Sculpey face.

So, I have made two (2) dinosaurs out of super sculpey. This week, they will be rubber molded, then cast in wax. And hopefully, this weekend I will be going up to Alfred, NY with Pete to cast them in aluminum and/or bronze. WOOOO!

RARRRRR!!! DINOSAURS IN SPACE!!!

"Rarrr!!"

This is a picture of my boyfriend.

The answer is all of the above.

I want to learn, don't you?

What the hell am I doing besides blogging?

A number of things actually.
But mainly, preparing a workshop on acrylic mediums and gels and their bountiful uses.
Which means I'm upstairs in my studio making demo samples.
I have until Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Right now, I'm watching paint dry. Really, the workshop won't be as boring.


Moving on...

You know those random, stupid thoughts you have right before or as something bad is happening? Thoughts that, if the situation were not so dire, would be really funny?
Like if you slip in the shower, you think "God, I hope I don't seriously hurt myself, because the paramedics will find me naked." Or, "I'm glad I already finally shaved my legs, so when they find me dead they'll at least know I was maintaining my feminine appeal." Or, "I wonder if people actually crap themselves after they die, in which case I'm glad I'm at least in the bathroom for this."


Yeah, those thoughts.




(Because that's what that cartoon is about, duh.)
(And that's where I got the name for this blog, duh-er.)

A blog is born!

Greetings, if there's anyone out there...

After sitting on the edge of weblogs and also sitting on a long unused gmail account, I decided to venture back into a web existence, that I left behind a long time ago in the fields of diaryland and livejournal. You know, when posts became mundane reports of what I had done that day. Let's just say, I'm glad I deleted them.

I am a painter, sculptor, artist, illustrator, blah, blah, blah, and I decided to initiate Famous Dinosaurs in order to keep myself motivated. To have unspoken goals that needed to be fulfilled because a blog needs to be updated, that's just how it is.

And also, to entertain, because who doesn't like cartoons about animals? And sometimes aliens?

There was debate over which painting I would have accompany my first post, but a swift decision was made that it had to be a dinosaur, considering the name of this blog...
