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.
