fears & phobias

fears & phobias

09_06_0I was never able to commit to a journal page ala Teesha Moore (see links) as my neck would spasm and tingle after five minutes of any handwriting. But after my first acupuncture treatment I created this monstrousity! it is all about phobias and some of my own fears, which are so absurb it’s funny!

the images are mostly from Artsyfartsy Queen, some Nancy Baumiller’s crowabout collage sheets and the mouths are from the lovely scarlett lipped KBP when we shopped at Momoberry in LA and she was looking delightfuly ghoulish while holding a Hello Kitty Koromi doll. K does not have teeth like that-i just got the spray can out and ‘enhanced’ her grin. apologies K, if you ever see this!

halloween is coming!

created for the Flickr group ‘Pointy Hats and Wings’ my witch fairy is ready to learn your fate thru her Ouija board. Ask anything! Ouija knows all. The group is a collection of some serious pointy hat artists, especially my favorite, TumbleFish, aka Marsha Jorgensen. The admin is the ever lovely and creative Nancy Baumiller who has taken many of us art witches under her wing.

I spent only a couple of hours on this peice which included cut & paste, scanning, hand coloring, scanning, photo shop and more scanning. I increased the contrast to bring out her ghastly complexion and make the Ouija float beneath her hands.

Today marked the first day of Autumn but you would never know it as it was 93 degrees here in Portland, Oregon. It is hard to wear my pointy hat when it is that hot!
