Each bottle of paint was $0.96, if you're looking to buy some. :]<br />

I completed this piece of Mr. Hendrix in late January for the "Black History Month" show at the Off Center Art Center. After looking at it for a month, I really felt that something was missing; the piece seemed too free, too expansive. After discussing changes with fellow artist, Jeff Filipski, and my ever-supporting girlfriend, I've decided to frame it to enclose some of the "freedom" and add some balance. Then, in my search for balance, I decided to make some serious alterations, check it out..<br />

Here is the layout for the frame I've decided to built. Unfortunately, I left both Sam's (the person taking these pictures) and my staple gun at my house and we're using her garage. :/ At least I've got the layout.<br />

In my quest to bring this piece to the next level, I decide to try a little deconstruction. To add to the symbolism of the burning guitar featured in the image, I begin the burn the lower-left corner and up the left side.<br />

(part 2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 5</b>: Paint it! I just used cheap gloss Black (Walmart's brand) and some Krylon Gold for some undertones. I painted one coat of black and really layered it on; used about the whole can. Then I sprayed on some Gold in the center and on edges. Then I resprayed two more coats of Black. I let it dry for about 2-3 hours before messing with it again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 6</b>: Mounting; lay the painting face-down and lay out the shadow box on top. I had one edge that wasn't my favorite (the edge that was bowed originally) so I put that one on the bottom. I drilled holes in the center of each side (I just used the crossbeams of the painting as references) and then slowly screwed in screws. After screwed into the frame, the screws are still about half as long as the wood that the canvas is wrapped over so that they can hold the painting in securely.</div>

Step 7: Let's wire it up! I added holes and screws 7 inches up from the center of the frame on each side. In the picture below, I'm using a tape measure just to eyeball the holes. Then I used a heavy wire and wrapped it three times. The piece is a bit heavy so some extra wire makes me feel comfortable that the buyer won't have any problems.<br />

(part 1)Recently, I posted a picture of a completed piece to my Facebook and to my amazement, I had an interested buyer within an hour of posting. The piece (below) is a 3' x 3' painting on canvas and it really needed a shadow box before I felt satisfied with the finished product. I'm <span style="color: red;"><u><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><b>not</b></i></span></u> </span>super handy with tools and have little experience building things (without Legos). In the rest of the post, I will discuss how I created a simple shadow box for my artwork.<br />

<b>Step 1</b>: I purchased four 6-foot sections of pine wood at Home Depot. This ran me about $12. You will also require wood glue, a staple gun (borrow it!), screws, nails (optional), saw (borrow it!), miter box (optional), and a drill (borrow it!). Each section was a bit more than 6-foot long, so I kept that in mind when measuring and marking. I cut 3-foot sections, keeping in mind the extra length on each section. Then, I put the first four sections together tip-to-inside-edge. Take some extra time to square it up before gently putting the painting down.<br />

<b>Step 2</b>: I put the art on top of my placed pieces and re-squared them. I eyeballed it until I felt that the art was right in the center.<br />

<b>Step 3</b>: I added the last four sections of pine. Notice that the corners do not touch; that is the look that I desired in this shadow box. I squared them up and checked each side before moving on.<br />

<b>Step 4</b>: Glue the top pieces down. I felt that it was important to do this first to make sure everything lined up with the painting inside. The bottom pieces are less visible than the top ones, so I wanted to make sure the top ones were lined up.<br />

I stapled each piece of wood 3-4 times. One piece was warped so after stapling and gluing, I added nails to help hold the two pieces together.<br />

