Scut Monkey Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I was just looking for this pic today thanks Scut! I was looking for this pic thanks! You're welcome. For those who didn't go to the exhibition/or see pics of it .. or for those who did go but want to reminisce, here's the thread with all the pics http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6717 I'll say thanks again for taking those photos, it was a great way for those that couldn't be there to still 'see' the show. I really liked how they showed the genesis of the artwork, it's interesting to see how concepts began and how much work was put into achieving the final product. The quality of the artwork is high, even the pieces that didn't make the 'cut' into the CD, DVD, posters or videos are wonderful. It's like a little world, all the extra elements that didn't make the finished artwork but provided a background for everything else that they did.

LadyGodiva Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I must say that Yasmine is one of the nicest people I have met. I had a chance to talk to her for a minute, but it happened to be right as everybody was busy packing things up so I didn't want to take up too much time. (I was completely blown away by everything at that point, and was still nervous about what to say! Hopefully i'll get another chance to talk with her.) I really regret not saying all of the things i wanted to say. If I could go back, I would thank her, and tell her how her art has helped me find mine. I do quite a bit of art; sketches, painting, pastels photography, (coloring books....hehe) anything I can get my hands on really. My great grandfather, grandfather, granny, dad and mom are all gifted artists, so I hope I inherited that. Many times, I’ll look at what is being done in art around me, and it sometimes seems that in order to be a good artist, you have to be able to perfectly recreate a scene or image. This always frustrates me because I’m a bit ocd and everything has to be perfect for that. Lots of paper and erasing (poor trees). The more of her artwork I saw, the more I tried to experiment with my own. I started doing what I wanted, and not just what I thought I should do. This all happened to quickly really. I remember the first time I sat down and just drew anything that I wanted. It felt so incredibly right. I was finally relaxed and free to do what I wanted, less structure, more personality. I experiment more now and if I could pick one thing that has rubbed off it would be the use of bold, bright colors- it makes it so much fun. I love draw or paint with music on, it inspires me as nothing else can. Music and art go hand in hand for me, it’s pretty much my way of life. I know Mika and Yasmine both work on the art, so both are included in my gratitude. Both (and as I hear it, most of the family) are talented inspirational artists and I look forward to seeing more from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything you said there, from Yasmine being one of the nicest people ever, to what a great influence she's had on people (such as you and me). I've spent money on a whole load of paints and other art tools because I missed this side of art. I've always learnt about the boring stuff and it was nice seeing something more modern and 'pop' like the kinda things I prefer to see. Can't wait til exams are over so I can carry on with my drawings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get out till June 11th though:thumbdown: It's really quite unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I went through a period when I was child where I just couldn't stop drawing. I'd ask for paper when my birthday came around LOL, but then I went through a period where I just stopped (had a bit of a hidden crisis during that time lol) but now I draw whenever I can or feel the inspiration to. Copying real life, copying cartoons, making my own Manga comic strips...I like to do a variety of things but only with pencils. It's the only thing I know how to use and am happy using that one media. I CAN'T STAND USING PAINT, although Danika's very good at it if her Yasmine Appreciation Book is anything to go by. I must say her artwork really helped me get inspired again and I said thanks in the message I sent her, in Danika's book. I hope she's read it. It's so fantastic to see something fresh. And I agree with Scut - I love seeing the raw drawings (like the ones never painted) makes you appreciate even more how much work goes into it. What a genius. And I never saw that myspace first time ive ever heard of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I never saw that myspace first time ive ever heard of it! And wonderful drawings have come out of your talent Aw thanks I guess after a while it gets annoying, I painted for 2 hours on Monday, 6 hours yesterday, and 7-8 hours today for my art exam and I'm still not finished I know I shouldn't tell you this cos it was supposed to be a surprise.. but.. I'm gonna 'make ya something' for your birthday And I agree with the bit I bolded there, I've finally found something different, and the sort of art I like to see more of because of the work she's done. I really, really, really x 1000 hope they hold another exhibiton (preferably in London). Yeah she had it a few months ago, but then she posted a bulletin saying she was going to delete it because noone believed it was actually her, which is one of the reasons I thought it wasn't her, cos who cares if people think if that's really her or not? But her pictures were kind of private I guess, but then the way she wrote didn't sound like her, like the way she wrote sounded like she was foreign, but her English is perfectly good. And if she did actually create that Myspace, then sorry for offending you Yasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaawwwww!!! *wishes she gave you more than just a birthday card for yours lol* Ooooooh I totally didnt know about "Yasmine having MySpace". I kinda wish I saw it? And i TOTALLY hope they do another art exhibition. I nearly went to it. I would have gone on the 11th, but that became a private party, and on the 12th I had a dance rehearsal, and on the 13th and 14th I had dance shows. Talk about crap timing! Mika's LiCM front cover took me four days, and his Love Today single cover took me two if i remember correctly lol. sometimes i wonder why i go through so much trouble:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't miss out on much, sadly it didn't have pics of her artwork, there were a few from the exhibition, and other non-art related ones. Ah, that was so unlucky I know you definitely would have loved it if you came. We just need to hope and pray (maybe nag him by sending him messages) about having another one . I guess it's kind of worth it? And cos the artwork is so amazing you just feel the need to want to do it as well? I've wanted to draw out the covers of the album/singles as well, but then I couldn't be bothered and thought I'd rather just do my own stuff.

Aawww you're so cute Dan, I have a feeling this "creating stuff for birthdays" might turn into a tradition i would have loved to have gone to that exhibition, i was gutted i couldn't go!!! I think we should start a "WHO THINKS MIKA SHOULD DO ANOTHER EXHIBITION?" thread I quite like copying things, because I like to see the likeness afterwards, and I can see my mistakes and stuff. I also learn from other people's styles and I can implement it into my own work. Take the picture I drew Jemma for example: The animé characters were copied from a "how to draw Animé characters" book I purchased in America, September 05. With Mikey Choi I copied a face from one character and used the hair from another. Thus, I give them their own little characteristics to give them...well, more character. (similarly in the Mika/Yasmine manga comic, where I copied a chibi character and gave him curly hair, white t-shirt, red jeans and braces, to give him the "Mika" look). I had to improvise Jemma's face in the first pic of her, and her body language in the pic of her and Mikey Choi in the split pic. The background lines (that form in the centre and explode outwards) are a combination of DaWack's style (think "Big Girl" single cover) and Animé so this suited to the manga comic, and the lines behind the door were taken from the LiCM front cover, same with the psychadelic circles. I suppose it's a bit like Mika's sound - he listens to different types, takes different elements from different songs and place them in his own - therefore creating a similar and recogniseable yet different sound. haha, i sound like i'm writing an essay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavi Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 She definitely is my favorite artist these days!
