Character Name Ideas (Male)

So I've been browsing through BehindTheName (great resource!) recently and have compiled several name lists. Here are some names, A-Z, that I like. NOTE: If you want to use any of these please verify sources, meanings etc, I just used BehindTheName to browse and find all of these. Under the cut:

Hayranı Olacağınız 10 Parliament Sinema Kulübü Filmi

Parliament Sinema Kulübü, 90'lı yılları çocuk veya genç olarak yaşamış herkes için apayrı bir yere sahiptir. Parliament Sinema Kulübünü Hatırlayalım...

Parliament Sinema Kulübü hangi yıllarda yayınlandı? Hangi kanalda gösterildi? Parliament Sinema Kulübü'nde hangi filmler yayınlandı?

Pazar gecelerinin vazgeçilmez sinema keyfi olan Parliament Sinema Kulübü, Star 1 ile hayatımıza girip geçen yıllarda Inter Star ve Star TV adlarını alan Uzan Ailesine ait farklı adlardaki aynı kanalda yayın kuşağı olarak sürdürülmüştü. 1992 yılında Sinema Kulübü adıyla yayına başlayan yayın kuşağına Parliament'in isim sponsoru olmasıyla adını hafızalara kazımış ve 90'lı yılların unutulmazları arasına girmişti. Parliament Sinema Kulübü, 1997 yılında tütün mamülü reklamı yapıldığı gerekçesiyle RTÜK kararıyla yayından kaldırılınca efsanenin adı Sinema Gecesi olarak değiştirilip yayın sürdürülmüştü... Zamanla yayın kuşağına karşı duyulan ilginin azalması ve televizyonda film yayınlamanın maliyetinin artmasıyla tamamen yayından kaldırılmıştı. Star Tv'nin Doğuş Grubu tarafından satın alınmasıyla nostalji olarak yeniden yanına alınan sinema kuşağı 32 haftalık gösterimin ardından yeniden bizlere veda etmişti ancak hiçbir zaman Parliament Sinema Kulübü'nün o 90'lı yıllardaki tadını verememişti... Pazar gecelerinin vazgeçilmesi olan ve 7'den 70'e herkes için büyük keyif olan Parliament Sinema Kulübü ilk olarak 2 Şubat 1992'de Batman filmini yayınlamıştı... Devamında Polis Akademisi, Mad Max, Gandhi, Geleceğe Dönüş, Hayalet Avcıları, Kedi Kız, İkiz Kan gibi filmlerin de dahil olduğu yüzlerce filmi izleyiciyle buluşturmuştu. FilmOku.Com olarak, tavsiye film arayışında olanlar için Parliament Sinema Kulübünde yayınlanmış yüzlerce film arasından en iyi IMDb puanına ve en iyi Rotten Tomatoes değerlendirmesine sahip filmleri sizler için listeledik.

Wow, this takes me back. So I was looking through a box filled with my old art and writings and found this entire universe I created back in 2007. It shared some similar themes to the original version of Ghost Story (a la some sections of the afterlife being explored), but Ghost Story got more focus probably because it was more actiony-shounen, while this one, from what I can see by old notes, focused more on the impact the discovery of an actual land of the dead/ghosts/spirits/whatever had on society. (And how society took this discovery and tried to control it. Yeeeeah, not fun.) But along with this, there’s also these four dorks gaining metahuman powers, dimension-hopping, and bad puns made from song and movie titles. (Okay, so I was WAAAY into Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution, and Sailor Moon at this time, so I definitely see their influence the more I find old material on this XD)

I’m sorta surprised this never really took off as a story idea for me, because it’s fascinating af. Not to mention the parents of the main girl take on a larger role than any other set of parents does in my other stories. AND they even have their own subplot and a kickass backstory that actually makes me want to write a prequel about them before they got married, because wtf I love them a lot, almost more than the actual main heroes.

So, for the first time in almost a decade, here’s some brand-new art of the main protagonists. (Even if it is just cartoony doodles.)

...You can totally tell these characters were designed in 2007/2008. Just look at their clothes. I’m pretty sure I owned like, all their outfits back during that time, too.

Left to right: Danielle (lol, I wonder where I got that name from :P ) Frederick-Baxter, Annaleesa Robertson, Cathy Lewis, and Niel (yes, spelled that way) Jensen. I know Annaleesa and Niel went through some name changes, and ‘Baxter’ was added onto Danielle’s surname like, this week. (I couldn’t find the sheet with her full name on it for a bit, so I just gave her the filler surname ‘Baxter’, after the labs, as a placeholder. But then I got attached to it, so when I did find her actual surname, I just tacked it on the end of it, XD)

Niel being goth is the best part of this. (Yes, he’s wearing a skull pendant necklace, too, XD) I think he’s my favorite of these main protags, from what I’ve read of him.

...This feels like I’m discovering old friends, omj. This is like ‘Vintage Bookworm’ in terms of stories. (Along with Ghost Story, KaBoom, and Class of 2068, which were all created in the same year. The only difference is that I continued to develop those three, so they evolved along with me.)

