Mechanical Magnificence - The House of Machines

This set was so much fun to build. The concrete look is achieved with styrofoam painted over with grey acrylic. Dressed with cracks and little wires sticking out, I find it convincing enough. I also was allowed by my daddio to take apart a DVD player, the circuit boards are an intriguing detail, adds character. Little robot pieces, little overhead lamps, security cameras that spin like a top, chains crunching, a rotating ceiling fan, this house really comes to life in the master shot! Roughly 1,200 photos taken here.

Tree + Tree = Some Trees + Cheating it with a Camera = Forest

This is the forest where all the beautiful meetings happen. Roughly 2,000 photos take place here. The trees are sculpted out of sculpey, painted on top with acrylic. The rocks are made up of Chipotle napkins that I hot glued into rocky shapes. All the foliage dressing is from a model train store. Enter the forest!

Eldridge. You snappy little tweaker.

OK OK. I SEE THE TIN FOIL. Temporary! Temporary! I'll see you in another life brutha. He will be resting on a mound of sand. I'm going back to Hawaii for this exact reason. To get some sand in my pants brah.

Headbutting turtle shells. Leaves you in tears.

I realized after looking at the blog / my portfolio... I haven't attempted a realistic sculpt. So my mind wandered through planet earth and behold, it collided with a turtle. He said draw me. So I did. He said give me a beautiful shell. I said nothing can be as beautiful as yours. He slapped me with his flipper. I've always wanted to feel turtle flippers. I chose 5 photo's stepping into the processes of creating Eldridge.

The Ending is Sculptures and a Bag of Shat

PEPPI! YOU ARE DONE! PHOTOGRAPHED! NOW STAY IN MY STORAGE SHED UNTIL I NEED YOU AGAIN. They told me to grow a pair. I didn't understand the math so I grew two pairs of pairs. And now my masculinity has gone off the charts. STORY: Peppi is a gardener, digging up pumpkin colored munchkins and cutting off their umbilical cord, so that they die. Population control. sculpey, acrylic, plexi glass (glasses), model store foliage.

I'M SO SORRY. I APOLOGIZE. I'M SO SORRY.

I feel bad for not posting anything new for over a month. BUT DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. A lot of things have been made.
