Take it oooooooff

Oranje went well, everyone! Thanks to all who came out. I now know what kind of directions to go in from here. They are directions I am very excited about.







These paintings were the hit of the party, for sure. I am hoping to do more of them! With all the digital stuff, which I love too, I sometimes pine for getting my hands dirty. What better way to get dirty than to get ink all over everything in my house?
Kind of glad my cat is black because of that.

There will be more like this in the future, for sure!

Posession

Trying to play around with bodies again. Naked and semi naked people are tons of fun.


In the mean time it's getting cold out. I have the windows open and I'm warming my feet with the brick of my computer charger. Winter, I am ready to take you on.

The "will fuck anything" genes

I just watched Secret of Kells and juuuuust about pooped myself. The shapes, you people, fucking amazing.

I worked in an Irish import store for a few years in High School, admittedly I read every book we had in there. I probably shouldn't have, sorry all you people who bought books from there. My grubby hands were all-up-ons. I read a lot about the Viking invasions, the Book of Kells, crazy-go-nuts stories about woods people, etc. Lots of fun, so I really, really dug this movie. I have no idea who I want to win best animated feature this year, can't we just let all of them share?

I really want a Bounty bar now. That job was amazing for all the reading time and free imported candy. hoooooo-boy. Sadly I am not Irish enough to say I'm Irish. I'm not anything enough to claim being anything. I'm half sure my ancestors just stood in the streets and held a sign that said "will fuck anything" and that's where I get my genes.

Kinda proud of that.

Here, have a bunch of skulls. They'll be played with in the future, I promise.

Oh, sorry I kept you waiting

So I'm sometimes a terrible friend. Not only do I have my best friend's belated birthday gift from last week, I also still have her christmas gift and a gift I got her to make up for the ticket she bought me for the Andrew Bird concert in September. Sep-fucking-tember, you guys. I have the best intentions, but the post office is so far away. Like way down the street and around the corner.

So I made Mao a momento mori style belated birthday image that I'll slap on a card for her. I also figured I'd show what my drawings sometimes look like.

Here's how it looks like at first, I like drawing in color pencils, I just dig the way they feel and I start with a light color for sketchy lines and work my way into a more finished drawing with darker colors.



Honestly that is a more finished drawing than I've been doing lately, haha. I'm kind of sloppy and all over the place when it's just something for me and nobody else sees the process. I also haven't scanned since May. I should probably start doing that instead of photoboothing because I'm lazy and generally do all my work from 1am and later. The scanner the house is in a bedroom, not so useful at 1am.



There is the finished. I rushed it and didn't take a huge amount of time, but it's cool seeing as it's only going to be a small thing as a joke.

That millipede is freaking adorable.

Bone Daddy

While doing research for this I came to the conclusion that If I were to marry an inanimate object to make many non-babies, it would probably be a 1952 olive-gold Gibson Les Paul. Either that or a suhweet Velvet Elvis painting.
