So this being Thanksgiving and all, I really didn't have time to work on any new art. Oh and the shopping frenzy that followed... not me, the hordes, the hordes. Nevermind.
So here's a little, mini-painting I did awhile back for some themed thing or other that I never got around to posting. The theme was Gemini. It's acrylic and sharpie on watrecolor paper. It's the same size as a playing card, 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
yup.
So as I mentioned last week, you should be seeing the new Tell.Tale.Heart Studio website. Do you see it? If not, you need to update your bookmark to my site. Bookmark www.telltaleheartstudio.com, [if you're seeing a really stripped down version of the blog, you've got the old URL bookmarked http://frankmichaelfrank.blogspot.com].

This website was created by Nick Price. Yup. Thanks, Nick.
Art you say? Oh yeah. I got you, I got you.
Japan Postcard #1 is complete as you can see up abover there. After I filled in the shape of the bot with white latex, I re-defined the linework with a fine line Sharpie. The coloring was done with colred pencils over the latex.
After that was finished up, I added in the the "laser eye rays" with latex like this. I went over the rays with the appropriate red acrylic and added the fire into the tree. I hope to do a series of these postcards... we'll see.
:Top 5 CDs this week:
1: Pilot to Gunner- "get saved"
2: the Falcon- "unicornography"
3: the Smiths- "s/t"
4: Strike Anywhere- "exit english"
5: This Microwave World- "red states"

...Robot transferred onto the postcard via graphite rubbing, as you see on the right. Here's a clearer pic of the outline drawing done on vellum.
After the drawing was transferred onto the card, I did a fill using white latex.
Here's some random sketchiness.

I picked up a set of 10 vintage Japanese postcards not too long ago. I've always wanted to do a series of "manipulated paintings." (ie. find a mass-produced painting of an idyllic country scene at a thrift store and paint some monsters into it.) Instead of a actual painting, I thought I'd do the same to some picturesque postcards.
It was an added bonus that they're Japanese postcards since Japan is perenially under attack from all sorts of monsters (according to 50-70s monster flics anyhow.)
On the right was step one of monster invasion. In this case, a giant, evil, laser-shooting, robot was drawn on a piece of vellum with a pencil.
Here's the untouched postcard.
Othere than that I was informed that my submission to this year's Vinyl Killers 4 show was sold on opening night. woohoo. My submission is below in the October 13th post.
