Recent Projects

This is an image of a comic book character named Spawn. It was done with a mixture of charcoal, chalk, permanent marker, pencil and spray adhesive. Currently on my roommates wall as a welcome back gift. I did this roughly mid august.

This Item here is a project that started back when I was in junior high but let sit for the longest time. I just picked it back up a week ago but spent most of my free time the past couple days reworking the surface and making it paint friendly. I say paint friendly because this item is made mostly of plastic. Due to the nature of the plastic spray paint will not stick easily and will actually come of with the lightest scrape of any surface. By roughing up the surface with coarse sandpaper (180 grit) and then refining it with a finer sandpaper (400 grit) you can give the paint something to adhere to while still leaving the plastic with a smooth finish. 

This picture is here to point out the bluish area in the center of the helmet. That blue stuff is insulation foam. I cut it down and shaped it into the piece you see their. The previous piece was missing and there was just a big hole there. I still need to seal the foam for painting. This can be done with watered down Elmers white glue or several layers of spray adhesive. Otherwise spray paint would break down the foam and then it would be a bubbly sticky mess.

More progress after this weekend.
