Last one/largest one

By toni_lee | Published: March 28, 2010
Center stage and 10 feet by 7 feet, this blank canvas takes up the entire width of my back wall. This is the last one for the installation. Anything after this is bonus and perhaps, for an upcoming book I will post another pic once I transfer the drawing.

Strength in numbers….

By toni_lee | Published: March 27, 2010
I am close to my baker’s dozen. Strong Woman is almost there but I will have to spend most of today refining her body and defining hints of a crowd in the background. Sorry about not posting the progress as I usually do over the past week. So is there a female equivalent for the [...]

Soooo close to finishing! :-D

By toni_lee | Published: March 24, 2010
Check it out! It is almost finished! I can’t even imagine what this is going to look like when they are all really hung in this formation! Right now, I have to hang banners over banners because I have run out of wall space in my studio. The Strong Woman will be finished shortly [...]

Let There Be Light!!!!!

By toni_lee | Published: March 20, 2010
Ok, this is more of what I am looking for in regards to contrast and lighting. It may have become a bit more unsettling. The higher contrast around the raised skin adds more tension in more ways than one.

Faking it (for tonight only)

By toni_lee | Published: March 19, 2010
I wasn’t completely satisfied with the Fakir so I used Photoshop to enhance the contrast with the dodge and burn tools. On the left, is the current painted version and on the right is the Photoshopped version. This is more of what I am looking for…higher contrast, more three-dimensionality and more of a spiritual experience [...]

Still not pierced

By toni_lee | Published: March 14, 2010
The rods are now more 3d and I’ll leave the points in the skin for another day. I refined the background a bit more. School starts again tomorrow as well as an early workout

Pierced! (Not yet)

By toni_lee | Published: March 7, 2010
So, as you can see, I decided to go with the vel kavadi. However, I have a long way to go to make this work. More depth and contrast is needed. I will work on the face and the rods piercing the skin. I also have to trim that mullet. I am flying out tomorrow for [...]
