Serge Seidlitz's Doodlearth @ Onedotzero Adventures In Motion
Doodlearth created by our very own Serge Seidlitz and media production studio Squint Opera is coming to onedotzero_adventures in motion this weekend.
Doodlearth is exploring the similarities in the creative process between architecture, illustration and sound. As Doodlearth travels the world it is gradually building into an ever expanding animated global city map.
Doodlearth is a collaborative live interactive illustration / art event, that brings together people from around the world who have a passion for doodling. Audiences are invited to add their interpretation of their city and environment, to create a unique animation, so that different styles of illustration appear next to each other, reflecting the multitude of ideas, lives and architectural styles in cities.
The process begins with 20 artists illustrating elements of London, which are then animated to create a unique 40-minute film, and visitors are then invited to grab a pen and illustrate what they want to add to the city.
Come and doodle! - find Doodlearth in the foyer of BFI Southbank, 14-16 November. Free of charge, pens provided, all ages welcome!

Steven Heller on Peter Grundy (AKA Grundini)
Steven Heller, a member of the Art Director Hall of Fame since 1996 and author, co-author and editor of over 200 books on design covered Grundini in his latest article for the Daily Heller. Describing Peter, Steven wrote: " [he is] an exemplar of the commedia dell’arte style of data visualization, a maestro of transforming statistics into pictorial passion plays. Icons are his meat, and they are seasoned with wit and humor, color and conviviality. They brighten up the stage, the page and the screen. They scroll with a certain rock and roll."

Lisa Sheehan / "It's a Rich Man's World"
Wired Magazine's Money 2025 money issue, aptly titled "It's a Rich Man's World," as imagined by artist Lisa Sheehan. How did she bring this piece to life? In her own words: "To make the credit card as authentic as possible I redrew the American Express pattern in Illustrator with the WIRED headline included. The card was then created in Cinema 4D and I drew the etching of Trump in photoshop. This all came together and was animated to give the feel of an apple pay screen. This was a multi disciplined approach, 2D textures drawn and then rendered in 3D." You can check out the animated piece and more of Lisa's work here.
