Krampus W.I.P

2011-11-28T19:04:00.004-08:00

Started it last year, and now I'm trying to get it done in time for the 5th of December a.k.a the day before my Berth Day.

What is a Krampus?

Krampus is a mythical creature recognized in Alpine countries. According to legend, Krampus accompanies St. Nicholas during the Christmas season, warning and punishing bad children, in contrast to St. Nicholas, who gives gifts to good children.

In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by a demon-like creature. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in Austria and southern Bavaria, especially the market town Berchtesgaden, during the first two weeks of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December, and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells.

In the aftermath of the Austrian Civil War the Krampus tradition was a target of the Dollfuss regime.

So this dailybooth thing is my new fascination, witch is odd because when I'm off it I feel like I just wasted so much time but if there's one thing I know I'm there because of the beautiful and unique women and Speaking of.. I was floored by this lovely creature Rhiannon

MY GOD HOW DO I LOVE NATURAL BEAUTY and with dailybooth being a sea of goopy makeup an silly emo hair she was all that and then some, Smart witty, creative and she said she was a barefooter but I can't tell hopfully her feet shows up more in her future photo's lol.

Still this was fun to do everything flowed out like I was drawing it with my eye's closed, all an all I guess this new year is starting on a up... sorta.

Last Stuff of 09 -p3

2009-12-30T21:40:00.000-08:00

So I'm trying to explore new social networking sites in order to get my work more known, I have no use for twitter but I did find something like it called dailybooth.

"DailyBooth is a photoblogging website designed for users to take a photo of themselves every day with a caption." - wiki

So that's explains it all, I'm not going to bull shit you, I have never seen SO much narcissism and BIG silly Emo hair in all my life, it's like someone said..

"Hay! Lets make a webpage so sexually repressed girls can lust after 1.androgynous 2.anorexic 3.twinks with 4.BIG old lady hair."

On the other hand there is some artistic photography there as well and it seems to be a sight for photo reference for drawings, not to mention there are some good illustrator and other creative people so it's a glass half full or half empty.

Anyway's there way this little British thing that posted this photo

My momma has guests coming... do I look presentable?

OH MAN! the caption she put sounds like something from a song or a movie , so I had to drawing it.

So that's about it, this is the last Wensday of 2009 and Mom's off to work tomorrow, so it's going to be a isolated reflective new years eve night, I never go out new years anyways so it's sorta a tradition now.

More to come.

Pecan PIE Recipe .. sorta.

There was this girl at Walmart getting a Pecan PIE that matched her mocha skin, she was cute and couldn't keep her shoes on but my inner fruit fly wanted to give her a more Bohemian make over, I find my self doing that allot. I'm not into the Sean/Emo or Hipster stuff but I dream of a more multicultural fashion stile sorta Pirate, Hippie, Gypsy like whats going on with the Tribal fusion Belly dancers or a modern Jack Sparrow.

more to come.

Rejected

2009-11-18T19:24:00.000-08:00

Sorry there hasn't been any updates, Being rejected from the 22th gallery show at Tate's, really killed my momentum. People keep telling me that I need to get my work out but for Miami's so called booming art seen there really isn't any place for artists that don't do bullshit conceptual art here and goin' to the Winwood art-walk this weekend once again proves that.

This time unlike the past ones I got tot talk with some really impressive painters one on one and hand out fryers for my wed galleries but I couldn't help feeling that I don't belong, walking around feel's like everything's was so pretentious and phony, I'm just a dorky comic book guy and yeah I try to give my work some point but not bash people over the head with it like that shit. ( fucking sculpture made of Legos)

Miami likes to pretend that it's as good as NY an LA but really it's so self-explanatory that there aren't more then two lowbrow/pop art like shop/art galleries to go to that features the type of art that I do, Tate's comics and Pink Ghost an both galleries are run by women who have an obvious bias to cutesy kitschy tokidoki, hello kitty art crap that I don't do. I mean it's not like I have any reservations about doing that sorta shit and I'm not as dynamic as people give me credit for but still I like to think I'm NO WHERE NEAR as one dimensional as this shit. -

So where does my work belong? Comic conventions? Well yeah but that's a once in blue moon thing, that plus I don't the money to do that sorta stuff anyways and you like save up rent a table only to have kids dressed like Naruto staring down at your work confused asking you to draw fanart for a manga character that's name you can't pronounce. [ಠ_ಠ]

Anyways so you can see why I'm a little off my game, That and as a few of you know I like working to some sorta deadline or event and so if the times up or event has passed it's hard for me to stay focused.

Sometimes I just feel's like I'm a big idea man who's plans and idea's go no where, then I think of my Dad who's life was one failed money scheme after another and now he's an old man with nothing to show from it but a life filled with bitterness, regret and envy. Man I fucking don't want to end up like that and that fear is the main reason that I nearly ended it all on the train tracks after I got kicked of art school, (so help me god I'd rather be dead then end up like him.) It doesn't help that my birthday's coming this December, So many people have done so much with their lives and I can't help feeling like I have nothing to show for mine but a stack of crumbling sculpture's and dusty sketchbooks with parents that are becoming feeble and no money to take care of them. At lest it's good to know I'm not alone feeling this way, talking to a few friends around the same age as me, maybe it's all apart of getting older, still it doesn't make things any better to feel like a failure even if your friends fail with you as well, in the end just show's that we all are just loser's.

( Doug's always such a positive guy) yeah I am but sometimes, you got to be a realest there's a fine line between seeing the glass half full and being in denial.

Anyways I'll try to post some new stuff soon, just excuse me so I can shake off the dust and if my body's a little numb form life's knock out punch.

Halloween sculpture 09

2009-10-31T10:35:00.000-07:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

I know I said I'd have this posted by 12noon but I hit a few snags.

Ok so it done! My first Halloween theme sculpture, introducing..

Scary Larry Loves Halloween.

Larry is a Ghoul but he's a teen Ghoul so he refers to himself as the crypt kid.

Originally I wanted to title it "Scary Larry Loves Halloween, because he gets to hangout with the living kids." but that was WAY to long to paint on base...so yeah.

As you can tell Larry's a little reluctant that his costumes going to work but it his little buddy with the Jack-O-Lantern head is Sammy aka Samhain the spirit of Halloween and the brains behind this ingenious disguise of a (NORMAL HUMAN CHILD!)

Sammy - "Maaaan if they dress up like you monsters guys, why can't you dress up like them? I'm telling ya it's gonna work!"

Larry- "Sigh...I feel stupid"

Sammy - "Really, Cause you look fabulous!"

Larry- "I'm wearing a sign telling them I'm normal, no ones going to believe that."

