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?

Artist Statement, Part Five

Visiting the kitten again, I found that it was one of the bravest among them. I found two other kittens from the same litter: both healthy-looking, but scared to come outside. The sick kitten, however, walked outside with the big cats. It didn’t wait for the other cats to bring it food; it went out and took it. The state of their hideout and the cats inspired me to do something about it. I am now in the process of contacting humane societies and anyone who will listen to help these cats and find them a good home, especially the brave little kitten. Art is inspirational, and if it wasn’t for that feeling I got, I would not have found those cats and no doubt the infected kitten would die. I hope that my interference will save its life and find it a loving home.

The Candy Man Can

Critique me!

I made this candy a few days ago to create s-curves. It accidentally got too hot, though, and when I put it in a bowl of cold water to cool off, a big glob of it fell in and started sizzling, creating this.

I strongly suggest making this candy at home cos it's super fun and the end results are extermely photogenic.

I got the gold color by putting almost half a bottle of food dye in the mix. You can make it any color you want, though.

Here's the link for the candy recipe, though you have to access it at home.
