Honeydew Bubble Tea Fairy

I didn't take as many in progress pictures as I usually do since I was really determined to finish her, but this is what I got:






Then she was finished and Paige came over to take the pro pictures.







Honeydew is now for sale in my Etsy shop and tomorrow The Junkman's Daughter in Little Five Points with the rest of the Glam Fairies! Here's the description I wrote for her.

GLAM FAIRY #9: HONEYDEW

I was attempting to slurp the dregs of a highly delicious honeydew bubble tea when I noticed this thing crawling up the straw. I nearly choked to death on a tapioca pearl.

“Honeydew” is doll number nine in my Glam Fairies series. She's about four inches or so tall in her bubble tea cup (somewhat counting her hair.) She is sculpted from a mix of Sculpey III and Studio Sculpey over a strong metal armature. Her pale green skin has been lightly blushed with Pebeo heat set ceramic paints then detailed in acrylics. Her hair is hot pink Tibetan lamb’s wool and her dark mauve eyes are made of glass. Honeydew's dress and lacy pink knickers are made from recycled fabric scraps, her iridescent wings from "Purple Flash" Angelina Fusible film and jeweler's wire. On the nape of her neck underneath her hair is signature red kiss of Quarley, which identifies her as a one-of-a-kind edition to the Glam Fairies line. Honeydew comes inside of her colorful plastic "crazy bubble tea" cup, complete with faux honeydew bubble tea with Sculpey tapioca pearls and a balled up napkin stuck to the side of the cup. She can be taken out of the cup to look at but she refuses to let go of the straw. Perhaps Honeydew was formed from the bubble tea itself, or perhaps she is merely guarding the tapioca pearls. Either way I am not going to bother her.

It's the Hour of the Wolf and I Don't Wanna Die!

Hello. So Paige just posted a bunch of photos on Facebook of our Halloween costumes this past weekend. Since all of them were frickin brilliant, here is all of them in the order they were posted.


I wanted her to take these pictures for Martin Millar, author of the book I am reading, Curse of the Wolf Girl (the sequel to Lonely Wolf Girl.) His books feature punk rock werewolves with colorful hair and were also the inspiration for this costume.








Hutch as Bob Dylan.

Here's a disturbing crossover fanfic slash couple for you--David Kessler the American Werewolf and Scott Howard the Teen Wolf.


Haha, Teen Wolf drinks PBR.


What a hipster.


Me looking quite mannish and retarded.


Stiles the Wolf Buddy.


He matches the decor.


DAVID!


Look at these fucking werewolf hipsters.



Another crossover story: the lycanthrope that attacked David and Jack on the moors was in fact Teen Wolf!

The cool kids.

The butt.


Hey kids, don't do drugs!

"Sean, I think there are some hooligans in the park again."

What a couple of jackasses.


80's werewolf movie smackdown DERP!


So vicious!


Precious kitty!

An American Werewolf in Atlanta

Hello there. It's been forever since I posted here. I've made lots of stuff since. When I left off I was trying to figure out a style to make my illustrations for entry in the Trader Joe's Safety calendar competition. I didn't win, but hey, I tried my best. Here's what the illustrations I submitted ended up looking like.




Perhaps they are a bit too gritty for the Trader Joe's aesthetic, but I wouldn't have them any other way. I like the new style I've been messing around with and I'll be sure to use it again in the future with my own stuff.

I also at some point in time made another pair of almost-traditional fairy wings. They were super quick ones I call my "Earth Angel" wings, probably one of a kind since I made them for my friend Devon while watching a movie. They came out pretty nice though for something so fast and easy to make. You can sort of see them in these pictures Paige took of her.




I basically only made them because Devon was in town and we had not yet had her pose for a photoshoot. I'm still working on my own pair of wings and there will be more photoshoots on the way, but I have a feeling the ones in the nearest future are going to have a different theme to them--werewolves! Yep, I started my costumes early this year. I've already made some pretty decent Jack Goodman and David Kessler costumes from my favorite movie of all time, An American Werewolf in London. Since Paige is a short zombie lover with side swoosh bangs that likes to complain and I am a tall lumbering carnivorous lunatic with messy curls and a tendency for nudity we've always known that we are Jack and David.





I'm really surprised we never thought about this costume before. We dressed as the boys on the moors for the Little Five Points Halloween Parade this past Saturday. Our makeup was a strange mixture of drag and gore. I had never tried doing any FX makeup before so it was fun trying to come up with a way to do Jack's massive face and neck wound.



I ended up building around a rectangular neck wound appliance by Woochie called "chomped" with lots of liquid latex, pieces of sheer pantyhose, and of course fake blood. Here's my version of Rick Baker's makeup.



Reflection in a mirror, of course. Like some sort of undead Myspace profile pic.



Though the Jack makeup definitely got the most attention, I thought my David getup came out alright too.


Mmmm, that medium rare Tazmanian Devil burger was so worth the wait for the Vortex. A happy werewolf was I.


I really like the wig I found for this, it really completed the awkward young Jewish werewolf look.


Here's a shot of my dude makeup that completely fooled half the people at The Junkman's Daughter.


They had no idea who I was and I hang out with these people all the time. It's amazing how a few carefully placed marks with an eyeliner pencil can completely change peoples' perception of gender.

Sexy.


Rawr! That's me with the amazing Japanese poster for the movie, which is now in my living room. And here's a final shot of me looking lost.


I'm glad there's at least one shot of the feet so far. I can't wait wear them with my other costume as well, which will be a more involved punk-rock-shewolf or basically me as a werewolf. I'll be trying that one out for the first time this Saturday (which is of course, a full moon.) Will post pictures as soon as I have them!
