Sometimes I paint, sculpt, draw, or do anything that I might deem art
Just one of those creative outbursts, the thought had been bouncing around my head for a while. I really just think that Smelbo’s is a really cool name and that Kelli deserves her own band. Took me a few tries to get the elbows right.
Thought I should post something since it’s been a while. I’ve been working on Halloween stuff for the last month so i haven’t made much progress on the creative front. I thought I could use a new background for my computer so I threw together this 1980’s / McDonalds / MTAG mash-up. Think it works pretty well.
Thought I needed to post something here, So I decided to post this sketch of Charlie that I did a while (long while) ago.
More to come!
I finished scanning in my sketchbook last night. I think I scanned in 63 pages. I basically scanned in any page with something that I thought might be interesting on it. I don’t think I’ll upload every page or even all of the good ones. I’ll probably cut and paste some of the better drawings.
It’s interesting to look back on things that I drew a couple years ago. It made me think two things. 1.) Sometimes I can draw some pretty interesting things. and 2.) I need to draw more often! (it took me almost 2 years to finish this one)
I’ll post the best pictures later
This is a door knocker I made for the house in Vienna. I hadn’t sculpted anything in a while and thought it would be easier (and cheaper) than trying to find one like this in a store or online. I found most of the supplies at Michaels, with a few nuts and bolts coming from Home Depot.
I really think it came out great. I think if I did it again I might get the dimensions of the skull a little more exact, find a more decorative backing plaque and a better knocker than a U-bolt with washers and nuts epoxied onto it. But it has been working well for about a year now.
Later!
I designed a new font while doodling at my desk. Well actually I was just making psuedo chinese charchters on sticky notes with highlighters, but you get the point. I started to see that some of them could look like english letters (sort of). Then I decided to replicate it in Illustrator. Since I was using pink and yellow highlighters I thought a nice 1980’s inspired design might look cool.
I’m a sucker for pink to orange fade.
Now it’s the wallpaper on my computer. I think it looks wild. I’m making a smaller one for my phone (8125), I’ll upload that later.
Later!