Here I have posted a short video that I made of my "box" at the Off Center Art Center (www.ocacoffcenterartcenter.com). Sorry the awkwardness and format of the video; I made it on my iPhone and was having trouble fitting the whole box into the camera (there were other artist's boxes behind me). I do happen to be co-owner of the music in this video, supplied by my band <a href="http://www.facebook.com/fieldsofsaturn321" target="_blank">Fields of Saturn</a>. <b>Thank you to everyone who follows my work on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, and in person. :] </b>Church Hetfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983339604359206529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336891433304844370.post-45539745344270780562014-02-13T10:04:00.003-05:002014-02-13T10:13:03.881-05:00#41: Where're you going and where've you been?<b>Where've I been?</b><br />
Been trying to create a freaking following, and it's working. I'm content with my success from 2013. I've sold around 12 originals, am a member of an art gallery and studio (<a href="http://www.ocacoffcenterartcenter.com/" target="_blank">Off Center Art Center</a>, Melbourne, FL), and have broken 500 "likes" on my Facebook art page (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/boredom.is.overrated">www.facebook.com/boredom.is.overrated</a>). Here's some of the work that have achieved happy new homes in the last 12 months:<br />

<b>Now what?</b><br />
As I continue to move forward, people keep asking me about the [Birdy] series. They say things like, "When am I going to do more?" "Those pieces are your best work." "You should keep doing those big anime paintings with the tape." I DO enjoy making those immensely and I will probably create one or two this year, but I have to be in the right frame of mind. I have to watching an anime; enjoying said anime; and feel a strong connection to the source. Once that has happened, I carve out my own niche and express my own feelings and thoughts through 2ftx4ft canvas. It'll happen when the time's right. I'm enjoying the success of my inked pieces (as seen in the [Everyone Paints...] series). Below is what I'm currently working; the paint is done, time for the inking...<br />

<b>The Future? (specifically 2014)</b><br />
You can find me selling my work at the first annual Space Coast Nerd Fest (<a href="http://www.spacecoastnerdfest.org/">www.spacecoastnerdfest.org</a>). Brian Benson is doing a good job getting lots of artists, attractions, events, etc. set up for the Fest and it's shaping up to be Melbourne's own little Megacon. You can also find me at the Off Center Art Center in downtown Eau Gallie (<a href="http://www.ocacoffcenterartcenter.com/">www.ocacoffcenterartcenter.com</a>).<br />

If you go to Google and type in "florida art," the image above is what you will find. 13 out of the 16 images in the screenshot have prominent palm trees. Well, I haven't gotten around to painting any palm trees yet, but I have started a "Everyone Paints..." series where I focus on subject matter that's more commonly painted in Central Florida. I've uploaded them in order of their creation:<br />

This series has been a wonderful experience! Sea turtles and anything to do with NASA are hugely popular in Melbourne, FL. I've been able to focus on some more "sellable" subject matter in the foreground, while still experimenting and keeping my own style intact in the background. The gold in the last image is "golden lettering enamel" that I found in a community pile at the Off Center Art Center (www.ocacoffcenterartcenter.com), where I'm now a resident artist. That new medium has been so much fun to tinker with and creates some very wild designs. Hope you like my newest work and keep your head in the cosmos!Church Hetfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983339604359206529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336891433304844370.post-54793397595921171982013-05-14T22:02:00.000-04:002013-05-14T22:58:24.182-04:00#39: Why Women Are Important To Us [Men]<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Are you a man? Have you ever been unable to find what you're looking for in the fridge? Tonight, we found a Fisher Audio Component MC-723bk for $18 at Goodwill. (For those that don't speak in that talk, like me, it's a record player.) I made sure to keep the receipt just in case it was totally busted. After wondering why the cables were yellow and brown (instead of the modern red and black) and just hooking them up randomly, the system came to life!<br />

I immediately grabbed my newest album, MUSE's "Black Holes & Revelations." It sounded gorgeous; Matt Bellamy's vocals sounded great through the old speakers. Nichole was making funny faces at my giddiness, so I thought I'd show off. I grabbed my signed, unreleased Coheed & Cambria 45rpm. Now, let me give you some background: my other record player I bought brand new. I love listening to records but know nothing of the hardware involved. I know more about how the Millenium Falcon works.<br />

So, of course, Mr. Claudio Sanchez's voice was extremely low (for him). The music was much slower than it should have been. I realized that I needed to find the button to switch from 33rpm to 45rpm. I searched high and low for a button, switch, toggle. Then I went to the master of all things, Google. Google wanted me to buy the original manual from God-knows-what-year for $10 and had no information on how to switch between 33rpm and 45rpm. In frustration, I just decided that I wasn't going to be able to play 45s on my new unit.<br />

That's when Nichole walks over. Within three minutes and with less than five text messages to her father, she has found the switch and is playing "The Running Free (Album Version)" by Coheed & Cambria. This is a major reason why women are important. I open the fridge and CANNOT find the sour cream. She walks over pulls it out.

