TV Storyboard Layout Pad

This is a pad that I had in 1987. It just turned up while doing a big study clean. I scanned it and parked it here. That was a pretty busy little mind at work there. Enjoy.

For instance, these two sketches…



 

eventually became this piece:





Slumped, fused polished antique yellow glass with black copper oxide veils between the layers

JON PYLYPCHUK

Hey bruce you like this guy

http://artsy.net/artwork/jon-pylypchuk-for-all-the-love-in-the-world

So then we will burn you when you are dead

2006
Wood, wood glue, fake fur, hot glue, watercolor, polyurethane, cotton

244 x 203 x 203 cm

Jon Pylypchuk makes his sculptures from the most impoverished materials: scraps of wood, remnant fabric, felt, glitter, and glue. Rendered with wonky ‘best attempt’ aesthetics, Pylypchuk mines all the sentimental authenticity of the unloved yet hopeful media of craft camps and community workshops. So Then We Will Burn You… pictures wee critters gathering around their stricken colleague. Reducing the moral sophistication of the adult world to artless simplicity, Pylypchuk plays out horror and grief with child-like naiveté and chilling matter-of-fact-ness, authoring a folktale of tactlessness, discomfort, and inadequacy.
