Here they are, with some details not available anywhere else besides my own blog. I've been working on these for the past few months for the current show at <a href="http://nineteeneightyeight.com/" target="_blank">Gallery1988</a> with the great <a href="http://www.bennettslater.com/" target="_blank">Bennett Slater</a> (work and prints available to buy <a href="http://nineteeneightyeight.com/collections/andrew-degraff-bennett-slater" target="_blank">here</a>). It's great to see the buzz on these - people seem to really love them - which is awesome. . . In case you were wondering, they were A LOT of work! At 130-200 hrs per painting all done by hand, they are the most complicated things I've done (yet), and I'm not one to shy away from complication! So enjoy, nit pick, relive the Spielbergian/Lucasian genius in all it's glory. </div>

Crazy4Cult 2012!! In NY!! So easy to get to from Philly! And yet on that day, I am up in Vermont! However, the day had many other wonderful things happening not in the general perusal of this little blog. Let's just say it involved a change of the face book status:). So I've been pretty disENGAGED with my blog over the summer, so much so that this piece for one of the biggest shows of my year, has opened without promotion from me, and the piece has already sold! I finished this about two months ago, and then had in the studio itching for release only to be late to the party. Yarg!! Anyhow, the show has done really well, and great to see the NY press coverage. So here it is, "The Path of Shaun", 9" x 12", ink and gouache on paper.</div>

Like the maps I've been doing of late, I think the dogged pursuit of simply following the character tells a lot about the movie. In this case, a pretty intense back and forth between a few places, the Winchester, Shaun's house, Liz's house, and all of the zig-zaggier path come when the zombies come and Shaun gets out of his rut. It's a sort of dry approach - but I think of them as doing two things: they allow the viewer to follow the experience of the entire movie in a really condensed frame, with some fun little details, and humor, and they also have a bit of an info-graphic/anthropological study feel. I do try to shape them for clarity, but when you start connecting the dots, these patterns start emerging from the plot in a very simple stripped down way. There not all that much control in these very controlled piece and that's really fun. I'm working on more movie maps for a two man show in January at <a href="http://nineteeneightyeight.com/">G1988</a>'s Venice location - and those are getting really crazy!:)</div>

So - I thought I'd throw together a sort of scenic chart of all the actual locations in the movie - the only fictional one being the Northwest Airlines terminal, which no longer exists and I couldn't find reference for (but for "North by Northwest", I figured I'd take a little liberty). Also not included are the 1212 Michgan Ave Auction house and the hospital in Rapid City, as they were shot on soundstage in Hollywood. Even with that, it was a bit of a beast. Lots of research, lots of windows . . . The cars are also accurate from the initial 57 Skoda 440 cab to the '51 White Freightliner the plane crashes into, to the '52 Ford Customline Cary Grant rescues the girl in. I took color from the footage to get some of that "technicolor" feel, and blatantly ripped off Saul Bass' opening credit arrows to show the action.</span></div></div><div style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

