spending a couple days in the studio this week has refreshed my soul. even though i didn’t really make any art on one of those days, i was able to putz around and feel that creative movement is steadily chugging along. it’s really about the little movements towards making work that eventually end up with work getting made. huh? well … you know what i mean. just something everyday eventually gets a big pile of art made. i have a few drawings done and some canvas on the wall in the studio with a first pass of mars black … where it’s going? not effing clue

ink, graphite, acrylic and oil stick on paper

yes. it’s a lot more energy consuming than i thought. while i’ve been going to my new studio digs, getting in a groove is proving to be a wee bit tricky. not that i’d imagined it to be a seamlessly scripted tv show kinda event. y’know what i mean … show opens, something happens and by the 22nd minute (excluding commercial breaks) everything is resolved and folks live happily ever after. not so fast little girl….

what i have been consistiently doing is taking pictures with my phone, then over-proceesing the shit out of them and having some fun. it’s my one consistent attempt at staying in the game. the camera phone has proven to be a worthy sketching device. a handy tool to use when all you wanna do is keep your head in your art. i’ve even found a few worthy of printing and sharing.

so, let me start again… good day fair folk. here are some pics i made while waiting for the other artist side of me to get her studio shit together .

My pal Mark and I had fun doodling on the sidewalk at the third Great HolyokeBlock Party in Heritage Park last weekend. We brought a couple of boxes of chalk and with very little urging, convinced a bunch of kids to help us cover the concrete. More pics after the jump! Read more »

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Not An Octoanything

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, sidewalk, stephg on June 19, 2011 by ssstephg

I started out with the intent of filling a Tumblr request for an octopus attacking a boat. Problem was, it was way too hot for eight legs that day. I quit after three legs and no boat. Then later when it cooled off a bit, I came back and finished up what I could before it got too dark to see. I’ll have to give this one another shot soon.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Incorporeal Patterns

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, KPAO!, sidewalk, stephg on April 24, 2011 by ssstephg

We brought sidewalk chalk over to the park the other day and made a big collaborative drawing. We traced our bodies in overlapping positions and then filled in the shapes with various patterns. The kids loved that it looked like a crime scene to begin with. There were at least nine body outlines. The drawing ended up being lots of fun and pretty cool to look at. Two more pics after the jump!

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles Return From The Abyss

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, markb, sidewalk, stephg, WABU on April 3, 2011 by ssstephg

by Bodart

It’s SPRING!!! That didn’t prevent it from snowing here Friday though, Friday… which was April Fool’s Day. Mother Nature is a practical joker. Although I didn’t appreciate the cold wet slush, I admit that given the power of climate control, I’d have done the same. Still, earlier in the week it was nice enough for sidewalk doodling so that’s what we did.

“November Is A Nice Day For Ice Cream”
by StephG

It’s been a while since I posted a sidewalk doodle. I’ve been busy with things and stuff and haven’t felt much like drawing on the walk. But the other morning the urge hit me. The concrete was wet and the sky was grey and misty. Perfect? Well no, but whatever. I felt like it.

Happy Sunday!

It’s a Wave! It’s a Snail Shell! Nah It’s a Leaf and I’m Just Screwing Around.

This is a little digital sketch I made by screwing around in Photoshop with a scan of a pretty autumn leaf. It ain’t Hokusai but whatever. I think it’s kinda pretty. I think YOU”RE kinda pretty!

That’s all I have to say.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles in Northampton: Upcoming Chalk Art Festival

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, festival, Northampton, sidewalk, Stephanie Gerolimatos, stephg on August 29, 2010 by ssstephg

Northampton, Massachusetts is holding a chalk art festival. And I’m in it! You should come if you’re anywhere near Western Massachusetts on Friday September 10. I’ll be drawing in downtown Northampton along with five other artists. We each get a 5 x 5 foot concrete square to adorn. The chalk art festival is being presented as part of Northampton’s monthly Arts Night Out.

I know I’ve been lax with the Sunday Sidewalk Doodles lately. See, even the drawing above isn’t a finished piece. Apologies, but oh gee I’ve been super busy, first with KPAO! and now getting everything ready for a solo show in October at The Northampton Center for the Arts. Yay! Linklinklink come see my art in the flesh! All good stuff so I’m not complaining, just letting you know why and promoting my art in the process.

Biglove,
-Steph<3

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Buzz Melvin, Peter Pan & Daffy Duck

Posted in Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, daffy duck, doodle, Drawing, i love the melvins, peter pan, sidewalk, stephg, the melvins on July 4, 2010 by ssstephg

I’ve mentioned the whole KPAO! thing here before. This week’s sidewalk doodle comes courtesy of a KPAO! outing in the park where our August fete is to be held. We normally draw on the sidewalk outside mi casa, but for a change, one evening early this week, the posse sauntered over to Kennedy Park and covered the concrete with chalk. This one was a collaboration between myself, Bodart and our friend Ida. Daffy in the upper right was drawn by Sir Edwin.

Oh yeah, did you hear? The Melvins finally hit the charts! I love The Melvins.

It really should have had horns. The rain came too soon this time.

I drew it and, with minor prodding, my pal Josh composed the verse.

big flaming hearts,

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: We Heart Concrete and Chalk!

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, Mr. Brown, sidewalk, stephg, WABU on May 23, 2010 by ssstephg

Lately, I’ve been a little lax about posting our weekly sidewalk drawings here. Sorry. Today, I’ve got three from the last few days to show you: one seriously ambitious drawing by WABU, one with an unexpectedly sweet message by Mr Brown–ages 15 and 13 respectively–and one by me. Everyone who has happened past has been impressed.

by WABU
I should probably try to get a shot of the whole sidewalk to give a sense of scale. This first drawing by WABU fills an entire sidewalk section crack to crack and grass to grass!
