| Jean-Francois Kelahear, artist/ storyboard artist Pointe-Claire (Quebec) http://www.panaroid.com "I may indeed be a record holder for confined studio space. I had a home studio that we brought back to its bedroom function for my younger son a couple of years back. So I moved to this space; an old breakfast nook area off the kitchen and I like it! I wallpapered the walls 70 some odd sq feet with old LIFE magazine ad and cover pages to inspire and I still get a chuckle from looking up above my computer..."  "I have been working on my Imac G5 since 2004 and it is nearly faultless... I work on a wacom tablet from scratch I dont own a scanner. I need very little space since all I used to need before is neatly set away on the machine. I use a printer's glove to draw on my graphic tablet because the plastic is slippery."  I made a horse out of corrugated card one day and it was a nice quick job.  I have a small can collection which is funky and eerily related by the colour scheme, namely red!  "I have graduated to a high back chair which takes up more space but is a lot better than the IKEA piece of *&?$# I used to have which wrecked my back. I use an old table for my desk with a baked enamel top. I listen to a lot of streaming radio, mainly Radio-France, France-Culture and KCRW Los Angeles while I work. I listen to some Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, Joni Mitchell, Cat Power, Stereolab..."  "My Ipod is used for storing my filmclips and I also use a Griffin italk mike to record briefs when I go to meet with a director for storyboard roughs. I then load the audio file on the mac and listen to the conversation to fill in the missing bits when the sketches aren't fully understood. And it is the best tool for a lunatic like me." "Hope that does it and I wish all my colleagues well on their artistic paths!" - JFK |