Sammy - "Humans are dumb, Now focus! It's all about the free candy."

So that's the sorta conversation going on with them, As you can imagine it's going to be a interesting night for the kid's but hopefully all turns out well.

Like I said I've been working on it most of this week when I should of been sleeping and now I most move on back to the other stuff, For more info on "Scary Larry Love's Halloween" watch the youtube clip and I explain it all.

I heard that a few people cant see the youtube vid clips I've been posting, so I posted some photo's as backup but I dropped my digital camera and now it seem's the focus isn't what it used to be.. sucks.

All right, thats it

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT and recommend my work to your friends, I want to start doing post's of sculptures that I intend to sell at some point but I need more people to subscribe first.

Thanks for reading and have fun tonight.

KEEP SCROLLING DOWN FOR MORE PHOTOS!

Art VS Aretifism 01 the Wal-art girl

2009-10-23T02:02:00.000-07:00

Ok so this is the first in a line of sexy mini pin-up posters called Art VS Aretifism that I'm working on hopefully to sell at the November 22, 2009 Small Stuff 3 tates comics bear and bird gallery show. Now lats year I submitted three pieces two that were more earth goddess like and one that was foot fetish piece 8/10 cardboard drawing seen here , well out of the 3 the FF was the only one that sold not that but sold for $30! to this lovey gentlemen here who I'm hoping to run into to that next show. Anyways like any good business man (yeah right, I give most of my work away for free) if something sells make more and that's the plan, ok So I know your saying to you self Doug we know your "foot freak"( God I hate that phrase b.t.w) so what's the big shit, all your artwork is influenced by your fetish in one way or the other and yeah that's true but in the past I've always tried to be a little subversive about it an this is the first time ever that I'm being more forward or "out" (as gays say) with the subject, even so to the point that with each piece I'll be listing my thoughts feeling to what motivated me to do each pinup at the time.

I must stress the point that unlike other foot fetish henti stuff out there, I wanted this stuff to be a bit more tasteful, so to the ordinary or vanilla viewer the blatancy of the sensuality may not be as apparent but to the eye's of the more kinky aka chocolate viewer the Sexiness of the pinup is there. Now as a friend pointed out I could just add a bit more ass an tit's to make the sexuality more universal and then increase the marketability but that would defeat the point of what I'm trying to do. See the point I'm trying to make or at least the concept is I'm showing the world from my eye's and mostly how I see the girls that catch my eye's when I'm out an about. As for now each one will be based off random girls that seem to stand out when I'm out, So far I only have one and I did do another but that was before I decided to go with only drawing anonymous girls, I'm doing so because drawing anonymous gals allows me more freedom to focus less on the accuracy of the portraiture and more of the feeling but if things get close to the deadline and I haven't done enough I may bend the rules. At some point I'd like to print one out on a t-shirt see hot it looks this is that plan one for that -

Aretifism is a sexual attraction to people who are without footwear. While such people are necessarily barefoot, wearing transparent hosiery, or wearing shoes or sandals without socks, the attraction is usually not to the foot but to its naked vulnerability.

When people ask I describe my self to be an Aretifist

getting back, so starting with Wal-art girl -

Wal-art was a cute thing I bumped into when I was in a Walmart line picking up my mom's meds, She was walking around with a friend until they parted ways so she could drop-off a prescription, Now I've said it before unlike most guys the first thing I look at is a girls outfit to sorta get a window into her personalty, then her face and then yes is she's in open shoes THEN my eye's move to her feet. For me clothing an body language is an aphrodisiac and in this case she was in a cute retro 80's pink neon T with cut denim shorts an geta style wood sandals (witch is always a plus) I tried to capture the moment when her shoe that was dangling off her foot, fell and then she uncrossed her legs to slip it back on upon when her friend walked back to tell her that she couldn't find the bird food in the pet section. Latter as I waited in the checkout line, I looked over to see them in the line next to me, so I broke out my mini sketch pad, to capture what I could, I din't put it in the pinup but I lived the way her huge tote bag seemed to way on her thin frame causing her to lean ageist any object near to her and that heaviness worked it's way down to her feet as she slipped on an off her shoes as they stood to the point that it almost seemed like a slow dance. Before I left I walked to talk to them, after commenting her I told her I was planning on drawing her because I liked her style and she had cute feet as always she said " Umm no ones ever said that they were cute before, but thanks"

Anyways so that's the back story, I should print it out and add it to the back or maybe not, so thanks for reading and I'll post the next one as soon as it done

Oh B.T.W

Seeing that I'm covering the subject of Aretifism here is a list of Paraphilia

Paraphilia In psychology and sexology, paraphilia (in Greek para παρά = besides and -philia φιλία = love) is a term that describes sexual arousal in response to sexual objects or situations which may interfere with the capacity for reciprocal affectionate sexual activity. Paraphilia may also be used to imply non-mainstream sexual practices without necessarily implying any dysfunction or moral deviance.

Definition

The word is used differently by different groups. As used in psychology or sexology, it is simply a neutral umbrella term used to cover a wide variety of atypical sexual interests.

;Clinical definition: A paraphilic interest is not normally considered clinically important by clinicians unless it is also causing suffering of some kind, or strongly inhibiting a "normal" sex life (according to the subjective standards of the culture and times).

Crappy horror movie reviews

2009-10-22T05:43:00.000-07:00

Oh before I go wile doing the Two-Face drawing I was watching the Jtv and saw two sorta new horror movies-

One Missed Call (2008)

and

The Uninvited (2009)

ok so here's my thoughts on them.

For One Missed Call: STOP MAKING MOVIES WITH KILLER GHOST KIDS >:( ..really
and I know that bad things only happen to the hottest people in horror flicks but for fuck sake, through in some average looking people and the movies would be a little more believable.

On that note, on to The Uninvited: Really?! Fuckin' Come ON, the twits endings are a little over done now. That and Emily Browning should do more period piece movies instead of this crap, She's got that classic look to her that makes me think she could pull off some fru fru costume drama shit better then horror and man would it be fun to see Jonathan Rhys Meyers or Cate Blanchett in a tuxedo grabbing her lustfully then pinning her to a wall hahaha!

Oh I know I'm contradicting my self by what I just said about hottest people in horror but Arielle Kebbel who played the trampy older sister Alex... DUDE-yeah-wow me like her.

Well she look's like Maxim fodder as an actress but she was stunning in this movie to me.

Ok so that's all, I tried not to give any spoilers but the movies suck so it wouldn't make a difference anyhow, I really just enjoy the silliness of story's with events that go wrong or that don't have happy ending and in the end that's all horror movies are, that's why you don't really have to focus on the plot because they always go the same way with things starting out good and then going to shit.

