Caffeine still life, oxymoron?

This bird is something I was inspired by the internet to make. It was originally some kind of monochrome wood cut or something from fffound. It was a good motif for some painting. I'm still working on it.

Pregnant Life Drawing

It's been over 2...well let's just say too long, since I did some life drawing. I have to dust off the cobwebs and get back into "high focus" form. But all in all, it is like meditation and sprinting at once, when I get into it; remembering that is like the caveman sparking his flint. I imagine it never got old.
I'm excited to have found a few spots in Copenhagen where I can let the pregnant inspiration that I've been incubating for some time begin to breath. 2010 is a whole new decade. And like Harvey Pekar said in "American Splendor" (I just saw the flick): "Tomorrows a new deal, right?"
So whatever I want out of the next 24 hours, the next 7 days, or the next 12 months, I can reach for it. I look forward to seeing what I find at the end of my hand, and what it might teach me about myself and how I relate to the world. Hopefully someone else will be effected by it in one way or another.

Last weeks session consisted mainly of poses lasting between 2-5 minutes each. I probably should edit down the pics, but really this blog has always been about keeping a record for myself, not the hordes of readers that follow it.

Big hug,
Bigfoot

pitch

Last weekend I cranked out some comps for a possible gig that would've been a fun experiment. Unfortunately we didn't get a green light, but maybe I'll apply this to something for myself.

Here's some videos that we're referencing when describing how it moves(I wrote the following for the A&R of the band to guide their imagination)....

M.I.A. "Boyz" (WATCH FOR Animation of shapes, effects, lines and
patterns here is sort of the idea we're going for: handdrawn, quick)
http://www.miauk.com/videos/boyz.mov

Los Campesinos! "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives" (WATCH FOR The
aesthetic of the "by hand" look is reflected in this video)
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=7525007

Gotye "Hearts A Mess" (WATCH FOR Minute 2:09 and onward...the
background sky time-lapse photography is what Anton(the live-action director) is after for our
background, or similar effect)
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5560358

Basement Jaxx "My Turn" (WATCH FOR Textures and more blending of
Live-action and Animation)
