There's been a lot of discord in the online art journal community lately. I've been censored recently by another member. It sucks. I'm tired of it and so I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but life is too short to spend it angry at the stupidity of others and their misdeeds.

I first drew the image on the right, masked it out and used spray inks on the page.

The bombs were a stencil I cut of thick cardstock. I used liquatex black lava medium to make the image- scraped through the stencil to create the shape. I let them dry and then pained the body with silver metallic ink.

The face is done in the same technique as the sheep was- graphite with acrylic paint. The padlock was painting the same manner then given a thin coat of the metallic ink. The "blood" around the wounds is watered liquid acrylic.

The spatter was done in the same watered acrylic paint the liner brush was loaded up and tapped on another brush to spatter. To create a similar but less linear spatter use a wider brush

tell me something..
 

I did this image for union. I used it as a technique video as well, you can find it on youtube. I started by putting a THICK layer of white acrylic paint on the background. I scratched into it to write. I used a mask to keep the center area white while I built up layers of color and grunge around it. I then pulled the mask off and added a layer of clear gesso, I could have used white but the clear left the little bits of color that made their way under the mask. I drew the face of the sheep in with soft pencil and white acrylic paint. I then added the original queen of merde image with a dragon from a bacardi ad wrapped around her head. I'm very happy with how this turned out.

I get a kick out of all the online "purity" groups. SO when the word purity came up for nanojoumo day 2 I had to lampoon it. The purity "logo" was put online as a purity card for a church gorup. It looks far cooler here than it did on the card. I pulled the card in to MS Publisher, reversed it and resized it to be about 8x10, i then printed it off onto a sheet of transparency film. I put it on the right side of the film this time and used a great deal of matte medium to transfer it to the pages.I had to cut it into 2 pieces to get it on, and I'll tell you the fold was a beast. the original logo was clearly going for a "urban and graf" feel. So the tendency of the transfer to peel and not go completely was a perfect medium to really take it there. I then outlined the letters with my pentouch pen, pressed down to get dribbles and runs. While that dried I looked at hundreds of images of scantily clad women bent over various objects, and quite frankly there are things that can't be unseen. Just the very act of attempting to find the image for the right corner has left my brain irreparably damaged. The things I do for art. I found the perfect picture, of a woman, scantily clad washing a car. I wanted the legs to frame the corner, so I first drew the leg for the right most side in soft pencil, added the crotch area and then the left leg. Next was to mix up some white person flesh tone and layer it over the drawing. I added her thong and it's all set. I blocked in some green coloring to set off the legs. Then I mixed up some gesso really thin and used a liner brush to spatter it on the page...

Maybe not the most pure purity page, but it's exactly what popped into my head when I first saw the word as the prompt.
