Do you know what squids like? Most squids are huge fans of the long-running British series “Doctor Who”.
Here is a painting I just wrapped up of the 4th Doctor, Tom Baker.
Acyrlic on canvas, 20” X 24”.
This was a gift for a friend of mine for many belated birthdays and for letting me borrow his Wii for several years. I started it back in January, but had a lot of problems with the face part of the painting, so it actually looked like this for awhile during my frustration period:
Looks like something that might actually happen in the show.
Thankfully, after MANY studies and work, I had a break through, and realized HOW I needed to do this. Here’s an in progress shot:
I plan on having prints made, the odd size does not easily reduce down to a standard size….so it’s going to take me awhile to puzzle that out. I foresee it being a hot seller at Comic Cons, so I certainly will have prints available for the Wizard World con in November.
Funding finally came through for my ARTHOUSE piece, work on the quilt will begin TODAY! HURRAY!
The cutters loved me at the fabric store.
AND I rescued two 6’ X 3’ canvas stretchers from certain destruction (thanks to my friend Uncle Staple aka Chris Nicholas): (first time using my luggage rack, I was kinda proud of myself). This means I can do some REALLY grand scale work. I’m currently researching which type of canvas is best (rolled VS blanket) and collecting the materials needed to stretch a canvas. I already know WHO wants to be painted on these, though. I’ll give you a hint 1) a LOVELY lady from Doctor Who and 2) A LOVELY lady from Game of Thrones.
Stay tuned! Lots of projects in progress and I am so excited to be working on them!
