Description News flash! ....Giant Penguin terrorizes the city and attacks with laser beam eyes!
Penguin of gia-normous size lumbers through the city like its personal playground freezing buildings with super powered laser eyes. As the city turns into winter wonderland civilians are either enthralled or terrorized out of their wits. People gather to see the carnage while others flees its after mass. We will report further as information becomes available. The origin of this antarctic Godzilla is unknown, as is what it will do when it has transformed the entire city into a winter paradise. Stay tuned. Good night and remember your winter jacket if you leave the house. We turn you over to the weather channel for an update. It looks like we are in for quite the extended cold front.

This, um, erm.. is a huge painting, it is at least 3 x 4 feet and took a healthy chuck of my time of the past two weeks. I get these ambitious desires to create big, and I seem to always start to question myself after the second or fourth all-nighter. Yes, this took way longer than I expected and much more acrylic. (I ran out of black acrylic actually. I ended up fudging with black sharpie and some black print making ink.) I was given these gia-normous stretcher bars by some random guy on the streets of Boston. Yes, he was getting rid of art stretchers. But, what I didn't realize is that the back of these stretchers have nails heads wedged up and down every inch of them... I ended up gorging the crap out of a side table and my boyfriend's fuzz ball table which I had it leaned against.. He just went to Ikea to replace the side table while I got a set of piers and tore out the wretched little nail heads.

My niece Hannah is in the bottom right hand corner with the penguin stuffed animal. Heh.
I like the guy with the camera taking a picture. ^_^~!

Enjoy!

Wow, I knew those penguins were planning something. A friend and I have had suspicions for a while. I mean, they even have business suits! That's a sure sign of evil, that is.

RayArray In reply to Eowynian [2006-08-17 00:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Exactly, my dear! Exactly. Ever go the aquarium and wanted to take them home?.. They are obviously plotting to take over the world..... One house hold at a time... One time, I went to the aquarium to watch them, and the person next to me, dropped a sippy cup over the banister... They all ran after it collecting it for their devilish plans. They are/b> up to something. XD.

Eowynian In reply to RayArray [2006-08-17 01:15:36 +0000 UTC]

Indeed they are. The signs are popping up everywhere. Who needs an apocalypse when one has a penguin? XD

But they are so cuddly and squeakable that I would be hard put not to join them. Tricky little birds.

I LOVE IT! The detail is incredible! And do paint that in two weeks is pretty fast (to me, anyway). I love all the different angles of everything, making it look all chaotic.

RayArray In reply to oo4 [2006-08-16 19:26:18 +0000 UTC]

REally? It is good to hear that, seriously! I feel alienated around these parts feeling like the slowest gal around. 2 weeks is a decade compared to the kind of decriptions people write. I swear! I think the longest I've ever noticed was one artwork set at 30 hours tops. Seems like most people spend 30 minutes - 2 hours to complete an art.. Hehe, 30 minutes is something I can waste finding my staple gun before I even have the canvas gessoed or idea sketched.

Shhh... Shizzle.. Shhhh....Don't let anyone know I was going uber crazy to finish this. Don't blow my cover. It was a hard painting to finish.. it took forever.. and the canvas kept sucking up my acrylic into a void from which it would never return.....Shhhh............ XD.
