LLOG BLOG #14: LMI: Shake up in management! OH FUCK!

Gary Oldman

Hello!  Barry Stronglogg standing in for Matthew Logman for this week's LLOG BLOG.  Seem there are some "issues" to work out in the LMI Headquarters that we are not yet talking about.

I'm not accustomed to writing this... so let's just go to the ever-popular LMI: GARY, IN: JAM DAVIS STUDIOS and see what's up...

"Crappy Garfield #845."  oil on canvas.

Uh oh!  Looks like someone took a philosophy class or two.  Is this even finished?  (Oh, I'm guessing I'm not supposed to write critiques of our own work here.)

"Drugs are Good." Sketch book.

"Everyday.  Every fucking day."  Sketch book.

Good job, Jam!  (eyes side-to-side, sweating)

Let's move onto the LMI READERS' SEND-INS OF THE WEEK!

This one was sent in from frequent reader "Matt: Seattle"

"Frowny Frittata. it means 'worry.'"

WOW! Thanks "Matt: Seattle!"  That is very creative.  Kiwi's huh? (tie-adjust side-to-side, sweating).

Uh.  Let's do another one..

Zero percent chance.

This one was sent in from "DonnyTitLicker101: Cheyenne, Wy."  I don't really get it..?  This is a picture of an out-of-ground swimming pool on sale at a local box store with a picture of a hot couple enjoying themselves with their new out-of-ground swimming pool on the box.  What?  Am I missing something?  (brow wipe; glance over at producer that seems to say "what the fuck are you feeding me here?")

(**Enter Mitch Hedberg joke here.  RIP BTW.)

Let's try one more from frequent-reader and friend "Matt: Seattle" from the great island of Portugal:

"Don't pee at someone pooping in the pool"

Okay!  Now I'm getting the hang of this.  THAT is FUNNY!  Like farting stuff, right! (slight look of relief.)

Our next item is the... Let's pull something from the LMI VAULTS: SUPER-COOL SHIT file...

1982 Cowboy Cut-out

Okay, that one is pretty cool...?? (Another look of question at producer)

Next one is also from 1982:

"Space Camping in 1982.  Wait, maybe not... 'Rocky IV' came out in 1985.  WTF??!"

There is a slight chance that this one was drawn in 1985.  Just sayin'.

"Tin Man, 1984, probably."

Well, what's next? 

Am I doing an okay job with this?  Please write in to info@logmanindustries and let me know.

Also, I'm going to tell you to follow us on Twitter @logmanstudio and on Instagram @logmanstudios.  You should do it!  It will be fun and (gulp) I will get to keep my job.

LLOG BLOG #11: I Want to Believe: INTERVIEW W ARTIST LEHMAN BIGFOOT

Danny Glover

SPRING is in the air and LOGMAN INDUSTRIES is ALL ABOUT IT!  Let's not waste anymore time writing about LMI giving you the BEST INTERNET EXPERIENCE ON THE INTERNET and get right to the reason for this week's (late) LLOG BLOG!

LMI VISITING ARTIST INTERVIEW #3:

LEHMAN BIGFOOT.

INTERVIEW BY DENNY LOGGINS.

Lehman Bigfoot 

I travel far this week, to the Majestic Rocky Mountains in the great heaving, buckled part this vast land we call, "The West".  I have heard of an interesting new artist located near Denver CO.  His visual artwork represents only one part of his new gestalt.  The drawings produced have a voluminous feel to them, seemingly simple sketches recede in dimension, far reaching into gestural based distances of both space and mass.  This artist attempts to truly experience his subject in order to move past conventional narratives dealing with the management of "the other".  He strives instead to see his subject as himself, and by fusing the subject and observer, to create an experiential based self portrait of sorts.  He wants to depict Bigfoot, the mysterious Sasquatch, so he in turn has "become" this Bigfoot, this wild man of forest as seen in the found footage film entitled simply "The Patterson Film".

Untitled

Thank you for allowing me into your studio today Mr. Bigfoot, may I call you Lehman?  (He only stares back at me.  I decide to take a few photos while he recovers from his muted fugue.)

1. How long have you BELIEVED?

"For about One Hundred and Thirty One days," (he heavily sighs then makes a snorting noise and sinks back into his weathered studio chair.

Proper.

2. What is the difference, if any, between "Big Foot" or "Sasquatch."  Which is the proper nomenclature in your circle?

Untitled.

"They are not the same thing, because bigfoot is brown and sasquatch is black.  Everyone knows that." (He squints at me know, narrowly judging me with his focused glare.  I have to admit, the ferocity of this experience is overwhelming.)

(In answer to the second part of this question, he simply makes a low growling noise. And I quote "Rorrroawrrrorgh... ruhhhhr")

"did you do that one?!"

3. What is the primary drive behind this movement you have created?

Untitled.

