A hideously deformed post of superhuman size and strength!

Step the first: Sculpey was used to give Toxie his lumpy visage. I actually baked it twice, because I went back and added small bumps. See how that one over his left eye kinda looks like a boob?

Step B: The initial paint job didn't come out well. The green was way too green. He ended up looking like The Hulk if he were in a grease fire. I still had a lot of work to do.

3rd step: I decided to toy with the idea of watering down a mix of brown, yellow, and white acrylic to coat Toxie's skin. This picture shows him after about two coats and some time under a hair dryer. Still a bit too green...


Step IV: After getting his skin to make the color of the water you find at the bottom of a trash can, I set about painting the details. Black lines were used to make the lumps "pop" a bit more. I also gave Toxie his trademark tutu and mop.

My buddy Renzo works for Troma films, and was nice enough to pass my munny onto Lloyd Kaufman. He even took a picture of him holding the little guy. Sadly, as I refuse to do anything with even a shred of expedience, I have lost that picture. I emailed it to myself from my phone MONTHS ago...and it was erased along with a clump of spam. FFFFFFF....

Drawings done while tutoring

I have a habit of sketching while working at my learning center. It's not like I ignore the students, I just sneak it in while they're working on math problems or reading silently. Anyways, I saved some of the ballpoint doodles that I've done in the past few months that I'm fond of. Enjoy.

Walking Potion: ten parts sugar, ninety parts whiskey


Step 1: Intimidate munny doll. Make sure it knows who's boss.

Step 2-probably somewhere in the double digits: wash munny with soapy water, paint with watered-down acrylic, burn the hair off your arm with a hair dryer several times, fumble with sculpey clay before half-assing the hair, bake at 270 for 15 minutes, then take a sharpie to it

Finishing touches: paint hair, add accessories, and put blush on DEM CHEEKS. Package in a custom box and score brownie points.

Did this one last year, kinda partial to him despite the hack paint job.
My job asked me to paint some stuff on the walls, to decorate the classrooms and stuff. This one is Edgar Allen Poe, and it's in the English room. Meh.

Einstein. Science/math room.

New stuff from the past few weeks

No attempts at being witty. Here are the pics. They might be huge because I haven't been able to mess with them; I'm on a loaner computer since the one I've always used is dead. I don't have it in me to say anything else.
