 The contest passed, but I didn't receive results yet. I suspect they won't announce the winner until Monday. So for now, I am going to show you the last touch I applied before hanging it on my door. 



Is there anybody out there? It didn't come out runny like I hoped and it was a bit messy. However, it looks like a bloody handprint, so I'm happy. What do you think?









See you Monday and Happy Halloween. :D

 Entry #4: I'm on the home stretch. I added a couple more things to the wall. Unfortunately, I made the wrong choice with which glue to use. The paper got wet  and it will more than likely be warped when dry. That's a bit of a bummer, but I'm not upset. We learn from our mistakes, right?

Originally, I was going to remove a brick and place this handsome face, but I received some valuable feedback. It would look funny. So I referenced my Pink Floyd the Wall book and colored the brick as best I could as this appeared in "Empty Spaces."
I wasn't planning to do this, but it needed this addition. I free-handed this with pencil then black sharpie. Not bad, eh?


















Lyrics from "The Trial" for the wife.
Lyrics from "Empty Spaces" for the faces.
Lyrics from "Run Like Hell" for the hammers. 




I hope these are well-received. I thought they would be a nice touch. Do you agree? Anyway, more to come soon and the moment of truth will arrive on the 30th. Wish me luck.

 Things are really coming along. I didn't expect to have Entry # 3 posted so soon; I expected tomorrow. I'm feeling prouder and prouder with every passing moment I'm dedicating to this project. What do you think so far?

The sea of faces spilling out of the wall. 
The cheating wife. She didn't turn out exactly to my liking, and yet she turned out better than I thought. 
I've struggled for years to draw the Marching Hammers and I still do today. So I found the logo and printed it out instead. I know it's a bit of a cheap move, but I don't regret my decision. 


 Entry #2: I got a little busy late last night. Nothing has been glued, because I'm still mapping things out since I didn't get into this with a full plan. I'm feeling pretty pleased so far. I still have a long way to go and little time to achieve finish, but I'll keep y'all posted. :)

The Wall weighed down drawn and outlined.
An attempt of the screaming face in colored pencil. I'm honestly pretty proud of this. 

Mapping where I may want things to go.

 Hello everyone! It's been a long time. Todays post will be one of multiple entries, because it's a big project. I entered a contest to decorate my door for Halloween. I spent a few days struggling with what to do and came out with nothing. Until a suggestion last night finally lit the ember in the fire pit of my inspiration. See if you can guess my chosen theme. 



"Shall we set out across the sea of faces?"
