  Inspiration: Finnabair hosted a VIP Live Stream for her Patreons. It was a challenge pushing light and dark on the same piece – I love trying it out although some rusty touches worked their way into mine. 😊 Description : I’ve wanted to do a mixed media with brushes as I’ve seen many wonderful examples. For this piece I chose a very large brush accented with smaller thin brushes. I found it fun using chipboard, mechanicals, found objects and other ephemera.

Illuminated Leviathan Deep Sea Adventure Jason's Inspiration: I found a  wonderful 3D print on the Thingverse community site. Then my imagination kicked-in to take it to the next level incorporating 3D, mixed media, lighting, laser printing and modeling! Description : After printing the 3D scuttle fish, I added extra elements to build a motor underneath, a copper exhaust tube, clear pebbles for the portal windows and lots of mixed media effects. In addition, I installed LED lights with colored velum in the portals to give the Leviathan more drama.  Rust and patina effects were added on the metal exterior.  An environment was created using a sheet of plywood with notches cut to support sheets of acrylic cut and engraved on our Glowforge.   Products : Scuttlefish - Enhanced 'Gowanus Monster' by  countspatula  June 2019 from Thingverse Finnabair Art Basics Heavy Body Gel Art Basics Heavy Black Gesso Copper Tubing Cosmic Shimmer Rust Paints Art Alchemy Metallique Wax –
