GK-0611 The GhettoJedi: お金をもてます (o-ka-ney-o-mo-te-mas)

Still have to make the leaf into water, but I added my name, replaced one of the 愛(love) kanji with the one for 'ocean' 海(Umi), cleaned up the kanji for "son" and "niece" as well their names, and added the motto at the bottom, 夏が来ている "summer is coming".

GK-0611 The GhettoJedi

 SO I have been learning Japanese as of late, and that kind of stymied my art/blog/etc...  :)

I have picked up Japanese caligraphy (Shodo) and so I have worked on finishing a piece that I started when I was 16 years old.

GK-0611 The GhettoJedi: my piece that I am doing FOR ME. For any of ya'll that have seen my tattoo on my left shoulder... THAT is what will be in the frame. My name will be above the image in "dollar bill font" and my favorite motto will be below. :)

The  kanji are for "forever" on the top two corners, "love" on the bottom corners; Musuko (Son) with Reese on the left, Mei (niece) on the right

 

..Ow.

More pics soon!

Excuses From theGhettoJedi >or< "What had HAPpened was...."

I have been sick as hell, and I honestly haven't felt like doing much but sleeping when I get home...

I HAVE been learning Japanese though (no shit) so don't be surprised when I start spouting off in weird squiggly characters...

KRay is coming along great, though I have run into some issues with the clay I am using, the DETAIL i can get is amazing.  I will post a slew of progression-type pics here in a bit.

こんいちは！！  (konnichi wa, or good day!)

The Weird Questions Random People Ask You When You Have A Headless Ewok In Your Hand:

 Q: What, if anything, inspires your art/what the fuck is that, a headless Teddy Ruxpin???

A:

 'Love', above all else.

It is no secret to anyone, save the people enthralled in its grip, that love is the one thing above all else that inspires the Creative to be themselves.

I think that Shakespeare wrote an entire library (or close to it) of plays on the subject of unrequited love, so there is worse company that one could keep.

Mind you, I am not saying that 'romance' inspires me to create, and I am not saying that being ‘in love’ necessarily has EVER the subject of my works. Not hardly; unrequited love is not very romantic, and I am not the sort to create ‘mushy-mushy, frou-frou’ works of art. I lean more along the lines of 'R2-D2 vs Godzilla.'

Love is the basis of all of my art. And, no, it is a headless Ewok, you idiot.

K'Ray Noobslappa Part 1: Progess HAS Been Made

I have been super busy, and I also just took a well-needed vacation to New Jersey - so I have been out of the loop.

That is NOT to say that K'Ray Noobslappa has gone by the wayside!  This time I am doing the EXACT opposite and sculpting the base first.

As promised, the helmets are differing colors:

and  looking at the base from the "front":

I have little doubt at this point that I will NOT stick with wax (as it is not permanent) as the final medium, but I can beat the HELL out of the helmets to make them look weather.  You know, like a Noobslapping Ewok just regulated up on a battalion of Stormtroopers.

Ha.

As I said, I also plan to cast this structure BEFORE the rabid Ewok is mounted to it (that just LOOKS funny even as I type it!!!) because I think it will make a dope ass candle!