If your looking to "kill" (sorry I had to) sometime with a fun horror flick's 24/7 click the link below.

New Orobasart webpage+ new Me Flyer + Drinking and Drawin

2009-10-13T23:30:00.000-07:00

So that's my new me FLYER to advertise my work, sadly as I post this blog I still haven't posted anything up on deviantart or fixed my linkedin but I'll get to it with some help from my lovely friends. OH! speaking of lovely friends as a few of you know this weekend was the first official Miami Fl "Drinking and Drawing" and my most stunning friend Jenny few back from Gallup New Mexico for the weekend to go, I only got to see her for the Sunday night but a short time spend with people you truly love can last a life time... (sorry, yeah I get hammy sometimes but I don't know what else to say) But all an all the drink & draw was pretty cool and I'm looking froward to another one.

Also I can't even think of the words to express my unequivocal gratefulness to Melody for making me a AWESOME Wedpage for free out of the pure goodness of her heart. (There goes that hammyness again, sorry) GOD it feels SO liberating when someone asks to see more of my art work from now on I can just say -

"Oh just go to OrobasArt.com"

AAAHHHHHHHHH! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! and so easy to remember! ... GOD Mel if your reading this, I know I said it before but thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

Most of all she finished it just in time so I could make the flyers to pass out during the D&D and that was really a lifesaver and I'm really looking forward to having them with me next month when the next artwalk goes on. Wow man how could I forget to bring that up, well this weekend was my first time doing the Wynwood artwarlk, Honestly there was Some good stuff but mostly there was allot of shitty self important art that was only on display because the artists have the right connections not because of talent.

Fucking pennies glued to a mannequin... REALLY?!

What the fuck man? I'm not dissin' on it for being stupid, it's more of a fuck I wish I thought of that to get some old rich fucks money. Unlike most other geeks I know, I don't hate modern art, I'm all for it but as an artist the first thing I think of when I look at something is if I could of reproduce it (well no, every one sorta does that but you get the point.) So if that thing your looking at some paper mache doggys glued upside down selling for $800.50 and some fucktards are buying it ONLY because of the artists name, you can see why I would get a little mad.

On the other hand I was diggin' the Boho feel of the place and with all the freaks and arty people sorta felt like being in another city, Miami can be a crappy place to live sometimes with all the fake self absorbed people but every once in a wile it feels like your living in a move, I don't know if that makes any sense. Only thing that I can't help to get a little pissed off about the design district is all the fucking "urban renewal" bullshit a.k.a kick out all the poor black folks for white gay yuppies and eurotrash, it's like a big pink broom descends from the sky saying "eww look at all this muddy people, sweep sweep." what ever, fucking sucks but that's life.

Still it's had not to see the irony in it all, like at the end of the night my friend and I went to this swanky restaurant to watch her guy's band preform and the fucking restaurant was a part of converted creepy motel, I'm not kidding the place must be hunted by the Ghosts hundred dead prostitutes ... I don't to sound like I'm shitting on the place, it was awesome and really beautiful to see what was done with the it after all it's most of been threw over the years and it definitely hade character. The owners wife said that in the mornings Manatees swim up to the rail to be fed, isn't that cool? No I'm not being sarcastic, It's beautiful but that's just it, that explains it all. In the hart of a Ex seedy motel you have a hippie vegan breakfast wile feeding wild Manatees and bask in the joy of natures wonders, then look up across the canal to watch the haggard strippers and lonely guys stumble into work at the strip club just over the water but that analogy describes what Miami's all about I guess.

Getting the to the subject, I'm still new to this self promotion stuff and I've still got allot a growing to do but this weekend felt like a step in the right direction and I think the new flyers show it.

..Well sorta but yeah like I said I've got a few bugs to work out but I'm getting there.

Anyways remember to bookmark OrobasArt.com

fucking SEXY shit

2009-10-09T21:36:00.000-07:00

Today I was having breakfast wile mom was I was watching Good Morning America and there was a commercial for the clothing store Marshalls "shopportunities"and the fucking thing nearly gave me a aneurysm. It was a parody of Sienna Miller when she was going through her public barefooting faze aka the time I fell in LOVE with her hahahha.. Anyways I feels uncomfortable when my mom talks about my love for so acted like I didn't see it at all when she said "that a girl for you", I don't know why but I hate talking about anything involving women I'm attracted to with my mom, she's always had such a negative concept of sex an sexuality, that now when ever the subject pops up with company and she's anywhere near I can't even respond, witch is odd if you know how vulgar/uninhibited I am.

Getting back to the Marshalls commercial, It was about this famous trendy girl named "Sienna" that has started "barfootin" and she's giving up all her shoes, so now all the other trendy girls will do the same so with all the hip girls going barefoot, All the normal girls can buy shoes for cheep or something like that, I was running out to catch a bus at the time but I couldn't believe my eye's, I looked all over the net but I couldn't seem to find in on youtude or anywhere else so I guess it's brand new add but it's been looping in my head over an over all day like a bad song and I know it won't stop till I see it again.

Anyways this is my desktop wallpaper -

I found it on a FUCKING AWESOME Vintage BLOG ♡Lost in the 60's ♡

Business card goddess

2009-10-07T02:33:00.000-07:00

I drew this urban earth goddess to be on my business card, I did it WAY BACK when I was still in AI and found it in a old comic book I had laying around, So I decided to color it so I could one day use her on stuff like notepads and other crap.

P.S the back ground was added just for this blog not for the real drawing.

Diary of a Mad Old Man (1987) Cannon Films

2009-09-20T16:33:00.000-07:00

How did I ever miss this?! I'm SO getting it, for you that don't know my two favorite film genres are occult (Satanic sex orgy) genre films of the late 60's and early 70's and MOST OF ALL unrequited love movies or as I call um FUCKED UP LOVE MOVIES.

Movies like Lolita (1997), Gods and Monsters (1998) I just love watching love go wrong, So I don't know how I missed this one.

Diary of a Mad Old Man (1987) trailer (Cannon Films)

I can't find any info on it but it seems to be based on a Japanese book by Junichiro Tanizaki and there is a 1962 Japanese Film adaptation seen here but that's all I got so far, no IMDB links or anything as of yet. I got to admit I kinda feel weird about seeing it only because I sorta see my self ending up like this guy when I get old, god knows I'll never connect with someone my own age when I get that old that and how can I say this ... Well there nothing pleasant about old lady feet. Not to mention it's bad enough that I'm so easily manipulated, so that I can only see something like this happening to me in the future-

Oh well I guess like the movies I love I'm doomed, hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa suck.

