Costume Update!

Here's me in the first of the four costumes (Two others are finished but I don't have pictures yet). Still missing here are the fangs, the claws, and the duck feet. I'll post more pictures as I have them!

Umm....Wow!!

Where the Wild Things Are - Masks!

So I know I've been neglecting this blog recently. But there's a good reason for that. All of my spare time after work for the past month and a half has been spent working on these masks:

I'm so excited with the way that they've turned out. The only thing left to do is create teeth and horns for three of the four masks. Here are some individual pictures





Now to make the body suits.....

Where the Wild Things Are - Mask #1

My housemates and I are going to go as the characters from Where the Wild Things are for Halloween and I'm starting making the costumes. This is the beginning of the first of the four masks. I made the base shape out of clay and covered it in tin foil to refine the shape. Next I will add papier mache and then the mask will be ready to paint. The pictures are not the best, especially with the tin foil, but you can see the beginnings of the face of the monster with the striped fur

Another Threadless submission

Even if it doesn't get printed, I really enjoyed doing the illustration. I had the idea for the drawing very exact in my head, and I think I was very successful in translating that image to the page (or well, computer screen in this case). I like the effect of coloring with gradients. I think it is an effect that I will continue to explore.

Peter and the Wolf

The very end of Peter and the Wolf came on the radio a few days ago (though unfortunately not the one narrated by Boris Karloff) and I was inspired to do an illustration. Right now this is just a sketch, I may take it to a complete picture in the future

Little Gremlins and other things

I've been having fun this weekend designing T-shirts for various contests online. I did two for This American Life's contest, and since it is a good way to get my work out there, I've been working a bit on some Threadless submissions. Check out my newest one here:
