Screenwriting, Lyrics, Art, and Investigation
Finished art, painted with heated wax and other multi-media.
Can you recognize this? Haha. This was track art for “Paint It Red“. At the time I loved the use of cheesecloth and red India Ink to illustrate the lyric: when the muslin meets the wine. Also, of course, the stabby theme worked well with this piece, as it looks like blood.
Now it’s repurposed. When I thought of Schneewittchen and the drops of blood on mother’s embroidery frame, this track art piece wanted to lead a double life.
Another repurposed piece, of course, lol. This one I liked enough to post. The texture and the color were successful to me, but the image didn’t have the clarity I wanted. The “Mum Over” pieces have become an inadvertent series!
Another repurposed piece, this was a screenshot from The Elder Scrolls Online of a volcano overflow near Ebonheart. (The lava still remains as the orange underneath.) It’s another encaustic I never posted because it was nothing special, and then the non-archival print faded with time.
This was a completed piece, a screenshot of an Auridon sunset from The Elder Scrolls Online game. It was so unremarkable I never posted it here. Over time, the color faded. (I don’t use archival papers. Maybe I should reconsider!) Now it’s another repurposed piece. Pink from the sunset, barely fading through at certain points, is all that remains of the original.
Remember last year’s poinsettia piece? It was a redo of a previous, failed encaustic. Well, it’s been redone again. The original poinsettia faded to white and turned brittle. Remnants of the old plant can be seen underneath the new leaves here.
I liked that former piece, but I’m learning the behavior of organic material in wax. Moisture doesn’t age well.
I won’t list all the possible metaphors this piece suggests, lol.
