Get Out of My Head!

So here's Get Out of My Head, take two of course. This is my photo for submission, thoughts? I was having trouble with the white balance on my camera and taking wall pictures. I followed the wonderful Vicki's advice and created a photo set up on the wall which seemed to work and played with the white balance until I found the one that seemed the closest (Incandescent FYI defiantly thought I had fluorescent lights!). This is the photo that will either get me into my first NYC show or get me rejected. I am a coward and I admit I almost didn't enter this show because I find out whether or not I got in on my birthday but part of being a "real" artist is taking rejection as well as you take acceptance! So cheers to them whether they love me or hate me!

I am also thinking of entering Comedy and Tragedy, thoughts? Are they too boring? Should I try and retake another picture? This one is old and with my old camera.

Sphinx

There is a serious amount of satisfaction that comes with:

A) Time Management
B) Finishing a large sculpture
C) Going to the gym

And today I accomplished all three! Now that I have switched to morning hours at work(yay) it leaves my afternoons free for ceramics and I am noticing a real difference in how I am able to approach my work and my attitude towards the time I have. I don't feel rushed anymore and I feel like I can once again take risks and start big projects. I have been threatening to make the Sphinx for months and finally did. All in all I am very happy. I gave a nod to the Sphinx in Egypt with his posing but other than that hes all my own take on those mysterious door guardians. I snapped this picture with my phone so its not the greatest but hes laying on a cat bed covered in riddles on top of a stack on answers. He didn't end up as large and mighty as he was in my head, but hes still much larger than normal for me. I worked extra hard to make my hand writing readable for the riddles, as my terrible penmanship is infamous! I hope to keep up on this trend of time management and its wonderful to get these monsters out that have been lurking, waiting to for the world to see them! Next big project the table, gulp!

New Glutton

Think the other monsters will be jealous of him since hes so awesome? New home guardian for Artsfest!
