Continuous Creativity: Consumed By Black Blood





A simple and entertaining piece for Halloween! 

The materials you will need:
Acrylic paint: Glossy black and white
Washable School Glue
Paint brushes
Styrofoam head
Exacto Knife (X-ACTO/Rite-Cut Knife)
Some water

Take your Styrofoam head and carve veins throughout the head as desired. It is best to cut throughout the neck and towards the face.
Paint the head with a base coat of white.

 

Once it is dry, pour some water to dilute the black paint and mix.
Lightly paint the diluted black paint throughout the carved areas. This will make the veins look light.
Dispose of the diluted paint. 

 

Take the new black paint (no water) and paint in the eyes completely. 
Mix black paint with the school glue to give it a 3D look.
Paint the 3D paint down the cheeks from the eyes to make it look like tears flowing. We want it to look as though the black blood is escaping through her eyes to find it’s next victim to possess.

All finished!

Others are simple paths that lay out in concentric rings. The most common has the walker proceeds through each quarter of the labyrinth with each folding on itself in twists and turns before approaching the next quarter. In this way the walker moves through the East quarter (or other compass point), before heading into the Northern sectio

Interview with a Gothic Industrial Artist

When Goth is mentioned, usually the image of a teen or young adult comes to mind-coated in black clothing and miserable with life or bored with the antics of those around them. Either burying their heads deep in a book or behind a blank canvas-hoping to dive into another realty or making one of their own.  The Gothic culture is one that is largely misunderstood throughout our society. Gothic art usually focuses on pieces of art that contains images such as: shadows, storms, heavy emotional images, skulls or skeletons, moonlight, creepy trees, spider webs, vampires, night time, Gothic architecture, crows or ravens, and roses. It is like a blend of Halloween, mystical, and Victorian art. Elizabeth is an artist who lives and breathes the Gothic culture. She specializes in Gothic fashion, modeling, as well as creating Gothic style accessories and paintings. I took a moment to sit down with her in hope to bring understanding of the lifestyle and the art form. What i
