Weekly WRMHL3 - 1/23

Another week, another creative dump. Can't promise these little updates will always happen, or always be weekly, but it's a good place for me to drop some photos of work made in the past week so I can look back at it later.

This week's minis were some bashes I made sitting on Gage's couch the other night, and a skeleton cart which Gage told me was made by @manglingminis. They were painted in oils, which I haven't used in a long time, but it'll be back to being my daily driver for a while:

I made a handful of collages:

This one I applied to a collage specific show at a local gallery in the town I work in:

A couple works that I edited with the phone dramatically to create as strong a contrast as possible, something like this will likely be the cover of my next album (whenever I get around to that):

And lastly, I met up with the gang at the studio last night and got my artwork for Godling to about 95%. Just gotta adjust the lights a bit and drill a hole to run the wire through - oh and some way to mount it to the wall...

Come through if you can make it!

Anyway, keep on making a mess - pce!

WRMHL Update - 1/15

Last couple months been BUSY, but I’ve really caught my stride in the last few weeks. Like most people, I have projects in the works, and sometimes those projects build up a bit. Some stagnate and lay forgotten. I’m a “daily todo list on a post-it” kinda fella and that works for me because I cannot remember what I have to do otherwise. 

Lately I’ve been working hard to complete my whole list in a day, not leave anything untouched even the little stuff. I’ve kinda reconfigured my to-do to be more realistic and it’s been helpful. I’ve cleaned up and organized my classroom and that’s helped out a lot too. 

Finally I’ve been keeping a small, book calendar, which is helpful in itself, but it’s got this random section titled PRIORITIES with six little lines. I’ve been dropping all those stagnated or medium sized to-dos on there and it’s been helpful in clearing out the backlog and accomplishing the extra “that would be cool” ideas I get. 

Anyway all my daily to-dos aren’t boring, here’s the fun stuff I’ve done this week:

Painted up some Nurgle models for my YouTube rank and flank project

And an ork who's been kicking around the work bench for a while:

I’ve done a handful of collages at lunch or while the kids are working:

I have a work showing currently at a local gallery near me:

And I’ve slowly plugged through the building part of my piece for the Godling show put on my Martin and Shane at the end of the month:

It’s been good, and clearing away the old dusty backlog of todo has me excited to see what’s coming up!

Secret Santa Bash

Never posted my Secret Santa model that I made, and after getting yelled at by Ramshackle Curtis, I realized that he's right I should just throw it up and show you.

A couple of months ago I made a post about wanting to slow down and focus more. Take my sculpting more seriously, and making my painting more meditative.

Through doing that I realized that I deeply missed the OTHER side of the coin. Making a mess and seeing what happens.

I crushed out the bash on this guy in a night. It's similar to what I do when bashing with friends. I used the Miscast/Trent style built up base, where I mashed a lot of sci-fi junk into something interesting all held together with glue and greenstuff.

The base of this bash is a Wargame Scenery? (I think) mech boy that was given to the Hive Scum studio by the Michigan Carnage Club (I think Jay3 specifically). From there I slapped a fish head by Gardens of Hecate and Smashbash, a Final Faction (dollar store toy) saw for the arm and the tyranid arm. I filled in the gaps with a messy mix of greenstuff, dirt and glue, wires, and tamiya paste. 

Then I primed it when it was still curing before going to bed

Quick, dirty, and FUN!

Then I did the same thing with the paintjob. My toddler sat on my lap and we slapped a brownish basecoat, then that night I just hit the details with a little highlight. It felt good to let LOOSE!!

Anyways. Sometimes you gotta slow down, and sometimes just blasting through feels good. 

PEACE!
