This year's pumpkins

Today, finally carved the pumpkins.

And the foliage was really amazing, too.



Halloween for me = the Marauders, so my personal pumpkin is pretty much always Marauders flavored, since at least a few years back.








My father bought one, but wasn't going to carve it. Lame. So i made a two-faced pumpkin.

First is the "Scopophilia" diptych:


And the first contact sheet for the current "light" assignment (the last one all the way on the right in the very top row, i really want to make into a print).

And these are all the current litho prints. First is Actaeon, again:

The Actaeon counteretch:

When printing Ammit, there was one that i ran through twice to try and get the darks to go darker, and it made a kind of double effect, which i thought was cool enough to keep the print around & give it a name.

And Ammit:

And the most recently completed one, Skadi, from Norse mythos/religion:


And some sketchbook stuff:

Ammit is finally printed after a lot of difficulty, upset, & a third, insanely hot etch. (The above picture is not what the stone ended up looking like, after the third etch.)





And if anyone ever finds this mug, i want it:

First lithography print

First litho print; using an aluminum litho plate. Printed on Stonehenge paper.

It's difficult to tell (i guess i didn't plan it out as well as i thought/ought), but it's Actaeon.





Am still fighting with my stone (a different, larger, heavier one). Can't seem to get it level at all. And our second print is due this Friday (the first one was due just this past Friday). mfw:

Stress is fun, right?

The final Alumni Show Closing in the old CCAT building was the thirteenth (this past Tuesday). This is what i put in it. I'm upset about the fact that they're razing the old building, but it was nice to be reminded that the new building's "inaugural show" would be the Alumni Show.


Here's my camera for Photo. It's old; from either the 70s or 80s. The lens i bought used because the camera's own lens was broken (the focus). It doesn't count out the frames, so i need to make tick marks whenever i (hopefully) take a shot. Won't know until Tuesday if anything came out (& only then if i manage to develop the film correctly).
