Now something a bit different. Yes, it is a photo and although you might think that it is from the warehouses of 20th Century Fox ;D it was actually an alien "bust" made by a me and my good friend Mikko Paakkunainen when we were 17 or 18. We did it during art classes and boy, it took a few of them to get this done...
It was basically life-size and we were quite proud of it. Of course it wasn't all accurate in design of the original Alien but it was the first try on the subject..in "3D" I mean (I had done something like a hundred doodles of the creature by that time).
I'm saying how it was because it got battered several times in it's diffrent storage places and when I moved to Helsinki it fell a couple of times to the floor (or my head). That's the reason why the "shoulder" is cracked and plaster is showing through. So finally I got fed up with it and got rid of it. It should have been burned with gasoline or something but the garbage storage where I threw it, did have a garbage compactor of some sort. So it got the fitting death/funeral.
I'm sure that I'll do another one someday!

ReplyDeleteI bet something like thousand would be more accurate ;)
:D yeah Mikko, I bet you saw some of those drawn on the corners of swedish course books! Had to make use of them somehow.
ReplyDeleteThe light gives them an organic appearance, wet, almost viscous. They seem to be real.
ReplyDeleteSwedish books? Well, don't throw them then... :)
