VG17. Autoportraits in the Morning

Good day Dear Reader,

How are you this bright and cold Saturday?  I find myself at home with a good solid cold.  Thats okay because I have taken advantage to use the time at home and buy all the stuff that I need for the medical cabinet.  I have everything up to date and I am chock full of cough drops, cough syrup, decongestitants and pain killers.  A brand new humidifier is now mine as well.  I remember when I was a child my mother put one in my room. The humidity was supposed to help unstuff the nose.

Anyways all this resting has resulted in myself being bright and bushy tailed in the middle of the night.  Like an old friend, I go to the computer and catch up on my writing.

But enough of myself, let me tell you about my new Autoportrait.  You can see it at:

Invite me into your home without too much trouble.  The portrait is available for purchase custom made.

Studio Work Day

Saturday is studio Work day and last week I took advantage of the morning to take some publicity stills.  The self portraits that I have amassed did not suit me anymore so I thought it would be good to take some new pics of myself.  The current exhibition: Autumn Leaves: New City would do nicely for a backdrop.

I wanted some fresh new poses for the Gallery.so I took a chair with me this time.  I could leave the pictures on the wall or hold them as I sat on the chair. The chair would allow me to place my body in different angles as well.

Trolley and Chair

So I put the camera onto the triptych.  The triptych onto the table and the table onto the trolley.  And then I would go back to fetch the chair as I slowly moved from picture to picture to film.

 I had the new triptych to put the camera on, and a table to give even more variations of the height that the camera would be on.  These were placed on top of a trolley and I wheeled them from picture to picture.  The chair presented a problem.  It did not fit on the trolley so I had to move it manually.

It was a slow process and I did not have the opportunity to pose in front of all of the pictures.  I got about fifteen poses done and then stopped.  When everything was cleaned up I ended up with a fairly good autoportrait to use online and to offer to friends and patrons of Art Fabian Co.

So that is what I did this particular Saturday Morning as I did Studio work in Val Gal. What did you do last Saturday? Write me at https://www.facebook.com/TheArtFabianCompany/

Birthday Itinerary on the LIke-a-thon

And what am I going to do today? I am glad you asked. First thing I am going to have breakfast at the wonderfully designed new restaurant down the street. I dare not tell you the name because I want to have a place. If I told you well then you might be one of the multitude of fans that take the tables instead of me. So, in to the shower and then I am off to the races. (did you join my event) What? Not yet? Well now's the time.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.

VG30 New Collage? Just one thing before I start....

It all started when I wanted to change my small square image for the Winter Exhibition.  the task was supposed to take five minutes.  I would make a fresh collage.  Everything was prepared.  And just scoot the thing in.  All done. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way. First of all there was a Holiday Season decoration still installed on the picture.  So that had to come off.  And if I was going to take it off I had to film it.  This work was in the Rose Studio and the ornament was not just any ornament, it was chandelier inspired with real chandelier crystal integrated into it.  So I had to take a picture of it. And if I had to take a picture of it then I had to install the proper set up to that the light and shadows worked.  And if I took the trouble to do that then maybe I should film All the other ornaments from the Holidays.  And before I did that, I had to finish some with some new crystals that I had gotten. And w...