Some pic's of stuff from last night at Jez's place

2009-09-19T17:38:00.000-07:00

Jez and Mel's birthdays had just past and I dont like to show up empty handed so I made them Horns.

I also spent the night drawing on the girls, as always.

Was a good time, awesome food as always but most of all I always feel at home. My friend Lue went for the first time and stayed all night, So he seem to enjoy him self as well, we all sat around watching the (1985) movie Legend with tom cruise and Tim Curry, making fun of the insane amount of glitter Ridley Scott used to make the movie.

Well I'm going to try and finish some stuff up to post this weekend so stay tuned.

what's all this shit, where's the fucking ART

2009-09-16T00:28:00.000-07:00

Ok sorry, I had to dork out for a bit but back to my art work, Well here are some W.I.P photo's of the SO CALLED small simple side Sculpture that I talked about on Sunday, September 13, 2009

She's still really fugly at this point so I'm not going to show much but here's the back story, She's meant to be a sorta Cult priestess, sitting on an alter or some kind of key stone to a alternate dimension with H. P. Lovecraft stile monsters rising up from the ground to defend her.

That or she's just a necromancer.. meh, I'll leave it up to the viewer when she's done.

ON with the PIC's -

Oh her lower body is wrapped in saran wrap to keep the black Sculpey3 from smudging her skin, I'll try to post the concept art for her next time.

♡♥ It's Webster DAY! ♥♡ (update)

2009-09-15T18:25:00.000-07:00

I GOT ONE!!!!! Woohooo! thanks to a little navigation of Jenny on the proses of E-shopping with out paypal but yeah WOOOHOOO!

For most of you that don't get toy collecting, this stuff isn't the same as it was years ago, there is allot of hard work that goes in to making them now, people seem to take it fore granted that someone sculpt most these, then someone else had to figure out how to make it move and shrink the organelle 12" sculpture down to 6" or 4".

When I get him in the mail, I'll do a little story about Mattel and the guys that do ALL their toy sculpting/designing and why I'm so in love with everything they do.

Man it's SO fucking hard to get these bastards in the past, they only go on sale for ONE DAY, that's it! Then they go strait to the ebay scalpers who jack em up to $40 - $50 each, I ain't got that fuckin money, that's partly why this Webstor is my first one ever buying. Things are so bad and Mattel got so many complaints that made a subscription service, where they send you the figures each month they are released-

Mattel announced via MattyCollector, their collector-focused online store, that beginning May 18th, they would be holding enrollment for a subscription service for their MattyCollector exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics toy line. Enrollment will be open for only five days, ending on May 22nd. Matty promotes the service as a benefit to collectors sick of missing out on their figures due to limited quantities. As a matter of fact, here is the entire set of rules straight from Matty:

"Well we know fans have been waiting for an update and here it the latest:

The MOTU subscription program will be available May 18th through 22nd.
You can purchase as many subscriptions as you want. Each subscription includes the Sept – Dec 2009 MOTUC figures
Convention, rerelease and repaint figures are not included simply because not all fans may want the rereleases and convention figures may change in price or release date
We will have a 2010 subscription for Jan – Dec 2010 figures in mid August with the same rules applying
Once you purchase a subscription you are locked in (i.e. no refunds)
Figures will continue to be revealed about three months ahead of time, so yes, if you buy a subscription you are agreeing to purchase which ever figure comes out that month even if not revealed yet
Options will be available to be charged and have figures ship each month, or to have all figures held, shipped and be charged at the end of the year.
Figures will also still be available to purchase each month with the standard limit of 10 (if you want more than 1 of a certain figure for example)

A few additional details will be on MattyCollector.com on the news section tomorrow and I’ll do my best to check in here often to answer any other questions!

Hope this will really help those who want a complete set!

Matty"

YEAH DUDE... I AIN'T GOT DAT MONEY! ... So this is what it has come to, folks. We are now reaching the level where we have to sign up just to have a chance to BUY toys from a toy company. I can understand to a certain extent, these aren't mass market toy store figures, they are geared towards a comparatively small demographic. But while distribution issues are a problem in places like Wal-Mart and TRU, the whole point of MattyCollector (at least, I thought) was to make the toys collectors wanted more readily available, as well as to avoid the whole scalping issue, not to require the signing up for a straight up subscription for first dibs.
They should know that anyhting from the 80's is huge right now, I cant remember the last time I went to Target and seen a kid looking at the 25th ann gi joes they oly LOVE Bakugan, It's always a grown man in the isle sorting through them...like me. Those who played with these when they were little are in their 30's now and can afford them, So why not put them these he-man figures there in large quantity.
But I got one, so I'm happy for now, next one I'm after is the revamp of Scareglow but he's not available till November 16, 2009

But hay they have yet to make any of the others that were in my army when I was a kid, so take a walk down memory lane with me and -

Starting today exclusive figure of Webstor, the next figure in Mattel's online exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics toy line becomes available for fans to purchase TODAY! at MattyCollector.com 12:00 pm EST

Man when I was a kid the original Webstor from the He-Man toy line back in the 80's was one of my favorite's.

I have so many memory's flooding my mind every time I look at this thing - playing outside in my front yard, making him climb my door. Most of all just being a kid an growing up in Cambria Heights queens New York and living in a world of my own imagination, GOD so many good times.

So yeh [ಠ_ಠ]

2009-09-13T08:52:00.001-07:00

Ok so last weekend I ran out of Super Sculpey (Polymer Clay)

That's the stuff I was using to make the kappa and most of my other stuff but wasn't able to get to the Michaels Arts & Crafts Store to pick up more, What I did have ALLOT of was left over Sculpey3-

witch is the smaller bricks of colored Sculpey. So not wanting to lose the creative momentum that came with starting this blog/project, I started a small "fast" side Sculpture, yeah just a quick one or so I thought. As some of you already know I started using colored Sculpey to make more animated looking character's, like my R,P,G Bad Folks and Cartoon styled Halloween Werewolf VS Vampire sculptures -

See the hardest part of doing sculptures for me not knowing airbrushing is painting, dry brushing and layering the paint takes centurys, using pre-colored Sculpey cuts the time but sorta looks flat after (well to me anyways) so this time I thought "why don't I do a light highlight with acrylic, to make it more lively!" .. yeah.

Here's what I found out the hard way, unlike Super Sculpey that is meant to be Gesso prime and painted, colored Sculpey a.k.a Sculpey3 will make your paint peel. After hours of work dry brushing my SO CALLED small simple side Sculpture white, I had to spend more time soaking & scrubbing it to get off all the peely paint. So your saying-

" where are the pics? I thought you made this blog to to document all the work you put in to your art."

