<br />
The neck and vest for the dooman using a variety of patterned and bright colored fabrics. The neck peice is lightly stuffed to give it some extra shape. The test is made from paper cutouts to give a sense of the shapes and sizes for the wood I need get.<br />
<br />
The Candy Minhwa's set will be a 6 foot circle in 7 parts, with a two foot hole in the middle. Creating a 2ft round platform. It will have a tree in the hill and tree in the middle, and surrounded by blue silk roses at the base, to act as the water. Im essentially creating an island. The set itself will act as an installation, titled, "The Road to Rediculous". As rediculousness is circular and tends to lead to itself. It will be some color near magnolia pink, with green rhinestone polkadots. I'm hoping to be more ambitious with the next two sets since the Trip to Your Hear(Birth of a Star) set was a bit more simple. After watching Pink Narcissus by John Bidgood and learning he also built and staged it all in his NYC apartment, I can't help but try to do more :)<br />

I'm powering through work on my rise of the Dooman mask, and started making a sculptural version of my walrus orgasms illustration. I carved the foam of the head for the dooman, and originally i was going to fill the inconsistencies, but i think im going to play with them a bit before i do.<br />
<br />
up next. paint dooman head, and make the walrus, canopy, and flowers for the walrus orgasms piece.
