Holy fuck balls, so much has happened since I last posted! Shame on me. But I have good excuses, lots of fabulous excuses.
1. Hollywood DC was a blast! From reception to viewing party and beyond, it was one of my favorite WOW shows, and I'm still stoked to have been a part of it. Big heaping thanks to James. :)
2. But wait, there's more! If you're in the LA area, you must come to the opening of December's show. Because not only will it be entirely $99 art, and who doesn't love a bargain, but I'm gonna have these adorable little bleach pieces in the show.
Each is 5x7" on cotton jersey, stretched over a wood frame. A few are embellished with shiny bits, 'cause what's Columbia without her sequins? I'll also be submitting a piece to January's show, but you'll have to wait for news on that.
The show opens Dec 4th at world of wonder, 6650 Hollywood Blvd, 8pm
3. Here's the random little piece that inspired those ^^. Also 5x7"
4. One of my classes is an intro to craft techniques. The basics of needlepoint, knitting, and so on. But the second half is metal work...much more my thing. Here's my first project! I beat the shit out of some copper, cut it into guitar picks, and lit it on fire. Brutal!
Now they've all got holes and jump rings and chains. Not bad for a first try, and I love torched copper.
I also torched a bigger square piece to do a painting on. I'm thinking Michael Monroe, but not entirely sure yet.
5. SO. MUCH. ART. I've cranked so much out in the last couple months it's kinda insane. For me. Who usually only manages a few pieces. Here's a check list of what's in the works or finished. Keep an eye out here, or myspace, or my website for the finished pictures.
-- James St. James, 'cause I'm pretty sure painting him is some kind of addiction.
-- Triplets Triptych, this is almost done! Getting there. I know as soon as I finish it I'm gonna wanna start a new one of these beauties.
-- Rocky Horror series, done!
-- Phil Lewis painting, almost done! I told Phil about this months ago, I'm sure he's forgotten or assumed I forgot. Never!
-- Clockwork Orange piece, done!
-- Glam killers, ...undecided. I've done a couple. Might do more.
-- James and Michael, two random little bleachy things, done!
-- Roxy Vayn painting, another random lovely. 25% done.
And then like three things I'm planning to start, and some side project commissions for people. Don't worry if you don't see it listed, it's on my schedule too!
Phew. So much to do, so little time. But so far the stuff I've been making is really really cool, and my senior show is gonna be awesome.
And now, I sleep.
