Daily Creativity: Deadwood Cast

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Nuchtchas

Daily Creativity: Deadwood Cast

I love Deadwood, the HBO series, and yet I avoided watching it for years. I know so many people who love it but it just didn’t seem like my kind of show. I’m not really into westerns, and that’s what it looked like. This show is so not a western. I started watching it mainly because my friends started an introcast about it called Hooplecast (go listen to that, it’s a lot of fun, and loooooong episodes). I was still hesitant to watch it, since it wasn’t on netflix, but another friend had said he’s be a newbie listening along and sending in feedback. Then that friend passed away, and I felt a nice way to honor him was to take up that pledge myself. I’m so happy I did. This show is fun. Why didn’t anyone tell me it was swearing in iambic pentameter? My favorite characters aren’t what most people’s favorite characters are. Jane is my number one favorite, followed by Elsworth and the Doc.

I figured if I was going to draw some of the cast I had to have Al and Seth, it’s a given. I couldn’t draw the main cast that’s on the DVDs though, no Jane! Jane had to be in there, she’s just too great. I have grown to love Al’s character, but I don’t love Al. I like how awful he is and how complex he is. I feel like I should have drawn some dirt on Jane’s face, but was afraid it might make it hard to see her. After drawing Doc I got the feeling that his hair is really fluffy. I get weird thoughts when I draw.

Daily Creativity: Octopus

Daily Creativity: Octopus

I love octopuses and drawing them can be fun, but also frustrating. Where to put all of those limbs? I drew this one with ink and love how the limbs sort of make a heart on the right side. I also had fun doing the head more realistic than other drawings I’ve done. I didn’t draw the individual suckers, oddly I thought adding that extra detail might make it too cartoony. I darkened the background in photoshop when I scanned this in, I think it makes the negative space pop more. I could sit and watch cephalopods for hours, I find them so fascinating.

Daily Creativity: #ProjectSemiColon

Daily Creativity: #ProjectSemiColon

Today I learned about #projectsemicolon, I’d seen some tattoos of semicolons before but didn’t get the significance till I saw the hashtag. The main idea, as I was able to learn (correct me if I get anything wrong or left anything out) is that it’s raising awareness for mental illness, for living with mental illness, and many get the tattoos to remind themselves that they are more than their diagnosis. A semicolon is a pause, it’s not the end of a sentence, it’s a pause that joins two thoughts. It’s kind of beautiful to think about. In editing, I’m often against the use of a semicolon, there are very rare times when they are appropriate. Yet with this, it just makes perfect sense and it is totally appropriate. I have many friends and family living with mental illness. They are amazing people and I love them with all of my heart. I have leanings myself, I think we all do, but I won’t co-opt their struggle. I can only support and love. In that idea I made this art. Drawn from a friend’s tattoo I made the inside of the heart in ink, permanent, like a diagnosis, like a tattoo. The outside of the heart is sketchy pencil, and the edge of the notebook paper. Rough, changeable, noisy, like the world.

To my friends effected, I love you so much. I’m thinking of you today.

Daily Creativity: Gabourey Sidibe – Part of my Love Your Body Series

Daily Creativity: Gabourey Sidibe – Part of my Love Your Body Series

I’m a huge fan of Gabourey Sidibe, ever since she came on the scene I have loved her. She’s amazingly talented, she has made me cry, cheer, and feel so many emotions through her acting. She seems to have an amazing attitude and personality and is a personal role model on how to deal with haters. She’s also sexy as hell and so beautiful, I have a bit of a girl crush on her. I’ve drawn her before, but I think this is the first time I painted her. This is also the first time I’ll be tweeting her my art, I’m really happy with this piece. I love the pose and composition so much, and hope I did the photo justice. (it’s from a magazine shoot, if you know which one let me know and I will credit it. I found the image around the net uncredited.)