Well when making monsters and other rough character's it's eraser to see the outcome when starting from scratch but if your trying to make a sculpture of a pretty girl, its a WAY bigger stretch of the imagination to show someone in the early stages.

Ugliness comes from making lots of wrinkles an lines in the face and creating beauty is the opposite, its harder it's about making smooth symmetric faces and bodes, but still having enough details to make it seem expressive and that's a hard thing to convey until completion or at least near completion.

In the end this was a experimental sculpture and I did come up with some interesting findings-

1. Seeing that the external acrylic paint wouldn't adhere, I relished I needed something more like dye, that meant Maker but markers look sloppy when applied strait, so I dabbed it with water collected the ink and left it to sit so the water would evaporate leaving the powdery pigment, therefor making a sorta inky water color.

2. Then I used Liquid Sculpey as a sealant.

I'll try to have some pic's up by the end out the night, once I finish up her arms.

but that's all for now.

-FIN!

Demodex folliculorum

2009-09-06T15:14:00.000-07:00

Demodex folliculorum - tiny mites, less than 0.4 mm long, that lives in your pores and hair follicles.

These parasites are found in the human hair follicles, normally found in greater numbers around the cheeks and forehead. Each follicle can have a small colony of mite (Commonly 10 mites per follicle). They do not bite but sting. However, you cannot feel it, as they are microscopic. Their food is basically sebaceous secretions and dead cells of our bodies, mainly the cytoplasm. They do not defecate on our skin, however they do reproduce on it.

I think about them sometimes when I'm feeling lonely but then I remember they are living on me and everyone else, So no matter what we always have some to talk to. Meh.. It's kinda comforting in a odd why.

Fixations, Larry Clark and Fucked up Teens

2009-08-31T18:40:00.000-07:00

After seeing this one gal during Zeldathon, I've become fixated with thin trampy girls, If you know me when it come to drawing women I tend to go threw a sorta flavor of the month thing and obsess on obscure little things like clothes, mannerisms , stereotypes.

That I'm compelled to recreated in any artistic medium I can get my hands on.

Here's a few -

A) Girls in Suspenders and cutoff shorts.

B) Chubby gal's laying on their tummy's with their feet up behind them.

C) Women with Smoking pipes

D) Girls that ship off their shoes under tables and sit hugging their knees and play with their toes at restaurants.

E) Dangling Dr Scholls

F) When a girls are chewing gum, wraps it's around their finger and pulls it.

G) 80s fitness girls. (this Video's So tacky but I can't help loving it)

H) Flat chested girls in baggy Spaghetti Strap Tank tops that keep's falling off the shoulders causing Nip SlipWardrobe Malfunctions but she really doesn't give a fuck.

I) Leg warmers and flipflops.

J) Long Mirrored Gypsy Skirts and black leather jackets

K) The clinking sound that comes from bangles when a women tucks her hair behind her ear.

L) Barefooter Redheads

M) The Amish

- Anyways you get the point.

So yeah now it's skinny tramps and I've drawn a few pin-up, one loosely based on the girl that inspired all this and another that I'm calling "babysitter cliche" that I'll post here as soon as I color it. The reason all this started is that girl almost sorta reminded me of a character you would see in Director Larry Clark's (2001) film Bully, The ONLY film that I've ever seen that portrays the aimless Suburban Youth of Broward County so accurately and is based on actual events.

The movie is based on the 1993 murder of Bobby Kent in Cooper City, a suburb west of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Specifically, Marty Puccio (Renfro), Alice Willis (Phillips), Lisa Connelly (Miner), and others are the real-life counterparts of the characters in the film. Many of the convicted teens were released after serving several years in prison; today, only three are still serving prison sentences.

It's a sleazy movie about sleazy people directed by a sleazy guy, whats not to love?

My favorite character Heather June Swallers played by Kelli Garner-

Purely of esthetics there's not much to Heather's character, her brain is a fresh piece of toast so she's pretty much just a hot zombie in shorts an barefeet but as you guessed that's what I LOVE about her. Dont get me wrong, I've known girls like her in real life and I didn't much enjoy their company or would I invite them in my house but they are fun to watch from a safe distance and recreate in my art but so far I haven't done it as well as I'd liked.

The only thing that comes close to capturing that same feeling of sexy scummyness Larry Clark brings to his films that is represented in illustrations of Ross Campbell

And recently I discoved the work of German artist Biele

So hopefully with my attempt of capturing the essence of suburban tramp will be as successful as theirs, So as soon as finish coloring first my "babysitter cliche" I'll post it here and I better work quick because I'll need to finish it before I impulsivity move on to my next fixation, God only knows what silliness that'll be.

(Fifty-Fifty Clown)

2009-08-27T22:49:00.000-07:00

So this morning My Mom woke me up to tell me S was on the phone, Mom was all happy because she thinks she had a psychic premonition that S would want to be with me again now that we broke up and she went off to make a new life in New Zealand.

I don't believe in psychic shit but I was caught off guard and slightly optimistic, so here's the run down of quick the conversation -

Me - "Haaaay, I didn't think I was going to hear from you."

Her - "Oh well I still have your T,H,X 1138 DVD, I was wondering if I could drop it off?"

Me - Yeah ok that's cool, I'm leaving in a few minutes but I'll be here for awhile, anyways so how was your trip"

Her - "It was awesome! It's really beautiful but I'm moving to Portland now."

Me- "Oh.. Wow, ok well that's cool."

Her - "Ok so I'll head over."

( hang up)

Then my Mom - "SEE! I told you she couldn't stay away."

- I didn't respond.

So I rolled out of bed an got ready, then killed sometime by listening to the Tarantino interview on NPR's show "Fresh Air", My gut felt like it was crawling with bugs, I was to nervous to eat but I played it cool. Next thing I know it's the door bell an I'm off to get it, when I opened the door she was just a nervous as I was maybe more so. It kinda made me feel better, That and she was in a rush - "I can't really stay, I've got to get to work" she said.

I was like- "Yeah I understand." Then she leaned in with her cheek for a kiss and as I put my hand on her waist, she slightly brushed it off and let it go, it was like she was saying with her body language "you can't do that but I'll let you." After that she was about to run, when my Mom started calling to her from inside the kitchen, She's not like Jen she's to polite, she had to go in side now an say Hello. Mom gave her a big hug and my one yr old smart ass cat Felidae was standing on his hind legs touching her knees meowing an begging to be pick up like a baby, it was like the warmth of my house SUCKED her in and she was trying to run out, I just stood by the door smirking at the silliness of it all. When she made her goodbyes she ran off I told her to send me photo's from her trip but really I didn't know what to say, so that was it.

