Film Image Series

I am a film geek. When I first jumped back into painting back in 2005, I did a set of acrylic portraits of film actors. I wanted to use bold color and a more graphic style than my usual work. My research for images began focusing on old noir films but expanded to films as late as the 70's. The first three are all women. The next in the series will be male actors.

Forgive the poor quality of the images. The paintings are sealed with a glossy finish making it hard to capture with my nice but point and shoot camera. I have plans to work with a photographer to get high quality files in the near future.

Back to FCP...

I spent the bulk of creative time today and Saturday in front of my computer cleaning up two more of the old FCS shorts: Damn Calm and Pigs. This completes the 1993 set. Something still needs to be done with Inheebreated Confessions and there is also the disaster that is Twisted Weekend 2.5. That one may have to remain in the never to be seen again archives. I can at least cut it down to a more manageable length and trim most of the awful dialog.

Dogs in school is still in the short sitting for touch up, spray then wait to dry phase. I mistakenly cut two pieces of the wood frame a touch too short so another hardware store trip is on the plate for tomorrow. I hope I can find another piece of the same lumber that I used for the other pieces.
