mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.

As you can see there is a lot of tedious, time-consuming work involved in gourd carving. Where it has been carved out, it has been sanded smooth by hand. Some of the gourd was carved with my dremmel and other, more intricate areas with my Xacto knife.

You can also see from this photo that I am still working on sanding and carving. :)

Will post the next progress shots either tomorrow (Easter Day) or Monday.

Have a wonderful Sunday and Happy Easter to all!

Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.

These are new additions to maximize every square inch we can get.

I am musing about what fabric to use for the angel's clothing and I have narrowed it down to these two pieces of shot silk.

As mentioned previously, I have joined a Flickr group "Colored Pencil Drawings", so I will be posting more sketches and colored drawings (in-progress) here, to be able to post them at the group site as well...

This link has a Step-by-Step photo display of the drawing

I took a quick picture tonight - while it was snowing again! - as you can see, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the blue and the black but I think I will leave it as is. Happy with his eyes, they remind me of him.
