it's all calypso

remember those lion/lamb hybrids from march on? finally took some pictures.
it was a total trial and error process for me, the whole 'hybridization' through sewing, and after seeing how they turned out:


, i wish i had kept more of them separate. the concept was not executed the way i had seen it in my minds eye; is that not one of the most frustrating things working as an artist? to visual something so strongly and have the tangible outcome so far from what you saw. these things happen, and i'm glad to learn from them though. i realize the imagery of the two animals are too disconjoined; there is something that is needed to link them better together, probably a body, huh? haha. i wish the sense that makes right now had appeared to me in my creative process, but there is always a next time.

the lion now seems comical to me, whereas the lamb is able to hold a certain serenity and depth in it's face.