Because I was looking for something.  Something that wasn't there.  Then I saw the Bigfoot show, and I did the walk, and then I WAS a bigfoot. And now I am a big...foot. (During this answer he gazes out the window, out at some place beyond the horizon, he is searching.. I think I am losing him to the forest).

"A Sunny Walk in the Park."  (Just kidding.  untitled.)

4. Besides brown, what is your favorite color?

Black. Next Question.

5. Most people have some fear of a monster like "Big Foot."  Clearly you do not.  What are you afraid of?

Black Widows and Sharks, because black windows are poisonous.  Once they bite you, you get the poison.  You get poisoned.  And every time I go to a beach I see spiky things in the water, and they are sharks.  And they want to bite you. (He stands, adjusts his hood of Bigfoot fur, and slowly stomps away at this time, giving me a kind of brief questioning sneer over his shoulder as he turns the corner.  Just like in the Patterson Film.)

That's one furry dude.  Untitled.

WOW!  Thanks to Mr. Bigfoot and Mr. Loggins for the great interview!  If you want to know more about Lehman Biogfoot's artwork, you will have to search... in the woods.  No email, no website, no Instagram, no Twitter.  NO NOTHIN!

HOWEVER, LMI is on Instagram (@logmanindustries) and on Twitter (@logmanstudios) and you should CHECK THAT SHIT OUT!

Also, running with the theme of the UNKNOWN, the MYSTERIOUS and the SCARY, the LMI ARCHIVING AND HISTORICAL PRESERVATION DEPARTMENT dug these crazy LMI pieces out of the vaults this week to share with you:

Scary Cat Log, 2015

"shit bitch."  LMI 2011  (I'm not sure where this one fits in.)

Ugly weirdo.  1999.

Another ugly weirdo.  PUNCHY.  NOW.

Well, that was RADICAL!

Do something really cool today and, as always, have a LOGGY week!*

*We have to say that.

LLOG BLOG #9: GET RAD. GET OLD: Artist Chip Baker

Golden Girls

Another week, another opportunity to KICK ASS!  YES!

LMI has had yet another productive week.  Yes, everyone came back from SPRING BREAK with a new, refreshed outlook.  Let's see what the LMI Creative Research & Development Division has been up to this week...

Lurk.  Interesting direction...

Boom.  Indeed.

Okay, enough of that for now.  We cant give EVERYTHING AWAY!

Let's get right to the reason for the post this week.. but first, know that LMI is still dedicated to providing the BEST INTERNET EXPERIENCE ON THE INTERNET!

We heard you loud and clear... let's abbreviate this thing!

So, without further delay, here is your LMI VISITING ARTIST INTERVIEW OF THE...WEEK.

LMI:VAI: CHIP BAKER.

Chip Baker in studio.  Photo by Lilly Everett.  Check it out lillywarner.com

 I’ve known Chip, (AKA: “the Wizard,”) for about 15 years.  He is the most productive visual artist that I personally know.  He produces work like his life depends on it, and yet approaches new ideas with the unburdened, cool recklessness of a 15-year-old.  His aesthetic ranges from loose and playful to stark, detailed and almost neurotically patterned.  His subject matter is varied… Otters, knights, Ferrari symbols, abstractions… It's a continuing journey for both the artist and the viewer.  Good work, Chip.  (Smiley face, thumbs up).

  -Matthew Logman, CEO & CD LMI Intl, Lcd.

The following are highlights from the 30 minute interview with LMI Creative Investigative Reporter Denny Loggins in his Seattle studio earlier this spring.

DL forgot to get titles for these.

"I started on empty beer boxes... in college.  Cheap acrylic paint... no real direction.  We had a bunch of empty white walls and I couldn't afford to buy art... so I just made art for the walls." -CB

Detail of another knight piece.

"In the '90s, art didn't look too intimidating.  I figured, 'I can do that!'  I'll never be a Realist painter." -CB

Motorcycle Chick!  Rad!

"Process and materials?  Basically, I think of an idea and it's already done once it's in my mind. I don't let materials dictate subject matter or vise-versa." -CB

#Logmanapproved 2 tha MAX!

"If it was up to me, I would start (art-making) with a cup of coffee at 9am, but the reality is I'm usually starting at 9pm."

Old Dog Skates: the newest design! Awesome!

Old Dog Skates: "GET RAD.  GET OLD."

"I'm very business-like (in the studio)...Generally I work efficiently, otherwise I will lose interest." -CB

"I'm always drawing.  (the art) all starts from my sketchbooks.  Then, when I go in the studio, I weed through the sketches and find the right idea to execute."

Thanks Chip and Denny!  That was a great experience. 

If you want to check out more of Chip's art, please go to http://driftonin.tumblr.com/

That should be that, but it's NOT!  Here are the LMI reader send-ins of the week:

Sent from Charles in Australia.