VIVA FREDDIE!! And thanks, Josh! But enough about me - let's talk about Josh. Josh is an industrial designer and teaches at Pratt in the ID studios next door to the Communication Design Dept and sometimes stops by my class on Mondays. We share bus rides back and forth from Philly to Pratt in Brooklyn - and like schoolgirls on a sleepover, we say we should sleep and then talk the whole time. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Josh has a pretty amazing CV based mostly on his 3D work in <a href="http://rumbletoid.com/index.php?/characterdesign/longoland/" target="_blank">Longoland</a>, but for the past few years he's been doing what most of us illustrators talk about, but never REALLY do - and that's branch out. He's been developing his 2D work and is doing some amazing stuff. Not to say that Josh wasn't already great at drawing - he was - but moving from drawing as a preliminary for 3D work, and doing drawing and painting as a finish in and of itself is a really interesting difference. It's been fascinating to watch. We have a lot of similar influences and his stuff has inspired a lot of the more recent painting I've been doing and vice-versa, which is a blast. The way he attacks pieces and compositions reminds that it's supposed to be fun - that the if a piece doesn't have intuition, that it's probably lacking in inspiration, too. If you haven't already, check out <a href="http://rumbletoid.com/index.php?/new-work/2012/" target="_blank">rumbletoid</a> - and check out his sketchbooks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRClCNBpuhOv-SHuheQ15plCVjzRj8F7zUGmXMMFbhEka_6Yg3J0zqpwbynvJ9r77bJ0xK72dQoShMqDJWw5hRxAwxJP12sxcDxT05rs28wp6gPLDProGv6En9CeWooWhp9qyvmWeBhzY/s1600/longo1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRClCNBpuhOv-SHuheQ15plCVjzRj8F7zUGmXMMFbhEka_6Yg3J0zqpwbynvJ9r77bJ0xK72dQoShMqDJWw5hRxAwxJP12sxcDxT05rs28wp6gPLDProGv6En9CeWooWhp9qyvmWeBhzY/s400/longo1.png" style="cursor: move;" width="400" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

The space is . . . pretty amazing. Coi ponds? Yup. 40 ft tall bamboo indoors? Yup? Handy parking for WWII era aircraft carriers? You better believe it. You can also get a good cup of coffee and tasty lunch if you want to make a day of it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

So - some of you may recognize a few of the pieces from the "History of the World" show that was up earlier this year created with Owen Sherwood. Initially, this show was going to be my half of that show, but - I like doing work - and wanted to repurpose some of the more autobiographical pieces from "History" into a different slant. So with a few new pieces and tweaks on old ideas, here's the "One Hour of TV a Week" show.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

As a kid who grew up with NPR, and only one hour of TV a week my only contact with video games was at friends' houses. It was much treasured. So here's my two contributions to the genre from the iam8bit show and the video game show at Gallery1988 Venice opening Friday the 16.

I really wanted o re-explore the sort of dry brush I did with the "Heavyweights" (below) in a little bit more of a serene setting with a little softer palette. Why are they doing laundry? Well, I do love nude turtles, but I really just thought they would have interesting laundry - those colored strips, and it's such a drudge job for teenagers, and I figured not a lot of people would do "slice of life" type images. Just another day in the sewers . . . </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3aYVJFwFYkcLMR1tiLi4SeBGu2ybFbxzdllQoCejgqqtLU5hrOdmzXdiBNvUXoEnii2TvFp7Qh1LyPncZuOzWGVAm1aVm-eZt21O09JN3o0V2Yhs0EPj9IGDJvJdwgpU16_QO7m0P_g/s1600/heavyweights1sm3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3aYVJFwFYkcLMR1tiLi4SeBGu2ybFbxzdllQoCejgqqtLU5hrOdmzXdiBNvUXoEnii2TvFp7Qh1LyPncZuOzWGVAm1aVm-eZt21O09JN3o0V2Yhs0EPj9IGDJvJdwgpU16_QO7m0P_g/s320/heavyweights1sm3.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>Andrew DeGraffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11869227590607959843noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102349474602588855.post-9072565846959600262011-05-31T08:15:00.002-04:002011-05-31T08:20:09.468-04:00Big Sandy & His Fly Rite Boys<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Hope everyone had a nice long weekend!

</tbody></table>Thought I'd post another piece from the "History of the World" I just got around to tiling together from the scans. Thank god Pratt has those big scanners and I had <a href="http://mattmaherillustration.com/index.php?/illustrations/deep-sea-diver/">Matt Maher</a> helping me out. On a side note of self horn-tooting, Owen and I got nice <a href="http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Creative-competition-1384943.php">write up in the Albany Times Union</a> about the show!<br />
<br />
Plus on a side note, here's a preview of part of my submission for the iam8bit Show out in LA. I chose Excitebike - which for some reason was the most nerve wracking game I've ever played. I just remember trying to push down on the gas so had my thumbs would be sweating and cramping. What's more fun than that I ask you?! <br />
