveh Hardworking, passionate, has anxiety. Stars in Climbing the Date Palm but also has a cameo in The Olive Conspiracy and a short story called “Every Us”.

Chef Yael A bi trans elder who runs her own restaurant. Kind but doesn’t take crap from anyone. Appears in The Olive Conspiracy as a widow and her own short story, “No Whining”, when her husband is still alive

Danielle Solomon Outspoken, assertive wildlife painter from Knit One Girl Two. Gorgeous and emotional. Into fandom stuff.

Cinnamon Blade Ex jewel and art thief turned good-guy superhero. Fights aliens and monsters regularly with her Lawful Good bestie Captain Werewolf while sweeping the book’s female love interest off her feet. (Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor)

Adina Greenberg and Rose Hamilton The overworked lonely grad student and the vintage Hollywood actress ghost from “Wet Nails”, in which the experiences of Bi Today and Bi of Yesteryear are compared in a high-heat paranormal setting

Lauren Stern Second oboe/English horn in the orchestra, having a little sizzle with the silver fox who plays First Oboe. from “Lioness in Blue”, which is high-heat.

Martin Meyer Hot businessman dad from “The Artist and the Devil”, a silly little piece of m/m about not making assumptions about people.

Happy bi visibility day!

Together — Episode 1 : Questions from m ss ng p eces on Vimeo.

Episode 2 - vimeo.com/402450700

In the midst of this unprecedented moment we all find ourselves in, I woke up with the desire to put my creative gifts to good use and began reaching out to a few friends and interesting people with questions about this timely and timeless moment we are in. The answers led me on a journey that became this new series: Together.

A series by Ari Kuschnir Music by Youthfaire Design by Sunlight

The Questions:

What is happening? Schuyler Brown, Futurist/Presentist

What are we doing here with our time? Jeffrey Perlman, Advisor

What does the future look like? Ashley Baccus-Clark, Artist + Speculative Neuroscientist

What story are we in? Michael Meade, Mythologist

What is the earth telling us? Soraya Hosni, Anthropologist

What do I need right now? Adam Roa, Artist

What do we do when our reassuring narratives are shattered? Jason Silva, Futurist + Storyteller

What if all of this is alive, what if we are one living organism and we are sick? Jerónimo Calderón, Explorer

What are the natural things that will help us? Julien Christian Lutz, Filmmaker

What exactly was it that we were doing before we got really focused on what most matters? Dr. Amy Albright, Resilience Teacher

Do I need just like a walk? Do I need just a little bit of silence? Adam Roa, Artist

What's mine to do and what's not mine to do? Satyen Raja, CEO Guide

Do we choose fear? Or do we choose love? Yael Greenberg, Creative Producer

How does it feel to stay in this limbo space for some time? And what comes up? Jonathan Harris, Artist

What parts of me need healing now so that I can be as whole, as resilient, as I can be? Schuyler Brown, Futurist/Presentist

80 percent of my outreach to people has been about how they're doing. Kwame Taylor-Hayford, Creative Executive

What's the importance of community and how does it show up? Ivan Cash, Artist

How do we keep up connection during this time? Because we're not actually physically interacting with people and now we're having to do that online. And I think it's harder than ever to keep that up. Jesse Dylan, Storyteller

How can we tend to one another beautifully at this time? We have generations of surviving ancestors and those who've gone through crises in earthquakes and floods and epidemics before; we have it in our DNA to survive. And how can we be of service, a service of love and compassion to all that we care about? In the end, this is what matters. Jack Kornfield, Teacher + Author

Is the coronavirus in some way the best thing that could have happened to humanity right now? Daniel Pinchbeck, Author

Will we cooperate in order to beat this thing? And can we then use that cooperation to conquer other problems? Max Joseph, Filmmaker

Is this one of those things that makes us all wiser and higher minded? You know, we've put aside our differences. We put aside foolish tribalism. Or is it that we've kind of descended into even even a more survival mode. Tim Urban, Writer