Once again it's over.

Another page has turned, 9 years done with Jen and now 3 months with S , people have been calling her my rebound but I can't see it like that, it was what it was and that's more then a rebound.

But God Dam it's been so long since this all went down hill, like a month or two and she looked the same but different. She's still sooooo beautiful but just so conservatively dressed compared to when I first met her, It's obviously because of work but still, It's something that was ever present and growing from when she first graduated till now. When I first met her she was all hippied out, with wild hair and barefoot now it's UN-ripped Jeans an sneakers. Most "normal" guy's, if you ask them what they look at first on a woman they'll probably say boob's but for me it's the outfit and it's like what first attracted me to her so long ago was gone replaced by this so called adult.

But that's the root of it isn't it that's way she left me, HELL that's way Jen left me as well, because I'm mother fucking Peter Pan, I'm 31 year old who hasn't "grown up" but you know what FUCK IT! .. I'm sick of being judged and when your in a relationship that's what inevitably ends up happening, the other person needs you to pull your weight and be there equal, That's all well an fine but right now I'm a loser and I'm ok with it... sorta. I mean I'm fixing my life but at my own speed and now that I'm single I don't have to answer or feel guilt if I'm not living up to any one's standers but my own. So yeah I hang out with people younger then my self but then trying to make friends with the fucking people my age suck, all they talk about is their fucking kids and are Married or desperately trying to get married + have kids before their sperm count/ovaries frizzle up and die - Fuck that noise!

I've come to relies that I fell in love with the S that was care free living the college Dorm life but I fell out of love with the one who's facing the "Real world" the one that had to grow up and be responsible.... Or more like it, she fell out of love with me.

SO fuck it! it's over and I'm not looking for anyone else, I'm done with sex, love, all grownup bull shit, I'm free now right? "sigh"

Well I guess it's back to looking for freshmen gal's who are new to Miami, New gal's that have no friends and are in need of someone older/wiser to trust and take care them, that won't try to fuck them or fuck them over, just suck their toes once in a wile.

I seem to pay that roll better anyhow, better then boyfriend anyways.

NEW WORK Kosamebou Statue wip pic's 2

2009-08-24T04:36:00.000-07:00

Well the Kappa has new arms, fucking took me long enough.

When I started this piece WAY back in July I thought I'd be painting it by now (To think of it, back then I never thought I wouldn't be single again ether) just goes to show you never know how life's going to turn out, you can plan all you want but you never know what life's going to toss at you.

Anyways here are the second set of Work in Progress (WIP) pic's of my new Kappa Statue -

Zeldathon 09 Body art set one photo's

2009-08-23T16:33:00.000-07:00

Ok that's the first set, I'm still cleaning up the others but the way things have been going on this week it will take me sometime.

Zeldathon 09

2009-08-20T01:36:00.000-07:00

So Zeldathon 09 at the FIU college radio station is over, It Started this past Friday August 14th and ended around 5:30am Tuesday August 18 morning. They played 7 Zelda video games in a row, non-stop, while webcasting everything to raise money for the National Children's Advocacy Center, they exceed the goal of $1,501 by raising $1,530.50.

the recapped footage is in the archives replaying here

Watching my self on cam is So odd, I'm so goofy and I got to work on my giggling but it seemed that I wasn't as annoying as I saw my self, the response form the people in the ustream chat towards me was all around pleasant.

HAHA I made it a goal not to be called "the bald guy"or "the fat guy"so I painted my name on my shirt but the G in Doug was to close to my armpit so it just look like Dou.

Anyways it was good to be out of the house and not doing home repairs crap like the other past weeks, It's like I never got a break after my New Zealand break-up with S to just socialize an meet new people just to get her off my mind, So this weekend was the breath of fresh air that I REALLY needed. I met a lot of cool people but it seemed like this zeldathon was Sean's world seeing that most of the new people there were his friends, Good folks but I can see the difference between Miami and Broward County people that was always talked about by others and I miss the old days when I could travel between both world's.

I mostly hung out in the back the first few days because there was to many people in the office that's why I wasn't on cam that much at first half but I made up for it on the last night, Like last year the Zeldathon Team was made up of Pablo, Sean, Andrew (Wyzan) played but Juan (johnny midnight) stepped in after Andrew Julian announced he wouldn't be able to join in on the 90 game. Oh! and This girl from the chat last year Stephanie flew in from Boston FOR A DAY to play Ocarina of Time, she was ok but I was getting a little annoyed with her contently bring up that she was a Feminist, I was raised with Feminism and like to think of my self as a Male Feminist as well but she was ALL about labeling her self, Repeating it over and over then setting rules on what can an can't be said around her, That's SO not my stile or what I'm down with But she was Pablo's friend so I bit my tongue tried to stay out of her way and (uncharacteristically) all non-confutation about it.

On the other hand I met some awesome girl's that I wish I could hung out again with but sadly can't, Amanda and Lauren stood out among the rest, I really hit it off with them. Amanda and I had a few long intimate conversation's the second night of the games but she's doing College in northern Florida somewhere and her life's really complicated right now, She's a beautiful person so hopefully we'll stay in touch.

Lauren and I only hangout for a short wile but I felt like I new her forever, She reminded me of my old friend Ele in her openness an warmth, she seems like someone you could snuggle up with on a rainy day and watch movies with. Only problem for me is she doesn't look it but she's 16 .. well 17 starting this week, I'm ok with hanging out with under age gal's, sadly when your 31 the world isn't. As immature as I am, teen girls with old soles always seem to get me more then women my age and end up always talking to me like I'm the child. ( go figure) Well if she asked I'm open to chill, everyone knows I'm a gentlemen with only good intentions, my only vice is girly feet but from the ankles up I'm always a good boy.

On that note, fucking foot jewelry! Fucking get's me every time, Miami girls are good with flip-flop but the only time they start piling on anklets and toe rings is when they hit 50 but there's something about growing up in the white Broward world on the other hand that makes them different. What ever the reason wearing them, Tina (Sean's girlfriend) and Amanda little sister were killing me the entire time I was there. I did what ever I could not to get caught glancing over and it didn't help that Tina's feet were so perfect with her silver toe rings an her ever so pink soles Gaaah! Then Amanda's sister was something strait out of a Larry Clark fantasy with cutoff shorts, toe rings and layered anklets hahaha Dam Amanda's hot, her sis is hot hell even the pic she showed of her mom was stunning talking about good genes for what it's worth.