Wow!  That went quick!  I already miss you guys!

Here's your parting SNEAK PEAK FROM THE LMI CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT DEPT!  Thanks for liking us on Instagram @logmanindustries.com and have a LOGGY week! *

A fucking mess.

LLOG BLOG #8: Spring Break = Jack Shit.

Danny Bonaduce

BLLOGing is our business and BUSINESS IS GOOD! 

Speaking of business, the LMI Merchandising Design Dept has been very busy this week and we are hoping to send Tshirts in for printing by the end of the month.  However, LMI sent in a team of investigators to see how progress is going.  Let's see what they found:

OOPS.  This one didn't make the cut.

The "Edit" button wouldn't work on this one.  Thanks Squarespace.

I think the "edit" button isn't working because our fucking internet is really really shitty.  Thanks Centurylink.  It's probably Centurylink's fault that this LLOG BLLOG is not working out.

We are probably going to go with the last one.  Please feel free to send in your own designs to info@logmanindustries.com ! 

Anyway, let's shift gears and check out what the LMI DANGER AWARENESS AND SAFETY DEPT has been working on...

Yeah, that's dangerous.

Saws are dangerous for logs, but not for humans.  Wait, actually they are dangerous for humans, too.

For more safety tips, go to   http://www.safety.com/users/mr-safe-t
You should find everything you need there.

Check out the sign for this restaurant...

Wow.  Lunch is on you.

There are a few more things we need to get here this week.  Per LMI reader request, here is your...

LMI Art Book of the Week!

Ugly.  So ugly.

And, as usual, and back by popular demand, we need to do the...

LMI Cat Art of the Week

Run D.M.Cat. 

Hit it, RUN!

Next week, LMI will be featuring LMI Visiting Artist CHIP BAKER!  You will not want to miss that one (though you probably could've missed this one!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARDYFUCKINGHARHAR)

The LMI Art Design and Production Dept has been away on spring break this week (which is paid time off by LMI.  These peop's have it GOOD!), so here are some designs in the works from the LMIAD&PD sketchbook...

"Close quarters."  or, "Log Jam."

Pretty solid work.  What else?

Let 4ever Be, brother! 

Sounds good to me! 

HEY!  Check us out on TWITTER @logmanstudio and on INSTAGRAM at logmanindustries and then get your checkbooks ready!  LMI starts selling shit in MAY!  Birthdays, holidays, days, events, whatever... bring a LOGMAN PRIZE for your people and you will be a SUPERSTAR!

In other news, what's up with this garage?

The Red Geometric Eye SEES ALL!

That's it.  Have a LOGGY week!*

*We have to say that.

LLOG BLOG#7: Logging Out with Artist Scott Loke Grigg! YES!

Ozzy Osbourne

WHAM!  LMI has had another busy week and we are EXCITED!  This week we begin our LMI VISITING ARTIST SERIES!  We start the series with super-artist and long time friend to LMI, Scott Loke Grigg!  First, look at this!...

#bestgrocerystoreEVER?

Anyway, our LMI News and Interview Editing Department Is very new, so bear with us this week.  This interview is longer than expected, but very interesting.  ("oh geeze, snooze fest," you say.)  No, no, no, no!  Though interview specialist DENNY LOGGINS went deep, LMI knows how to entertain!  Throughout the interview we will...

...Make the important parts bigger, and...

...add in little plenty of art and bits like this:

LMI artist Matt E. did this mosaic in 1995 for an assignment in Gothic Art History.  He called it "Ozaic."  Very clever.  He later punched himself in the face for that title. (digital pic of a crappy photo print)

Okay?  You are going to make it through this.  Let's begin:

LMI Presents:

Visiting Artist Interview #1: Scott Loke Grigg

Intro by Matthew “E1” Logman.

Interview by Denny Loggins.  Notes from recording 3.13.16

Scott Loke Grigg in studio.

Intro: Scotty is an art scientist… or perhaps more accurately, a contemporary art alchemist.  His works are visual historic records of a process of purifying the subject matter.  The attention to detail is razor sharp (indeed, he uses razors to create some of the art). Every square inch of the work’s surface is broken down atomically, analyzed, sketched, analyzed, erased, re-sketched… over and over, until it has reached perfection.  Only then is it etched in place, frozen with an inking/coloring process… again, with mechanical micro-precision. The result is a visual puzzle of magical figures, dancing in a jewel-like atmospheres, each offering years of optical exploration for viewers of every sort.  “What is the story here?” Scotty is passionately dedicated to his subject matter.  Even the most whimsical-looking figure in his work hides a dark secret, searching desperately to give the viewer the key to unlock the message… the TRUTH that lies under all of the dancing eye candy. 

Today the LMI Creative Investigations Department reporter, Denny Loggins, will attempt to break some of the code and catch a glimpse into the mechanical room that is Scott Grigg’s brain.

