My So Called Art

Photobucket
title: when love rears it's ugly head
this is probably my favorite piece. the bust was purchased at hobby lobby, the skull/heart was done with sculpty clay. i had the idea for this immediately when i saw the bust. i got it home, drew up the basic design and at first tried to paint it. my paints suck and wouldn't stick, especially considering i didn't want to take the time to prime it and do it the right way. after cleaning up the mess, i decided to try colored pencils. another wasted effort, i dunno why i even thought it might have worked. then i had the idea of using sculpty. at first i had it all laid out and separated by by color but decided it was too clean and decided to smear the clay.

title: follow your dreams
the ragdoll was purchased at wal-mart, the skull was done with the crappy paints i mentioned earlier and touched up with a fine point pen. i think the doll was intended to be a graduation type gift before being bastardized by my hands.

title(s): a troll with a pretty face is still a troll or plastic surgery disaster
the troll doll was found on the floor when i worked at hastings, the barbie head was either found in the yard or bought at goodwill. this piece came about through sheer boredom. i dunno why, i just decided to cut off the trolls face. after doing so, i noticed the hole was big enough to hold the head of barbie. the head stays in just fine, but i added the safety pins just for shits and giggles.

more to come....
