    WoW mostly

    I’ve been in a gaming mood lately, which is unusual for me. I’ve managed to level 2 times in the last week, which sounds lame but the gap from 85-86 and 86-87 is a hefty one to cross. I’m now only 3 levels away from cap, which is really exciting. I’m very much a mood…

    Makeup: Day 4/5

    I didn’t do anything on Friday due to my face starting to break out and rebel – today I’m waiting for my elf makeup to arrive and my wanna-be migraine to go away before I do anything that requires a large amount of concentration. The plan however, is to play with a lot of purple…

    2013: The year I inevitably become a makeup artist (and have so much fun)

    It’s funny how life kinda throws things at you that then propel you into something you kinda wanted to take up, but didn’t have a huge need to. Without spoiling anything – I need to learn how to do a lot more makeup, a lot more things with it, and I need to learn it…

    In which I buy lots more makeup

    We’ve been working on preproduction for Hendstrom a lot lately – I’ve drawn out some costume alterations, put together a list of costume thingies I need – and, as you can see in the last post, started trying crazy stuff with eyeliner. I’ve decided to invest in tattoo pens instead, because 10 minutes in the…

    Caution: First Attempt at Character Makeup

    First attempt at some kind of fantasy character makeup – using eyeliner and eyeshadow for everything, except some red lipstick. I know it sucks, but you have to start somewhere.

    Quilting. (or busy kiery is busy)

    I’m thinking I’m going to try and do a mystery quilt this fall/winter. So far, the rest of the year looks like this: Work Film for two (going on 3?) web series Read some fantasy books on my list (or if all else fails, comic books – I did this last year when I was working,…

    A rose in armor

    This is the progression – from concept to finish (with a blurry note in between) of my latest painting. It’s 6×6 Acrylic on a gallery wrapped canvas. It’s a weird image, two things that don’t really go together, but this is how I’ve pictured myself for most of my life – a rose hidden inside…

  • My Portfolio!

    My Portfolio!

    I’ve been needing (and meaning) to make a portfolio site to show off my work – both creatively and industrially for a while now. I’ve had a barely-used subdomain for uploading art to for a while that served as a gallery, kinda. I use flickr, so the wordpress-installed-sub was almost never used. Last night, I…
