Just Lovely

Good afternoon! How are you guys doing?

Today, I'm pretty awesome considering I finally finished this weird piece you see above. Trust me, it gets creepier the more you look at it. The inspiration behind this is my love for cosmetics, eye makeup and the slightly absurd. And now apparently the slightly disturbing.

As you may have read in earlier posts, I graduated college and now no longer have the excuse to say "Well, this art was for an assignment." Now I have to own up to what I create and provide appropriate commentary and reasons for creating what I create. 

Art is like therapy or my own personal time. Because I haven't painted in a few weeks I was surprised at the stuff that came out of my pen. I titled this piece "Lovely." Lovely refers to my sarcasm and to the ever important point that nothing is quite how it seems. It symbolizes the duality in the world. You may only see a beautiful eye, but after a while you might notice the deadly creature and its victims... Oh, just lovely. *shakes head at self*

Thanks for reading! If you'd like to purchase a print, head to my shop by clicking here!

Oh hello! As many of you know, I'm diving into the world of makeup artistry as more than just a hobby. The above video is the result of a nice experiment of creating a fake wound from scratch on my very tolerant friend's face. If you would like to see the making of the wound, stay tuned as I shall upload a video in a few days.

For now, enjoy this lovely SFX in action of me putting nails and a needle through my friend, Bernard's face. My bestie, Reginald was kind enough to film this whole process for me and provide amazing commentary which had me laughing the whole time. Thank you guys-- you rock!

Enjoy the pictures too!!! (No Models or Bernards were harmed in the making of the SFX makeup job)