I am in the process of working on about five large pieces and have finished one since I last posted. It's called [Auto Pilot] and it is another experiment with negative/positive space; it is inverse from my [Guitar Duel] pieces.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In the [Guitar Duel] series, I used black for the foreground, but I decided to take a different approach with this one. Initially, the idea was use stars as the stencil and do a recreation of the American flag. That idea died, however, when I realized that I was unable to paint with only three colors, one of which being white (yuck). Can anyone guess where the title comes from?

<br />
I posted a pic on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/boredomisoverrated" target="_blank">[Boredom.Is.Overrated] Facebook page</a> last night of [Embalmed in Memory] (you'll never get that reference.. unless you're a fan of Akira Yamaoka). This piece is heavily influence by survival horror videogames. I'm a big fan of Silent Hill and F.E.A.R.<br />
<br />
Here is last night's pic (immediately below) and what I've done to it today. Enjoy. :]<br />

I'm hoping to post pictures of that work up soon. I couldn't post any online, for fear that my friend may see them before receiving the painting.<br />

At the moment I'm working on a (or two?) commissioned piece, currently named [Untitled]. Here are pictures of the work in progress (both photos taken with an iPhone 4S):<br />

So, as you can see, I was in a magazine of recent. Brevard Live Magazine interviewed me for a short segment on upcoming artists. An artist (Kelli Price) that also frequents the 321 shows with me was in it a couple issues before me.<br />

</tbody></table>Also, above is what I currently have completed of the painting version of [Concept 3]. I am unsure if I am finished or what I am going to name it. As you might have noticed, most of my names revolve around music. I may have to resolve to researching some Yoko Kanno songs in search of a proper name for this piece.<br />

I hope to do this every now and then. If you're interested, please find me on Facebook and comment on the status that talks about the giveaway (which will be decided tomorrow).<br />

</tbody></table><span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">The addition of the black silhouettes really brings the painting to life; however, they take forever to paint. The creation of them is a mixture of random strokes with the pallet knife, as well as, deliberate, but painstaking painting of small back squares between lines of color.<br />
<br />
One of my goals with these paintings is to make them as shiny as possible. I mixed in bu-ku amounts of linseed oil into the black, as well as, just poring it onto the canvas. In the end, I will varnish the whole painting to give it a final sheen.</span>Church Hetfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983339604359206529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336891433304844370.post-92166355326852529072011-07-05T22:35:00.003-04:002011-07-16T10:31:44.122-04:00#31: "Terminal Boredom"In lieu of my new website having a domain and server (www.boredomisoverrated.com), I am going to post this video by <b>The Cute Lepers</b>: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDNnBj-bvKU">"Terminal Boredom"</a> They only have the coolest name for a band ever.<br />

</tbody></table>I have begun a new painting in my "drip series" style; "Guitar Duel II". It is a sequel to an earlier piece I created called "Guitar Duel" that I sold to a friend now living in Chicago. In this one, I am still using the same water-based Artisan oils that I used for the original, but I seem to be getting lighter and waterier (is that a word?) with the paint. I also have been pouring in Refined Linseed Oil to give it a sheen and plan to varnish this piece.<br />

