I did some doodles in the not too distant past. I present them here for your consideration:

Lately a Life Model

Mary Pat — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:56:57 +0000

Due to some excellent fortune, I’ve been asked to be a live art model not once, but TWICE in the last month. I sat for a group of intensely talented artists some of whom where 85+ years old. I can only hope to be as artistically inclined and vigorously ass-kickingly awesome of a person when I grow old. Many of the artists were generous enough to give me a portrait or two, here are some of them:

The last sketch is a collaborative effort between Holly Hughes and Charles Stenger. Ugg, so good! I’ll save the tale of “Life Model: Episode 2″ for another day, mostly because I still haven’t photographed the sketch I was given from that sitting.

Arting for Mr. Ellis

Mary Pat — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 04:06:51 +0000

Writer/internet god/incubus, Warren Ellis employs the use of Station Idents and he recently put out a call for submissions; make one he likes and he’ll use it. Easy enough, right? So, I threw this little nugget at him:

I’m still trying to find a method of computer-based art making that I really love/am perfectly pleased with. That said, I learned quite a bit from this project and even is Mr. Ellis (or you for that matter, dear reader) hate what I’ve made, I had a gay ‘ol time making it.

I served as my own model, because I have access to myself 99% of the time. The other 1% is anybody’s guess… Eat your heart out.

Creative Processing

I began working on this illustrator project with the intent of not giving up on creative work. I don’t think I really like it. Maybe I just need to keep at it. But in the interest of full life documentation I give you, Skelly.ai:

Have good ideas? Please advise.

I’ll eat my heart out to that,

2012: A Photo Bomb Story

Mary Pat — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 01:17:45 +0000

The new year is just old enough to have lost some of its luster. Winter doldrums are setting in (even though we’re experiencing the mildest winter in recent memory) but I’ve got just the thing to keep the bad at bay: A photo bomb!

I’ve been through two jewel toned hair situations this year. The blue was felicitous, but I think the aubergine is more my speed.

This push button light switch might have easily made my week if I hadn’t also ate wild boar that SAME WEEK. SUCH LUXURY.

A snippet of our Mardi Gras party this year. Less boisterous than last year, but no less fat or drunk. I took precious few photos, so I’m waiting to see what else surfaces from that magical evening.

This here timepiece was a (very generous and thoughtful) Christmas gift from my best friend, Linmis. One probably needs to see it in motion to fully appreciate it, but you can visit the very old, poorly designed, noisy (in more ways than one) website of the designer here.

Eat your hearts out,
