Also you should know that those foreboding bells are actually just someone clinking dishes in the kitchen, accidentally caught in my slow-mo video. But someone should lay down a pipe organ accompanyment.

Concrete and Sky

Between the outer and middle containment walls, the space is dominated by vast sweeping curves, the reflections of your surroundings, and the contrast between rust-stained concrete and lush, green wet...

#zombieskulltober number 7. Fresh sketch. I got too carried away with the color last time so keeping this one black and white. I also need to talk to my therapist about why so many of my zombies seem to be ex-aristocrats. Timelapse in the replies. #inktober #halloween #darkart #horror #rebelle

#zombieskulltober number 5. Posting one from a few years ago to catch up. The process for this was time-consuming, so I haven't made many more this way. The results are great though! Sold to a private collector. Hand-sculpted, mixed media. #art #darkart #horror #props #haunting #sculpture

Thanks! It was fun letting this one get really drippy

A lot of platforms are slowly or even totally removing your ability to curate your own feed, so if their algorithm decides that slop might increase your engagement, it will start shoveling it in there without asking, even if you don't want it. That's one big reason I've forsaken Meta and Twitter.

Here's the final since the timelapse only keeps it up for 1/24 of a second. Note to self- let it record for like 10 minutes at the end.

Putting on the gooey gross parts are the most fun! I have to wear gloves.

This homemade #zombie is greeting the neighborhood dog walkers who dare to go past my house.

Hand-sculpted and painted. Body is built out of an old lamp my neighbor threw on the curb, and an old suit from the thrift store. #zombieskulltober number 2

Now the union should hire some software developers and create their own ride hailing app, so the drivers can collectively set their own prices and keep their own profits.

The bishop doesn't know what that is because he's never seen one.

I almost dropped my phone. Jackalopes are real. This is like finding out unicorns are real, but they are horses that have been mutated by a plague. Amazing.

Learning to cook is awesome. Doctoring up packaged food is a great way to start learning. PLEASE look up how to make a roux instead of using canned cream-of-something-soup, though. It's cheaper and tastes waaaay better.
