A new home

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)       It's official!  I've found a new home for my art-stuffs and a permanent residence for my Fuzzy Skeletonians.  In short, I've got my own ding-dang domain, bitches!  I have paid for and registered FuzzySkeletonian.com and it feels good : D  All I've done so far is set up a Wordpress.org blog so I can get back to bidness with my arts.  That's what's most important to me right now but, hey, it's a whole freakin' website so who knows what the future holds!

     As for this blog, I plan to leave it up as a static archive for as long as Blogger will have me.  Anyway, head on over to the new site and leave me a house-warming comment or two!

blood flood and a commission

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)       This is the flip side of this guy and you might even say it could be the remains of one of his victims.  Not sure, really.  I just know there's a lot of violence to be had in my artwork.  To be honest, my first thought about this bloody mess was that it was the remains of somebody who'd been eaten by some great beast or monster and this is what it spat out when it was done.  You can't eat the bones but they sure do add flavor, don't they?

     In other news, I've received a request for a commission and I've decided to go through with it to see how it feels.  Wish me luck!

a time to ponder

(you cleeka nao)
     After a full day of murder by dismemberment even the strongest of Fuzzy Skeletonians needs a few minutes to lounge and relax and reflect fondly on the bloody gurgling screams of his victims.  After all, if you don't take time to ponder and explore what you do then how can you hope to improve?  

disruption of creation

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)


     Figured it was about time to post another one of my fuzzy minions.  His head still seems to be in the process of attaching itself, as the cloud of fuzzy connective tissue begins to coalesce.  I have the impulse to grab this guy by his soft-looking esophagus-spine and just shake the shit out of him, never giving his head the chance to fully connect.  Would be interesting to see what happens.  What might be the fate of someone who interrupts the creation of a Fuzzy Skeletonian?

old school neck leak

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)

     Here's some recent sketchbook work.  This has a decidedly old school, Sharpie craze feel to it.  Not strictly Sharpie craze but pretty damned close.  When I started on it I had dickhead on the brain and tried to model the torso in a similar fashion, attempting to recreate the look of the muscle fiber type stuff in the abdomen.  Not sure what the bloody, volcano-backed, chicken neck thing intruding into the scene is supposed to be but that strange appendage sure adds some spunky character to this mad view!

stalactite rain

     Here's another shadow of the previously mentioned cave skellie idea.  This image also spawned a further development in the story:

     He's spotted me and now his confusion seems lessened by having someone to focus on.  His erection wanes a little and now starts to drip blood as he advances directly towards me.  I continue to retreat, weaving in and out of the stalactites, stalagmites and columns, attempting to outmaneuver him.  His arms are outstretched wide as he continues pursuit, there's no way around.  Behind him I can see daylight diminishing as he forces me deeper and deeper into the cave.

     I'm even more curious now to see where this will all lead.  I'll keep you posted as best I can.

sharing the fear

     Here's something I've been meaning to show you all for a while and one of the reasons I am so into painting right now.  Just look at that dark, murky blackness!  The first time I laid down some thick wet lines like this it really got to me but now it's something that I've grown to love.  There's just something so mesmerizing about the light reflecting off the wet paint and the fact that all it would take would be just one false move, one sneeze, one over-excited cat jumping up on my table and all of this beautiful liquid fragility would be completely ruined.  Of course, all of this gets lost once it dries and that's why I finally decided to take a quick snap shot for the sharing and stuff...

     No, I'm not just stalling because I'm afraid of starting on the head and potentially fucking this whole thing up, so don't even go there!  I'm sharing with you the beauty of creation and you should be grateful for this glimpse into my process...  You know what?  I don't CARE what you think!  I"M SHARING DAMMIT!!1!

retreating into the darkness

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)

     This is just a shadow of the vivid image I can imagine of what will hopefully become a full-fledged fuzzy skeletonian.  I can see him in my mind, a fascinating waking nightmare:

     I'm backed into a cave and he's shambling towards me, a wild look in his eyes, blood spraying and dripping from his mouth as he shakes his head in a frenzy of uncontrollable rage, lust and a kind of disoriented confusion.  He's fully erect and ejaculating freely as he approaches.  The fuzzy, furry connective tissue between his bones is matted and filthy with an obscene offal of blood, semen, grease and who knows what else.  It's day time and behind him I can see golden sunlight pouring into the mouth of the cave but I'm retreating into the darkness behind me, trying to be inconspicuous, banking on his confusion to give me an opportunity to slip by undetected and make my escape.

     That's as far as this scene has progressed in my mind.  I hope to be able to post updates about this developing morbid fantasy as it hopefully continues to evolve into what I hope will be an extremely vivid horrific painting.

