It's a great occasion to see my dear London again and meet with some super-hot illustrators and street artists. If you have the chance to come I'd be delighted.<br />
In the meantime be nice to each other!<br />

That was a very interesting endeavour and I thought you guys might like to see some steps along the way. I usually try to keep reproductions of my paintings very true to the original but it's always good to try something new.<br />
<br />
So.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the beginning there was the sketch.<br />
And the sketch was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.<br />
Which looked like these two squiggles here. There were many many many more.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The lower one of the thumbnails was the one I decided to go with. From that idea I did a very rough painting that I scanned in greyscale.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see it is kind of hard to even tell what's depicted. The contrasts are poor and the texture of the paint too harsh. So I did some first corrections for that in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMEcKTu4Tt1vrUqve6c8ntWtYHSqR3W8yeCgTaVgUzMvHi29zps0x3V4d93pcmATztaB2TX_42oNieDl6tYmp1Cx-Ze3wMxJL2aBTD-Yqf6dfiXx6iNvpuFdTL1WUAfGHC3PIuiQbNcFx/s1600/painting_corrections.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXMEcKTu4Tt1vrUqve6c8ntWtYHSqR3W8yeCgTaVgUzMvHi29zps0x3V4d93pcmATztaB2TX_42oNieDl6tYmp1Cx-Ze3wMxJL2aBTD-Yqf6dfiXx6iNvpuFdTL1WUAfGHC3PIuiQbNcFx/s640/painting_corrections.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The analog painting was then used as a skeleton of sorts. All the basic things I needed to know were already defined and I could give the image its final appearance by painting over it, blending, erasing, ... All the pleasures of working digitally really. Here you see the result.<br />
<br />

This September I will be having a show in Graz at the Landhaus. A most beautiful place to exhibit some work, right at the heart of the city. Preparations are going well and I hope to see many friends and visitors there. So please do feel invited.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">How did you first get
involved with this project?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span>
<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I had been interested in
The Folio Society for years and I was quite keen to illustrate one of their
books. I was actually just working on some pieces for the ‘Brave New World’
competition when I received an E-Mail from Sheri Gee (Folio’s Art Director),
asking me whether I was interested in illustrating <i>Fear and Trembling</i>.
It was a pure coincidence but the timing was perfect to give me quite a
surprise. Obviously I said yes. Sheri had already thought about a basic concept
for the illustrations together with the editor and it sounded absolutely
fascinating.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Had you read Kierkegaard
before and what were your concerns (if any) in illustrating a work of
theological philosophy?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">No, I had not read him
before. It was a good opportunity to do so. I would not say that I was
concerned. Luckily there is this scene of the binding of Isaac which he uses a
lot in the book. That provides a very good visual theme for an illustrator to
work with.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The initial painting is
a striking image of the Voice of God, Isaac and Abraham – is this a
re-imagining of another painting or an image you created yourself? What
research did you carry out for this work and from what sources did you draw
inspiration?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I looked at classical
versions of the topic a lot. It has been done by Rembrandt, Titian, Caravaggio
and so on. My first roughs and attempts at the painting were very much inspired
by those. The classical composition and my attempts to execute the painting in
a way that hinted at old master paintings did not quite work though and it was
a difficult process getting my images to have the right feel for the book. So
in the end there was not much of my initial efforts visible in the paintings
except, perhaps, a certain sense of staged drama, which is an aspect of old
master paintings that I find very intriguing.</span><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Throughout the series
the initial painting is deconstructed until it is almost rectangular blocks of
paint. How did you decide the stages of this deconstruction? Is there a
thematic difference between each image relating directly to the text or is this
a progression?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I first started
thinking about how the images would relate to the text and to each other I
thought I would try to show the process of Abraham’s letting go of his most
treasured worldly possession, so to speak. I thought I would first make the
scene very brutal and bleak and then shift the focus from the sacrificed son to
the redeeming power of god. In the end everything would be restored in light
and glory. Conceptually that would have reflected Kierkegaard’s interpretation
really well but when I started sketching out the images I found it seemed too
calculated, too predictable. Also, each image had to be a strong image in its
own right so the series would not be too repetitive. There had to be a reason
for readers to be interested in what the next image would be like, so there had
to be room for surprise. It became clear that the series would have to be more
experimental and more fluid. Sheri was very helpful there. Working with her was
wonderful; she is so art-minded and gave very profound and inspiring feedback.
So it became an obsessive painterly treatment of the subject matter, just as
Kierkegaard’s text is an obsessive intellectual treatment of it. I painted quite
a few more pieces than those that went in the series. That way I could choose
from a broad selection and edit together a set of paintings that made an
interesting progression towards disintegration. The series now reflects a
movement away from the physical reality of the event towards a less tangible,
less dense spiritual idea.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Could you explain a
little of the process of building a series like this? Did you begin each
painting from scratch? Did you start from sketches and rough drafts before
building towards the painting or did you go straight to the canvas?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Once the overall idea was
formulated and the initial rough was confirmed it was a matter of painterly
exploration. The beautiful thing about painting the same motive many times is
that you really get to know the image. That gives you an ever greater sense of
freedom. The variations in the images came from variations in the process. I
did not do sketches for the individual pieces but rather tried to come up with
as many different ways of executing it as possible without losing the sense
that they belong to the same family. Some paintings that I was quite pleased
with did not make it into the final selection simply because they would not fit
in and break the continuity. It was a very playful and enjoyable challenge.</span><br />

