Chinadoll

Let me introduce you to: miss Chinadoll! Along with Yakuzabot, she’s going in the mail tomorrow down to L.A. to be part of the Giant Robot Biennal 3 Remix project. This is one of the very first two dolls I’ve ever customized, and with her, I took the extra step of adding super sculpey to her face and hair-buns, also giving her a modest chest. This all resulted in her being quite top-heavy… like me she is a clumsy girl, and often finds herself falling flat on her face (though me, not for the top-heavy reason. ahem).

Also, she has eyeballs growing out of her back!! See the before picture here.

Here are the two together - to them, the (slight) size discrepancy isn’t important. They are in love.

And here is Yakuzabot’s finished tattoo work.

And glamour shot. :) This was loads of fun to do. Now, what to do with all this extra sculpey clay??

Moth Girl

Getting excited for spring! And digging in the dirt, and picking thorns out of your fingers.

Here’s a new drawing for the last days of winter – I’m currently working on getting this design on T-shirts! Finally – ! Sooo excited.

You can find the print up in the shop for $20. :)

 

 

Stinging nettles – colored!

Painted in the nettles, finally -

14×17″ - pencil, ink and watercolor on bristol.

I started painting in the warm brown spots before even realizing why -

then remembered the natural sting rememdy of rubbing fern spores on your burns. I can’t remember if this actually makes a huge difference, but – better than nothing, right? Apparently peeing on the stings helps, too – or rubbing on dirt, mud, alcohol – almost anything you can think of! …Ferns seem to be a safe bet, so I’ll stick to them.