Speaking of varnish, I have begun varnishing my older pieces. I won't upload any pictures because they haven't changed, they're just shiny now. I also have begun framing them with frames given to me and purchased at Walmart and Goodwill. I would definitely recommend buying frames at Walmart. They tend have really decent prices in the Summer and Fall. Last night I attended the 2nd F.A.M.L. Art Event at the 321 Local Rock Bar. They are such good experiences that I hope to go to as many of them as possible. You can find details <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=168320546564198">here</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> The way this blog thing works is like this:<br />
<br />
I get into this amazing mood to tell the world what is going on in my head (like anyone really wants to know that..). Then write like 5 posts; all in the span of like a single week. I then run out of things to talk about and forget about my blogspot for about 1-2 months. Rinse. Repeat cycle.<br />
<br />
So, I posted about an hour ago. It's almost 3am. I can't sleep. I'm staring at the white ceiling; Nichole is laying next to me trying to ignore me. My body kinda hurts from standing all day; at work for a few hours, and then at the FAML Art Event in Cocoa from like 5pm-12am.<br />
<br />
So, here's what I'm going to do; I'm going to share my favorite artist with all 11 that potentially read my blog. She's been my favorite artist for about 4-5 years now and every time I get the urge to look her up, and then do it, I am filled with both inspiration and awe.<br />
<br />
Name: Hung Liu<br />
Age: 63<br />
Sex: Female<br />
Descent: Chinese-American<br />
Website: <a href="http://www.kelliu.com/">http://www.kelliu.com/</a><br />
Wiki: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hung_Liu">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hung_Liu</a> <br />
<br />
I'm not going to regurgitate information about her from wikipedia or her website. But if you go to her site, you will see why she is one of my favorite artists of all time; you will also notice where I get a bit of my style/inspiration.<br />

<br />
It has been a long time. It has been extremely difficult trying to build some sort of inspiration. It shouldn't be hard considering I've been playing rockin' metal music with 12 Steps Away (though we need a BASSIST and DRUMMER; contact me if you know anyone). For some reason though, I have been unable to really get my mind set on anything.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Until tonight. </div><br />
Tonight I went to the 321 Local Rock Bar (333 King St./ Cocoa, FL) and put a bunch of my stuff in the FAML Art Event.<br />

</tbody></table>This event was really awesome. It had art like mine, art from (not to quote The Who), "my generation." I traded the red samurai piece on the left ("I heard it's going so well") for another artists beautiful piece, sold the painting of the wrecked city at the top ("Untitled"), and bought a shirt from another artist. The 321 Local Rock Bar does these shows the first Monday of every month and I can't wait to be at the next one!Church Hetfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05983339604359206529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336891433304844370.post-22225207570508663662011-04-10T11:50:00.001-04:002011-07-16T10:08:57.818-04:00#28: 12 Steps Away at "College Players Showcase"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfutTCdQ8QOB8iO09jYwoHvHB4fKhECcBR9WP4F-4nUqc8uf6ZXqouuX0kOfNUUWvGJLoreM4-BJ7o1TPuJHHJQSdjCnaZzLAvZeFnek51JDZsGuppNECnSBJbXhR8pg831kx9nBfmblOw/s1600/logo+blue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfutTCdQ8QOB8iO09jYwoHvHB4fKhECcBR9WP4F-4nUqc8uf6ZXqouuX0kOfNUUWvGJLoreM4-BJ7o1TPuJHHJQSdjCnaZzLAvZeFnek51JDZsGuppNECnSBJbXhR8pg831kx9nBfmblOw/s1600/logo+blue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfutTCdQ8QOB8iO09jYwoHvHB4fKhECcBR9WP4F-4nUqc8uf6ZXqouuX0kOfNUUWvGJLoreM4-BJ7o1TPuJHHJQSdjCnaZzLAvZeFnek51JDZsGuppNECnSBJbXhR8pg831kx9nBfmblOw/s200/logo+blue.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

I have a lot of work to do, both on here and in real life. On here, I have several album reviews that need to be done as well as some PR work for friends (not that a million people are reading this). In non-interwebz world, I need to create t-shirts, advertisements, learn songs, etc. <br />
<br />
However, on the top of the priority list was this, the Art and Music Day Poster Advertisement (title-ing will be done digitally when I get a decent picture, hopefully by my friend Michael). Here is the finished work; for some reason, the ink in the picture gives it a glare when I use flash. <br />

<strong>"Whatever you're going to do - do it fast!"</strong><br />
<br />
This line is present in numerous films, shows, and (probably) comics. Examples include, Aliens, Star Wars, and Cowboy Bebop: Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui (where I just spotted it). Over used cliche for action movies, or an allusion to old-school goodies?<br />
