Artist: Henri Rousseau, French
b. 1844 Laval, Mayenne; d. 1910 Paris, France
Medium: Oil on canvas
Henri “Le Douanier” Rousseau (so nicknamed because he originally made his living as a customs official) was a self-taught artist whose voracious borrowings from popular culture and naïve, simple style were key influences on the development of Cubism. This fantastical image of an abandoned castle silhouetted against the night sky, typical of his work, is characterized by the simplified, hard-edged modeling of forms that Picasso and Braque would adopt in their own early Cubist paintings.
The castle depicted here is based on an actual location – the château of Falaise, in Normandy. Rousseau did not paint it from life; as was his usual practice, he probably worked from a photograph or a guidebook illustration. The lack of direct observation allowed him to introduce tantalizing ambiguities into the composition. The pale diagonal at lower center could be either a path, the top of a wall or moonlight shining on a hillside. The cottages in the foreground appear disproportionately large in comparison to the castle above, and a twinkling constellation appears to shine too brightly in a blue sky cushioned by clouds. In doing so, he transformed a tourist cliché into a mysterious, poetic and faintly menacing image.

This was the type of illustration that was popular when Paul Rand and other contemporary designers were first starting out in graphic design.
Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, I completed this piece in 2019 to note the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Medium: LEGO on a wooden backer.
this has become an obsession of hers. always raiding the art cabinet and leaving crayons out for the dogs to snack on. she will sit and draw curly q's for hours. but now we move onto a new medium.

Many of you may or may not know about recasts and for the longest time I remained neutral to the debate. Everyone has their reasons for choosing for or against and since it never really affected any of my friends or family I would want to stay out of the whole debacle.
Sadly it's come to a point in time where people I do know, friends I have made, other BJD artists I know personally have had their work taken, copied and are now being replicated illegally. These are real people, not faceless companies that live in far away places and they make their lives off their work. They are not mass produced and their production is not all the time so YES every sale, every doll, every little thing counts and if they lose out on sales thanks to recasters that's just one step closer to being out of a job and a way of life.
If you don't care, if you do own recasts, imagine your job and your hard work being taken right out from under your feet. All the time, effort, blood sweat and tears of everything you've done for a living taken from you and being laughed up by someone else who's making a quick dime out of everything you struggled to make for your own life.
It's not fair now is it? Well life's not fair.
It is with this news that I cannot work on recast dolls, I can't support something that will harm my friends and their way of life. It's like me cheering for people who are stealing from them and encouraging people to make them steal more. I just can't do it and I won't do it.
I love the work that my friends create and I want to encourage them to keep creating because it's what inspires me in this hobby. Also yes, in this photo each doll you see I have met EVERY artist who has made the doll. Every single one of them deserves support and encouragement to keep creating.
I am no rich kid, I am not blessed and I am not handed these dolls. For at least two of those dolls I have saved over a YEAR of earnings from all my hard work by commissions and selling dolls of my own. I went to every convention that the artist sold the dolls at, I stood in que's and hoped to hell I would be lucky enough to own one of these dolls. For each doll there is a story and for each one I am thankful I own them because they are what make me smile. All my dolls are my treasures and I love them all very much. For each one I saved and earned them, through all my struggle and effort I am rewarded. It can be the same for you too, if you put in the effort.
Lastly.
I will not pursue people who still choose recast, it is your own choice not mine. However please do not come to me with recast dolls to work on, I will turn you away.
If you believe artist dolls are beyond your reach then try harder, for all but one I got my dolls through public sales where everyone had a chance to buy these dolls. Please keep artist's creativity and drive alive, please support them because I know now more than ever they need it. Thankyou.

As you can see the artist has moved items in the scene to suit her view of what the composition should be.
Unlike photographers we have to do this in post-processing.

I just saw this Nat Geo cover group and had to add my little project. I did this as my first project in photoshop and as for a joke/profile pic on a lot of my other websites. What a great group though. This is my girlfriend's (Nadia) photo that she took of me in Morocco near the border of Algeria. It was a beautiful shot that got my attention for my experiment. It isnt an exact imitation as most of you can see but I wasn't ready to go all out on an exact copy so it's just fun.
