Today I’ll be putting the finishing touches on this corpsepaint face painting. It’s going to be the sixth in the series. I plan to stop at seven. It’s time to move on to some other projects.

Pyrography Artist Blair Mclean
Posted in Art, Process, woodburning with tags architecture, Art, Blair Mclean, Chicago, oldscratch, pyrography, techniques, woodburning, Youtube on September 28, 2011 by scratchybYesterday I talked about the dearth of pyrographers kicking it up a notch to create a higher art. I found this guy Blair Mclean on YouTube and thought I’d point out his work as an example of the concept that I strive for. He does some incredible straight-line images of architecture and landscapes that kind of put me in mind of art deco and Peter Kuper. Instead of traditional burners, he uses a torch and metal straight edges. This is awesome stuff, check out these videos of his process.

Propagate
It doesn’t take much to spread the seeds of discontent. Sometimes just the right little nudge, sometimes nothing more than a breath.
For Illustration Friday. You can’t see it well here, but the breath was done in silver ink. I love using silver wherever I can.

Renegade Holiday Sale

So this weekend at the Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Sale, I’ll be debuting these fellas. As of January 2010, the Odjits will appear as a regular one-panel comic on my blog.

And that’s not all that’ll be at the fair. The full volume of the Creatures of the Arboretarium will be there, as will a few other fun surprises. If you can’t show, I’ll be twittering the fair, so you can follow me that way, should you wish to be led astray.
