Behold! At long last a <b><a href="http://www.tlcworkshops.com/p/home.html">TLC Workshops</a></b> wrap up.<br />
<br />
The wonderful Tara Chang invited Justin and me to teach an illustration workshop back at the end of August. We ventured forth unto the lands called Seattle and crafted many drawings (and some paintings things).<br />
<br />

<i>Last week <a href="http://corygodbey.com/" style="color: #e52828; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Cory Godbey</a>, <a href="http://iainmccaig.blogspot.com/" style="color: #e52828; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Iain Mccaig</a> and I did a workshop in Seattle for <a href="http://www.tlcworkshops.com/p/home.html" style="color: #e52828; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">TLC Workshops</a>. It was absolutely fantastic. There was action, romance, drama, pencil drawing and Iain did real-life, actual magic tricks in front of everyone. It was a great experience and if you are wondering if I would recommend that you go to one, then yes. Yes I do. </i></blockquote>
Here follows my attempt to chronicle our exploits and convince you that yes, this was actually the best.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In this dual-faculty workshop, Justin and Cory will cover their illustration processes and approaches to character-driven art. Students will work alongside the instructors to conceptualize and design their own character, craft their visual story and put it all together into a single image. The class will be heavily geared toward drawing and painting traditionally, but Justin and Cory will also demonstrate how they use digital tools to enhance their work (digital artists welcome!). <i>Limit: 23 students.</i></span></div>

Last year SFAL was, for me, the best show I had ever been apart of. In terms of quality of exhibitors, collectors, and really the whole event, from the awards show to meeting everyone. It was hands down the best show I'd ever had. Going into year two I had terribly high expectations. I'm pleased to report that the Fenners, and everyone involved with making SFAL outdid themselves again.</div>

As long as it's around, Spectrum will be my big show for the year. It's no exaggeration to say it's everything I love about conventions and none of the stuff I hate. No filler, no entertainment and media, just fantastic work and people who love it.</div>

<br />
The 54 page book, my longest and most densely packed collection of work to date, will debut at <a href="http://www.spectrumfantasticart.com/spectrumfantasticartlive/" target="_blank">Spectrum Live</a> this weekend.<br />
<br />
<i>Lyrebird</i> will be available online in <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/corygodbey" target="_blank">my shop</a></b> in early June.<br />
<br />
This represents my sixth yearly sketchbook and marks the I don't know number of personal projects I have taken on in my quest to better myself as an artist.<br />

<br />
The main work I did was updating my <b><a href="http://corygodbey.carbonmade.com/" target="_blank">Carbonmade</a></b> portfolio site. I really enjoy the direct simplicity.<br />

I also updated and tidied up my <b><a href="http://www.behance.net/corygodbey" target="_blank">Behance</a>.</b><br />
<br />
The main changes around the blog here are updates to the <b><a href="http://lightnightrains.blogspot.com/p/about.html" target="_blank">About</a></b> and <a href="http://lightnightrains.blogspot.com/p/contact.html" target="_blank"><b>Contact</b></a> pages.

Students will work alongside the instructors to conceptualize and design their own character, craft their visual story and put it all together into a single image.

<br />
I jumped at the chance and I'm very pleased to be able to talk about it with you here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-odmk96f2xzA/UNdc-_BqfaI/AAAAAAAAG3k/pZGbjSVvtkc/s1600/P1200195.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-odmk96f2xzA/UNdc-_BqfaI/AAAAAAAAG3k/pZGbjSVvtkc/s640/P1200195.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The book is, as you might expect, lovely. Sendak's take on the E. T. A. Hoffman classic is surely the best and brightest, darkest and most imaginative version of the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many others will be able to explain the story, the music, or indeed the production design of the ballet better than I can. What I hope to be able to provide you with here is a little of the history and the feeling of the book from a life long follower of Maurice Sendak's work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To set the scene, here's look at the official book description.</div>

