experimenting with materials now, not going to lie, its hard. here i carved some balsa wood with the sanding machines, followed by sculpting chevant onto it, and casting it in latex, added this horrible green to the latex as the natural cream colour of latex was simply anoying me. this is NOT wat i want the colour to look anything like. just had a thought about applying make up to the latex to vary colour, give it depth etc. so i pull the latex off my wood/chevant mould and put it onto a metal frame with hinges and electrics in. but weve got fabric to go yet, silicone and PVA and wire, its gunna get messy isn't it. im sat shivering in my little room, with the window wide open because of the smelly latex.Im currently reading the Winsten Effect, all about the technical/special effects by Stan Winsten, the guy all about Alien, Terminator, Jurassic Park and Planet of the Apes, its very interesting, how he got into it, how things are done, brilliant insight to behind the scenes. A fab friend just gave it to me. Im passing on the reccomendation.
Also reccomended is VAlley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann above. totaly off subject, about 3 glam women, hollywood, husbands, drugs, rock and roll, srehab, set about the 50's, was very sad to end the book.
and finally, The Foals Spanish Sahara, my song of the moment, beautiful, strange video, have a gander on the youtube.
i hope i can get this Triffid looking better soon. Perceverance!
