Octo-Icons the other Number 6

…mis-numbered last time…

…”auto”-corrected this time…

…back on numbered track next time…

…(in hindsight I should have just gone back and the edited title on the previous octo-icon post)…

…(but there are more pressing matters to attend to)….

….(they mainly involve glue)….

…(and little bits of paper)….

…(mmm….basket weaving for the covidly impaired)….

Octo-Icons 4

….anyone for doubles?….

….(the third quote on the left hand icon is from H.P. Lovecraft’s “Call Of Cthulhu”….where in he name checks Dunedin and our resident seadogs)…

….double frame in case you need two…

…more tentacle for your buck….

Octo-Icons 2

…same quote as the previous one (there are three to “find”)….

…same quote as the previous one (there are three to “find”)….

…(yes I know it’s crooked…all the holes are slightly off centred because…er…I can’t remember why…so…because…)….

..(I think the idea was to make hem look well worn and crafted in an age before accurate measurements were a thing)…

…(or…. I’m crap at drilling holes in the right place)…

I Know You Think You Have Seen These All Before But

…now they are in their frames and truly finished…

…all signed and numbered (numbers correspond with the “swatch” things I posted ages ago)…

…all stamped on the back with one of three smudgy “quotes”…

…all drilled so they can be hung facing in or facing out depending on mood…

…all ready to sit and gather dust whilst I figure out how to convince a gallery to hang them so I can sell the damn things!!….

Now With Eyes And Gaping Maws

…but it’s really hard to photograph them all at once…

…and I didn’t want to kill my post-view-count by doing them individually (again)…

…so…

…not quite…

…nope…

…nearly…

….that’s it…(from the top of a step-ladder)

…almost worth making the bed for…

…(now where are those frames that I prepared earlier?)….

…(35….in case you’re wondering…there are 35 of the bloody things!)….

Sketchy 228

…same thing….

…a few more colours…

…(just noticed the note at the bottom…may not reach paintbook with this…going thru a “not sure of everything” phase…so…not sure of I’ll pursue it further)….

Sketchy 227

…bottom right hand corner of the Sketchy 226 post…

…a wall panel motif I noticed in a movie restaurant scene…

…turned it into this…

…can’t remember the movie…

…but thought “that looks like a tentacle”…

…(no surprises there)….

Dailies The Forty Third

…holy crap!…

…this might be more than a little prophetic…

…my browser is rejecting both the Tumblr and WordPress sites in ever increasing increments….

…have switched to an older browser still present in computer but am not sure if that won’t fall over either…

…er….

…if you don’t hear from me for a while it’s because I’m still figuring out a work around or how to buy a new computer without money!…

…er….

…might see you soon!….

…might not…

…(seems to have righted itself 4 days later…hmmm…could be something that wordpress upgraded without considering older browsers…)….(fingers crossed)…(let the budgeting for new tech’ begin regardless)…
