Candy Lips...


This was one of the easiest and coolest looking pictures that I've taken in awhile.

Set up was simple: All I had to do was lick my lips, then press them into a sandwich bag of sprinkles. After making sure my lips were completely coated, I sat down in front of my Canon and shot away!

After I had taken a dozen or so pictures, I transferred them over to my computer for preview and editing. Editing was also very easy; I simply removed any discolored spot from my chin, got rid of a few distracting freckles, got rid of some blue that had been on my tongue from a melted sprinkle, and then adjusted the brightness to give it that overly sweet look.

I think this picture is the perfect example of how easy it can be to create something awesome. All in all, it probably took me a little over an hour to take and edit this photo. That's hardly any time at all, and the responses I got were all positive!

The best part of all this? Licking those sprinkles off and eating them. =]

Sketching and Drawing?

So I'm not really that good of a sketching/drawing artist. I still enjoy trying my hand at it, though. Here's a few pieces of my better work.

Unfinished torso of a man...


This is my take on the Mad Hatter. Creepy, really.



Of course, I have more drawings and such. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. My mother recently found folders upon folders that she'd kept, ones overflowing with my old artwork and stories. I was quite the odd child and drew literally hundreds of crazy images. I'd share them, but I wouldn't want to scare away any friends that I have. ;P
