Sketches and Stuff

A little doodly guy made out of some fabric I had left over from making my friend a cloak. When I first started making these dolls, my Oma used to say “Why don’t you make something like a little bunny?” Now she just says “Oh, you’re making another one of your creatures.”

A Selkie doll I made out of bits and scraps of leftover fabric. I had the idea stuck in my head after re-reading a book I hade when I was little, called “The Selkie Girl.”

DAMN was that story awful. This guy just steals the selkie’s skin and forces her to marry him and have kids and just keeps her in the house all the time. Then finally when the kids are older, one of them finds her skin and gives it back to her. She says she loves her kids, but she also has a seal husband and seal children at sea and since she hasn’t seen them in like over a decade, she would kinda like to get back to them and her kids are just like “okay that’s cool”. When her husband finds out he’s just like “Oh well I knew I couldn’t keep her forever.”

agh

But the illustrations were nice.

anyway this doll is for sale if anyone’s interested. https://www.etsy.com/listing/99037667/the-selkie-girl

Oh, 4Kids…

I feel like I should have known that 4Kids got rid of the guns, instead of thinking “man that’s weird why are they threatening him with finger guns”.  derp

Always reblog this. A lot of the animals they kill (and they kill over 95% of the animals they take in at their Virginia Headquarters) are killed within 24 hours. Not nearly enough time to deem whether an animal is adoptable or not. They even bought a giant fridge to store the corpses!

       PETA is a corporation. Not a charity.  Less than 1% of their 32 Million+ annual budget actually goes to directly helping animals. Most of it is spent making sexist/racist/ domestic abuse supporting commercials that won’t even air on television, giving bail outs to convicted arsonists and criminals, hiring/supporting any celebrity that claims to be vegetarian for five minutes, creating campaigns to target children (“Your mom kills animals”), fruitless lawsuits like suing Sea World for violating the constitution, and most recently, making porn. I’m not against porn, but I fail to see how it fucking helps animals. 

PETA does not give a shit about animals.

LOOK I LEARNED HOW TO WELD. And use this cutting machine called the Nibbler.

My first University sculpture class was…quite different from my sculpture class in highschool. Mostly it was the power tools. They just showed you how to use them, and after that it was like “yeah go ahead and use these whenever you want, no supervision needed. Want to be here at 1 AM using the bandsaw? Go right ahead”. This whole “do what you want whenever” thing is going to take some getting used to.

A pretty damned big commissioned piece for a friend, who wanted Tank Girl riding an octopus and left the rest up to me. It may or may not glow in the dark—I’m not too sure how good the glow-in-the-dark paint I bought works. If it DOES, though, the octopus is all glowy.

Roses Grow From Coffee, a 40”x40” acrylic on canvas painting I made for a gallery  show. I was trying to think of something to paint, and then I saw this girl with an absolutely lovely blue paisley hijab at the student centre. Unfortunately, the paisley didn’t make it into the painting—which I had less than a month to due, since I had various art projects and exams to finish.
