With the weather so nice these days, you would think I would be out and about doing some landscape paintings. But this is a lie! Because this photo is from a year ago, but hopefully, it will inspire me to go back out there instead of locking myself in my office, painting on the computer in the dark.
I think this was taken over in Eaton Canyon last summer. I actually do not recall what I was painting, I just know it must not have been very good since it was so difficult for me to get back in to the rhythm. And I probably threw this painting away. But it does provide a nice photograph, don't you think?
I think this was of some machine someone was using to tear through the Null Void sky in the episode "Voided". There were 3 different variations of this particular background but I decided to pick this one because it was nice and gaudy. Who doesn't love bright beams of light and swirls in the sky?
Per request of some people, I am now back to putting up some color BGs from Ben10. I was hoping I would have uploaded some more personal work, but that didn't happen. I'm sure people are tired of looking at pictures of my cats.. These two BGs are from the episode "Paradox" where there was a time traveling monster who burned thru or aged any surface he came into contact with. I mean, what else could these BGs be about?
I need some photographs in my living room above my couch. I was thinking about blowing this photo up and partnering it with another somewhat abstract glacier photo. Haven't decided which one yet, but ideally, I want them both to be of a vertical orientation to somewhat create perpendicular angles with the couch and crown molding. But this is the original photo, I have to figure out at which angle I want to rotate it. Oooooh, pretty blue and brown!
Ho hum. This is the closest thing to a painting I have done in a long while and alot of this is simply Photoshop work. Hopefully, I'll have more time to paint while on hiatus.
Some of you may know, I purchased a 120mm Holga camera out of curiosity. In case you aren't familiar with this camera, its a cheap, plastic medium format camera originally made in Hong Kong. Because it's not the most sophisticated and durable piece of equipment out there, a lot of light can leak in through the film. However, in it's own right, this cheap little thing has created its own genre titled "Lomography" consisting of "happy mistakes" once the film is developed and revealed - ooOOoohh how foreign! (for more info go to www.lomography.com). It's always a nice surprise when I receive my roll of film and photos back from Samy's! As you can see, it doesn't have an automatic way to advance the film, therefore, one is able to take multiple exposures on a single frame. Fortunately, my camera is equipped with the oh-so sophisticated color flash/gels, creating some nice haunting images. There is a lot of vignetting around the image but it does create a nice halo around the subject. I do have to admit I was struggling with the shutter at first and wasn't advancing the film properly so that is why you see some images cut off and placed on to the next photo. This is just my first roll... just wait until I waste even more money, the more obsessed I get...
Here I Finally Am!
I've finally set up a blog site. I guess this is a good way to put out some stuff I've done and to get me to produce stuff as well. Right now I've been doing mostly oils and making necklaces and pendants of my friends' pets. I think I'll call it "Glamor Pendants by Bec" in homage to Deb from Napoleon Dynamite. Soldering is my new thing I like to do late at night. Makes me feel like I'm watching T2 when i liquefy the lead-free solder. Oh yeah, I have alot of free time having been out of a full time job since August... I'm just about to run out of unemployment checks.. who knew? Anyways, that means I (should of) had more time to pursue my non-animation interests. Check back later for my late nite soldering, poorly made necklaces, and a few other odd paintings.
