about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Humanoid

October 27, 2004

The bust is slowing taking the shape of a human, or at least a humanoid type creature. This first picture was taken after working on it today for an hour and a half. It’s not clear from the angle of the picture, but I worked mostly on making the neck better. However, you might notice the face has slimmed down a bit from where it was on Monday.

This is another hour’s worth of work. Obviously, the most noticable change is that the head has a top now. I also worked a bit more on the neck (mostly in the back) and the face has slimmed down even more than in the last photo. I think the eyes might be too high still, but I’ll do some more checking on Monday before I get started again. The head is also positioned forward more than I’d like, so I am considering some pretty major “surgery” to correct it.

Coming soon… ears, hair, and finishing those eyes!

    I’m assuming this thing is solid, but thought I would ask if it has a hollow center. Will you fire it?

    It (she?) is hollow with a clay “frame” on the inside of the torso to support the shoulders and neck. If you’re familiar with coil-building pots, this process is very similar. Unfortunately, I am required to fire this piece and finish it with either glaze or some other treatment. Since glaze has a way of ruining all my projects, I’ll be fighting for some “other treatment” until the end.

    So you’ll fire it. Hmmm, very interesting. What will you do with “her”? Put her on a pedestal in your foyer? That would be fabulous!

    Oddly enough, the first thing that came to my mind was the Lionel Richie video for “Hello” where the girl is blind and makes an image of him. Not to say that this looks like it was created by a blind person. I guess I just don’t get out much as far as art is concerned and that’s all I got. That and the fact that I have way too many random 80s moments swirling around my head.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
