Personal work for a change!










Hello all!
All four of you.
I have finally gotten around to doing some work just for me!
This will be the last time ever that I will be able to do anything for myself, so I'm glad I got the chance to do it.

I did this piece while hanging out with the super-spiff, Dori the GIANT http://www.dorithegiant.com/
We had a sculpting day.

Process began with wire armature
Bent it in the shape of the little creature
Applied Super Sculpey
Took several hours to sculpt.

After finishing the creature I moved onto the fish.
Baked it.
Painted it.

Then I made the chair out of some things... fabric and foamcore.
Lotta hot glue...
used some more foamcore...
some more hot glue.
lotta paint.

I used safety pins for the fishing hooks, pretty clever, eh!?
This thing took me about 2 days total. Though, not anywhere close to 48 hours.
Y'know... like "two days" but not solid or anything.
...
I did eat during this process.

  2. What's with you and sea creatures lately? It seems like every illustration you've done this past year has involved fish somehow. And I can't believe you're still using super sculpey. People nowadays use ultimate sculpey.

    fish and sea creatures and most things relating to the sea are the greatest.
