You know that sketch I blogged about a couple of posts back? Yeah, I haven't started that one yet... :) The main reason being is that I'm going to do it in oils, and I haven't worked in oils in years...I'm kind of a perfectionist, so I'm, uh...putting it off for a little while...(soon though, I swear)! :) ...
The painting shown here I am finally starting. I began this sketch a few years ago...(It's basically about losing your mind-- something many artists can relate to right?-- here's to you Van Gogh! :)...I think I'm going to call it "Pickle Head"... Get it? The head looks like a pickle, kinda...and also it's a refererence to your brain getting pickled :)...Yes, screwey but true :) It may look quite different by the time I finish it...I will most likely put a wallpaper background in it, like some of my other surreal paintings. I'm attempting to creat a "cohesive" body of work, or so they call it... :O (we'll see how it goes-- I have a bit of artistic ADD or something)...
In honor of my procrationation, and the many ideas I have in my head, I bring you this fun and quirky video by The Foo Fighters! :) I love this song/video. This song, called "Big Me," was big in my late teen years. I've decided to do a Mr. Chicken based on this video...Mr. Chicken Eat His Mentos (perhaps?)...I think Mr. Chicken might have to sport some Dave Grohl braids :)...(Remember those fun and dorky Mentos videos?) Of course though, since I procrastinate and am working on 10 differnt things at once, it may be a while :)
..sorry I had to post the link insted of the video-- I couldn't embed it for some reason! :O

Kerry,
I don't think that's screwy at all. I think it's kewl personally. A pickle head would be perfect to name it. Seeing as how pickles are jarred and artist's...I don't know about you but I feel hidden away sometimes, jarred for my own safety. A good way to go insane but hey....anyway, I think this piece is wonderful!!! Love it!
*HUGS*

Thanks Angela! :) How is school going? :)
Good name ... I like Mr. Pickle Head.
Awesome work! I have a whole bunch of oil paint. I should get them out someday before they become "vintage".
Maybe I can oil paint some yarn!
Go for it Oz! I bet it would be ...cooool..... :D
