Happy Monday !!!

This week I started a new Chuck e Cheese project. It’s a paper mache replica of a logo from their “bowler hat chuck” era. I’ve been using junk mail, glossy mod podge, and glue on cardboard. I love the process of carving out the details in the paper and paste. It almost feels like clay the more layered the piece gets. 

my plan is to keep building layers until i like it's shape, then to add color with maybe acrylic paint? I considered spray paint, but the control of hand-painting just feels right. 

As far as painting goes, I started and made progress on some projects.

Some of these are super rough and were just an exercise in getting the idea on canvas. 

The first, Niphetos is inspired by a scene in the Twilight Zone episode “The Piano”. The episode is one of my favorites, and the scene alone always breaks my heart. I’ve wanted to make paint something in its memory for a while, and I’m glad I am now. 


The second, I want to be an homage of sorts to my appreciation for quarter machines. More gum, candy, chewing lips, and toys to be added.

The third is a half-painted doodle.

The fourth and fifth are older pieces I keep re visiting but can't seem to full -send into calling them finished. The 4th is untitled still, but the dog in the puffy collar is "Eugene"

Also, I'm nearly finished with the untitled childhood art piece. I added some little details to the borders and between art in the background. I still need to add a white gradient and touch up some of the doodles. I feel like I should add more detail to the character in the center, but almost like how simple it is. I don't know yet.

I’ve loved working on this new paper mache project so much, I’ll probably continue working on it in my down time. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it, but I won’t give it a hard deadline. 

I’ll spend remaining time on works in progress.

That’s all for now


Thanks for stopping by
