hiii!

I wanted to know what kinds of art things you have (for example: which ones you have and brushes, chalk and etc) and which ones you like to use the most :)

im thinking of making a little video about this since i get this question a lot!! it's honestly a big hodgepodge of things from all over, i don't really swear by any brands- art stuff ramble under the cut

the chalk i used in my most recent sketchbook is prang brand (idk anything about them i got it thrifted bc it had a seal on the package lol), and my favorite supplies at the moment are higgins ink, inkjoy pens (always) and a 0.7 sumogrip mechanical pencil! other staples are crayola crayons, watercolors, sharpies, highlighters, craft paint and artskills or posca paint markers! >:]

#lol idk how to be concise but i hope this answers ur question #i think i'll make a short video where i go thru the tools i use if people are interested :]

@artsnacks was having a sale so I scooped up a mystery box & I love it! I am seriously geeking out about it! I’m so ready to break into this box! But I am the MOST excited about the Kum pencil sharpener! When you’re a stubborn goat like me you’re very attached to you’re pencils & Kum is the gold standard! Which makes the sharpest points & smoothest slices! Makes sketching traditionally and/or converting to digital a breeze! #artsnacks #kum #touchmarkers #sumogrip #carandache #carandachepencils #shinhanart #zigmillennium #artsnackschallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bth2yMFhXsn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=thrzvf1xmpb3

ART SCHOOL | INTERVIEW WITH JON CARLING

Scratchy black and white drawings and the ink meanderings of artist Jon Carling have always caught our eye. They’re like something out of a weird dream or out of an ancient children’s book–,and they’re always captivating. We’ve been following his prolific drawing career for a long time and recently caught up with Jon to find out more about his inspirations, his early artistic influences, and his recent dip into animating his beautiful works.

Photographs courtesy of the artist.

Introduce yourself? And where you’re from or currently residing? What’s your favorite thing about the city? My name is Jon Carling. I am an independent artist living in Oakland, California. I love the landscape. The beauty of the Northern Californian coastline is a life long inspiration to me.

How would you describe your work to someone who is just coming across it? Scratchy ink drawings, some scribbling, mostly black and white. Weird children's book art.

How did you first get interested in drawing or figure out that you had a knack creating awesome art? I have always really enjoyed making stuff. Drawing is really a habit from childhood, I would escape into my sketchbook, and my imagination, making up worlds. It is an awesome feeling to manifest ideas with some degree of success. That feeling is what keeps me doing it after all of these years.

Who and what were some of your early artistic influences? What artists inspire you these days? Early on, I loved Saturday Morning Cartoons, After school Cartoons, Fucking Sesame Street. All the 80s kids' stuff. Garfield Volumes, The Far Side, and Calvin & Hobbes.

When I was 6 or 7, a comic book store opened near my house, and that had a huge impact. The dude who ran it, Butch, was an old hippie dude who also had a huge collection of Japanese comics and toys.This is when Voltron and Robotech had just started airing in the U. S. . It was perfect timing to be exposed to all that incredible art.Greek Myths by D'Aulaires was my first book, and basically my bible. I think you can see the influence on my work from that book.

These days, I have been studying animation, so, I have been admiring the classic cartoons and animation from early film, all the way up to today. I have been reading 'Elemental Magic' by Joseph Gilland.It is a book all about traditional animation special effects. Amazing.

Not only do you produce a lot of drawings, but also create zines and now dabbling in animation. Tell us a little bit about how you ended up animating your drawings? Obviously, I have a love for cartoons. Creating a cartoon of my own has been something I have dreamed of forever. I have created short animations over the years using traditional methods: Paper and pen on a light table, scanning everything into photoshop, and putting it all together in there. It takes forever, and it can be pretty discouraging when you are sitting there doing data entry for hours.

Recently, a friend let me try out his Ipad Pro, and I am blown away by how much better the pen interface has become. I got excited about the possibilities for animating and started researching tablets. And, after years of being very reluctant to using digital tools to make my work, I finally got a drawing tablet. I ended up getting the Samsung S4 tablet instead of the Ipad Pro because I feel like the pen and the screen are better suited for me and my work. I am using it everyday, I love how fast and clean the process is, while keeping the feel of my lines. Now I have a Huion Kamvas monitor for my computer too, I am getting the feel for the whole process, but, I am excited about what I can do now.

As exciting as it is, pen and paper is always closest to my heart.

What are your essential art tools and materials? I really just need a sketchbook, a pencil (Sumogrip .5) , and a pen (Pilot Hi-Tec-C 03). If I have that with me, I am quite happy.

How do your ideas take shape? How do you get from start to finish? What’s your process? I love to daydream. I have a bunch of ongoing stories in my head that I always turn to if I want to go somewhere.Other times, I just draw without any idea or expectation. I follow the pencil and start fleshing things out.I love phrases, sometimes out of context. A simple phrase can be the spark for a huge idea.

How has your style of drawing changed or evolved? What allows you to grow artistically? I don't know what is changing exactly. The cross-over digital art is new, so, I am sure it will alter my work to some degree.I feel like I am always refining and hammering out a more perfect version of the world in my head.

What has been the most challenging project you’ve worked on? Last year, I had the opportunity to illustrate Carlo Collodi's 'Pinoccio' for an Italian publisher.It was almost 200 illustrations with a tight schedule. It was just an epic amount of drawing, and when it was finished, I was able to travel to Italy for the release, and it just turned into a really magical experience.

What was the hardest thing about it and the most rewarding? The discipline to complete the work, while maintaining quality that honors the book. It was a grind for large portions of the work, but, the end result made me realize how much good comes out of genuine work applied to a dream.

What was your last adventure that showed up in one of your illustrations, thematically or just visually? Oh, it probably had something to do with a dream that involved a bird headed soldier dragging my injured body off the battlefield.

What advice would you give someone who wants to follow in your footsteps and pursue art? Make sure you are doing it regardless if it is your "job". I am passionate about drawing, it is what I do, I don't see it as my career. First and foremost, I do it for myself.

What’s your best Art School tip that you want to share with folks? By all means, enjoy yourself, and the time you have. I would make sure you have put yourself in the direction that fits best with your specific way of creating.Art School costs so much money, I don't think a truly determined person needs to go at all. If you love art, and the creative process, you will seek knowledge.The debt from art school can crush any hopes for a fulfilling career in the field.

What are your favorite style of VANS? I love the ComfyCush Era style and fit. They are extremely comfortable and look super cool.I also love the traditional white slip-ons, they are the best shoe in the world to draw on.

Anything you can share that is coming up? Last year, I created a limited hand cast resin figurine of my 'Traveling Witch' character. You can purchase the second edition in my Etsy store, along with other witch loot. FOLLOW JON | WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | SHOP
