RENU: The purse project. Part I  
Ok over on the EBSQ forums I mod an area called EBSQ goes GREEN.

it's a spot for artists to post about recycling projects, bargins about town, repurposed things they create ect.

I had the honor of the first WIP (work in progress) thread and I called it a RENU. Which basicly is what I'm doing - taking trash - revamping it into something totally new and useful again.

Here are the RENU photos:

The orginal find from Goodwill  - priced $1.00 but was broken so they took 1/2 off at the register.
(the whole bottom of the purse was unattached because the original owner only used glue - and it didn't hold)

Not very attractive I know - BUT wait till you see what I have in mind.



Want to see what mean 'ol Kris does to the purse? click here!! )



Look for part II soon!

B&W Torso #7 (nude male but no manly bits)  
Ok now to this point the torso series has been limited to women - not really by design just the way it ended up. I do have to go change some verbage around the web but in case ya can't tell this one is a male ;)

And yes to answer your curious mind these are all done without digitial intervention ;)

24x30x1.5

click for partial nudity well not really just large images lol )

He will be listed on Ebay in a little bit as store inventory $400.00

Soooo.  
Where have I been?

well i had a couple off web commissions (private in nature) and then I broke my toe.

The breaking of the toe though painful - doesn't hurt much anymore but it just put me in a bad bad mood for a while. I had broke two bones in my  pinkie toe then fractured another and knocked it out of joint OUCH!

All is healing nicely I can walk sans limp now and not noticing my toe as much.

The reason it caused havok was because I couldn't sit for extended periods of time or stand - don't like to paint in bed anymore  :(

SO I'm back and have many a new project going will post about those later today.

Forgive my absence as I know it seems to make me flakier than a biscuit.

Promotional Items for Pembroke!  
Just placed the order and I'm stoked, just hope they arrive at [info]greenbiscuit 's in time.



and new versions of my calendars for the next 6 months...........



one usually goes out with every purchase - or you can purchase them singley for 2 bucks (after they arrive of course)

The sirens are going off outside but since it's perfect weather outside I guess it's a test...........LOL

Oh and another note - my loverly friend [info]jenneubauer wanted to be sure I wasn't done with the nekkid chicks.

 AND YES LET ME SAY THIS SO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD CAN HEAR - THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEKKID CHICKS.

(roflmao!)
