Your Chains Are Still Mine...

You will sing for me!

Trying to up the ante with this paper cut stuff. I'm getting urged to keep at it and so I shall.

The Ingénue

A concept... er... thing for my Phantom picture book, based on the original Leroux novel.

It's Christine, in a dress inspired by Maria Bjornson's "Lost Dress"
Showing here:


Christine never wears it, but it is present in her dressing room.
It's nicknamed the "lost" dress because it is often lost in the background, hidden behind the dressing room door or in the shadows.

Sculpting!

Whatasuprise.
I'm going to attempt to be the Phantom for halloween!

Well... the ALW... version. Which is cool.

It's "hopefully" going to be awesome.

I really want to go full out and make it the most authentic costume I possibly can. This is why I covered my face in alginate, and why there is plaster of paris all over my shoe... it's because I'm dedicated...
I'm making the Phantom prosthetics from scratch, to fit my face, just so its absolutely PERFECT.
I really just need to prove to myself I'm capable of doing this and doing this well.
I want to maybe... one day...mayyybbbeee.... do this for a living.

**There will be a better photo of the sculpture soon. Mac books aren't the greatest when it comes to pictures.**
I will probably end up going more severe and theatrical with the sculpture now that I plan to be doing it in FOAM LATEX or whatever... Keep your eyes peeled for the BETTER version.

Cast in Plaster

Today I tried to make a life cast of my face.

It came out only okay... but it will serve its purpose as a prosthetic-building base.

Here are some pictures of the process!





The final, all dried and ready to be sculpted on!

I'm not gunna tell you what I'm going to be! You'll see soon enough in my next post! :)

The Fashion Institute

God, sorry guys! I've been dead for the longest time!

Here are some of the things I've been doing at FIT.
I don't have many pictures and scans, well because, that takes more effort.
I will get around to that eventually!

HOLY COW FLASH PAINTING. FIT is awesome. this guy came out of nowhere and asked me to paint with him. this is a little portion of my corner. XD Acrylic fun times.

I wonder where that painting went... XD

Mmm, in class model. four hour classes with Jane Bixby weller are always exciting. The crazy old woman loves my stuff. ( I say crazy with so much love and respect!)

thank god for picture plane.

Close up of the portrait!

Ahhh, the good stuff, to show you guys I do more then just pencils and painting.

That Mask if for my friend's halloween costume, he is going to be Leslie Vernon for Halloween.
Like I said before in a previous post, check out this move, its fantastic.

I made the mask out of plaster bandages. molded it to the wearer and then once dry, sanded the sucker down so it was smooth and fit semi- loosely on the wearer for comfortable wearing. I painted the thing in acrylics, and I am SOO in love with it. <3

Life has been alright, but cash is tight.
I need commissions and I need them asap.

Thats all for now, I promise to update frequently.

(P.s: I tried LiveJournal, and it gave me a headache....)
