I'm Not Dead Yet

I am many things and while I may age I continue to find many things I enjoy.

What is Halloween without a new makeup look from me? The end of the world as we know it. So last night I got inspired to try one of the #neonskullmakeup looks from @vocallyshook after seeing the images and the @youtube video. It came out okay. I think I may try it again with Water Activated Body paint next time for sharper lines and brighter colors. I had @kromestudio give it a tweak for #kromehalloween #kromestudio but here is my #halloweenmakeup with #halloweennails by KISS #happyhalloween #skullmakeup #skull #helloglosshalloween #letsgetspooky #skeletonmakeup #facepaint #makeupartist #makeuplooks #neon #spider #bones #bonehead #hauntingbeauty #practicemakesperfect #easyhalloweenmakeup (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqDckcJ6zn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spent so much time getting #thejoker ready to go out to the @dovercomiccon that my #harleyquinn retro rockabilly / summer vacation was lacking but with the ridiculous heat and chance of thunderstorms I was worried no makeup would hold up outside. Still it is long past time I posted here. #kiss keep it simple - stupid. As my #puddin likes to say Weather is Here ! I wish you were beautiful #jokersharley #cosplay #classic #comicconvention #cosplaygirl (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSo9mZ8rfeH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monday morning detox brings a smile. The #shaman can smile behind her mask. The worst is behind us and we the human race have survived. Perhaps the #outbreak was #motherearth resetting herself and cleaning her system in a massive purge of all the toxins mankind has thrust upon her. The air is still dangerous but a breeze freshens it and the sky can be seen as the pollution thins. The waters are still red and full of trash. The coral reefs are dying but the fish have not been harvested as cruelly. The land is once more green and growing. So perhaps every beginning has its roots in an end. #postapocalyptic #wasteland #dreadlocks #cyberpunk #tankgirl #madmax #beyondthunderdome #makeupartist #makeupchallenge (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAAANUJuh6/?igshid=yyuxre5erhm4

Rise up my people and hear my tale. This was the day that out ancestors recall well. There was a dark time when men hid away. During that time the earth changed. The air became fresher, green things bloomed everywhere, the waters flowed sweet mer and animals walked where men once ruled. People hid away frozen with fear and forbidden to meet in large numbers. They may ask Was this #fiction Was it a #postapocalyptic tale of #furturistic #flightiffantasy like #madmax #watershipdown or #animalfarm Others may cry out that there was #war #uprisings and #dictatorship - Yes there were but this is no work of fiction. There were shortages of food and fuel. Jobs were lost and the were protest. But it was the rumor that turned to a joke that proved to be an awful truth that killed so many. As in #waroftheworlds it was a 🦠 #virus that turned into a #pandemic. It was a #germ that stopped the world as we knew it Not a Gun! Not a man! Not a meteor from outer space. Think on this as you venture forth asking “Is it safe to take off my mask?” #shaman #wasteland #prophet #soothsayer #twelvemonkeys #contagion #outbreak (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3M89QpoNx/?igshid=1bth7ygvczg54

The green growing things have returned to the barren lands but it is a veil blurring the fallen trees and scorched earth. The air is still to toxic and full of poisons and the river runs red like a fountain of blood. Do not be fooled my children. Heed these words. When you look outside know that we stand at the door but it is our next step that will either Save us or Doom Us as a species. If the Land dies there will no food and we shall starve. If the air dies what then shall we breath? If the water is impure then we shall thirst. Remember well my words- We need the Earth Air and Water to survive. And they need us to not be destroyed. We are our own worst enemy for we destroy the very things that keep us alive. #postapocalyptic #roadwarrior #cybergoth #dreadlocks #wasteland #thunderdome #madmax #scavenger #mystic #makeup #cosplay #masks (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzLFblpd-Z/?igshid=1069r3hjbhsy2

My proportions are so off on this one but it is one that I can show you a side by side on from the #fleerultraxmen set I think this is a 1995 set but since I don’t have the cards anymore this is the #xmen Blue Twsm card #96 and the card does not say who the artist is @marvel @ray_lago #gambit #gambitxmen #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #coloredpencil #coloredpencildrawing #throwbackthursday (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSlKqVpUN0/?igshid=3gt5vlk5s9gg

Masque number 2 is coming along much slower due to having other plans. This one is meant to be more generic however it is still more feminine so I will finish this and start on a more masculine form next. Thankfully I have a glass mannequin head that will work well as a base form. I still need to back these with a sturdy base for straps and then air brush them a bit more. #art #wip #craft #mask #foamclay #eviltedsmith #molds (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNNsfTpUHt/?igshid=e5wp23cxvw

Tried to replicate @nelson_faro_decastro #havok card 107 from the 1995 #fleerultraxmen1995 #tradingcard #xmen #xfactor #comicbookart My art done in #coloredpencildrawing does not bring the richness of Nelson’s art but I tried and working on the head angle and lighting. #waybackwednesday #theowbackthursday #tradingcartart #practicemakesperfect #practicepracticepractice (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLuVMgpp0K4/?igshid=7p2ub5jpookw

I always love @joejuskoart and was happy I was able to do a decent job replicating his #fleerultraxmen card from the 1986 set of #xmen #beast #hankmccoy with my limited #coloredpencildrawing #art #marvelcomics #comicbookart #tradingcardart #pencildrawing #sketch #blue (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhVHk9p1LA/?igshid=sq4s8wgqfm6f

Yet another day of art recreation #fleerultraxmen1995 #fleerultraxmen1994 #fleerultraxmen #mojoworld This #57 from the 1996 Fleer Ultra X-men set and I apologize for not knowing the artist. Versus happy with my colors and proportions but you can see I changed her face a bit. Still not bad for something I drew 24 years ago...yes folks it is that old. I keep my #coloredpencildrawing #art because it is still some of my best work. #comicbookart #tradingcartart #dazzler #xmen #practicemakesperfect (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhJPPwpmjq/?igshid=3hv937xf9i5l

Yet another attempt by me to replicate @borisvallejoart from the #fleerultraxmen1995 set with #jeangrey #phoenix #xmen #xmencomics #comicart #tradingcardartist #tradingcardart #coloredpencil #coloredpencildrawing Not bad but so much I see needs improving #borisvallejo (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcUk_HJJtu/?igshid=1i5v7bdhchghc

More Art. I enjoyed the challenge of replicating @borisvallejoart from the 1993 #fleerultraxmen card set. The muscles and the lighting made trying to keep proportions accurate very fun but challenging. #bishop was a tricky one but I feel like I did okay pulling it off #coloredpencildrawing #coloredpencil #pencilsketch #xman #xmenart #art #artchallenge @marvel @fleercards #borisvallejo (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMPBJpJ7tW/?igshid=6spozc54khwb

More random comic inspired art from days gone by. #vampirella #fromthedarkness #shi by Bill Tucci and a random monster I saw the profile of and fell in love with. I am a decent artist when replicating others art - but not so much on my own. Trying to get back into it and improve my proportions and shading. #coloredpencildrawing #comcbookart #coloredpencil #coloredpencils #sketches #sketchbook #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencilart #comics (at Selbyville, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHazzhJ-XD/?igshid=z2rgpc57yrs4
