[artistic nudity - dont like it - dont look]

I made 8 prints of me [nakkid] body covered in chalk dust... (very messy)
kept 4* of them and will be putting them up
(* one was destroyed by my son... so there are only 3)
as I get them photograghed....
will also be drawing on them
and doing other things to them as the mood hits me!
will likely make more as this was alot of fun!
exspeacially the cleaning up afterwards....
right click to enlarge the pictures!

well this is what I look like with chalk dust and spray glue on my face!

<img250*0:stuff/cda%201.jpg>
1st ... this one got brushed and half the image got removed
before I got to use the fixative so I drew over it... still I like how it turned out

<img250*0:stuff/cda%202.jpg> <img250*0:stuff/cda%202b.jpg>
'Under the Glass'
entered in [Zauberin]'s The Charcoal Contest
2nd ... this is my favorite... I hope it shows well enough
the chalk dust is faint after the fixative and the blk paper looks gray
2nd ... with different lighting - which do you like better?

<img250*0:stuff/cda%203b.jpg> <img250*0:stuff/cda%203c.jpg>
3rd ... drawing on... note the colours are just light effects this was done with white chalk powder and white pastel stick and black charcoal stick spray adhesive and spray fixative which gives it the shine with the camera flash
3rd ... photograghed in sunlight

<img250*0:stuff/cda%204a.jpg> <img250*0:stuff/cda%204b.jpg>
4th ... just the body print
4th ... than a simple drawing on top... trying to stay close with the print in mood
'Out of Shadow' entered in [Zauberin]'s light and shadow

<img300*0:stuff/cda%205c.jpg> <img300*0:stuff/cda%205d.jpg>
5th ... pushing the image farther in drawing.
5th ... and again... more changes & my fav
still only in black and white the sepia colour is from the lighting.... room lights no flash...
the flash made it more black and white but glare destroyed 1/2 the image...
'Rage Against the Coming Darkness' entered in [Zauberin]'s The Charcoal Contest

<img300*0:stuff/cda%206a.jpg>
'Pressed Against the Night' entered at my Y! gallery
tradically about 2" of the left hand side of this got destroyed....
I cut off the damage and it DOESNT look that bad...

2005-04-04 [Lost in Illusions]: was there a flash? O.o that could be something.... ~shrugs~

2005-04-04 [moira hawthorne]: I always shoot 6 or so at a time... with ansd without flash... that was the best... but will try again...

2005-04-04 [Lost in Illusions]: hmmmm, that's odd...

2005-04-04 [Thistlewood]: I like the second one.

2005-04-04 [moira hawthorne]: I do too just wish the blacks were stronger!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: yeah, it would be nicer if it were more intense, but it's nice!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: that's better!

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: my camera can do weird things but it is all in japaness... so somethings its just experimentation.... and than I up the contrast in photoshop...

2005-04-05 [Zauberin]: those are awesome... ^_^

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: I like the natural ones... no drawing... ><

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: yes well have them as saved files so them are there.... but want to experiment... You never know... and maybe I do more after these are done....

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: woohoo... I look forward to your manips

2005-04-05 [Zauberin]: i kinda like the drawn on ones though...

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: I like the first one, the drawn outline of a body... its nice..... but i like the dust thing, too

2005-04-05 [Blackshire]: Me too.

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: ok I just got really weird... And spray glued my face!....

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Monster Moira! XD

2005-04-05 [Zauberin]: you're halfway to some great zombie makeup though!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: hehehe, this is true ^^ ~wipes monster dust all over his face~ Wheeeeeee!

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: Bill says thats my mother face!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: o.O That's not niiice

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: hahahaha... gonna put uop another drawing ...

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: yaaaaaaaay! I wanna seeee!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: I like the third one ^^

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: its got a masculine quality to it....

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: actually, in a way, it kind of looks like a fetus being borne into the world..... that's the great thing about impressionist art; it's all perspective

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: interesting!

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: yes, I love monet's work.... just simple brushstrokes can make something so awesome, and it all takes an imaginative mind. This is slightly different, as it doesnt really look like there was any order to it, but I still love the effect.

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: if youve ever seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch, it looks like a few of the animations that were drawn in there.... all abstract, but still with order and meaning.

2005-04-05 [Alfirin Lindlea]: That's the best film EVER! And yes, it does

2005-04-05 [Lost in Illusions]: ^^ I actually made sense... I thought I was just babbling nonsensically......

2005-04-05 [moira hawthorne]: well I just took photos of the 3rd in natural sunlight...so Ill be putting one up soon.... them its on to a new one!

2005-04-05 [Alfirin Lindlea]: Nope ye weren't, and egads... that film is so good... I'm gonna have to go watch it now :P

2005-04-06 [Lost in Illusions]: wow! I really like how the 4th one turned out drawing on it

2005-04-06 [moira hawthorne]: im not sure which of the last two I like best!

2005-04-06 [Lost in Illusions]: I like the 3rd and 4th one... if you were going to enter one of them, I would go with the 4th one drawn over...

2005-04-06 [Zauberin]: i like the last one... onthe left...

2005-04-06 [Lost in Illusions]: the unfinished one or the one drawn over?

2005-04-06 [moira hawthorne]: o I just changed the eye ... blacked it out because I didnt like it.... welll image keeps chaging... it willl be interesting trying to pick two for your contest!

2005-04-06 [Lost in Illusions]: yay! ^^

2005-04-06 [Alfirin Lindlea]: This is looking really good

2005-04-07 [Zauberin]: i think the very last one is my fave... ^_^

2005-04-07 [Lost in Illusions]: same with me... I still like the 3rd one, though

2005-04-07 [moira hawthorne]: The 2nd 5th....MINE aswell so far... but Im working on working some more on the 3rd one... its its becoming more masculine.... and I still have a print I havent touched yet!

2005-04-07 [moira hawthorne]: Chris I think You willl like the 3rd better when I finish it's revisions.....

2005-04-07 [Zauberin]: looks like a lot of fun... maybe sometime you'll have to try it with multi colored chalkdust!

2005-04-07 [moira hawthorne]: I like the sepia ones... which is lighting.... I dont think Id like colour chalk as much.... those some of the photos had more colour in them just from weird lighting effects....

2005-04-07 [Gomen Monsta]: I love them, Better than my friend Diana's [Something other than myself] You'll ahve to ask for her to show her own work..

2005-04-07 [Lost in Illusions]: wow... that last one is NICE!
