some recent snaps
Category: Uncategorized
i really need a flickr (flikr?) (spanish?) account, but i don’t want a yahoo e-mail to deal with. blah.
here’s an elf that is attached to a light post in the Rainbow Plaza parking lot. elves are troublemakers and i don’t like them. at all.
here’s a picture of the palette i was using for my latest creation.
what’s this? only one color? monochrome?
monochrome! monochrome! monochrome! (am i the only
one who thinks of the Simpson’s episode Marge vs the Monorail? fine. whatever.)
anyway, the latest paint adventure has been monochromatic, and it has been a blast. not only does it look badass, but it is a lot easier just worrying about one color than it is with different fleshtones and shadows. for this one i used titanium white and phthalocyanine blue. linseed oil was the only thing i added to the paint.
other paint tools and poisons.
and here we find the artist taking a short break from her work. only long enough to snap a quick pic and then dive right back in to the mixing and painting and jamming to some Smokey Robinson.
i’ll post some pictures of the painting soon. it’s a Christmas present for mom and dad. so don’t mention it to them okay? thanks.
and now for the pets:
Lebowski managed to cram himself into this basket that was on the table. this picture doesn’t really show how tiny the basket is.

Can I just say how awesome it is that “the thorax” has become a running gag?
Can I just say that I’m so glad that SOMEone finally mentioned it? i say that a lot (like at work when someone turns in an insect book and there’s a giant insect on the cover) and no one ever gets it. or, maybe they get it, but they don’t think it’s funny. oh.
i don’t care. i’m keeping it in my bag of of schtick.
Well, you know what they say: Dying is easy, comedy is hard, thoraces are chitinous.
Jaimie don’t pick on the elf. Do you know how long he has been up on that pole with that red bell up his ass? Longer than you have been on this earth. Now call me sentimental but you gotta love an elf thats been around since the Woolworth.
P.S. Absolutely cannot wait to see the Christmas portrait. So glad I didn’t see it until now. I would have had a hard time keeping it to myself.