From everyday people to designers, creators, storytellers - what does it look like from here? Ashley Baccus-Clark, Artist + Speculative Neuroscientist

Are we operating according to the right value system? Yancey Strickler, Author + Entrepreneur

How do we really design for the undeniably interconnected world that we are instead of using kind of a trauma response of trying to figure out how to design for more isolation? Kamal Sinclair, Executive Director + Curator

What is likely to return and what is likely to change? Jim Rutt, Writer + Entrepreneur

Who is tracking the data? We could genuinely see the difference this makes to climate projections. Gabriella Kay, Agency Founder

How, instead of just exploiting further earth, that will just trigger more and more crises like that, we can actually become a regenerative civilization. Monika Bielskyte, Creative Futurist

What if we enter a new normal where we take care of all the people who have fallen through the cracks and re-devote our energies to: how do I offer my gifts in service of all of my brothers and sisters here on earth? Charles Eisenstein, Speaker + Author

KAREN O & DANGER MOUSE PRESENT AN ENCOUNTER WITH LUX PRIMA

Karen O and Danger Mouse premiered their multisensory art installation at Los Angeles’ Marciano Art Foundation last week. “An Encounter with Lux Prima,” an immersive, communal listening experience soundtracked by the pair’s forthcoming album, unites their singular creative vision with groundbreaking audiovisual technologies. “An Encounter” sees the duo collaborate with an illustrious cast of fellow artists including creative director Barnaby Clay (David Bowie—“Life On Mars” Revisited, SHOT!), Oscar-nominated sound designer Ren Klyce (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Fight Club), renowned lighting designer Tobias Rylander (Robyn, The xx, FKA twigs), visual artist Davy Evans and creative consultant Warren Fu (Daft Punk, The Weeknd, Depeche Mode) to bring Lux Prima to life. Further collaborating with projection mapping innovator Travis Threlkel—co-founder and chief creative officer of MSG’s Obscura Digital, George Lucas’ Skywalker Sound and Meyer Sound, the installation plays across every sense and is intended as the living, touring nucleus of the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album, Lux Prima.

Speaking to the intention behind the encounter, Karen O says, “Danger Mouse and I wrote this music purely out of artistic exploration and the spirit of collaboration. It’s the first music I’ve written since the rite of passage of bringing a life into the world. Having a kid was like communing with the grander scheme of nature, the cycles of life, the transformative power of the mother. These themes felt timeless, yet more topical than ever in the modern world, so cut off and abstracted from its origins. The music was calling out for an extraordinary presentation, one that brings people together in a heightened state of listening. It’s gonna be a trip!”

Karen and I had been plotting on working together for a long time,” adds Danger Mouse. “With no discussions on what the music would eventually sound like, we jumped in. We were each other’s audience alone really, but soon we started to see this world instead of just hearing it. So let’s see if others can hear and see it together too.”

“Lux Prima, the first collaboration from the iconic Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman and the legendary musician-producer, is out now. Stream and download Lux Prima, here: https://KarenODangerMouse.lnk.to/LuxP…

Introducing The Top 5 Winners of This Year’s Pastel 100 Competition

The number of entries for the 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition totaled more than 2,500. That’s a lot of paintings — and a lot of great pastel talent!

Pastel Journal magazine is pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Annual Pastel 100 Competition.

We’ll have reproductions of all the prize-winning paintings, and artist interviews and juror comments, in the April 2018 issue of Pastel Journal. Until then, congratulations to all of 2017 winners!

Introducing the Top Winners of the 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition

From still lifes to entrancing landscapes, here is a sneak peek into some of the remarkable, winning artists from the 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition.

Pastel Journal Founder’s Award in Memory of Maggie Price ($5,000) — Aurelio Rodriguez López

Painting Old Chinese Pottery by Aurelio Rodriguez Lopez, pastel

  Aurelio Rodriguez López was born in Génave, Spain. He began his art training during his teenage years by taking classes at Baeza Art School in Baeza.

