Bad Taste, BAD PAINTING
Against my better judgement I tried to do something different with this painting......it didn't work, good thing I took a pic with my phone before I ruined it. Look I sketched it out and everything.....maybe I shoulda learned to trace when I was kid. Never learned to color, never learned to trace, never learned to paint......batting a thousand Johnny. To look at my gut you would never guess that I'm a starving artist.
Shoulda learned to color
When I was a kid I hated coloring. The crayons smelled weird and I hated the scratchy paper wrapped around em. So instead of coloring I picked up a marker and started drawing. Rarely did I ever sketch stuff out (really I just started doing that at age 31, after watching Scott Neely do it it clicked......idiot, why did I wait so long). As a kid I just started drawing with whatever and left most things black and white. I think it shows in my work that I never had a firm grasp of color on the page (also most of my art teachers would agree I had no firm grasp of art at all.......maybe thats why I failed ever art class I took, really, all of em, ask Baxter, Ashbridge or Cipriano, they'll tell you.......remember my Ballsac the Jaws of Death sculpture from Gwar or our public service message S.U.K.- Support Unemployed Klowns). So on this one I said, damn you Johnny, you're gonna learn to color and thats all there is to it........then I lost faith again and stopped. Looking back, I like where I was going with it and maybe I shoulda finished it. Stupid art teachers.
Ah screw it, maybe I'll make puppets instead
Was just talking to Kyle a little while ago about how I'm starting to lose faith in my stuff. I got to a point where when I start making something I stop cause I look at the money I throw at a project and figure whats the point. As much as I love sculpting I know there are other artists who do a way better job and see returns on there effort. So like a lot of other projects, I abandoned this one. Another reason I said screw it was when I was at a convention and ran into Brian Dunn (another make up artist me and Jesse made friends with) and he just finished his version of Pumpkinhead. Even though mine was gonna be a bust, his mask was really cool. Oh well, maybe I'll dust this off one day and pick up where I left off, maybe next Halloween when I watch this movie again.
