is a call to action. How can you use your creativity to inspire change? Each issue will pose a design challenge. The goal? To create a solution that promotes awareness in your own community.

Make your own plantable seed paper and use it to create tear-off flyers that encourage urban beautification within your community. This interactive design campaign will allow people to “tear-off” your message and pass it on, or plant the paper themselves and watch the seeds grow.

Just how will your message get on the paper? Well, that’s up to you - be creative - not everything has to be printed. Consider embossing or stitching. But if you want to write or print on the paper, don’t forget to use natural or organic inks.

Submit your designs and images of your flyers in action to editor@creomagazine.com by December 31.

We’ll feature some brilliant ideas in our next issue.

when did you graduate from sva and what did you study?

I graduated with a degree in Computer Art from the School of Visual Arts in 2009. I focused on Multimedia, Motion Graphics, and Video.

As a recent graduate, what are your plans or goals as an artist?

Professionally, I’ve worked as a designer at Nail Gun, a Broadcasting and Motion Graphics Company based in New York. It was a wonderful chance to collaborate with creative people. Personally, I will create experimental visual storytelling integrated with unique illustrations, sound, and interactive play as a new cinema form.

What was the best piece of advice you received as a student?

While I was taking an illustration class at the Art Center College of Design, I became stuck trying to build up my ideas and I made various excuses about how impossible it was to build concrete ideas.

This limited the creative results. My teacher, Jason Holly, told me, “There is no ‘should be’.” This sentence penetrated and rooted in my mind.

What do you wish you had learned in school (or paid attention to) that would help you today?

I always struggle with storytelling. When I watch my animation in a public theater, I wonder if people can understand my story. If I could attend school again, I would concentrate on story development. It is crucial for me to adopt a strong structure in my art and film.

Besides finding a job, what has been the greatest challenge since graduating?

Learning how to advertise my artwork has been the biggest challenge for me. I didn’t learn about self-marketing in school. After graduating, I realized I needed a bridge between my artwork and real world. So, I began to submit my work to film festivals and art programs.

You were selected for this year’s Chicago International Film Festival? What was the process like? What did you learn from it?

One of my friends recommended Withoutabox, which is an online service for film festivals. I researched many festivals that match my work, like experimental art film festivals. Chicago International Film Festival created one movie section, Animation Nations, which is a strong short animation collection. Selected works are examples of unique and powerful visual story telling. I learn again the most significant point in movie making is what I observe and how to represent it, and sharing my animation with the public is the greatest motivation for creating the next project.

Recipe for Revenge Red Fire Heavy Memories issue (from Red Revenge) 2009 o.

creomagazine.com

r eali ty by tes

a view from the other side

Describe your concept for “Red Revenge.”

Based on quirky, yet poignant vignettes from pre-adolescence, Red Revenge is a surreal animation that takes us on a journey through a woman’s trials and tribulations while coming into her self, as she sinks deeper into her psyche and comes to a startling self-revelation.

This story represents the complex psychological emotions lifted from Freud’s Dream Theory and helps us to understand our own coming of age stories. It is also a personal narrative derived from real experiences and visualizations derived from my diary and doodling.

How did you develop your illustration style?

When I’ve faced working on paper, I’ve made efforts to be honest, only representing the story with mood. I love the moods in the films of Fritz Lang and David Lynch. I enjoy the ways of expression in collage works. Juxtaposing each element, like pictures and hand drawings, creates an unexpected new world and form. In addition, some soundtracks are my biggest inspiration for representing my images.

In this tough economy, how are you creatively marketing yourself?

It is tough at this time. However, I’ve tried to submit my animation to some film festivals, galleries, and film productions. Fortunately, I caught a chance to participate as a graphic designer and animator in an independent short movie, Our Daily Life, which is an environmental documentary. This experience led to another short film, Fantastic Glass Portrait, directed by Arkii Mun Jung.

It’s often suggested to have a thirty second “elevator speech” prepared at all times. What’s yours?

