Artist’s Temporary Decaying Art Brings Enchantment To The Forest
British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy is known for his phenomenal and temporary, installations which involve using natural elements, ranging from sticks, stones, leaves and twigs and anything that grows out of the earth. Sharing a special connection with the land ,which he celebrates in all his sculptures, Goldsworthy shows the world that nature cannot be contained, but only its beauty can be held on a canvas for precious few moments before the land recalls what it once grew.
I’ve had the opportunity to see a lot of spooky/horror films with my sister lately, and it’s been great for monster dude inspiration, haha. Here’s three new dudes +bonus Bishop. (I missed drawing monster guys ahhhhhhhh)
Some notes! Mr. Scratch is a redesign of an old character I had in 2012. As you’ve probably guessed, he’s Actually The Devil. Write your name in the Red Book, get whatever material thing you want, boom bam, lose your soul. Though he doesn’t focus on breaking down the righteous and the devout – Scratch appears to those who have been broken and beaten by the world, to those who are willing and who feel they have nothing left to lose.
Strings is a quiet fellow, a ghoul/spirit who is not at all malicious. Just creepy. Does a lot of looming in peripherals. He is attracted to negativity and feeds on it. He’ll follow individuals with a lot of sorrow or negativity until they have no more left to eat, and then quietly go on his way to find a new source of food. Strings begins to look more rotted and frightening the more negative energy he eats, so essentially the more good he does the scarier he appears.
Bishop is a haunted real estate agent who is also a big sensitive baby. He’s an older character, inspired by these crazy vintage costumes. (I want one.)
I’ve always loved the idea of porcelain faces hiding hideous monsters and unspeakable terrors. William is a lurker of high society. He blends in fairly well, despite his appearance, and is able to fool people into trusting him. You can usually find William on dark street corners or in quiet hallways.
So,I’m struggling with choosing between first and second image. I really like the one with background, but something seems to be missing there (I know that one thing is shadows).
Anyway, I must decide which pic to take for another website, and that will be hard.
Meanwhile, have finished pieces of my Whale Shark creature. I will be making ref soon ^^
Beginning last summer Twitter user @fuguhitman began illustrating his personal backlog of bird-bread puns. His first starchy birb was the Sparroll and he claims to have at least 20 to work through. With 9 completed thus far, we have one question for him: why did you wait so long to share these works of punny goodness with the world?
Follow @fuguhitman on Twitter to make sure you don’t miss out on the rest of the breadbird flock and little bonus birbs such as this chocolate chick cookie:
