A dream-sketch and experiment. So recently I have (aside from getting the jewelry itch) been wanting to create more drawings. This first one is a simple graphite on paper illustration. He is a great big, greasy, fat guy who eats children. This is according to my friend Steph, who birthed the inspiration from a dream she had. I decided that I wanted to attempt a likeness from her description. Mmmmmm, gorgeous, is he not? I may end up working this into a colour illustration, but for the moment I am content.

I've finally finished a large 42" square painting that has been hanging on my wall since May. It has been neglected and pounced upon a couple times. The pictures below don't include a high-gloss finish that I plan on putting on, mostly because I wanted to details to show through without the shine from the lighting (can't afford professional pics yet). This style falls into possible categories such as Anti-craft, Outsider Art, perhaps even Surrealism (though I believe that is a bit of a stretch). I have d...

s l a g h e a p: Some thing's a doing

http://slag-heap.blogspot.com/2010/02/hey-finished-couple-things-over-last.html

Some thing's a doing. Finished a couple things over the last couple months. They have nothing to do with the progress bars on the side of the screen. *sigh* they will get their rightful attention eventually. I got an itch to create some necklaces, simply to see what I might come up with. There are more images of each available at my Etsy. Shop: http:/ www.etsy.com/shop/damnitshilary?

Done done, DONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEE! Well, it's not that it took too much longer to really figure out what I wanted to do. I had a prototype fleshed out on photoshop. Just needed to try and weave paper in and out of the sometimes very tiny holes in the lace. So There it is. Documented the best I can without any good slide film . or a camera to hold slide film, lol. Now I just have to write 100 words about that darn thing. Ah well, at least there's some kind of accomplishment here. There, all documenty-like.

Plum" is my first full Photoshop painting! I am really happy with this new piece. Recently I have become a bit disillusioned with my works-in-progress and taking the time to work on this image has really put me into a much better mood. I have decided to begin a series involving trees in one way or another. We'll see what happens with it. Hmmmmm, nice and cheery don' ya think? I enjoyed making it at least. Time taken to finish: On and off most of August. :) We'll see how long the next one takes.

Another one bites the dust! At least it always tends to feel that way once I finish a piece. It's probably because I take quite a while to finish things and begin to feel bored with them and frustrated at certain points. I am happy with it, for the moment at least. I am also very excited to get started on the new one (this will be the start of 3 of a hopeful 5 in the series). In any case, the results:. Poo Acrylic on canvas. 42" X 42". Poo, central detail. Sneak-peak: Neon pink ;). Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

Hm, been awhile. Right So did I ever mention that I've previously attempted to start two other Blogs? And failed to keep them up miserably? Anyway, I never made any commitments to this in any case. Honestly, I suck at keeping logs of things. But I'm here now. Went to an event called FaeryFest this past Sunday. I have a bunch of pics on my Flickr account. Link Below:. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/15064181@N03/. I also have some pics of past knitting projects from University there as well. It was a fun tim...