Throughout his career, he has exhibited his work in all corners of the world. From all across Spain, Madrid to China, and New York to London, Rodrigues’s work has been seen and loved by viewers for decades.

Pastel Journal Award of Excellence ($2,500) — Jacob Aguiar

Marsh Complements by Jacob Aguiar, pastel

  “I can remember as a kid staying up until midnight drawing comic book characters with friends, or sitting in the car while my parents had to run errands so I could draw what I saw out the window,” says Jacob Aguiar.

In 2011, Aguiar took a leave from his medical studies to pursue art in the small Northern California town of Sebastopol. Not sure of what medium he wished to work in, he happened upon the landscape pastels of Richard McKinley during an internet search. “Needless to say, I was hooked immediately,” he notes.

He’s since graduated from school. And today, he spends three days a week as a naturopathic doctor in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and devotes his time-off to his love of art.

Ruth Richeson Pastel GOLD Award (pastels and surfaces valued over $2,000) — Nancy Nowak

Gallery Street by Nancy Nowak, pastel

  Nancy Nowak earned her B.A. at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1981, where her main interests were enameling and oil painting.

After owning calligraphy and printing businesses, she rededicated herself and her life to her art, striving to evoke an emotional response and awareness to the everyday beauty that surrounds us.

Nowak’s work is representational in style but with an impressionist flair. The artist also offers workshops and classes in pastel, focusing on landscapes.

Richeson Pastel SILVER Award (pastels and surfaces valued over $1,500) — Corey Pitkin

The Golden Apple by Corey Pitkin, pastel

  Corey Pitkin is a predominantly self-taught artist. He won multiple awards from regional and national competitions by the time he graduated high school.

After a “loss of creative drive” in his 20s, the artist renewed his love for art-making and has since gone from a relatively unknown to an award winner in local, national and international competitions.

Richeson Pastel BRONZE Award (pastels and surfaces valued at $1,000) — Colette Odya Smith  

Understory by Colette Odya Smith, pastel

  Colette Odya Smith earned her degree in fine art, humanities and education from Macalester College in St. Paul. She spent about 10 years teaching art at a Wisconsin school while raising two children and “making art around the edges.”

For the last two decades, she has focused on her painting career. “Laying pastels over a watercolor underpainting, I have developed working methods that expand the expressive range of this versatile medium, at times using ripped and layered surfaces, textured elements and gold and copper leaf,” she says.

A special note of thanks to our generous 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition sponsors: Jack Richeson & Co. for sponsorship of the Ruth Richeson Pastel GOLD Award; Richeson Pastel SILVER Award and Richeson Pastel BRONZE Award; Terry Ludwig Pastels (first place category sponsor); Great American Artworks (second place category sponsor); Holbein (third place category sponsor); PanPastels (fourth place category sponsor); and UART (fifth place category sponsor) for donating wonderful material prizes for all our category winners!

Please note: The number of honorable mentions per category of the 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition was determined by the number of entries in the category. They were adjusted to reflect similar ratios. For example, the Landscape + Interior category received the most entries. Therefore, it includes the highest number of honorable mentions. In addition, the list doesn’t total 100, because some winners placed twice in honorable mentions.

Did you miss the 19th Annual Pastel 100 Competition? Don’t worry! There is still time to enter your pastel art in this year’s All Media Competition. Don’t delay; deadline is Oct. 16, 2017. Learn more information here.

The WOW Factor | 10 Ways to Catch a Juror’s Eye

It’s no surprise that an art juror is going to begin his or her task by studying a painting for certain expected attributes: strong design, solid draftsmanship, a skilled handling of value and color. But once an entry has met criteria like these, what is it in a painting that catches and holds a juror’s attention all the way through to the winner’s circle? What is the secret to that intangible “wow factor”?

