ShortFuse Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So I bought this huge bag of styrofoam beans for another project right? well Im still stuck with a HUGE bag of stryo beans... So I figured Id experiment. Ive been wanted to cast a metal vessel lately. So I took one of my cast clay vessels and hot glued (tedious) stryo beans all around it. Filled it with sand after the mud coat and proceeded to cast some aluminum into it. Certain aspects were too thin on the wall of the vessel so it was a failure. Yet I wanted to make the best of it. lathed out a base and made a tea light out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicenemyno.3 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sorry to flood the thread, but I just cranked out these two enamel paintings in my blackbook that I'm kinda stoked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skroez Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Publicenemy loving them fonts, brilliant!!...and love the ink art work, esp the fox and skull.. what inks are they if you dont mind me asking? are they airbrush ones, used to use an ink called magic, here in the u.k. many years back when i tried airbrushing..i found them very transparent, i guess they where good for painting in glazes for photorealism work. what done my head in about airbrushing was cleaning the airbrush every time i used a different colour.. anyway keep up the dope work!.. props all!.. pZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicenemyno.3 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 thanks skroez. those were done with testors enamels and their airbrush products. they hook me up with free shit and occasionally pay me to work for them. though it's free, they make awesome paints so it's kinda win-win. since they're owned by rustoleum, it's kinda fucking cool to get a check from rusto with my name on it.

ShortFuse Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Very nice stuff. I never thought of using testors stuff to paint with. I used to have one of their cheap airbrush set ups years ago but actually never used it. Didnt know you were in the UK PublicEnemy, not that it really matters, but you might think about ordering something cheap from the US. Harbor Freight is like a discount tool store that basically sells off brand clones of stuff. There is some garbage that they sell but alot is very good and extremely cheap. They have a multitude of products, I usually dont buy until I read the reviews on everything. Which brings me to this.... http://www.harborfreight.com/professional-6-color-airbrush-kit-with-holder-95923.html Ive been looking to maybe picking this up just to have the option to airbrush. Six brushes with the whole set up, just needs the compressor. It has great feed back which usually means well worth the buy. Cant hate on the price considering what you usually pay in the hobby/art airbrush world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 wish I had more time to do more art but doodling at work is fun over the course of the week adding on. realise the pants are 100% os gemeos. nothing special but it was fun does anybody else find it so much easier to draw on bits of random paper than on some lsketch book? just bumping the thread!

Though my teeth are more British looking than I'd prefer to admit. Ha! Harbor Freight is dope. 3/4ths of the tools I have are from there. I've been meaning to get a larger sprayer from there for murals. Though I get their airbrush stuff for free, I use the Testor's brush a lot more than the Iwata or Paashe brushes I paid for.

ShortFuse Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Haha opps. Just about all my tools come from there too, its addicting. So Ive been trying to figure out how to go about using my other happy metal mistake being that this one is almost a complete form. Funny enough I thought of those hard boiled egg holders and ran with it. I was very please with the wood. The edge of our property ends in forest/kudzu and my neighbor doesnt mind me scavenging for things on his side. I chopped a part of this down tree months ago yet it was still wet. I lathed one piece into a cylinder and its been sitting for a couple months. Even though it cracked during drying I thought what the hell and tossed it on the lathe because I needed a larger piece and didnt have anything else. Shocked how pretty the wood got the deeper i went. Needless to say Im going back into the bush and yanking out the rest of this tree. Thought a black line would help bring the eye down a bit, I liked it so I I just spun the crap out of it on my banding wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFuse Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So my practice in Lost Foam keeps yielding happy mistakes that Im just turning some wood bases for. I even cast one tonight that ALMOST was a complete vessel, I think Im just about there and know what I need to do. So anyways..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There is one after that one which I havent posted because Im still debating on what to do with it. So yet another bead looking cast. This one actually came out complete unlike the rest. Figured out my problem has been proper gas ventilation. I almost like the random degradation that the others have more but oh well. Ground down the surface of this one some bit but same treatment over all. Lathed a cedar bottom and top and called it quits last night. This one was actually given away today for a donation to an auction tomorrow evening. A bar regular at my restaurant helps organize this Dyslexia benefit every year. Going to be a lot of people and everyone is there to spend money so who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Costanza Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 short fuse, how did you do the ant mound cast/sculpture thing. theres some gnarly looking fire ant mounds i keep seeing and would love to do that to one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bed framed Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Shortfuse great work man! I love the metal and wood one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks guys. Really feel like Im gaining some direction for once in what Im doing. The Ant mound one was just me melting down a crucible of aluminum and pouring it, then digging it back up. I will say as cool as it was to do I will definitely stick to the ants that make mounds around my families property. I saw a straight hole, no mound, one day and got super excited to pour down it. I only came to find out, its a different ant, and they burrow deeper and larger. Something happened where during the pour it gurgled and POPPED! Its all fun and games till you have molten metal splashing about....Depending on the ant the metal can flow a foot deep to who knows so really as cool as it might be it might end up being a pain in the ass to dig up. I mean really go for it and give it a try. Aluminum is easy to melt (charcoal can) and find something to pour it down. I will say one key thing is to make sure the head of the pour is big. Aluminum is a lighter metal so make sure as you pour it is A: Constant and B: There is a larger pool of molten metal on top of the pours opening. I usually just curl up a piece of tin or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Still playing with the prototypes. Like this unknown wood a lot better than the cedar. It matches better. Had a lil piece left from the last turn so I attempted to get a lid out of it. Looked ok but thought a lil knob would bring it all together. Gave a it a lil pot belly lean.
