Life Without Taffy

A mostly successful attempt at some weird matador creature sculpture. I don’t really work in three dimensions very often but I like the way this fella turned out.

A stupid little idea for an Indian guy with a big mouth. The name comes from me looking at the Nag Champa incense my girlfriend buys to mask the crapstink in the toilet room. I may or may not use him for anything, but I wanted to get the idea down n paper.

Every so often I clean out the various containers around the house filled with writing utensils. I make a little picture with all the pens and markers and such. This is the newest monstrosity.

I do some regular hiking around the neighborhood and I found some of my stickers are still up after two years. Check this crap out:

See it in July of last year.

Or in August of 1996.

Or when I originally put it up in March 1996.

I’m several months behind in my photo organizing and such, so I’ll be posting a bunch this next week or so.

Just a stupid little idea I wanted to get down in animation form. I plan on redoing this one all pretty like, but this is a good idea of what it’s going to be.

During the later months of 1915, a gas mask  consisting of a leather facepiece with eyepieces and a metal canister was issued to the German army. The facepiece was impregnated qith tallow and oil to make it gas-proof, the eyepieces were compound, with am outer glass lens and an inner lens of celluloid treated to prevent misting, and the canister contained layers of absorbant materials - charcoal. pumice and kieselguhr - mixed with various chemicals to filter and absorb the gases.

I’ve been drawing the masks I found in a thrft store book Gas. This is the third in a series. See them all here.
