I encountered Rahele’s work through this year’s Tomie de Paola SCBW illustrator competition where the prompt was: to illustrate a moment from a passage from Philip Pullman’s version of “Little Red Riding Hood” from FAIRY TALES FROM THE BROTHERS GRIMM (Viking, … Continue reading

Development on Disney’s The Little Mermaid stretches back to 1941 soon after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released. Livejournal user Snufkin has posted several pieces of early production artwork by Kay Nielsen.
For more of Nielsen’s work, check out the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive.

Beardsley, Dulac and their Contemporaries 1890-1930 A telegraph.co.uk Slide Show
(Watercolor by Edmund Dulac, from Cinderella in The Sleeping Beauty and other Tales, 1910)
In Nov. of 2007, the Dulwich Picture Gallery exhibited a survey of the Golden Age of Book Illustration. THE AGE OF ENCHANTMENT is also a gorgeous book by the curator of this exhibition, Rodney Engen. Beginning with work of Aubrey Beardsley, it includes 165 color illustrations by Beardsley, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen, and the Detmold Twins, to name just a few. Examining a time when the "beautiful decadence" of Beardsley "softened to delight rather than to shock," Mr. Engen supplies the details. He describes a time when trade with Japan and China influenced Western artists, and he provides a context for understanding a cultural shift of spirit and style.
This is the kind of luxurious book that should be read slowly. The historical perspective can be sampled a little at a time. (The biographical information is fascinating and often sad.) And the pictures, without any words at all, can pull you into their fantastic stories.

Milton Glaser put it best...he explained that an idea should start blurry (sketch) and slowly come into focus (final). Once we have the sketch complete, we begin our search for images and textures that we might apply to Jeff and his surroundings. Photos, engravings, scanned corn stalks are all fair game at this point. As we begin to gather "Stuff", we start loosely placing things into the illo. Lets throw some brains on the plants...how about some type? What's his cape texture? Those brains need something else....is his skin too light? I like the sketchiness of his face...maybe it should be a bit more polished?
PLEASE EXCUSE OUR MESS, WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Better late than never....We've been working on last week's challenge "Jeff" and we decided to record our process visually and verbally on our blog.
The first step...the concept. Lets see....Brain child? Interesting....lets go with that. We'll start with Jeff. Add some protective phalange coverings (aka sister's designer yellow mittens), a king's crown, some goofy teeth, a hero's cape (aka an old moth eaten table cloth found in one of grandma's antique rotting dressers), oh yes, and some weird brain foliage sprouting from Jeff's fertile noggin.

Without even realizing it, I guess THIS fits into the category of "Draw Me"
"Art is a lie that helps us to realize the truth." - Pablo Picasso
"Art is the most beautiful of all lies." - Claude Debussy
"An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks would be a good idea to give them." -Andy Warhol
"Believe it or not, I can actually draw." - Jean Michel Basquiat
"It's all bullshit, kid." - Marlon Brando, to a 17-year old Laurence Fishburne, on the set of "Apocalypse Now"

This is my intial interpretation of Jeff for the SFG Challenge - Draw me. I used Sharpie markers. No editing or erasing.
This is the digital version. I also added some textures to the illustration.

SFG: Draw ME!
This week's theme: Draw ME!A little late this week as I've been trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on this one or not. I finally decided, it'd be interesting. Seen this done on some other sites as I'm sure have you. Draw me from the photos above, you have your choice of young Jeff or old Jeff. :) ...be nice folks. This should be enlightening.
For you newcomers, the SFG Challenge runs Thursday to Thursday, and was created to offer every member an opportunity to stretch their creative muscles and post their interpretations on a specific theme. It's a lot of fun!
Be sure to label your illustrations with the appropriate labels as well. I prefer you label your entries with your name or screenname, and the challenge label, SFG: Draw ME!
Remember, this is a completely voluntary challenge designed solely to stimulate creativity and promote participation. Please don't hesitate to post your other work as normal.
A few side notes...
I'm looking for someone to help me with keeping up with posting updates for SFG and DI to some of the illustration and design news sites that are out there. Contact me if you're interested in helping out. A well appreciated but strictly voluntary position believe me.
I'd also love to see you SFG'ers help to advertise the site yourselves, posting links on your own websites, and talking it up where and when you can all over the net. Help me to build this brand!
The next challenge begins Thursday, June 28th, 2007.
Challenge yourselves SFG'ers and have a great week!
Wow this is such a beautiful series. I would have loved to have seen the Little Mermaid done like this. Kay Nielson is one of the greats such a shame to have not used her work. Thanks so much for blogging them. :)
The film did draw upon Kay’s inspiration for the film, and he is listed in the film credits (posthumously, of course) for visual development. The shot of the ship riding the crest of the hugs wave during a lightning flash is taken directly from one of his illustrations. And yes, Kay (pronounced ‘Kie’ - rhymes with ‘die’) is a him, not a her. I’m sure it’s a common misperception.
His work. Kay was a man. ;-)
