My Work for Peculiar Playmates Show

I have been wanting to post some pics but I wanted to wait for the show to get going before I showed my work. Here are a few pictures of the girls and their Peculiar Playmates. I will have some process pics on my flickr and deviant art accounts for those of you that like that stuff. If you can't make it to the show in person you can see the other awesome artists work at bearandbird.com.

and of course I had to throw in a creepy cutie!! Meet Agatha and Buzzy

Have a great week!!

Peculiar Playmates Show!!

Hi everyone, Here's the flyer for my upcoming show Peculiar Playmates!!

I am so honored to be exhibiting at Bear and Bird Gallery along side these awesome artists! I have been working on a few pieces for this show for a little while now and it is almost here.

The show will run from August 7th 2010 through September 25, 2010 at 4566 North University Drive, Lauderhill, FL.

I hope you locals can make it to the Opening Night Reception!!

Hi everyone and thanks for visiting my blog!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween or Harvest Day. 

A big THANK YOU!!! to those of you that have visited Bear and Bird Gallery for the Candy Apples and Razor Blades show, there is still time until mid-November to see all ofthe great artists that participated or to purchase a piece of art. 

I have been working on my new pieces for the Small Stuff 3 show coming up in November 22, I will post them next week after I hand them over to the gallery. 

In the meantime here are a few pics of my face ups done on my Ball Jointed Dolls (BJD's). The large one is a Bobobie Sprite in white and the small one is a planet doll Tara in white.

They were done in a big hurry (about 45 minutes!)because I just couldn't wait to see what they looked like behind all of that white resin. I made the Tara wig out of mohair but I need to fix it and style it better. As soon as I sew them some outfits and get them entirely blushed i will take some final shots and post them.

If you want to see them full size, check out my flickr account

Bye for now!

My Halloween Creepy Cutie "Poor Little Margaret"

Hi AGAIN!

 

Here are the WIP's I mentioned yesterday of my sad little clown Margaret. 

She is a Creepy Cutie which is a nice or mild way of saying she has passed on. My Creepy Cuties have a more exaggerated style which gives me an opportunity to express a less serious side of my art(very liberating). This was one of the inspiration photos behind the little clown doll and of course the name of the art show was the driving force for the whole idea.

 

I will post some more WIP pics of Poor Little Margaret tomorrow and this weekend I will post the finished doll. Come back soon!!
