I'll be visiting a good friend of mine for the first time in person at the end of spring all the way in Vancouver, I'm very excited. Part of the deal for getting me there since its a really expensive trip was that in exchange for making this poster for the show said friend is organizing.
Really fucking proud of this poster re-iginited my art making passion this year properly and I'm really happy to share it finally. I think this came out absolutely amazing happy i can share i publicly now. fun fact is that except for two photos the majority of the pictures used in this collage were taken in my room
If you're curious about the show and are in the Vancouver area stop by! heres some information from the organizer:
Made for a gift exchange for a friend in a discord at the beginning of the year, the song was her choice, along with the colors, and the tree imagery was also intentional. i ordered a frame and a poster copy of this which shipped at a 24 x 36 inch size iirc.
A really fun project and showed that i could make these music based collages without necessarily being a huge fan of the artist behind it, and seeing my work printed for the first time was something super special.
Part of my old art backlog, the updated Lampface mask I put together. Halloweekend 2022 was uneventful but i felt extremely hot, powerful, and scary in this, i really felt like I awakened my innner slasher -- my inner Pyramid-Head lol.
I have this sorted out below the cut by the updating-process(see other posts with the mask via #lampface tag), then Halloweekend, Then Post Halloween because i felt like i didn't get enough good pics
Starting with a pic I took after i first re-did the lighting apparatus from last year where i just had shitty LEDs taped to a paper face mask. TBH luckily the inside of the mask and the straps for wearing the thing were still in good shape, i only added more padding for the chin and the top so it rested easier on my face(amazingly i could see completely fine though I definitely got woozy from mild CO2 inhalation i think when i wore it out. Also including two small doodles i made of Lampface/Me in the mask just to kinda get back into the headspace. Also showing off the old paintjob before i went hard and fixed it up.
Next-up we have some other bits and bobs, details on the gloves i also updated for the costume this year, i had extra LEDs that i strung around the hand which were kinda inconvenient but idk. i also think the fake blood mix i made this year with my paint turned out phenomenal on the gloves and mask itself. i did a lot more care to make it feel crusty, dried and cracking . the interior of the mask itself was also just as visible as last time but with more comfort and way cooler lights lol.
here we have my fit for the costume on Halloween, the matching purple choker was a really good touch IMO. ultimately all i did on Halloween was walk around down town and creep out drunk people and get off on the freaked out attention. I think its a really good accent piece to other fashion things and this coming Halloween I'm gonna try and be a lot more creepy and ALOT more horny tbh i was too restrained this year, and overheated too much, i also have way better wardrobes for this year :>
Last bit here -- i have ones that are tits out and way hot as shit. but i just wanted to take some hot pics with one of my fave accessories. I really feel like this is one of the biggest projects i haven't shared besides a painting from 2020 i never posted.
anyways enjoy the pics I'm trying to catch my backlog up BIG STUFF INCOMING THANKS FOR READING :>!!!!
it's on my to-do list to post my art back log since November/October, been hella fucking wiped from this new job and still trying to figure out a "Life/Work/Art/Hobby" balance Expect atleast 24 art things on this blog this year though unless I get hit by a car or something
Need to paint the inside black so I can see because it's toooo bright
Need to get a second light source (headlamp probably)and some clear cellophane (Purple by popular demand)
Need to paint the outside a different coulor aswell maybe a light coulor or a dark one idk...
The strap broke so need to connect new head band parts and some hook points on the sides of the mask
Need to make a chest pocket thingy so the battery packs for the lights can be supported... Gonna take an old bra or something maybe and add a pocket to the front or just make a bib for them...
