Monotypes from Life, Indirectly

To be clear, if one is making a monotype from life, working from a an inanimate subject like a still life doesn’t pose many problems. working from a live landscape is more challenging in that one requires a press(if one is using a press) to be nearby, and working from the live model is only problematic if the model becomes uncomfortable since the process can be a stop and start, dragged out thing. The monotypes below were made from life “once removed”, in that I drew the model in a sketchbook first and then created the monos from the drawings.

Lazy Feline Hiccups and Passes Gas

This is for my fellow immature cat people. *giggles*

I dunno, the hiccup bounce seemed real anyway. My excuse for posting such drivel: I can’t be held accountable for my actions as excessive heat and humidity is making me delirious.

I’m so tired I could…………………………………………… n’t do much of anything really.  So don’t expect much from this post, ok?  Good.  Being up front about things is the way to go, don’t you think?  Me, too.  In fact, I like to theorize about how much improved life would be if humanity would implement a strict “All Honesty, All The Time” policy (provided the adjustment period friction didn’t ignite into a massive, unstopable blaze). But like I say, I’m tired, so I don’t currently have much to say on the subject. Suffice it to say I like to know where I stand–to be properly oriented.

Wanna see some details of the above painting?  Good.  I’ll show you some.  Just follow the jump. Read more »

This clip from Azumanga Daioh makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Yes, I watch anime. So what?

Today I Need This

Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags , , , , on April 24, 2009 by ssstephg


wearable “Sophia” cat mask by Carrie Rouillard
paper mache
Sans Souci Studios website
and the etsy shop where you can buy Rouillard’s handmade masks

OK, what I really need is a break. The last few days have been a highlight to what is turning out to be a sucktastically rotten spring. Plumbing trouble, phone trouble, the nagging leftovers from a tenacious head/chest cold and a nasty case of poison ivy in a highly inconvenient spot have left me feeling like I just want to crawl under the bed and hide for a month. But if it’s impossible to avoid all the crap, and the raw, itchy slab of meat masquerading as my left buttcheek tells me it is, then maybe I could settle for hiding behind this gorgeous handmade cat head. One part cat + one part alien via the pearlescent color=total awesomeness. I’m certain that were I to don this guise my life would improve exponentially. I don’t know exactly how it would work, but still, I’m convinced. At the very least, I’d be entertained by the looks I’d get wearing it at Ye Old Stop & Shop… that and maybe it would muffle my nonstop whining.

Check out Rouillard’s website and shop to see more wonderful mask designs.
