| Foam for heads... |
[Nov. 16th, 2009|09:34 pm] |
Hey what is the exact name of the type of foam people use when making heads for the plastic mesh technique? I have the majority of the materials I need, and also where else can I buy it that's not Jo-Ann's? The closest Jo-ann's is 2 hours away and I can't get there... or is there anywhere I can order it online?
I'm in Greenville, SC btw. |

I pulled into my mom's garage just after 3 this afternoon. My strategy to head north paid off as I lost the rain at the MO-IA border and actually saw the Sun for a few seconds east of Des Moines. Traffic was a little heavier and of course it was insane in Chicago. I was doing 70 in a 55 zone and chuckled as I was passed by a state trooper whom nobody was paying attention to. I'm just kicking back now. There is a welcomed new addition to my mom's house. One of the neighbors now has an unsecured wi-fi network! Badda Bing! |

Leopard Seal: What you take my picture ROAR RA....?!

| I'm curious. Using real fur, leather and feathers as fursuit accessories? |
[Nov. 16th, 2009|01:14 pm] |
First off, yes I was irked by the letter from a terrorist organization to unnamed furry convention. I laughed at the false statements in the letter to chairman of unnamed convention. This post is somewhat of a direct reaction, though I've skinned animals before for the fur. I'm in no way decent at tanning, I tend to negligently bruise the membrane which makes the fur fall off.
Three topics/questions I wish to ask which someone may have already performed.
1) leather wrist bands or guards, think leather wrist guards around roman times.
Are there any issues with wearing such objects over faux fur? Slippage? Flattening of fur?
2) I've seen some of the most beautiful tanning in various places, is there an online source of fur from a tanner or someone who sells real animal fur? I don't even want to attempt tanning myself outside of the fleshing and salting, the chemicals required can burn your skin clear off.
3) I wouldn't want to ruin a perfect vacuumed animal, but is anyone here in to taxidermy which may know about using part of an animal on a fursuit like the nose? Obviously the animal would have to be at a size of relation to the person. Would I be able to make a cast from vacuumed animal parts?
For those who may not know about taxidermy. The vacuum process allows for all air to be removed, there are further steps afterwards. You see such animals after processing in museum displays, they keep the real nose/lips/mouth/etc, its not fake. |

| A Bug's Life |
[Nov. 16th, 2009|10:06 pm] |
At 9pm this evening, two programmes were on that featured bugs very heavily.
The first was 'Life' on BBC One, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. The second was 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!', presented by Ant & Dec.
I wonder which one got the highest ratings and whether any social comment could be made... |

I've been a little quiet here because life has gotten busier and busier for me lately. It's all in a wonderfully good way though. I'm mostly finished with the pages for Jack. I'm busy with random spot illos for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) graveyardgreg's Deathless story (I think he likes that I have a moderately fast turnaround, and I love doing art for him because he's such a wonderful fellow to work with :) I'm working on a graphic for Elliott's. And I have some new conbadge orders that have trickled in. Plus I want to get the yearly Christmas Card designed up and run them on my happy little laser printer. (Speaking of which, I will be making a call for addresses soon if you would like one!)
This comes on top of the fact that I have started seriously developing the project that I plan to do once I'm finished with The Man Who Was Thursday for Little Tales. I'm going to launch my own comic which I think will be serialized short stories that I can release in comic form later. Basically every few months print the collected pages together in a comic volume to sell. I'm revisiting an old old OLD idea I had called Blood From a Stone which was in a funky modern day magic/technology setting where I could play with murder mysteries. And currently I'm writing the series bible so I can have all my facts straight when I start publishing pages along with the basic scripts for the first few stories. Initially the original project was going to be one big story, but I think I'd much rather have it as a bunch of smaller ones that could potentially weave into one grand one.
As today's comic mentioned, I went to a play with Scott and lillibug on Saturday. It was a really long drive and wore us all out, but it was such a wonderful day. Liesl is such a delight to be with. And the play was wonderful. Plus, we ate at an awesome restaurant in Coral Springs and had a really great waitress. I don't know what it is, but they have the tastiest Caesar salad in the world.
There are other things happening that I can't discuss publicly yet, but they're all good things! As soon as they're okay to mention I'll write about them in a bit more detail.
But for now, I need to start back on the art. Wheee! |

| A Little Bit Of German Sausage |

At this time of year, Leeds always lays on a bit of a treat as the town square gets converted into a giant German Christmas market. There are a few fair rides like dodgems, a few stalls selling little trinkets and plushies and then loads and loads of German food stalls *wags*
I do enjoy the superiority of German food, particularly Bockwurst cooked on charcoal. So Wolfie dragged me down by the collar and we made a night of it, wandering around the traditional wooden German buildings that looked suspiciously like they had been brought in from the local B&Q. Speaking of which, most of the staff had been brought in from Carlisle. Talking in German did little to aid the speed of sausage delivery.
We met up with Patter and we had two sausages each - one Bockwurst, one Spicy Bockwurst. I also tried some marshmallow covered in chocolate, which was in the shape of a butt plug or a penis gag. The chocolate was in different types and it hid a gooey marshmallow centre. I went for the Zebra (white and milk chocolate over white marshmallow) and the Smurf (green chocolate over blue marshmallow). I got it all over my muzzle.
We also tried the Knobi Brot - some of the nicest garlic bread ever. It was crammed full of garlic and the cheese on top was just the right tanginess it complemented it perfectly. Wolfie had the salami one. I also grabbed a Nutella crepe pancake deeley and followed it with a nice bout of indigestion. And more chocolate.
We also indulged in loads of beer - both at the German Beer Market where it was a little disappointing and in Mr. Foley's, the excellent continental beer bar that served 6.3% Weihnachtsbier. We watched the rugby to the chanting of drunken morons and then I phoned Wolfybaby because I was drunk and thought it would be a good idea (but note I wasn't a moron - ah the delight of value-loaded statements and false perspective :P). Somehow, I managed to speak to her for 23 minutes but I have no idea what about. We were going to go to the bar in the German market but it was full and some scary "traditional" music was going on. It was too oompa-like for my liking.
We ended the day at a Wetherspoons where I indulged in Tuborg. It was nice, but not as nice as German beer. I split my Coke all over the floor.
Sunday was a relaxing day, watching Button Moon for three hours and sharing an excellent Chicken Tikka Masala with Wolfie and his folks. The colour was disconceringly pink though, even by my standards. Apart from that, a classic relaxing day. I really need to take more days like these... |
