Alas I'm back!~ Sarah-Raccoon that is

Just a quick update from me, Sarah-Raccoon. Busy with college applications and portfolios...it's so much work, and confusion, and just ugh. But I hope I get into SMFA (look it up lol). Busy with life so I had to depart from the blog for w.e. reasons....@_@ but I'm back. And...with a picture~ this was my last minute portfolio piece, which turned out pretty good. :D

One is a woman, and one is er...a woman? According to my friend it's not a woman lmfao. It's an it I guess. lmfao xD
Hahaha and another obnoxious watermark...>>;;'

Also I gotta say, I love panda's recent post. I love crazy perspectives.

Butt.

Who was it.... someone kept saying the text behind the guy looked like ears. Ready, Steady, Go for the song by L'arc en Ciel? No, I just like track racing poses not pretty boy gothy japanese one hit wonder bands. I'm sorry Giraffe o_o

I'm spending four days on Biology questions, when I realized I could hardly get through a question on fly sex I knew right then and there studying would need to increase ten fold. Woeeeee.... Woeeeee.... Waaaiiiillll

So here's a butt anyhow.

[Some Witty Title Goes Here]

FINALLY!!! After half a year, my sculpture is in the showcase.... BEHOLD: "организм и дружок" (read as: organeezm ee drudjhok, meaning: bodily systems and his little friend)


So.... now it can collect a thick layer of dust behind the dirty glass with the broken bottom lock.. Who know what could happen to it there. It might need to defend its post from the invasions of The Evil Flog Creeps or the Scary Georgia O'keefe "Flower"-looking Sculptures next door... well, needless to say, it'll have many adventures and jump many hurdles to survive its stay behind the looking glass (minus looking)...

The mind numbing forces of the imagination have been poking at my measly brain matter and have suggested that I explore the ideas of this piece in some sort of series in different mediums.. perhaps a marble sculpture... perhaps not...

Maybe something nice of it... We'll see...

Ragh.

It was supposed to be a portrait bust, but I get ill from hearing those sort of assignments. I screwed up on the face, I didn't take into account how the facial features would look in different light sources. Sometimes a highlight makes the nose look like Gonzo the Muppet's... beh. I had fun with the lion/dragon face on the back though! It was painted later on, sorta horribly decent (has a bit of gruesome rotting meat quality to the texture, blame RE4). Anywho... here it is

Oh right, the whole thing collapsed before it was fired, but once again Papa Jung came to the rescue and fixed it up. As usual.

Storage.

Throwing some stuff from DA over to here. I need to find a way to make illustrations presentable in the gallery. I might try to make my own picture frames out of plexiglass and twigs/leaves, but god knows how that'll turn out *bugs swarm out of the folliage while hot gluing*

ohhh! TEKKONKINKREET: BLACK AND WHITE, hands down the most interesting comic I've read in some time. I kept delaying to buy a copy of it, it's a crime against humanity... I know. Opened up the first chapter and felt dizzy from all the contorted perspective and wobbly lined characters but once you sort of begin to delve into it... well it's like nothing you'll ever see

There's this great panel toward the beginning where Black is skidding down a street you get a  real sense of movement right on the page (I suppose it'd be copyright infringement but...)

Yeah, I'm reeeally into it now. I feel like putting up a cat montage... yea... let's do that then: Cats in Blankets

The Onion

If you've never heard of The Onion, it's a wonderfully satirically funny fake-ish newspaper. It also does funny-fake-news youtube videos, so I shall proceed to post some that amuse me.



"Boy Finds Own Real-Life E.T."

That one has a new spin on ET with some Spanish involved.



"Finding Masculine Halloween Costumes For Your Effeminate Son"

The comment about vampires made me laugh.


That's about it. I shall scurry away now.

Fishman Teapot

Finished the cute little teapot project for the morning Sculpture class. I finally had the freedom to pretty much work on whatever concept I wanted (although the occasional Papa Jung comment sometimes makes you feel like a failure :P). Here it is (courtesy of Amy for taking the awesome photos!)
It's a fish man, sitting on a rock with coral and sea anemone:

Yeah, well you know. I've come to the conclusion that a freshly opened bag of terracotta is perhaps the greatest thing in existance at this point. It was so easy to work with, and had a great smell! I'm still sort of bitter over the fact that our class is the only class that uses reconstituted leftover crappy crap crap clay, so it was nice to steal some new clay from the other room. El Creepy Greco actually helped slice the tea pot in half when I needed to scoop out its insides (I totally forgot the function of a teapot, it needs a cavity doesn't it...) and all alterations to it went smoothly. I'm just genuinely happy that I've made something out of clay that doesn't completely suck.

Unfortunately I don't think the teapot will be functional, the spout is too short and when you fill it with water and pour it looks like a fish voraciously spewing out stomach acid. The makeshift cork also doesn't stopper too well. This is better off being a fountain sculpture mounted to a wall or something... maybe in a monastary. How fitting.

maybe I'll fire it with some textured matte glaze or something... and ruin it
