I am almost done with my illustration commission. These are the newest pictures. HoseaJoelAmosObadajahJonahMicah Also, I learned how to use a sewing machine. I technically had learned how to use a sewing machine before, but this was the first time I actually made something with it. I made a quilted…
I spent the last two afternoons in the art studio and painted my giraffe helmet. I originally thought about making it really dark brown with white markings, but I kind of like the look of the different lighter tones! It still needs some varnish and the fixtures to make it…
Last Friday was my last day of school for the semester, which means that summer vacation can begin! I had to take 10 exams/tests this semester, so I am definitely ready for a break. Apart from one assignment, I have until mid-October to do non-school things! I will be doing…
I started making a new animal mask two weeks ago. But I didn't just want to make any mask, this time. I was going to make a giraffe, and I was going to make it as a tall helmet. I started with the bare helmet part that would sit directly…
I would like to take the opportunity to recap the year, and thank those of you who followed along with me. Thank you to everyone who supports me, in what ever way. Everyone who comments, likes and shares my work, online or in real life, that really means something to…
I finally finished the elephant mask! I originally made it as a birthday present for a good friend of mine, but since it took so long, it will now be a big birthday/christmas present. I think it's the largest mask I've ever made, but considering that, it's quite comfortable to…
It's cold and rainy these days and it gets dark before 5 PM. This is not the kind of thing to encourage a person. But luckily there is a lot you can do indoors, like studying, or reading, or making costumes. I finally could bring my mannequin out from the…
I've been working on this mannequin project over the course of the last month. I will use it to design costumes and display them once they are finished. A couple of days ago, The mannequin got its burlap "skin" coat, and today I painted that coat light grey. When that…
I am a few days late with this, but here are some pictures of the dorm living room. It's still missing some pillows and some new pictures on the wall, but apart from that, this project is basically done. :) Also, the rhino mask is now varnished and done. I…
I was able to go and do some work in the art studio, for the first time in a few weeks. I am painting my rhino mask and an oil painting of tomato plants. Both of these will need more work, but not until they are dry. I'm also doing…
I was in Italy for another 3 days before returning home. We went to a Canyon to do some rock climbing on the last day. Apart from that we just enjoyed the sun :) Now that I'm back in Germany, I went to Ewersbach for a few days. I'm moving…
My exams are going well, with a couple more to go. But in the mean time, I am also getting some work done in the art department. (Not without studying for school, but you know what I mean) The basic shape of my papermaché rhino mask is done. Now it…
I am still working on the oil painting and am probably half done. I'm starting to get a hang of the rough canvas material I am painting on. (I had a smooth material before, but I've used Burlap for the last couple paintings, just to try the texture.) And I…
Today I finished the lion mask! I originally wanted it to be a male lion, but during painting, I decided to turn it into a lioness. It has a strap on it and a thin, black cloth behind the eyes. That way, you can wear it and see your environment…
I was down with a cold for a week, so I was confined to my room and the campus area. But today I was better, so I got in the car and went to buy some necessary tools and supplies, among those a new hammer. With the hammer, I could…