At Pastel Journal, we ask this question of all of our Pastel 100 Competition jurors, and they’ve offered some truly great advice over the years. Here are 10 tips for improving the odds that your painting will be one of the stand-outs:

10 Ways to Catch a Juror’s Eye

1. To decide which painting to submit, view your images on a computer at a rate of about one every 10 seconds. Choose the painting that catches your attention in that short time. If you consider the number of entries and time involved, 10 seconds may be all the time you have with a juror. — Doug Dawson

2. Push yourself to go beyond the expected portrayal of your subject matter. Determine a clear visual message for your subject and use that to drive the execution of the painting. — Barbara Jaenicke

  Barbara Jaenicke, Landscape + Interior Juror in the 18th Pastel 100, found Jeri Greenberg’s painting Moving On/Change is Good (pastel, 24×18), winner of the Richeson Pastel Silver Award, to be “a delightful example of masterful editing” saying, “This piece reveals no more and no less than what’s needed to feature an exquisite display of light and shadow on fabric. The value and temperature shifts (both subtle and high contrast) are perfectly handled, and the closely cropped composition gives us an intimate view of this interior, which is adeptly balanced with a well-proportioned variety of shapes. The suitcase in the corner, where the viewer is led, displays the ideal amount of edited detail for its role in the painting; it’s not the first thing we want to notice, but it’s where we want to end up. Create work that’s personal. And strive to go beyond.” —Debora L. Stewart

  3. Take risks. Create work that’s personal. And strive to go beyond. — Debora L. Stewart

4. Be sure your painting accomplishes what you set out to do. I tend to be drawn to paintings that feel complete. Whether loose or tight, impressionistic or realistic, colorful or monochromatic, paintings that say it all and nothing more are the ones that stand out. — Terri Ford

  Animal + Wildlife Juror Elizabeth Ganji spoke of Yael Maimon’s design skills in her second-place finisher “The Breakfast Club #5 (pastel, 16×21-1/2): “This artist exhibits an exceptional rhythm and energy in her mark making and playful use of color. The painting exhibits a strong design with great flow… as my eye circles around the bowl and down to the bottom cat, his placement leads me back in again. It is obvious this artist knows her subject matter well based on her skilled use of line, ability to leave in what is important and exclude what is not and the overall life this painting emanates.”

  5. Paint the essence of a subject. Paint the idea, not just what you see.  — Stephanie Birdsall

6. Consider what you want your painting to be about and how you can simplify the visual story. Limit the detail to areas where you want the viewer to focus. Take chances. Interpret your subject rather than copy it. You have a voice, so paint to tell your story. — Vianna Szabo

  Portrait + Figure Juror Vianna Szabo called Lipstick (pastel, 291/2×211/2), the winner of the Pastel Journal Award of Excellence, “a masterful study in the power of limiting detail in a painting. The artist makes the viewer focus on what is important by employing more finished areas against areas that are suggested. Letting the arm fade into the rhythmic drawing of the hand holding the mirror keeps us focused on the face and gesture of the woman. The splash of pink in the background suggests atmosphere and light without placing her anywhere in particular. The artist skillfully used suggestion to involve the viewer in the interpretation of the scene.”

  7. Follow your heart in terms of both content and artistic treatment. Be true to yourself as an artist; it’s the only way to achieve fulfillment in your work. — Brian Bailey

8. Paint a subject you love—one that speaks to you, challenges you and gives you an I-can’t-wait-to-paint-it feeling.  — Stephanie Birdsall

  Abstract + Non-Objective Juror Marcia Holmes describes Village Boys #43 (pastel, 28×20) by Isabelle V. Lim, which took second place winner in the Abstract & Non-Objective category, as a “fantastically pleasing painting with the primary use of complementary colors.” The design is “a strong point,” she says, “with the vertical format enhanced by the two-toned blue. The movement is sublime, carrying viewers throughout the painting.”

  9. Don’t try to mimic another artist; allow your own personal style to emerge.  — Barbara Jaenicke

10. Paint. Paint. Paint. Every day, if you can.  — Elizabeth Ganji