     Well, work is slammin' me again.  I'm in the middle of a 13 day week and it SUUUUUUUCKS!  You know, I don't ask for too much from life.  I mean, seriously, is having my weekends free without having to burn valuable vacation days that hard to achieve!?

     Anyway, I apologize if I've been aloof, flat, absent or otherwise not my usual self lately.  Hopefully, I'll be back to my usual shenanigans as the holiday breaks restore my precious precious energy.

Fuzzy Giveaway 2011!

     The Fuzzy Skeletonian Insane Mega-Giveaway is officially closed and the good news is all three of you who signed up and participated in this year's Octoberween-Palooza-Ganza are GUARANTEED to receive your very own Fuzzy Skeletonian orginal artwork!

     The EVEN BETTER news is that you will have a little say in which of my fuzzy fellas you receive!  I know I originally stated that it would be a random giveaway but since there are a whole ten skellies up for adoption and only three of you signed up, I've decided give you all a chance to state your preference.

     So, what I need from each of you is to take one more look at all ten and then email me with the names of three (3) you wouldn't mind receiving.  Please don't tell me your favorite or list them in order of preference (I don't need that kind of pressure, man!), just the three names in no particular order.  Also, don't forget to include your current mailing address.  If you don't happen to have a preference or would rather be surprised, please state that in your email.

     In the end, everyone will still receive only ONE original artwork but at least this way you will have some say in the matter.  So, let me know as soon as you have a moment.  I will, of course, wait for all three emails before I mail anything off.

     Thanks again for all your comments and taking the time to actually participate in my OPG!

bleeding heart

     When I unleash my army of Fuzzy Skeletonian soldiers on the world this is what you can expect to see!  I imagine this guy to be a member of my elite troops.  He's efficient, brutal and confident, already pointing at his next victim even before he's done with his current kill!

happy accidents and goofy skellies

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)



     These two ended up being an awkward pair of companion pieces when one of my wet/dry sandwiches went awry.  The face didn't transfer over to the other side, as I had used up all of my first batch of chunky, Crayola slurry prior to starting on this venture.  While I think the face side turned out pretty well, the other side ended up being more of a background than a finished work so I took the hint and painted my goofy, bad-day skellie on top of it.  Ended up being a learning experience and the first time I created a background before the main subject of the work.

magma injection

     Some marker from earlier this year.  I like this guy 'cause he looks like he's being injected with some sort of magma or liquid fire.  That's all I've got I guess.  My interests are really trending more towards painting lately.  In fact, that's what I'm itching to do right now.

     Oh yeah, I know this blog isn't a big draw for bad movie lovers but if you happen to need something fun to do tonight, check this out!  I'll be there, yucking it up with the rest of the crew.

brain loss

     Here's the second fuzzy fella I am retaining exclusive custody of.  He's already made an appearance on one of my OPG banners but here he is in his full, fly aparty, gory glory.  Don't know what or who is kicking his ass but they seem to be doing a damned good job.

     This guy's face ended up reminding me of the Looney Tunes Tazmanian Devil, although it took me a few minutes to finally zero in on it.  This guy is also the tenth and final Fuzzy Skeletonian up for adoption in the giveaway!  Wooo!  (sign-up sheet here)

running away

     I got all fancy with this one and decided to use a landscape orientation.  Not sure if I made it landscape to accomodate him running away or whether I drew him running away because the orientation lent itself to it.  Whatever the case, it makes you wonder what (or who) he's running away from.  (sign-up sheet here)

blood fist

(ADULT CONTENT BELOW)


     This is one of three fuzzy skellies I originally completed for the giveaway that I simply couldn't bear to part with.  This guy really came together as a fairly focused composition.  Plus there's just something so compelling about a bloody fist.

     I'll get back to my Blot Faces series with my next post.  Things have been a little crazy today so I opted for something short and simple.

     Got another hunchback for ya.  Do these guys have great jaws or what?  I absolutely love anybody with a robust skull or jaw bone.  I'm always like, "I want their skull when they die!"  I'm sure Bruce Campbell and Robert Zdar would love to know that about me.  (sign-up sheet here)

propped up

     This was one of the first giveaway skellies, completed shortly after (if not immediately after) blood drool.  This guy seems more contemplative, leaning back with his head propped up, perhaps thinking about why he has only hair for teeth.  (sign-up sheet here)

one-eyed hunchy

     Another familiar face from earlier this year but here he is in detail, not constantly building himself up and tearing himself down.  If he ends up among the adopted I'll do a couple of small touch-ups on him before sending him off to his new home.  (sign-up sheet here)