<i>"A classic, new and complete. One of the ten best illustrated children's books of the year." </i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tale of Nutcracker, written by E.T.A. Hoffmann in 1816, has fascinated and inspired artists, composers, and audiences for almost two hundred years. It has retained its freshness because it appeals to the sense of wonder we all share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maurice Sendak designed brilliant sets and costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's Christmas production of Nutcracker and created even more magnificent pictures especially for this book. He joined with the eminent translator Ralph Manheim to produce this illustrated edition of Hoffmann's wonderful tale, destined to become a classic for all ages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The world of Nutcracker is a world of pleasures. Maurice Sendak's art illuminates the delights of Hoffmann's story in this rich and tantalizing treasure.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This book's history is two-fold; it was born of the 1983 stage production where Sendak served as the production designer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
I love hearing Maurice Sendak in his own words and the book benefits from having an Introduction by Sendak himself. Here he provides insight into the characters, the designs, and how he and Kent Stowell even came to partner on the original production. Characteristically Sendak, the first line of the Introduction is, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">"My immediate reaction to the request that I design Nutcracker was negative." </span></i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Throughout the Introduction, Sendak tells how he warmed to the project, overcoming his initial distaste for the play ("I didn't <i>want</i> to be suited to the confectionery goings-on...") and how ultimately the production culminated, for him, in a "superb moment" at the premiere.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sendak thought of this book as being comprised of "two separate entities" with the costumes and designs from the production making up the one half and the other being the new work he did specifically for the book. </div>

Here he speaks to retracing some of his steps and adding new work for the book:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><i>"In changing hats from designer to illustrator I have been faced with a curious dilemma. After all, there are whole sequences in the tale itself that never appear on the stage. Rather adjust these designs to fit the book, I decided to completely illustrate 'The Story of the Hard Nut'. Because of this decision the pictures for this book are composed of two separate entities. There are the designs and costumes from the ballet version and then the fresh pictures done specifically for the tale. In addition, there are a few to animate the original stage designs and a few more that I could not or would not resist doing."</i></span></blockquote>

What draws me, and I suspect many others, in to Sendak's worlds are his treatment of children. Speaking of the heroine Clara ("Marie" in the book)</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><i>"I endowed her with the wisdom and strength I conjure up to endow all my children and then surrounded her with a minefield of problems."</i></span></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And very like a certain Max, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><i>"The stage became her half-real, half-nightmare battleground. The drama grew naturally as we watched Clara, frightened yet exuberant, cross that battleground."</i></span></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sprawling spreads found in The Capital are some of my personal favorite examples of Sendak's haunting, lyrical work which meshes so well, in my estimation, with the poetry of the story.</div>

By the end of this year I'll have done eight.<br />
<br />
Between speaking engagements, film festivals, and conventions, I've burned through many more business cards and postcards that I have in years past.<br />
<br />
So! I decided to put together some new ones for late 2012<b> / </b>early 2013.<br />
<br />
Here's a peek at the new work.<br />

<br />
Because of you guys my second<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/corygodbey?section_id=7615004"> <b>fire sale</b></a><b> </b>was a raging success! Thank you so much. Most all of the proceeds go right back into making more work: reprinting sketchbooks, convention expenses, and all. I can't thank you enough for supporting my work.<br />
<br />
More than half of the drawing have sold, saved from a fiery fate, but there are still some cool things left.<br />
<br />
Some of my favorite work was snapped up right away but I managed to get a couple screen shots to commemorate them.<br />

And now comes the scene which I have imagined time and again since I read the first read <i>The Hobbit</i> so many years ago. Smaug. Smaug the Golden. Smaug the Magnificent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the back cover of the book I got the chance to illustrate Bilbo's conversation with this last dragon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My goal was to follow Tolkien's original painting as a guide (as far as overall dragon design and color work).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
From there I arranged my figures and figured, since there wouldn't be too much room on the back cover, that I would vignette the image somewhat, keep the edges in shadow to help out the designer.</div>
