Vegetables turned me green by Isle of wight artist Veronica Grimm

After a week of digesting only green vegetables I noticed my skin colouration changing, I am becoming a true negative carbon footprint freak.

My teeth have started to grind flat and I have noticed I ruminate a lot more and my two pert breasts are sagging with four more teats starting to materialize.

I ask. Is this normal?

Sratch built dinosaur sculpture by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

Scratch built dinosaur sculpture modelled using stone (base) Super Sculpey a wire armature and some metal foil.

It took several days to actually complete and is based on a Luis Rey painting I have in my collection, the Velociraptor in the painting has been used numerous times by Usborne Books who have the copyright, thus I am unable to duplicate the actual painting and show you the accuracy of my sculpt which I feel is close.

The sculpt stands 10inches long.

Super Sculpey is quite expensive and my tip for sculpting is when you have made the armature bulk out a rough shape in scunched metal foil before commencing with the sculpey. Sculpey also has a habit of breaking at joints over time,this can be repaired with white glue and a bit of paint retouching.

Designer toys made on hell of a cheap budget by Isle of wight Artist Veronica Grimm

From some beach debris, clay,acrylic paint and offcuts of coloured vinyl(skip).

Trying to produce prototype designer toys from recycled materials, saving the planet and reducing my carbon footprint!!!

Who's fooling who, I am just a tight wad and always loooking to produce artwork from items I find around me.

The storm beach of Sandown is just 3minutes from where I live a perfect place to scour for materials to recycle. ( I found 460 Kinder surprizes on one trip).

This series I have named Robots(I know not very imaginative), this run will be limited to the amount of fishing float things I can Find ( now I am looking they appear to have become very rare)!!!They are the basis for the robot theme being that type of head shape.

The coloured vinyl is harder to source and unless I am very lucky only a few will have this material as its base.

I have kept the paintjobs initially simple really to experiment on the coverage over the different materials,

Commission portrait by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

Remit was to do a painting that was a portrait, abstract,but in a kind of pop art style in pastel colours, this was my final completed picture on canvas's 10 inches x 14inches.

I do tend to enjoy the odd portrait, most are just get, the likeness right and finish.

On this remit I had more freedom to try out different techniques which I enjoyed.

Dalek by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

The Isle of Wight underground reservoirs have now become home to the most lovable of rogues, what I cannot understand is how easy such a hostile intelligent foe can be destroyed over and over again by a BBC prop (the sonic Screwdriver) It must be possible for humans and Daleks to get along both species are overly aggressive and partial to gun crime.

Sandown Lifeboat Study By Isle of Wight Artist

On Sunday I took a quick sketch and painting of the Lifeboat being readied for a practice run.

There had been a short but intense downpour, I took the opportunity whilst everyone else had run for cover!!

I would say the picture took around 30 minutes using acrylic and marker pen on canvas 10 x 14 inches.

It did not take long for the sun to come out again and it stayed boiling for the rest of the day.

Sandown Lifeboat station is on the revetment not far from the pier.

Blow your Brains Out by Isle of Wight Artist Veronica Grimm

Island girl collects the dead, like army dog tags she wears her newly aquired corpses around her neck.
Even the unfashionable undead now use high tech gadgetry as everyday useage.
The Blow your brains out necklace is a high resolution carporial carrier very similar to a human USB pen, hidden behind reams of data software the souls of the dead cannot be retreived by mortals.