The highlight at the Zeldathon end was this guy who donated something like $300,30 So I was asked to make a commemorative plack, so they could send him and everyone singed it.

OH it's saying "Well done jerk." because that was Links name in the game so
every time he beat a level you would see "____ Jerk"

All an all it was fun and after what went on with that New Zealand crap it was somthing to take my mind off it all, only thing that sucked was I'm starting to feel my age a little hanging out with them but that's only because of some bullshit conversation we all had about only 30 somethings used Myspace and not Facebook. God I don't think it has anything to do with age but it is a little annoying that you aren't considered fully Human unless your on Facebook, Twitter and have a fancy Cellphone, fuck it's like NO one ever watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Oh one last thing, as always I drew on half the girls there so I'll be posting some of the body art photos here once I clean them up a little.

Whats a Kappa?

2009-08-09T18:42:00.000-07:00

If you don't know what are Kappa's

Well first off the Japanese have many facinating tales involving ghosts, demons, and nature spirits which are known as yokai (youkai). The yokai have their origins in the ancient Shinto religion, with the veneration of nature spirits and the worship of ancestors. The practice of Shinto beleifs involves ritual offerings of food at a temple or shrine to keep the spirit world appeased. Many places are sacred to the yokai and violation of these spaces can lead to misfortune or death.

KAPPA -- River Imp or Sprite
Origin = Shinto (with Chinese & Hindu Antecedents)
Kappa also called Kawatarō 河太郎
Kawako 河伯 or Kawaranbe 河ランベ
Gatarō がたろう or Enkō 猿猴
One of Many Japanese Suijin 水神 (Water Kami)

Kappa (河童?, "river-child"), alternately called Kawatarō (川太郎?, "river-boy") or Kawako (川子?, "river-child"), are legendary creatures; a type of water sprite found in Japanese folklore. In Shintō they are considered to be one of many suijin. A hair-covered variation of a Kappa is called a Hyōsube (ひょうすべ?).

Kappa are water creatures that inhabit rivers and ponds. In Japan's animist religion, Shinto, they are considered as one of many water deities. Although they are usually depicted as child sized scaly skinned and hard shelled creatures, their features often vary. They are sometimes represented with ape-like faces; at other times, they are shown as having frog or turtle-like bodies and faces. In those cases, their mouth often look like a bird's beak. Kappa's bodies are usually green, but can also be any shade between green and yellow, as well a blue. All stories agree on two points: the kappa smell like fish and they have a small round depression that contains water on the top of their heads. This hollow space is usually surrounded by long hair. Some say they can change color like the chameleon. They abhor metal objects and loud noises (cannon fire, gunfire, etc.).

The defining characteristic of the Kappa is the hollow cavity atop its head. This saucer-like depression holds a strength-giving fluid. Should you chance upon the quarrelsome Kappa, please remember to bow deeply. If the courteous Kappa bows in return, it will spill its strength-giving water, making it feeble, and forcing it to return to its water kingdom.

What do Kappa do?

Kappa are mischievous creatures. They like to play pranks on people, like looking under women's kimono, fart loudly, steal crops, etc. This may sound cute and funny, but they can also be serious troublemakers. They are known to attack cattle, children and people, drag them into the river, suck their blood and take away their life force. Kids are the Kappa's favorite food and so even now, you can find signs with kappa on them close to rivers. Using old legends, the Japanese people prevent kids from getting too close to dangerous water areas. The only thing Kappa like better than children is cucumbers. In order to protect themselves, people use to throw cucumbers in the rivers they suspected kappa to inhabit.

About the size of a child aged 6 to 10, the Kappa is nonetheless incredibly strong. It attacks horses, cattle, and humans, usually dragging its prey into the water, where, according to various legends, it feeds on their blood, or drains their life force, or pulls out their livers through their anuses, or sucks out their entrails, leaving nothing behind except a hollow gourd. Stories tell of Kappa pulling little children into the water and drowning them. In many localities, drowning is still referred to as GAPPADOKO (ガーッパドコ). As drowning victims were sometimes found with a distended anus (swollen rectal), the Kappa is also sometimes called the shirokodama (anus) vampire. In some tales, the Kappa is associated with theft and raping women.

Kappa are mostly evil, but not always. When benevolent, the Kappa is supposedly a skilled teacher in the art of bone setting and other medical skills. In the real world of medicine, the term "kappa" refers to a monoclonal plasma cell related to bone marrow. (Note: Not yet able to confirm Kappa's bone-setting skills; but sounds very plausible, as most Shinto "kami" have some redeeming qualities.) In addition, the Kappa is always portrayed as trustworthy despite its many evil ways. When captured and forced to promise never again to harm anyone, the kappa always keeps its promise.

Kappa often help or mentor those who outwit them or capture them.

THEORIES ON KAPPA ORIGINS
The Kappa's origin is difficult to verify precisely. But, by the Edo Period, illustrations of Kappa appear often in anthologies of supernatural tales, in comical paintings (giga), in ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), and in paintings accompanying verse (haiga). In 1910, Kappa lore gained nationwide popularity with the publication of Tono Monogatari (遠野物語; Legends of Tono) by Yanagida Kunio (1875-1962). In Tono Monogatari, Yanagida presented numerous tales of supernatural beings in the Tono area, including stories about the evil Kappa. Today the Kappa is typically depicted as a cute cartoon-like character and appears quite regularly in Japanese fiction, in cartoons for children (Urusei Yatsura, Tenchi Universe), as a cute mascot for commercial products, and in toys

family-oriented animated feature, called Summer Days With Coo.

KAPPA IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE

Kappa Maki = Cucumber sushi rolls, a common Japanese food. The Kappa love cucumbers according to Japanese legend.
Okappa = Bobbed hairstyles that look like the Kappa's hair.
Kappa no Kawa Nagare = Even Kappa can drown. Even a Kappa can get carried away by the river. Kappa are excellent swimmers, so this is a proverb meaning "even an expert can make mistakes." There is a related proverb associated with the Monkey, which goes: Saru mo Ki Kara Ochiru. It means "Even monkies fall from trees."
Kappa no He = Much ado about nothing (literally "water-imp fart")
Kappa = Word for traditional straw raincoat worn by farmers

COMBAT, SUMO, & CUCUMBERS
The chief delight of the quarrelsome Kappa is to challenge humans to single combat. Indeed, the Kappa delights in Japanese Sumo wrestling, and often challenges its victim to a sumo bout.

Kappa folk have a liking for cucumbers, a weakness that can be used to human advantage. According to one tale, an offering of cucumbers (on which are etched the name/age of family members) is enough to appease the Kappa, who thereafter will refrain from harming you and your family (need to find source for this). Even today, cucumber sushi in Japan is called "Kappa-maki".

