CATHARSIS

*exhales* whoooo.....guys keep complaining that they don't understand women. Fuck, sometimes we don't even get ourselves. Thankfully, a friend of mine gave me some good tips on how to get in touch with your inner self through art (something I've always had trouble with). So, I decided to just....let it flow. Just paint whatever I felt like as it came to me. I guess my favorite (and most duh) part of his advice was to leave it unfinished. So....the second I'd start getting bored with it, I'd just stop. Pencils down.


Not really one to hold secrets...aaaaannnnd.....I want/need to get back on this blog for srs...so....here it is?

ZOMBIES AND A PROBLEM WITH HEADS

On Friday I sculpted a zombie head based on a zombie sketch I did. 

 

I think I'm O.K. with his eyes being a touch crooked....

I also sculpted a horse head today. I need to sculpt *SOMETHING*, and what started out as a human head, ended up being a horse head. 

I realized that as an artist....I sculpt and own sculpts of plenty of heads. I think its safe to say that I have sculpted/own about...*counts*....13. This doesn't count the ones that actually have bodies. I don't know if its because heads are so easy to sculpt and cheaper to buy, or because they are more expressive, but I have too many of them. And all of them are incomplete. Most of them are too big for me to make bodies for. Materials are costly and the process becomes more tedious than enjoyable.

SANDY FISHNETS MUSIC VIDEO COMPLETE!

THE SANDY FISHNETS MUSIC VIDEO IS COMPLETE!


We had a LOVELY premiere screening at philadelphia's the Fire and enjoyed a fantastic performance from the one and only Jason Webley.  The music video will premiere publicly soon, and I will post it up here and show you all!

In the meantime, I will tease you all with this segment:

REVISION: I had to take the video down because for some reason whenever I post something from video with sound, it plays automatically and I cannot for the life of me figure out a way for it to stop doing that!


And while you're at it, you might as well enjoy "Hocky Star"

My hair is very very long hair
Its short and long,
Long long short and long!

Published Ad!

The ads I've been working on for my boss are being put in print! Yay excitement!

 

AUGENBLICK

Hey! I don't know why I haven't posted this sooner, seeing as this is my third week...buuuut, I'm interning at Augenblick! Its a studio in Brooklyn that is responsible for Superjail (Adult Swim) and Ugly Americans (Comedy Central).

So I am literally working on the second season of Ugly Americans! Take that character animation and background design for 2 days a week every week for a full day! RAWR!

 So, now I am officially excusing myself from posting on wednesdays or thursdays, heh.

NAKED LADY CAKE IS COMPLETE

Naked lady cake was a success! I made delicious cake pops from the leftover cake and it WASN'T the disaster I thought it would be! I'm also rather proud of my amateur forays into chocolate art with little flowers. Once you figure out the consistancy of the melting chocolate and a steady hand, its rather fun!

The chrysanthemum flowers were made by cutting mini marshmallows diagonally in half and applying them on top of the still wet cake pops in 3 layers.

NAKED LADY CAKE

Concept: Naked woman has a dress made out of cake. So the more you eat...

I'm rather proud of the result. I honestly didn't think I could pull this off! I baked a chocolate cake, transfered it to a framed painting of a naked lady, used a dress stencil (based on the naked lady you see me painting right now) and a pizza cutter (MUCH BETTER THAN KNIVES!) to cut out the dress, Adriel frosted, and I decorated with white flowers. Flower smade out of melting chocolate, bought candy roses, and piped icing. Never did any of this kind of cake decorating before...

I used the rest of the cake to make cake pops. Will upload with more photos later!

BRIEF HIATUS

I haven't posted for about a week, and will probably not post again till the first. I am finishing up work on Sandy Fishnets, and can't wait to leak more juicy little tidbits as they go along.

Here are a few things that I have already finished for the project (EONS AGO):






Can't wait to show you guys the real thing when it comes up!
