Teaser!!!

"Ooh! What's that?!" you may be wondering. No, it is not the piece I was working on. If you recall, I was working in clay. However, back to the subject of inspiration, here you have mine. These are the four, main characters of the epic barbarian battle comic, Grune by Zack Giallongo. His art style actively compliments his scripts. When asked to create a trinket, I was at a loss. Then, it hit me! The big, fuzzy fella in the back there? Yeah, the one that looks like he'll wrench your arms from their sockets if you beat him at a game of chess? Well, I don't want to spoil the story, but, in service to this post, I feel I can tell you that he is a Grune. He was the inpiration for the "trinket" I sculpted. Pictures will come in full force in my next post. *^_^*

Tis Done!

My little art project has been finished for about a week, now. As I said before, pictures will be posted once it is home where it belongs.
In relation to my inspiration, well, boys do funny things to me. One fella in particular has gotten my creative thoughts flowing for the first time in a long time! He's the guy mentioned somewhat recently and I am happily flustered whenever I'm with or thinking about him. *sigh* If it wasn't for this blasted "hurricane," I would be with him right now. Alas! Weather happens, and I must stay home tonight. *U_U*
How are all of you enjoying you Labor Days weekend? Our local renaissance/medieval/fantasy fair, King Richard's Faire, is slated to open tomorrow. I go multiple times every year, but it's pricey. If I can score some tickets from friends that work it (I no longer work there), I'll be able to take my guy and some friends along. *^_^* Won't be for a few weeks, though.

Almost There

The little "trinket" I'm working on is very nearly finished! I'm quite excited and surprised at how the hardest part to make came out. What I can't wait for is the response it gets from you fine folks. There will be a blog post of production pictures. However, I won't be posting any pictures until the piece has found its home with the recipient. That should be within the next week. So, hold tight! *^_^*

Inspired

In order to get things done, one often needs some form of inspiration. Saints across boundaries of religions had inspiration from their Gods or Goddesses. Artists, performers and musicians have had their Muses; various sorts of demi-Gods/Goddesses, sometimes even human. Nature, in her many forms has lit a fire beneath many a novice and experienced environmentalist alike.
Whatever, or whomever my inspiration may be, my artistic side has been summoned to create once again. This time, in clay. It has been many a year since I last felt the pliable stuff between my fingers. I am interested to see what emerges from my imagination. A plethora of creatures await my pencil's fall to paper, but what lurks waiting to be borne of sculpey? We shall see. Tonight, I begin.
As soon as I can find my box of clay.
