Take It In & Spit It Out

Last year I completed two pieces that, now that I think about it, work well against each other. I debated blogging them separately, but since they were created together they should be displayed together. The little girl image compliments the older female in the second image. Almost as if the girl turned into the woman shown vomiting up body parts, despite the fact their creation was swapped: the woman first and then the little girl.

My story: The woman is shown vomiting up body parts that are not her own, as if she ate "parts" of those around her - and could be termed as "verbal vomit". The girl came forth afterwards, as if in reflection and seeing the building blocks of her being. Taking on other shapes, as if they were a part of her back - where the spine and body structure gain the most support, but in fact she is in a shape of her own. Thus tying her own limbs. The woman, is spitting out all the bits, she ate, that disagreed with her stomach.

I present my images, enjoy!

B lack & ite

Here are a few sketches from a book I carry around. Focusing on not focusing, that's why I carry it.

Applied Record Paint

I mentioned that I started painting records, an idea that I borrowed from my friend H Dollirious Cupcakenstein, by her consent. I'm not sure if she has a blog or what not, but I will inquire and update a link for her, in case you are interested in seeing some neat things(which I suggest because she is HIGHLY talented). Anyway! Here are my photographs of the pieces I created, which are mostly gone.

J-UNK LAY-D Products

I recently mentioned that I create artistic trinkets to sell around St. Augustine for some pocket change. I started line painting on discarded vinyls, which I will post in due time, but then it evolved into forming the discarded vinyl into miniature pieces of abstract sculpture. This individual pieces I painted to produce pendants and earrings for funky, chunky, fresh jewelry line. Currently the making and selling of these pieces has been put on pause and I currently have (4) pairs of earrings from the original line available. I also started to experiment with transforming a select few discard vinyls into hats, which I will post photographs in the future.

Since these pieces are literally one of a kind, made to match, I am pleased to take requests for pieces you would like made. All you need do is contact my email address with details of what you would like. You can reach me at: scareahgraves@gmail.com. Subject line: "J-UNK LAY-D"

I present to you photographs of my line of creations. Enjoy!

Rock-a-dillacorn

Over the years, I've been on many adventures, to a variety of places, and on the way met my share of people, in spectrum. A few of which I am happy to say I still keep in contact with. One such person whom I am lucky to call friend is an individual called Michael D, from Baton Rouge, LA. While currently located, and without a stable job, in St. Augustine, FL I have made an effort to keep my artistic skills tuned by creating pieces for friends, as well as creating artsy trinkets to sell to the general public. I present you with a piece that I created for Michael D, a little under a year ago.

Abstract Album Art

Previously, I posted an identity image project which was requested by an acquaintance. The same acquaintance proposed creating cover art for a mix tape that he was trying to put out. Apparently, the project was put on hold, when it will resume I am unsure. Honestly, I have a feeling it will be awhile, if ever. The first image was a sample that I passed on to the initiator of the project and the following, black & white, images are scans of the actual drawing. Enjoy!

James Krieger Identity

Months ago I was asked to create a blog profile image for an acquaintance, which I accepted. I was pleased with the results of the image. I've attached two large variations of the image as well as a variation sheet. Which of the variations was put to use, I am unsure, although I am sure that one of the the two large variations was put to use.

I Bleed Rainbows

This is an older piece of work that I am proud of, which I am willing to post a photograph. I submitted it to threadless.com but it was not accepted, maybe later on down the timeline I will try to resubmit it. I've also attached the sample I submitted to Threadless, as far as I know there is no copyright on the actual image of the model, if there is I apologize to whom it may concern & will gladly remove it.

Enjoy!
