Tumblr

I've been using Tumblr a bit more than Blogger recently to update.
It's a little easier to use for quick uploads, I think.

Here's my art tumblr:

External Hard Drive

So I have been working on updating, as you can see, but as I was trying to get my new work all set my external hard drive decided to stop working.

I hope I haven't lost 6 years of work, but I'm sure I'll be able to recover the data at some point.

In the short term though that means the under construction period will be extended a bit and the work will be a little older on average as I can't curate the images as I would like.

Necrogoat

I actually finished up the Necrogoat in Julyish, and haven't had time or energy to take proper photos. Here are some shots of him on my studio wall. I'll compile all my process images into one post, but here's a link to a blog entry from pretty much a year ago when I started the project. When that portion was complete, it took me several months of off and on work to get it down those extra few inches in circumference, and the face was a total mess that took another few months and was pretty much resculpted from scratch. Why I wasted my time and money buying a form is beyond me at this point. I also sort of wish I had gone with a classic left turn pose but that would have been more difficult to cut down. Such is life.

Lowell Open Studios

 So last month Lowell Open Studios happened. Here are some shots from my table. I also had some necklaces and prints but eventually I'll post those for sale individually.

Spotted Skunk, originally done for Amniota and Arthropoda. She had a good time at LOS

I put together these bone grab bags for cheap. There are still some left.