-Matthew Logman, Art Director and CEO, Logman Industries Ltd.

Bulletin board

SG: Geez.  I’m glad you added that last part about “Scott Grigg’s brain…” I got lost half way through that.

DL: Yes… that was deep.  But, if you don’t mind, let’s get right into this. 

SG: No problem.

Detail of "Merica"

DL: Let’s talk about process…can you walk me through the process of creating a piece like… well… this one?  (pointing at a hanging painting.)

SG: Well… it’s a lot of iteration.  Sketching, throwing it out on a board… you saw the board in the studio… just thinking about and reacting to things I’m passionate about, then try to get the ideas represented up there.  Little images… a collage in the beginning… then a process of filtering images in and out.  The more important an image becomes, the bigger and clearer it gets. The lesser get smaller or disappear.  It’s a reaction to research… a lot of news and surrounding. Life evolves and the initial concept is rarely the final product.  You know… there are a lot of initial impressions… they evolve into other impressions that...

solidify or devolve into something else.

Sketches of not logs.

I would like to say that I know the focus of everything I start… but… just for example… my notebooks are a bunch of scribbles. Through dazing in and out of them and thinking about them… I wake up at night and think about stuff or on my way to work… or in the kitchen… or in the bathroom, I think about stuff.  I keep notes as I go… a cheat sheet on my phone. notes, photos, links..

The works are a product of things happening.  And events and reactions… there’s so much in the world today that is fucked up… I wish I could do something about it… but I can’t directly. Art is a therapy to get it out, and hopefully help in some way, getting people thinking and talking constructively about serious issues.  I’m not put together enough to say anything completely coherent about the political or social atmosphere… My art is simply a gut reaction to life around me.  That sounded weird, but..

DL: No, not at all. Let’s move on to question #2: subject matter…

no logs, what’s the story there?

Scott doesn't have any art like this log with a wig.

...Nor does Scott do little snazzy puppies like this Taco Cowboy.

SG: We could work some logs in there… you have a piece with wood in it at your house!  I think it’s a crate… or something.

DL: I’m Denny Loggins the reporter and I’ve never met you before.  How could you know if I have a piece of yours at my house?

SG: Oh yeah.

DL: So… politics and social commentary… clearly a theme throughout your work…

Graphite drawing on a flat-paneled door.

SG: I didn’t say that.

Close detail of a larger political piece... still in the works.

DL: Excellent.  Let’s go onto #3… besides art classes, what were some of your favorite subjects to study in school?

(Blah, blah, blah... The next part is a little long-winded, so let's just skip to the end.  I will add in the highlights and more art!)

"Beautiful"

SG: Um.  This is on the record?

DL: (I look around the room and behind me) Uh… Yeah.

"Impunity"

SG: Juxtapoz (http://www.juxtapoz.com/), Fantagraphics (http://www.fantagraphics.com/) and the internet ( www.*enteranythinghere.com )… social media...

...It blows your mind! 

It’s crowd sourcing for art.  It comes from everywhere.

(skip, skip, skip...)

DL: Excellent.  Last question…only if you feel comfortable talking about it… In your early teens you were medicated for an attention deficit or similar condition.  Do you care to talk about that and how it affects your art?

Studio props

SG:  Yeah, absolutely… that’s a good angle to discuss. I think it’s been with me all of my life.  I’ve just had a lot of energy as long as I can remember, and I didn’t work well with taking drugs to counteract the extra energy. I have used sports as an outlet, but I found that art was a great outlet too. I found that the best way to directly face whatever it is that I’m having trouble focusing on, is to just dig in and grind it into a pulp… research, focus, and understanding, make it no longer daunting.  It’s my mantra to address it.  

Art is the best therapy.

There are many ways to alter your mind and see things from another perspective. Understanding them through leading yourself through the exercises.  Reading enough and educating yourself enough… whatever media you can get to… don’t take mainstream media as gospel!  Explore alternative sources of information.  

DL: Thanks Scott.  We appreciate your time to speak with us today.  Keep up the good work and, as always, have a LOGGY day.  ...I am required to say that.

The END.

Thanks to Scott and Denny for the great interview.  And thank YOU, readers, for sticking with us to the end.  Please let us know how we did this week and leave a COMMENT! 

Scott Loke Grigg doesn't have a website, nor does he prefer to be liked or followed on any social media platform.  HOWEVER...follow LOGMANINDUSTRIES on Instagram and @logmanstudio on Twitter. 

Here's one more for the road...sneak peak into the LMI R&D Studios from this week...

Are you as psyched as our greeting card department?

Oh, okay... one more sneaker from this week...

Kick ASS!

That's all folks!  LITTLE SNAZZY PUPPIES to you and, as always, Have a LOGGY week!  (We have to say that.)