KAWAKO KAPPA
The Kappa is sometimes called Kawako (literally "river child"). The name can be traced to Kawako-no-miya (Shrine of the Kawako), located on the bank of the Kawachi river near Matsue/Izumo. Legend relates that a nasty Kappa was captured near here and forced to sign a note swearing never again to harm any of the people or animals in the area. Unable to write, the Kappa dipped its hand in the ink and pressed it on the document. The document remained among the shrine's relics, and the Kappa never broke the promise (the Kappa is always portrayed as trustworthy and courteous despite its many evil ways)

Sample Kappa Story
Once upon a time in the village of Kawachino there lived a man named Genta. He was from a distinguished family in the village and was so wise and brave that he was greatly respected by the villagers. His house was large and stood near a river which flowed through the village. The river was at its deepest at the bend near his house, and the water looked dark and unfathomable, being over six meters deep.

One summer evening, Genta came back from his outing and told his servants as usual to hitch his horse to a shady tree near the river. After taking a short rest, Genta stepped out into the garden and looked at the tree. To his surprise, a kappa, the size of a 6-7 year old boy was dragging the horse by its hind legs into the river. The silent horse was resisting the pull with its forelegs while strangely enough, the servant as if in a trance, was helping the small kappa by pouring water into the cavity on the kappa's head. The more the servant poured, the more powerful the kappa became.

Although Genta became very angry watching this scene, he had the presence of mind to think of a plan. From the shed he fetched a strong rope made of hemp palm and snuck up to the kappa from behind. Neither the servant nor the kappa noticed Genta's actions. He quickly caught hold of the kappa and dragged him away from the river, tying him up with the rope.

All of a sudden, the servant came out of his trance and followed his master's direction to hang the kappa upside down from the pine tree in the garden. Genta glared at the wicked water imp and reprimanded him. "What an insolent fellow you are! You take so much pride in your bit of supernatural powers and even try to steal horses from humans. You are very sinful indeed. I shall kill you as a warning to all of your fellow kappa."

With the precious water drained from his cavity, the kappa lost all his magic powers. The more he struggled, the tighter the rope cut into his flesh, making the pain even harder to bear. At last the kappa began to cry in a strange, harsh voice "please forgive me for mercy's sake my lord," he implored. "I'll not fail to make up for this crime, so please let me go." In tears, the the kappa begged Genta over and over again.

A kind hearted man by nature, Genta felt pity for the ugly creature who was crying. "If you swear with all your heart, I'll forgive you," he said to the kappa "but first, you must confess your sins and make restitution."

"I confess to you that I've done many wrongs," the kappa said. "I regret my past actions very much. Your authority is astonishing, so I promise you that even if the Kawachino River should flow upstream, I won't pull the people from this village into the water. Never will I do anything wrong again. Please spare my life today. I also promise to make all my fellow kappa keep this oath forever."

After the kappa swore his oath, Genta forgave him, took him down from the pine tree and untied the ropes. Placing both hands to the ground, the teary blue-eyed kappa bowed to him again and again. Then he asked Genta if he could go home to the bottom of the river.

"All right," Genta said, "but before you go, turn yourself around three times and recite your oath each time." The kappa obediently turned around 3 times, each time reciting his oath loudly. Kneeling down, he praised Genta, then went away.

After that incident, no more was to be heard of kappa in the village. Years later, Genta passed away, leaving behind the legend of subduing the kappa. The pine tree from which Genta hung the kappa, remained long after his death. Eventually however, the old pine tree too withered and died.

Whether the mystical kappa does in fact exist is still unknown. There is a sake manufacturing place in Imari called "Matsuura Ichishuzo" where, it is said that during restoration about 40 years ago, a small coffin was found between old boards containing a mummified kappa inside. The skeleton remains on display today for all who are interested in finding the truth.

NEW WORK Kosamebou Statue wip pic's 1

2009-08-09T15:25:00.000-07:00

Ok those are the first set of Work in Progress (WIP) pic's of my new Kappa Statue -

It's based on a story I once read about a Monk that cut off the hand of a powerful Kappa and now the hand is mummified in a shrine in I think it was Kumamoto the Kappa's name was Kosamebou. ( the Boss Kappa) and as you can see I added a servant, who will be holding a basket full of paid tribute for safe passage in his waters, So he's basically like a gangster or Godfather type of character.

Kappa's are supposed to the height & weight of children but strong enough to lift a horse and drag into a river, So he's massive for a kappa and his servant is the appropriate size.

As always I'm using Super Sculpey

Super Sculpey is a Polymer Clay and it's used by animation studios and professionals for prototypes maquettes and dolls. Its excellent tooling qualities make it the preferred choice for casting and all types of sculpture. Super Sculpey is a semi-transparent beige color and can be sanded drilled carved and painted with water based acrylics after it has been hardened in the oven. Non-toxic. Super Sculpey stays soft and pliable until it has been baked in the oven.

The legs an head are still unbaked, but will be by the time I've posted this, I just need to detail the scales more an fix the teeth. After that I start on the hands work on the hands, Hands an hair are always difficult so I tend to save them to latter and hair is ALWAYS the last because it's so easy to fuck-up.

that's it for now.

Organize my life an art as best as I can.

2009-08-08T15:17:00.000-07:00

So I'm trying to organize my art more, I'm goin to try to document more of my work from start to finish, hopefully so I can get more work done in a good time line.

So I've started a 7'' Kappa and a 4" servant to go with him.

This piece is really an excuse to start working with resin, as I want to make it look like the two kappa's are standing in water at the edge of a pond with lily pads, reeds, fish and maybe a frog an a turtle if I can pull it all off.

But in the end this is sorta a first step to understanding resin's an one day resin casting, As a sculptor not knowing casting and airbrushing has hindered my work. I never had a cemetery class and I'm not very good ate reading recipes Instructions so this ain't going to be easy but seeing the work of guys like -

http://www.godbeast.com

Stuff like his work reminds me that I could create something that can foster the same feeling for toy's that I had when I made up my own characters from cutout paper as a kid.

I have SO many ideas for Toy designs floating around my head an if I wait to one day be discovered, will never see the light of day.

One of my dream's is to one day have a line of my own small 2" tall monster toys smiler to the 80's Hasbro Battle Beasts or the Monster in My Pocket by Matchbox in 1990's. They were fun little things to collect but more importantly easy to recreate in a small custom line if I knew how to do it.

That's just one idea I have more much MORE, that I will talk about latter on.
