A ThEmE

There seems to be a theme in my self portraits that I was completely unaware.  Pictures of me with no makeup looking serious with  fire of some kind behind me. I took this most recent self portrait at Burning Man 2010 and made it my profile picture on Facebook,

 

 P9010507 - Copy

only to realize how similar it was to this picture taken four years ago late in the evening while I was firing a large gas kiln.   Odd…. but cool serendipity

HoUsE ViGnEttEs

Some more pictures of some of my favorite things in my home played with in Photoshop.  I am getting more of a handle on editing the texture layers to work better with the photo. I find it strangely relaxing to edit photos…. hmmmm

BuNNy EaRs FoR EvErYoNE

Not sure what came over me, perhaps it was the ADO wonderland event or watching the fabulous stop motion Czech film “Alice”  That featured Alice turning into a doll, a fabulously creepy taxidermy rabbit, a sock puppet caterpillar and  fabulous creatures made out of bones and found objects. 

 

But almost everything I created in the summer had rabbit ears!!   Very weird.. 

 

On with the show…

It was a silly/sick joy to cut the face off of this Hallmark stuffed bunny (upclycled from Goodwill) and replace it with one of my sweet but strange baby faces. Reminds me a bit of Max from Where the Wild Things are, simultaneously  sweet and rough at the same time.

Then there is this little bunny man…

He started his life our as a cloth and clay animal of some kind.  When I found him in my stash there was no head left but cute paws and feet still.  So I did a little creative transplant with a baby Jesus from a nativity scene, and then sculpted some new bunny ears and an anatomical  heart out of Apoxy sculpt.  The perfect aged house shape was a salvaged from an old bird house.

 

 

And then here is the rascal that started this trend…

finished with his ruffled pants.
