Have fun drawing super heroes!!!

I’m going to go step-by-step through the stages of one of my recent paintings. I know this has been done before, but it’s not been done by me. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in sculpture but I’ve been known to slap some paint on a canvas or a board. [...]

Forgive me, Banjo.

I’ve wanted to emulate Ben Day dots on canvas for a while. I don’t know much about Roy Lichtenstein. A little research on his methods may have helped me. Anyway, here’s Space Ghost mourning the death of his giant, mutated sea monkey. Acrylic and spray paint on canvas, 2010. I’m not much of a painter. [...]

So you’re thinking about studying sculpture

To anyone thinking of getting a BFA in sculpture, don’t be surprised if something like this exchange becomes common: “You majored in art?” “Yeah. Sculpture.” “So what, you can, like, make stuff out of clay?” “Well, that’s more ceramics…” “So what did you do in school?” “Made sculptures mostly.” “Out of clay?” “No. Well, that’s [...]

I Made This: Glorified Shelf

I’ve been calling this a ‘shelf’ or an ‘entertainment center’ based on how pretentious I felt at the moment. I made it to hold my DVDs, video games and DVD/video game accessories. After I finished it, I filled it with movies in about ten minutes and still have a few left over. There’s also no [...]

I Made This: Old Georgia Logo

Made. Traced. Recreated. Semantics… I found it in a calendar of old University of Georgia football artwork. Mostly game program covers. I don’t know why it has disappeared. It’s fucking awesome. And reminds me of this guy. My recreation here needs some touch up but it’s OK for now. Next step: touch up. Following step: [...]

Mold Making

I remembered this as a not-too-bad explanation of how to make an investment mold. I pruned 3-4 pages of emotional subplot, adverbs and indecisive qualifying clauses off of it. It’s still probably not done. This started out almost twice as long. I haven’t edited much of anything I’ve ever written. Mostly because I’ve never really [...]

Eddie Gein Dug Up a Posse

Just thought I’d post this since I found it on a drive while looking for an unrelated image. I find it quite funny and wasn’t previously able to locate it through the usual methods. Apologies to whoever actually made it.

Updates

I should really start using this thing again. It’s like I’ve been paying for domain registration (and hosting to a far lesser but more expensive extent) just so someone wouldn’t hold my .coms for ransom. I just added some high resolution images to my portfolio. I also pared down the blogroll a while ago but [...]

netLibrary DRM

I’ve never been a huge opponent of DRM. It seems natural that copyright owners would seek to protect their property in some way and the draw backs, such as increased power consumption by devices playing protected files, seemed minimal. But today defective by design hit home. I’ve already blogged about loving Larry Brown but I [...]

A Lengthy Wikipedia entry on the word “Thou”

“Thou” is today’s Wikipedia Fetatured Article. The word thou (pronounced IPA [ðaʊ]) is a second person singular pronoun in English. It is now largely archaic, having been replaced in almost all contexts by “you”. Thou is the nominative form; the oblique/objective form is thee (functioning as both accusative and dative), and the possessive is thy [...]
