Muddin’

thank you, that’s so sweet! I’m doing a lot better lately, been a long time coming!

next I’m gonna do a fish with HUMAN MAN FEET

the corner store, he wants some takis

touching the lino for the first time in so long…..

this is like the first thing I’ve been able to carve in years. thank god I got all those surgeries clearly it was worth it (joke)

wow, thank you! what a sweet compliment 🥰

it’s already been a time-intense project and sanding/painting them is gonna take forever (and then there’s detailing…)

These will be replacing my old ones, which I made out of half-inch foamcore and intended to be temporary (fragile!) then used for like 4 years (stupid!)

Basically now attacking this like I’m priming a sculpted panel. after 2 coats of plastic primer cured, I did a coat of regular thinned gesso, then 2-3 coats of thick modeling paste/gesso mix, then rebuilding/evening edges.

blacked out and forgot to take photos but I gave every single panel basically a gap filler coat with foamclay which took about 4 passes, filled in sharp corners to make them more sandable/uniform, sanded everything crazy style for adhesion, then hit it with a spray plastic primer
