New-ish Mask

Here is a revamp of the Bull Mask that I did for Elisa. This is the same style of the deer. I will try to find some pics of the mask up close. But for now-enjoy

Revamp of old series

Alright-I haven't been so good at keeping up to date (that lazy thing). BUT Elisa wanted to revisit her dream series with animals-so I present to you my deermask.





Next comes the bull......stay tuned

It's Complete!!!!!!! My Victorian Mech LIVES!!!

I finally completed (mostly) my Mech. Here are posted many pics of the finished piece. If I have time later-I may go back to add some more pipes and finish the front of the body (to truely look like an old iron horse). The mech stands 11 inches tall and is entirely paper-no wires, no string, no plastic (it does have pennies in the feet to keep it weighted). I am working on some other Steam Punk Mechs in the vein or PaperKraft and PaperForest.

More SteamPunk Fun

So here are some more pics with minor commentary. Sorry for the long pic post.

Here, the feet are complete as well as the body. I had a design change from an upright Mech to more of a chicken walker like ED-209 or the AT-ST.





Here is the body. This side shows the gears...most of them. I am still finishing up some cogs and such.



And here is the pipe side with a better view of the Gatlin Gun (which is an authentic model from old Civil War pics)I have some more valve handles I want to add as well as maybe some chains (how I am going to make those out of paper-I'm still working on it)



Here are the completed legs on the body

SteamPunk Mechanized Walker

Construction has begun on a steam driven mechanized walking manlike machine of epic proportions. Crews have finished the boiler and the beams for the legs. Issues with the driver canopy have surfaced. The designer has not decided on whether to have a nice comfortable seat under a canopy or house the driver in an armored carapace. Updates to come....

New Project-Steampunk Mech

So, after my 4th of July project-I received alot of compliments about my mech (which didn't burn). So I am creating a series of 10 inch steampunk mechs. I just started on my first one-but here is the original







And here is where the hand launched off as planned and exploded. The gun fell off after the first missle took off-then spun in circles while the other 5 shot out. Then the smoke came, but no explosion. It now sits in my window.......handless.

I'm sooooooo lame.......

Okay-I am not doing this blog thing correctly. I haven't posted in several weeks as well as do any art for several weeks. I am still working on my Propaganda Poster as well as several masks. BUT my lazy butt has been laying about...lazily drinking Hot Buttered Rums playing Bioshock. Speaking of Bioshock-here is a Big Daddy Dunny I finished right before christmas. HA! I did do something.
Okay-I dont have a pic of the final-it's still in my camera-but here are a few before the final paint job.







For those who don't know what BioShock is-it's one of the best video game ever!!! Right behind Psychonauts or Worms or ..........EarthWorm Jim.

As for Dunnys....google it.

Earlier works

Haven't posted in a while. We had our biggest show at the end of February (my day job is in manufacturing as a tech illustrator) PLUS we had layoffs. We have our regular duties AND had to cover the extra work. My nights consisted of Rum and my Xbox.
Currently I am working on some art deco propaganda posters with a twist-but thought I should post something. I did these a while back-but the demon mask is still one of my favorites.

Bird Masks now with 30% more color

Elisa finished the shoot and here is one of them.

Paper mask for Elisa

Elisa has a shoot today and needed two bird masks for the models. Here are the two in the middle of production. I will post some of her pics of the final masks and her models.

Tarot of Masks

Here are some of the masks that I created for my wife's project. The whole major arcana has 22 cards. We got to 9.
