Flickr Account, Moleskine Drawings

If you guys forgot, I have a Flickr account, which I probably update more than this. Also on Flickr you don't get (as much of) my rambling commentary. Anyway, here's some new Moleskine drawings. Mostly made of more embryos with beehive hairdos.





That last drawing is going to be a painting eventually. It's "boris with Phoebe".

New Pen Drawings

From the 'ol Moleskine. I hadn't drawn anything in it since March-ish when Steve drew a creepy janitor in it, haha.

There's a few others before these, but they're sketches for larger ideas so I didn't scan them.





The last two sketches are some fetus/embryo/baby/fish things. I drew my first ones early January and then forgot about them until today. Ironic I drew them again 9 months later. One just has big hair, and the other has some kind of important-looking hat. Maybe it's Nefertiti as a fetus. I like them.

New Head

A sneak peek at something I'm working on... It's a little further along that these pictures show- I haven't taken a photo recently. Will be going on my wall eventually (along with FlowerFace).

Using a new kind of clay- Critter Clay. Working well so far, hopefully it will continue to do so.





I'm going to disappear into a Broken Steel-induced hole starting Thursday, since that's when it comes out (PS3 fail, all the other systems have had it forever) and I've been waiting to finish my Fallout3 game. But when I finish this bad boy I'll post pictures.

"boris"

Much of my time over the last month has been occupied by a little game called Fallout 3. Yes, I know I'm a year late.

Anyway, I watched my brother play this game, and I tried it and decided to start my own game. I didn't want to make my character look like me, because that's boring. So I made the creepiest person I could. Enter boris. I forgot to capitalize his name when I first made him, so I just leave it lowercase.

I dragged all the bars to adjust the facial features either all the way to the left or all the way to the right, so I could make the most ridiculous looking person possible. For example, making the eyes huge and spacing them apart way too much. And giving him a mustache. And making him balding. And giving him angry eyebrows. And a "Shady Hat". He's also a cannibal, but Charon and Dogmeat don't judge him for it.

In the game he has square-ish glasses, since I can't seem to find old man rapist glasses anywhere in the Capital Wasteland. But that's where I used my art skill to change something.

Anyway, I don't know if I made it "creepy" enough, although I might introduce him regularly into my paintings, he's weird looking, which is good from a drawing perspective.

Note- the photos are a bit too light on the edges, since it was really bright in the room I took them.

Some Olds

A few older artworks that I thought I'd post, since I haven't had access to a scanner lately and haven't posted anything in a while. I am working on new artwork, but at the moment my scanner/printer is in a corner somewhere since I just re-painted and re-arranged my room. So here...






I'm also working on another "head" sculpture similar to the others I have posted, although I've hit a lazy streak lately and am distracted by Fallout 3 and working on other paintings.

A Jackalope

Something I finished today. I had started this a few weeks ago, but was busy on the FlowerFace one so I didn't work on it much. A neon pink Jackalope. Made with: Foam rabbit wall mount, faux fur, wire, painted glass eyes, fluorescent pink paint pen, scissors, and a glue gun. To get an idea of the process, see the "Neon Orange Rabbit" post from earlier.

Childhood Drawings

Recently I've been cleaning out my room, aiming to rearrange it and get rid of a lot of stuff. I got rid of every sketchbook I've ever kept that dated earlier than 2005-ish. I'm very unsentimental about all of it, because it really doesn't matter, so I might as well recycle them. Anyway, I found a few interesting things in the process. From a folder of really old stuff I drew... I don't know the exact dates, since I didn't start putting dates on my artwork until I was about 13. But they're obviously from when I was under 10 years old, most likely around 5 or 6. So, here are a select few.

This set of 3 drawings has got to be my favorite find. I find these childhood drawings hilarious, I don't know why. They were in a notebook that was zebra head-shaped (seriously!) and they were annoying to scan. I haven't recycled these yet. I kind of like them. I don't know what I'd do with them, though.

These drawings are of something that I called a "Youmpa". They look similar to Chuppy- probably from the same time period. The one that doesn't say "Baby Youmpa" was actually a cutout that was drawn on both sides. I used to make a lot of cutout creatures like that. The folder said "PUPPETS".

This explains itself. Good thinking, bird-thing!

This drawing is of a cockatiel that I had, named Polly. It's obviously her going to space, what bird doesn't do that? (PS there is a drawing on the other side, of the same thing, you can see through it a little.)

This picture, unlike the others, is from around 2005. An early development of a creature I now draw quite often. It was a doodle on one of my Spanish class assignments or notes... I don't know what it says anymore, my brain has deleted all of that knowledge (not like I ever actually learned Spanish in that class).