<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You paint your work on a
large scale, what were your concerns about how large images would look when
reduced for a book and how did you prepare for this in the work? What special
considerations do you need to take into account when working on a book
commission?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Actually I paint on such a
scale precisely because I think the images look good when they are reduced in
size. The format allows me to be spontaneous and gestural and still achieve a
certain degree of detail in the end format. I like the textures and the
energetic strokes you get from painting in a larger format, they come out
really nice when they are printed in a book.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you could illustrate
any book which would you choose?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It would be either ‘Blood
Meridian’ by Cormac McCarthy or anything by H. P. Lovecraft.</span><br />

Go to http://paulscheruebel.com/ and check it out! The old web address (www.paulscheruebel-art.com) still works, too. It will take you to the same place. I wish you a good start into the weekend!<br />

It is a greatly fascinating book and I feel very honoured that I was allowed to illustrate it. You can (and should, really) buy it on their website. Check it out <a href="http://www.foliosociety.com/book/FTR/fear-trembling-kierkegaard" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />
I am going to post a couple of images from the book but I have to be careful not to give too much away. Working on the book was a brilliant experience and a very exciting challenge. My thanks to Art Director Sheri Gee and the whole team! The image below is the first illustration in the book. I hope it will make you want to see more.<br />
Yours sincerely<br />

It has a sad ending as you may be able to tell. Please feel free to interpret it otherwise if you are not a big fan of sad endings.<br />

Then there is need for something to paint on. In this case, cardboard that I primed black.<br />

Here are a few quick homemade shots from the hip of a CD cover I've recently done for a band called 'A Gentle Conversation'. It was, as always, the most pleasant thing to work with musicians. It always allows for quite a lot of artistic freedom and the Gentlemen in question are rather pleasant company, as the name suggests. I might try to get some better pics done soon. <br />
It is quite a shame that so few full-size vinyl records are done today (or, at least, I don't get to design them too often) as the format of a CD, nice as it is, is just a bit small. Still, several pages of room for drawing is nothing to compain about.<br />

They are easily recognisable and therefore allow for a lot of freedom because you already know what you are looking at. An image of something well known doesn't need much explanation. That painterly freedom is something very inspiring to me. So today I thought I'd go with the Madonna and the Child. Twice!<br />
The first one is called "Black Forest Madonna" ("Muttergottes Schwarzwälder Kirsch").<br />
<br />
