there are three of them now and are the three little pigs, they have costumes and everything. I never got around to doing the wolf but did hand over a design.

Project by Bryan Boyer, Adriel Mesznik, and Chris Parlato.

Program: Music school annex with concert hall, practice rooms, and small gallery.

What am I doing with this glowy-soft bullshit? Sort of funny when it's a hardnosed concrete building, though.

Final Jury for this project is on thursday:

Harry Cobb

P. Scott Cohen

Kenneth Frampton

Paffard Keatinge-Clay

Eric Keune

Wes Jones

Michael Meredith

Jose Oubrerie

NP with a shaggy bob... she's a custom in progress. I think she's going to be a 60's

girl... aptly named Cilla.

I HATE painting wood paneling. Thank goodness we had it removed instead of painting over it. We didn't want to spend to re-build the cabinets though.

building out towards where the fingers will be

When painting this one, I painted the figure in near the end. With this one, I wanted to start with the figure and create around it.

I drew this from a photo I have in my file of body shapes that appeal to me. I changed the hair entirely and gave her more bootie than the photo I was inspired by. It took very little time at all, which surprised me.

I have a general idea of what I'm going to create around her and what colours I'll be using.

I'm also contemplating a tattoo on her, but the jury is still out on that one. I might pencil it on before I decide. Pencil erases very easily from the paints--something I've only just twigged recently and I'm so happy I have!

leeeeeeech face

I’m currently making two plush dolls for a special project, so I thought I’d share some in progress pics and talk about making them. :)

***PIC #5***

Everything is sewn together! In this pic you can see that I’ve done a bit of handsewing already (sewn the legs on the body, sewn the hair on the heads, etc), and I’ve also pinned the eyes on their faces. I do this so I can start adding the smokey-eye look (with pastels and q-tips) exactly where I want before sewing the eyes overtop of the added makeup.

Finally up. Table still messy.

Try building on this.

Sarah's tape and stickers were used to decorate my little travel paint box.

I saw this great patten in a quilt magazine and just had to make it. I figured it should be done in an indian theme. It is partially quilted.

Project, yet again. Making symbols... There's so many reference material in this picture. It's so colorful.

Initial make-up preview, just to show her progress... the colors will receive more layering, and she's wearing my Cappuccino Chat's scalp and eyemech... your girl will get some different lashes.

Drypoint copper plate pre-printing (final design), below is a test print from a few days ago to check the line intensity. Not sure what paper that is. Rives BFK? Arches?

I hung the skirt on my dress dummy right on top of my in-progress chainmaille dress in order to neatly trim it.

I might be abandoning this particular build (although hopefully not the whole costume itself) but I decided to use some of the old pieces to at least experiment with the super-awesome paste. This are only *two* layers here (not even sanded) that covered up most of the super-uneven initial foam surface (that was dremmeled very roughly) + haphazard layers of blobby paint.

It's gonna be a pretty wide border, obviously...

Each flying geese is 4.5" by 2.5" so the width of this border will be about 4" finisihed...

I'm not happy with the corner so I'll probably make better ones later...

Blogged on Free-falling.

Turned the heel...

This shot is composed of 70 different pictures, each taken with the Canon F1.8 55mm prime lens. The photos were stitched using a Linux program called Hugin. The uncropped, full resolution shot is over 1GB in size

Woot!

Mmmm. Girders. This case study has been a good excuse to experiment a bit more with the fR rendering plugin. It produces nice global illumination with very fast rendering times but the light levels are hard to control. I'm quite happy with the light gradient on the underside of the roof decking here though.

This next stage was just getting some mid tones on there and to cover up all the white canvas.

Work in progress with new paints from Ironlak, for upcoming show at RAID Projects, Los Angeles.

New work included this exhibition this month.

California : Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons on Flickr.

Raid Projects is pleased to present California: Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons,

featuring the work of Anthony Ausgang, Brian Borlaug, William Emmert, Aaron Giesel, Susan Logoreci, Jason Manley, Travis Millard, Roland Reiss, Mark Ruwedel, Andrew Sexton, Devon Tsuno.

Curated by David De Boer and Kio Griffith.

Opening Reception: Saturday, June 18, 7pm-10pm

Show runs from June 18 to July 9, 2011

California: Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons aims to create a dialogue between artworks that represent a disintegrating California landscape and artworks that portray hollywood-bred iconic figures who have often failed to transcend their aging careers. Within this dialogue are questions of which of these has had the greater influence on the culture itself. Inspired by artists who use their local culture as source material for producing bodies of work, this exhibition is responding to the Getty Research Institutes Pacific Standard Time initiative; a multi-venue exhibition that focuses on postwar art in Los Angeles.

The first coat of paint is on the walls in the hall and the hall ceilings are painted. I need to repair and paint the trim next.

In progress shot of my quilting of rectangel's pillow! I finished the quilting and just a few more stitches before it becomes a pillow!

Hope you like it so far, rectangel <3