I became an artist to create picture stories. Mostly I pick up dream fragments, which relate to my subconscious and are affected by my mundane life. This expands and influences my art works, like my animation, Red Revenge. My perspective on art forms, illustrations, and experimental animation can solve problems and project questions to people in terms of an interesting subject, real and beyond real.

what we’re going to do here is go back, way back. watch the dust lift off the windows while paint peels off in thick curls. witness the luster return and the unique beauty emerge once again. the stage is set and the doors of seattle’s historic lorraine hotel open to reveal a new cast of characters.

The makeover of a neglected neighborhood icon into an international hostel continues to be a dream in progress for Lee Kindell, who operates the property with his wife, Nancy Gambin. It started with a big picture observation: In order to have a true global community, travel is essential.

“This is an issue in the United States,” said Kindell. “We don’t have a global view because we don’t travel as much.” At the epicenter of that experience is culture - food, daily life, language, and, of course, art. By providing a friendly, social accommodation for the budgetconscious traveler, Kindell hopes to encourage Americans to travel and, while doing so, shine a light on Seattle exclusively.

To give a “collective voice” to the local art scene, the lobby boasts a gallery for emerging artists as well. This public venue is merely the beginning of what this Belltown neighborhood can come expect. Kindell sees City Hostel Seattle as a catalyst for other creative ideas like hosting local bands and poetry readings. A public sculpture space is already in the works. And the garden houses a large screen for outdoor movies; the perfect stage for a budding filmmaker.

The result is an art collective inside the walls of a hostel. Much more than standard metal bed frames in sterile cubes, the heart of this project is the art within the rooms. Murals or installations created by 47 local artists surround travelers in nearly every space. From local, established names to emerging students to graffiti taggers, the artists recruited are as diverse as the styles and moods they produced. Travelers will find themselves pulled into densely layered worlds inhabited by colorful creatures or surrounded by the familiarity of more classic figures.

creomagazine.com

But inspiring travelers through local culture is only half of the equation. Kindell also promotes fair trade and believes in sustainability, a model business ethic sure to inspire an entire community. Artists are charged zero commissions when their work is sold from the lobby gallery and work-trade opportunities are available as well.

The building itself is partially run on solar power with plans to be off-grid in the near future.

While the rainwater-collection system marries art and science, every opportunity to recycle or repurpose elements of the original hotel was captured during renovation. Old doors became tables; mailboxes turned into bookshelves. “The building,” Kindell described, “is recycled into itself.”

The neighborhood, with its youthful vibe, seems relieved to see this historic landmark welcoming travelers again.

One person’s dream in progress may just prove to ignite a little wanderlust in us all.

After receiving her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1997, Leah made her living as an interactive designer and art director in Boston for over ten years, painting only periodically. Thanks in great part to the audience she’s found through various online art sites, she has been able to paint almost full time since the spring of 2008. Her current body of work falls somewhere between the worlds of photography, painting and collage. She begins her pieces with photographs of seemingly ordinary and mundane scenes, which she then paints directly upon to distill and reveal the visually poignant moments that exist all around us, but are usually overlooked. Despite all the suburban scenes and mid-century modern design in her work, she was actually raised by artists deep in the woods of New Hampshire and now lives and works on the top floor of a sunny triple-decker apartment in Boston.

You started your career as an interactive designer and art director. What did you learn in those roles that now apply to you as a painter?

I’m sure I probably learned lots of the useful skills you’d expect like managing my time, dealing with clients and presenting my work. What has influenced me the most however was that I discovered I didn’t want to spend hour after hour in meetings, commuting to an office, or only creating work meant to sell products for big corporations. Plus with the rapid pace of evolution in technology coupled with the demand for fresh content, most of my design projects had very short life spans on the Web. The money was great and the work could be interesting, but I started to feel like everything I designed was just evaporating into thin air. There was no lasting tangible evidence of my creations.

While I still do some freelance flash design projects, I now spend most of my time creating art that I can hold in my hands or hang on a wall, art that doesn’t require any special technology or username and password in order to view it, work that is clearly in my particular voice and I hope will resonate and remain relevant for years to come.

N o . 02

All that said I am also the first to admit that the success I’ve found with my paintings and prints is in great part due to the exposure I’ve been able to find online for my work. So I suppose that learning how to work on the Web as a designer has helped to make it possible for me to work offline as an artist.

Although your work reflects otherwise, you were raised in what some would consider extraordinary surroundings. When did you start to take notice of ordinary, suburban environments?

I grew up in a small town in the foothills of New Hampshire that was home to a number of farmers, artists, and craftspeople. My parents and many of their friends had grown up in the suburbs, but chose to raise their own children in the woods and took pride in making everything they possibly could by hand. Most of us lived in old farmhouses built in the 1700’s, we heated with and cooked on wood stoves, grew our own

food, wore lots of hand sewn, hand-me-down or thrift shop bought clothes and were surrounded by art and craft throughout our typically cluttered homes.

Suburbia was both foreign and intriguing to me. It was a place I mostly learned about from TV shows and on trips to visit my grandparents or cousins. In 6th grade I began going to a regional middle school and met kids from nearby towns who lived in tidy homes with manicured front lawns, wall to wall carpeting, rec rooms in the basements, and shockingly polite parents.

From my limited and naĂŻve perspective, the families in these homes all seemed so happy and at ease in their organized and seemingly predictable worlds.

There’s an interesting dialog between what you call “the ‘fact’ of the photographic image and the ‘fiction’ of the paint.” Did you intend for that same tension to be present within the subject matter as well – the fact vs. fiction of suburban life?

Absolutely. The fact vs. fiction of suburban life continues to remain an object of fascination for me in my work and my life. Although the suburbs remain places I know of only second hand, the tension between the simplified facades presented to the world and the underlying complicated realities of life is the story I am most interested in exploring.

So many of your subjects are homes, but this last year you painted many camp trailers. What is it about these “homes” that caught your attention? issue

N o . 02

creomagazine.com

Despite the fact that I was raised to believe that camping in a trailer was environmentally irresponsible and

wasn’t “real” camping, I admit that the vintage travel trailers appeal to me on many levels. On the surface I am taken with their lovely curving lines and pretty colors, but I am also interested in the simplification of what we require to call a place, “home” and the desire to have that sense of home with us wherever we go.

that I’m an instant gratification addict, so posting to Flickr is a perfect fit for me. And while I usually love working from home, it can also feel pretty isolating at times, which makes these kinds of mini studio visits and exchanges with other artists a treasured part of my day.

Some of these trailers break my heart as they sit in disrepair on fragile supports, others look like they are still waiting for a trip to the moon despite the fact that (thus far) they’ve only found themselves at crowded campgrounds or parked indefinitely in the backyard.

With all of them, there is the possibility of great adventures, without ever having to leave the comfort and perceived safety of home.

Artist statement & images courtesy of the Artist.

If you were to paint your ideal home or environment, what would we see?

The homes I love to paint most are not always the ones I’d choose to live in. We’re still in a triple-decker apartment, but dream about owning our own place someday. I’m still not sure if it would be an old farmhouse, a midcentury modern ranch or an artist’s loft, but with any of them I would want plenty of windows to let in light during the day, a wood stove to keep us warm at night and garden out back.

How do you define success in terms of being an artist?

Being able to make my art every day and pay the bills every month is a good starting point for me.

Other than that, I know I need interactions with other artists as well as deadlines to complete work. The internet has helped on both counts. Between blogs, online markets and social networking sites, we can now find venues to sell our work and ways to connect with an audience from around the world. Obviously the possibilities online are always changing, but I’ve been on a big Flickr kick this past year. To begin with, it’s amazing to be able to post work in progress or finished pieces and moments later start getting feedback. I admit
