mini munny sneak peek

i had an art night with my lover boy where we each made a kidrobot mini munny.  i was hoping to end the night with fully completed figures, but we'll have to finish next time.  i used super sculpey (instead of the usual apoxie sculpt) since it has no drying time and is great for a quickie. i haven't used super sculpey in years, and while there are things i don't like about it, i definitely enjoy working with it.

finished sculpting. not pictured is his little worm friend. next, i paint!

huge thanks to ajanta and st-art for having me a part of the show!

theodore huntington

meet theodore huntington the pelican pilot! i found a pelican statue that i added onto and painted. he's one of the bigger customs i've done, standing at probably about 8 inches tall or so.  when i painted him, i mostly just wanted to experiment with painting and colors. 

1EG FRIDAY: antique dots

new ink & pastel drawing! this is one of several pieces i had on display at the show wednesday night with st-art called aesthetic beauty/internal beauty.

ashkore the fire starter

ASHKORE THE FIRE STARTER!! one of my latest commissions! i customized a 4" kracka into this bad boy.  i'm pretty excited about this one, i'm very pleased with how he turned out.  as i was sculpting him, i was worried he wasn't looking like a dragon and started to stress that after so many hours of work, i'd end up with a weird creature that doesn't even resemble a dragon.  or worse, an ugly dragon. that is, until i realized he's a dragon.. my dragon! and my dragon can look however i want him to look. that's when i stopped worrying and had fun with it. love this little guy.

12 year anniversary: a love letter

dear wheelchair,

happy 12th anniversary. i can't believe it has been 12 years since you swept me off my feet.  i don't know what i would do or where i would be without you. you are the reason i am able to get out of bed each morning. we've had our good times and our bad times, but you're always there to hold my hands along the way.  sometimes i wonder what life would be like without you, but i'm grateful to have you in my life. 

we've been inseparable all this time, and i sometimes feel guilty to be so needy and dependent on you, but i know in my heart that you wouldn't live on without me either. your constant support truly gives me the strength to push myself to bigger and better things, further and greater lands.  sometimes you hurt me, but i know you don't mean it. both you and i are tired of everyone staring, but i like to think they're just baffled at how you landed such a pretty lady. 

i don't know what the future holds for us, but i know you'll be there me forever. i hope that one day i will not need you anymore, as we both grow and mature.  maybe then you can give someone else a life as fulfilling as mine.  

for now, you're my other half.  you're a part of me.  and i can not live without you!

love, 

kc

mcdigger

this is mcdigger! mcdigger is one of my latest customs, a commissioned custom dunny.  i was asked to make a mole, which don't exactly have big ears.  i wanted to keep the signature dunny ears, so i made them a part of the digging theme with a painted diamond and teeny tiny real gems.