#bookworm555 #my characters #my art #damn it feels weird drawing these dudes again #i had to look at suuuuuper old art for design references because I haven't drawn them since 2008 XD

Hyperallergic: Easy Does It: The Slow Surprises of Stanley Whitney

Stanley Whitney, “Untitled” (2016), spit bite aquatint, soft ground etching (all images courtesy Niels Borch Jensen Gallery)

BERLIN — Very good art tends to be at once stirringly enigmatic, and familiar within a known language. This unsettling double nature results from an artist’s persistence at searching for unseen dimensions, facets, and cracks in their métier. For over four decades, Stanley Whitney has undertaken such a search, with uncommon patience and consistency. His paintings, drawings and prints — including his etchings and monotypes currently showing at Niels Borch Jensen Gallery in Berlin — corroborate a dusty but resilient modernist dictum – it is energized scrutiny of one’s own form that brings about novel experience.

Best known for arranging blocks of thrumming color into large rectangular canvases, Whitney’s major achievement has been to spark a slow burn of surprises, within the least esoteric medium around, large-scale oil painting. He has been working in New York since the mid 1970s, when he graduated from Yale. In 2015, his works were given their due in simultaneous exhibitions at Karma in the East Village and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Gushing praise followed those shows, casting an aura of mastery over Whitney’s paintings, and conditioning future experiences of them. Berliners are offered an alternate perspective on the painter’s work with this small show of prints. Like an X-ray, the works cut through Whitney’s carefully calibrated color schemes to the dialectic of structure and improvisation that lies beneath.

Stanley Whitney, “Untitled” (2016), spit bite aquatint, soft ground etching

“Drawing,” Whitney remarked in a 2016 interview, “really is the key” to his work. This statement provides insight into the seven black and white etchings shown here. While some of these pictures are executed in thick brush strokes, others are jotted and dangled with slighter lines. The airier pictures often contain rectilinear washes, which surface under lingering attention. At first seeming repetitive, the more thickly drawn images also reveal subtle variations, in proportion to a viewer’s patience. “Untitled” (2016) and “Untitled” (2016), for example, are both lattices of thick brushwork. But while the former grid compartmentalizes many smaller skeins, the latter picture has a similar grid veiling a world of layered marks. In both, depth is opened by a range of hues, from coal black to shards of glinting white.

Whitney’s career has unquestionably been affected by race and racism. Being African American, he has been caught in an unenviable no man’s land: on one side is a systemically racist art establishment, which, when not excluding artists of color, often expects them to make work solely about their racial identity; on the other side is a radical black community with the expectation that black artists engage in social struggle with their work.

Stanley Whitney, “Untitled” (2016), spit bite aquatint, soft ground etching

Because Whitney rejected both imperatives, the connection between his work and blackness is visually indiscernible. But when he starts speaking, questions of racial and cultural identity emerge in a tangle, mirroring his own scribbled strokes. While he was once “very confused about art and race [and] how to … negotiate them,” he reminds that his ardent blocks of color were inspired by the resonant and twinkling notes of jazz.

Whitney’s identification of painting with jazz was preceded by artists like Bob Thompson, who“developed a great combination of Western painting, and color as sound stemming from … the music of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman.”

A quick glance at his vital colors reveals Thompson’s influence melded with modern and classical European art. His chromatic squares recall stained glass, as well as Hans Hoffman’s influential abstractions, and the blocky forms that Philip Guston cultivated in Rome, echoing worn stone slabs.

Stanley Whitney, “Untitled” (2016), monotype

Troublingly, interviews with Whitney suggest that he has worked in a woman-less world. In fact, his pictures resonate closely with Joan Mitchell’s floating rectangles — as in “Closed Territory” (1973) — and the acidic planes, grids, and drips of Mary Heilmann. The latter’s paintings and prints are close kin to the two color works in this show. Both monotypes, they are composed of quadrants of color wobbling between horizontal stripes. “Untitled” (2016) contains at least four reds, three blues, two yellows, as well as cotton candy pink and a brown that hovers between rust and mud. Varying in translucency, Whitney’s soft chromatic bricks glow in manifold tones. These dashed monotypes feel quick as napkin poems, but as with Heilmann’s work, Whitney’s swiftness is ordered and rehearsed.

These prints have a kind of static energy, derived from their gridded and rhizomatic compositions. From a distance, they seem like a cliche of abstraction, meshing inhuman structures with the capricious human mark. But in the right hands, commonplace forms become deceptively resonant.

Stanley Whitney, “Untitled” (2016), spit bite aquatint, soft ground etching

Whitney makes the images work by creating tension between a recurrent structure, and feverishly varied moves within it. Unapologetically, these artworks are meant to be looked at. They show Whitney unearthing difference within superficial familiarity; engaged seriously on these terms, they operate as mechanisms for seeing sight itself. As his colors shift and melt, his lined patterns divulge complex idiosyncrasies. Our eyes are in turn kept on edge, and vision remains self-reflectively alive.

Stanley Whitney continues at Niels Borch Jensen Gallery and Editions (Lindenstrasse 34, Berlin, Germany) through July 29.
