Check one off.....start on the next

Phew, the Belladonna-mania portion of my life is OVER! Sold, created, and shipped. I'm excited for everybody to start getting their new friends in the mail.  I took a little nap today and did some cleaning, and three loads of laundry, so.....

Holy giant pile of mute, snaggletoothed bunnies!

...that brings us to what's next.  Fast and furious preparations for next month's show at OhNo!DOOM gallery in Chicago, that's what.

I have started to enjoy the idea of "themes" for any group of critters bigger than 4; it helps me come up with ideas, and there's something really aesthetically pleasing about a whole group that just seems to "go" together.

My theme for this show will be a sort of grimy pre-WWI military vibe.  Lots of neutral colors, ratty old army wool, bandages, medals, dinged-up brass.  While this isn't an actual piece from the show, it's a sort of color/texture exercise for what sort of tone you can expect. More soon...

This is a great idea. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I would like to own one of your originals by the end of the year.

Have you ever thought of doing one with an underbite? (Teeth only on the bottom?) I think that would be irresistable!
