Our Message
Art creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future. The fascination of art has to do with time. Visual art is the quickest of all serious cultural forms to make its full nature clear to the beholder. It's worth dwelling on the rapidity of art. It is conventional, in the moralizing rhetoric of the critic, to say Rembrandt repays a lot more time than most works of art - you can look at his pictures for a lifetime and still find new depth in them. But what if this is not the most important thing about great art? What if it's the instant effect that matters? So it's not always true that great art takes a long time to appreciate and instantaneous art is shallow. In fact, some of the most revered paintings can be appreciated much more quickly than video art - which has, as I've already conceded, brought narrative time into the gallery. Why is time-based art so popular? Does it seem more important because it takes up time? Personally, I agree with Leonardo da Vinci. The most magical thing in art is the instant and complete image.

MESSAGE FROM
THE EDITOR Imagination Is More Inportant Than Knowledge
The transformation of a team happens in the hands of great imaginative leaders, not in indulgent knowledge seekers. While some form of education is generally a prerequisite for progress, we need to understand the balance between knowledge and imagination. Today’s leader should understand both past and present experiences of his/her team, and use that knowledge to cultivate creative progress and imaginative learning. As Einstein suggests, it is our imagination that will propel us to great strides in moving our teams and businesses forward. So how do you imagine yourselves as a different team? By setting BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) to stimulate progress and guide your team through the process of creating a Vision and Mission statement. This creative procedure can help encourage your team to think of themselves and opportunities in new ways. When we can focus people on what they can become, we see small changes in the otherwise mundane. Having a Mission and Vision statement clarifies a team’s purpose and allows them to confidently contribute to the creative process. Basically, it puts all workers on the same page and allows them to work in synergy. A mission is simply asking yourself, “what do I need to do everyday to be successful?” While a vision statement is more aligned with, “if we do what we need to everyday, we will have succeeded.” It is important to reference your business’s mission in moments of confusion – the ideal mission statement will refresh you of your business’s goals and put you back on the right track. Give your teams the creative power to solve business challenges by providing clear and concise Mission and Vision statements and letting their imagination handle the rest. “LOVE ART AND LOVE INPRINT MAGAZINE AS MUCH AS WE DO”

DESIGN PHOTOGRAPHY FOOD FASHION ILLUSTRATION LITERATURE PEOPLE
For the greatest inspiration of Art and Artists, the priority is to "lose oneself." Ultimately, an artist is motivated to realize that Higher Self, the completely inspired Self every artist know in their moments of pure expression.. the making of love that motivates pure inspiration. This is when what IS is! These are our spires of inspiration. True words of motivation are like best religious inspirational sayings. This almost incomprehensible motivation embodies the I AM of Moses, the burning bosom, the undressing of flesh to reveal a naked soul, as if touching and tasting dewdrops of spilt blood. Emotional scars upon souls often scream within chalices of pain; nonetheless, tongues can reach hitherto heights, waxing wicks of flight seeking to soar as the light embodies the words of motivation herself.

Filippino Lippi
Although many of the Italian Renaissance artists worked in Florence, artists like Filippino Lippi flourished in Venice, a
powerful city-state populated by rich bankers and merchants.
Born in Prato, Tuscany, about 1457, Lippi arrived into the world in an unusual manner. He was born of the illegitimate union of Fra
Filippo Lippi, a Catholic monk, and Lucretia Buti, a nun.
Fra Lippi was an early Renaissance painter who trained his son
until his death in 1469. Filippino learned much from his father and
also studied under another Renaissance great, Sandro Botticelli.
Art historians classify Filippino Lippi’s early pieces as reflective of Botticelli’s style. In the beginning, Lippi completed a fresco cycle at the Brancacci Chapel in Florence’s Santa Maria del Carmine.
His efforts were a continuation of an unfinished project by Masolino and Masaccio. Lippi was also hired by Filippo Strozzi to paint works in the Strozzi Chapel, but he did not complete these works until after his patron’s death. Lippi completed other works with Catholic themes besides frescoes, including the Apparition of the Virgin to St Bernard (1480),

an altar piece, and Madonna and Child (c. 1485). The former was created as a commission for a Florence merchant, Piero del Pugliese, to adorn the altar in his family chapel at Santa Maria alle Campora. A beautiful work of landscape and human figures, Lippi creates a realistic rendering of the Virgin and Saint Bernard. Mary is surrounded by angels at the foreground of the painting with St. Bernard. In the background, a rocky mount rises up behind them with the hint of a town in the upper right corner. Permanently housed at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madonna and Child is a vivid depiction of the Virgin Mary. She

wears a brilliant scarlet dress and a black cape. Her dark blonde hair is held back by a delicate blue scarf. The baby she holds is creamy and plump with an old man’s face. Baby Jesus studies the Bible. In the upper left corner of the canvas, there is a view of a loggia which shows the impact of Flemish painting on Lippi. Madonna and Child contrasts nicely with his father’s similar painting, Madonna and Child Enthroned With Two Angels. Mary has a lighter, rounder face, wears a red blouse and flowing blue skirt, and looks sadly away from the observer. Jesus and the two angels are also fair-haired and somber. While both works are serious in tone and keeping with the Catholic art of the Renaissance, they reflect how a father and a son could interpret the classic Madonna and Baby Jesus work differently. As a tribute to the social climate of the Renaissance, the younger Lippi was able to achieve considerable success despite his legitimate heritage. He died in 1504.

