So I signed up to receive my moleskin sketchbook today (should arrive within 2 weeks). I’m really excited about the whole thing. I picked the theme of “science project gone wrong”. MUHAHAhahahahaaaa. I also signed up for the digitizing of my book as well. That way years later on down the road I can look it up and see what I created. Thanks to my friend, Aileen, for letting me know about it.
I have been working on some weird 3D portrait stuff recently. I only have two finished as of right now, but plan on making three more. The materials I have been using are wood (for a plaque base/background), paperclay (an air-drying clay that is adhered to the wood), and acrylics. I like how they look like my 2D paintings, but when viewed from angles, the faces pop out. This project is more time consuming than my usual painting style, but I am quite enjoying it. Maybe one day I will go larger with this concept. The ones I am working on right now only measure at 5″ x 7″ in size.
Again, I most thank my friend, Aileen, for this latest project of mine. She is always telling me to get back into making my 3D art dolls that I used to make while I was at art school. I made so many that now live in boxes on my shelves. I only have about two out on display in my apartment. Guess I still don’t like remembering art school. So yeah… at this point in time, I didn’t want to create a whole art doll. So I decided to create whatever you might call these things. Hmm…what should I call them? Heads on plaques? 3D portraiture? Well, for now, I will just call them the names I have given them. Beatrice and Violet.
Here is some early pictures of the making of them.
