PUDDLES!

Yes! As a kid I totally loved this show! And why wouldn't I? It involves a girl who has been drenched in toxic waste and given superpowers! Superpowers that include morphing into a shiny puddle of liquid mercury or something! It all makes sense now! Thanks to childhood programming that subconsciously informs the aesthetic tendencies of the adult psyche! This is probably the reason that I am fixated on shiny puddles and stuff.

Surfaces and sublime slime

A productive sunday and an overall good day- here are a few experimental detail stills.

Must. Keep. Momentum. 

 Nikon D5100 is the best thing of my whole entire life.

Jungle Cat

This is one last remnant of summer, another animal friend- Jungle Cat! I painted him while on vacation in Vancouver Island.  I wish I were still there.  Anyways, I think deep down I have the potential for a successful career as a folk artist selling hand-painted plywood tchotchkies and decorative beadwork and handmade candles or something.  I could sequester myself right outside of Coombs market! Oh I like this idea already.  Anyways, I am back in the studio now, and maybe there will be some "real" new work to come, one of these days soon.

Oh, Jungle Cat, you vicious predator. Plus, look how poisonous you are! If you were a plant or a reptile, you would be just plum-deadly.  But you're not.  You're a Jungle Cat, therefore you are even more deadly.

Chauncey

This is a very special pig named Chauncey.  Chauncey is the inspiration behind at least two songs, and this embroidery/painting.  As you can see, Chauncey is protected by a primary bubble-force field, and yet again by a secondary galactic-glitter force field.  Chauncey's name was accidentally inspired by that of John C. Reilly.  Chauncey, John C.  Get it? Anyways.  

This is the last of my truly ambitious summer-work.  Now I'm back at school, and we don't get our studio spaces until next WEDNESDAY.  So in the meantime, I don't plan on working much, just watching Jersey Shore reruns, and organizing the bazillions of photo files on my mac.

Okay bye.
