Isle of wight radio kill all wasps by veronica grimm

Every year for as long as I can remember isle of wight radio without fail run a summer commentary on "Kill all Wasps" followed by "what use are wasps, kill them all".

Every year this riles me and then I switch to another channel for several months , last time I was away for nearly a year.

Why should people in positions of power with a population of devout followers put their own agendas on air.

I like wasps, they do a good job in the gardens keeping the bug population down.

Without lower order ! species, us supposedly higher order species could not suvive.

I managed to do a quike sketch of little sting as he tried to manoeuvere over a bacon butty, the shocked look on his face followed by puzzlement as I smiled and allowed him a morsal without gyrating around with a rolled up paper, screaming loudly.

He flew away happy!!!!!!

lowbrow pokemon spirit world by isle of wight artist veronica grimm

Sucked from her brain her spirit makes the final journey up into the ether.
Death was something she had not entertained but the sudden demise of her carer (IE Grown up and no longer interested), she was left in the hands of human adults.
Now trash, squished in a dumpster her spirit rises to try and gain entry into heaven.
Without the human right of passage,her journey will be short and will fail , her spirit will become ozone and break up.!!!!'

Designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm pt3

Here is my prototype in its early form (front, back,side)

Once it was complete I smoothed the scupey using turps on a watercolour brush.

I then oven baked using instructions, the stink from the turps is high so keep well ventilated.

Designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm Pt 2

Using just two tools and super sculpey (polymer clay)

I started to mould my figure, at this stage I had a rough idea of what I wanted.

Approx 3 inch tall, relatively featureless features so painting would not be to hindered.

This time I decided to ply the clay on a flat surface in sections so I could pinch the pieces together later as opposed to forming one figure that I new I would keep knocking.

pic2 shows the six moulded pieces I came up with.

designing and crafting your own urban vinyl designer toy by veronica grimm

Designing an urban collectable designer toy is easier said than done, if you look back over my blogs you will see I have touched on this idea many times. Scratch building customizing painting, so far not in my mind very successfully.

Now I am going to have a go at scratch building again.

On this blog is the finished article.

There are so many new crisp designs coming out that I have just gone ahead and painted my prototype in the same style I paint my art work.

Over the next few blogs is how I made this model.