Madelyne Joan Templeton Painter - Illustrator
Madelyne Joan Templeton is a twenty four year old artist from Northern California. Art has always been a passion, and a way to communicate to others ever since she was a little girl. —“Art has always been an interest and a passion in my life. Using images to create a visual connection with others and communicate is my strongest way of talking to people”. Working with watercolor allows for my emotions and expressions to flow freely into paper. The use of transparent and opaque inks not only has strong elaborate colors but it helps create a permanent and unpredictable result which adds character to each new piece. InPrint | Fall 2014

INTERVIEW

more about the artist
troybrooks.com instagram.com/thedevilsdove facebook.com/troy.brooks.56
Blending mannerism and pop art with a dash of surrealism, the women of Troy Brooks present an elaborate pageantry of characters observed in allegorical settings. These women play out intimate scenes through a detailed visual language. They are usually caught in moments where something transformative has or is about to happen.
Tell me about your childhood, where did you grow up? I’m from a small town in Southern Ontario called Chatham. We moved every two or three years. I was painfully shy and the constant moving didn’t help. I ended up developing panic attacks in public that I never told anyone about. I spent most of my time in school hiding in bathroom stalls. How did you first get into illustration? Are you self taught or you went to school for it? I’m not an illustrator. I don’t even take commissions. My business is fine art. I make paintings and sell them in galleries and that is the only work I do. I’ve never had any train-
ing. I began drawing woman at two years old and any technical ability I’ve gained has been my own trial and error. I illustrated a children’s book once many years ago and it was a nightmare. Swore I would never do it again. Your work has a refreshing look to it that stands out well in a growing sea of Illustration. What are some visual influences that make their way into your work? Thank you. Maybe it stands out because it’s not illustration. I don’t know that any other painter really influenced me but a few of my favorites are Van Dongen, Otto Dix and Klimt. I learned how to draw by sketching the old George Hur-
rell photographs of Crawford and Dietrich when I was little which is probably why my work has that nostalgic vibe. It’s very familiar to me Could you share your mental approach to developing concepts for your Illustrations and the technical side of your creative process? An image pops into my head and I start looking for all the various reference material to match the concept, which could take days. I don’t usually make a preliminary sketch, I just start building layers on the canvas. Things can get added and taken out in between layers, but I usually have a very definite direction.

INTERVIEW (CONTINUED)
I feel very proud to be part of a such a long tradition of painters. I don’t personally know anyone else who just makes a living selling paintings. Troy Brooks - Illustrator | Ontario
Your work features an evocative combination of dynamic color and expressions. Could you talk about your experience in developing these elements of your style? Color took me a while to get the hang of. I have learned the less chaotic your pallet is the greater the impact. In terms of my girls, I always made their faces too long. It was something I was incessantly going back to fix in my work. One day I just decided to stop trying to fix it and I began accentuating that elongation. Everybody calls it my style now but it sprang from my inept sense of proportion. What do you like about your work, and what do you think other illustrators like about it? I love the flexing of my imagination when I work. I feel like it’s a form of meditation and the things that come from moments of true inspiration can be completely miraculous. As far as the appeal of my work to other people, aside from appreciating the technical rendering of light, skin and fabrics, from what I understand it also has something to do with the open narrative. I have InPrint | Fall 2014
a very specific visual vocabulary I’ve developed but I guess it comes across very open ended, so that people can apply their own crazy story. What role does personal work play in your business and your craft? I’m not sure I know what personal work is. I can tell you that I started making pictures of women because I was convinced I was born the wrong sex when I was little and making coded visual diary images of women was the safest way I could express that. What do you love most about being an illustrator? Not being one. The best thing about the work I do is that it’s not beholden to anyone. My girls are completely sovereign and I cherish that freedom. Thankfully there seems to be an audience. But my only responsibility is to the muses.
I feel very proud to be part of a such a long tradition of painters. I don’t personally know anyone else who just makes a living selling paintings. That’s a pretty good reason to feel grateful. Fun is overrated. Would you tell us something nobody would guess about you? I don’t own any art. What tools do you use for your work? Oil on canvas and panel. Watercolor on paper. And a ton of brushes. Do you have any advice for aspiring illustrators? I don’t know about illustration but if you were to ask me about the fine art industry, I would say don’t do it. There’s no more room at the Inn. My own experience has given me this wisdom, if I feel compelled to ask for advice, it’s a sign I should do something else.
And what are the most difficult things about being an illustrator? Where can we find you online? The most difficult thing about the www.troybrooks.com work I do is that it takes away from other things. I do this work to almost the exclusion of everything else. But

Cinnamon Apple Pie Ingredients:
4 red apples 4 tablespoon brown sugar 3 tablespoon cinnamon 3 tablespoon flour 200g (two sticks) unsalted butter 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour
History
Preparation and cooking time:
preparation: 20 min. Chilling the dough: 45 min. Baking: 30-40 min
Apple pie was brought to the English colonies by the British, Dutch, and Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.In the English colonies the apple pie had to wait for the planting of European varieties, brought across the Atlantic, to become fruit-bearing apple trees, to be selected for their cooking qualities as there were no native apples.] In the meantime, the colonists were more likely to make their pies, or “pasties�, from meat rather than fruit; and the main use for apples, once they were available, was in cider. However, there are American apple pie recipes, both manuscript and printed, from the 18th century, and it has since become a very popular dessert[citation needed]. All apple varieties are propagated by grafting, as clones, but in the New World, planting from seeds was more popular, which quickly led to the development of hundreds of new native varieties. Apple pie was a common food in 18th-century Delaware. As noted by the New Sweden historian Dr. Israel Acrelius in a letter: “Apple pie is used throughout the whole year, and when fresh Apples are no longer to be had, dried ones are used. It is the evening meal of children.

Never stop. When you take on an assignment, it’s vitally important that you complete the task. Your client is relying on you to deliver what you agreed to do.
