Beauty In Death

Not really feeling it today. Just tell me what you think.

Late Update

Umm, so I guess yesterday there were notes about surrealism or something. I have a few ideas, and even though I'm hesitant to post them here, I guess I have to cos these posts are worth points. X_x

I'm thinking about recreating scenes from movies or books. The first thing that comes to mind is recreating the end scene of Fight Club, where Marla and the Narrator are holding hands. I have a few other ideas along those lines as well. the only thing that's going to be difficult is going to be the buildings in the background.

Also, I'm going to Vegas the day after Xmas for six days. I'm hoping to get some good shots there.

Coversheet 2.0

Okay, so I haven't changed my coversheet for this year yet. Everyone's seen the last one and it's pretty lame compared to what I'm capable of, so I made a new one. It's pretty much the background of this blog with the banner on it. Simple, but I think it goes with everything I have. What do you guys think?

Artist Statement, Part Six

Artists perceive the world differently. We are concerned with the “perfect shot”, of course, but we also connect with our art. Art without meaning is useless, and while the pictures of the president, the soldiers, or the child are important, the meanings and emotion behind them are priceless. So we lie in wait. Maybe a block away, or maybe right around the corner. We may have been there for merely a second, or for all our lives, but rest assured, we are there and we have been waiting for this moment.

Off With Her Head!

Before you guys comment, please note that it's the ceramic piece you're looking at and not the photography, so don't comment on how crappy the images are. I'm fully aware. :)

Did this in ceramics. It took FOR-EV-ER, but I think it was worth it.

It's a teapot based off of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. The flamingo is the spout.

My favorite part is the rose on top. My least favorite part is probably the color of the glaze on the flamingo and the frosty black color of the whole thing. But ceramics has a severely limited selection of glazes that aren't brown, so I was stuck with this.

Overall, I really like it. What do you guys think?
