ok ok fine…the story of the cannibal, Armin Meiwes.
Posted by resonanteye on July 10, 2009
I’ve got a few of these stories written up and waiting to get posted to the internet someplace, they’re true stories. They may have been told in more detail or with better prose on other websites, to which I include links so you can find out more if you like.
Once again, if you don’t want to read about gory gross stuff, or see yucky pictures, or you are faint of heart, skip this post. If you’re steeled and ready for the worst, go ahead and read more.

ok ok fine. The story of Issei Sagawa
Posted by resonanteye on July 10, 2009
So many people have emailed me now saying that they want to know more about the image in this post, of the suitcase with the leg in it, that I feel obligated to tell a story now. This is a true story, and I will include links to more information for you, so you can find out more if you like.
If you don’t want to read anything too gory or blunt, skip this post, but if you’re interested in the whole story just read more…

It’s a tattoo. A real tattoo. Just done in browns, reddish browns, umber, sepia.
Really fun stuff tonight.
Looking forward to an action-packed weekend, also.
I’ll post more pictures tomorrow, I’ve got a stack of them waiting.

Derek Hess is one of my favorite illustrators. I’ve done a few pieces based on his work on people, the one in that link is up on his art page. I highly suggest you go look at the rest of his work, since he is so amazing.
Also, here’s an unrelated photo I took over the weekend, to keep you going. I have a lot of new stuff to post, but it’ll be tomorrow before I get a chance.

painting in progress
Posted by resonanteye on July 1, 2009
I usually don’t post paintings in progress, but I am in a generous mood today. So here you have it, some kind of strange bird creature which I am working on. It’s two feet wide by three feet tall so it might take a while.
I’m working pretty fast and loose with this one, just having fun.
I’ll certainly post the finished product when I get there.
Posting unfinished paintings seems a bit like looking at a baby pinky mouse- unformed and kind of ugly. But I guess I’ve let someone film me working start to finish, so I haven’t much left behind the curtain.
Side note: I added information to the “sales” and “about resonanteye” pages, too, if you’re interested in that sort of thing. (Go buy my work!)

an artist’s statement
Posted by resonanteye on July 1, 2009
I enjoy decay and texture, the play of light in dark. I enjoy scenes which evoke tactile interest, images which draw in the hand as well as the eye. I have a deep affection and tenderness for the pacific northwest, and for tones of grey and brown.
I’ve been painting and working with photography for twenty years.

workt
Posted by resonanteye on June 30, 2009
Worked on a huge tree tonight. It was wicked fun. She sat for two hours on her ribs, which is a long time all things considered.
This is our second session, she sat for three hours last time. Tough girl.
Fun times!

hunting for a manager/agent
Posted by resonanteye on June 29, 2009
I’m looking for an art agent. I can produce but I just can’t sell or promote, and I am horrible at finding shows, galleries, and keeping up with where all my shit is. I can’t seem to sell a damn thing because I am terrible at the promotional aspects of this work.
If there is anyone willing to shop my art around, to corporations (for my bigger abstract work) to galleries (for my smaller more personal work) and to group shows, magazines, ad companies, etc etc etc…please drop me a line. I’d pay a percentage of any sales, we could talk about that. Making and delivering prints, setting up shows and working with sales would be the job…I don’t think it’d pay enough unless you were really fucking good, to be a fulltime job or anything, but it would be a nice sideline for someone motivated who knows about art and can dig out opportunities for me to market and sell my shit.
Either that or if you work with an agent yourself who is seeking new artists, let me know that too. I have no idea where to start the hunt for someone to manage me.
So…
Drop me a line, if this sounds like you, and you’re somewhere near me, pacific northwest at least, oregon preferably…

painting, animals
Posted by resonanteye on June 29, 2009
Went out and about, Fall Creek, the Willamette, even down the canal. Saw some creatures, a nutria family, raccoons fighting, ducks being boring ducks…went to see the swallows that live in the chimney but they never flocked in?
Had a sweet visit from a fella. Painting a big board right now. That should be done in a few days. Gonna be trying to work this week, more, too. I gotta pay for catboxes, rc cars, and some kind of metal tubes for a car to make it faster…all kinds of shit. Also, I need to pay the electric bill.
Wish I could say more. <3
Oh yeah! I almost forgot. I added a new batch of photos to my print page at http://resonanteye.deviantart.com/gallery/
They’re not that expansive, and very nice. I think. There’s some of my paintings there as well. Go buy some, help put me back through college (again)

personal and political and business-like
Posted by resonanteye on June 24, 2009
I’m going a bit under with my personal posts for a while, those of you who have enjoyed them do not fear, I’ll be able to resume that kind of thing pretty soon. I’m simply trying to figure out how to discuss my own life without compromising the privacy and safety of those close to me. This is a hard thing to fgure out, and a difficult balance to find. I’m working on it though, so give me a little while.
In the meantime, politics, art, and ranting about holidays. And loads of pictures, for you to look at.

scaring myself
Posted by resonanteye on June 24, 2009
issei sagawa's box
I read a lot of scary shit. I look at frightening pictures, watch horror movies, and sit up until the late hours, reading anything creepy I can find. The last two nights I’ve been re-reading “The Thing on the Doorstep”, then I headed over to a creepy story forum, and read about people’s experiences with monsters of various kinds, watched a bunch of scary videos, and basically gorged myself on fear.
So here I am, just got done chatting with someone, at home, alone until my room mate gets back from work. The dog is asleep, not afraid, so that’s somewhat reassuring. But at the same time the shadows in my room are shifty and not quite wholesome, and my brain won’t let me relax.
I love a good scare. It releases something for me, some primal anxiety that’s always there. I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop, so when something actually does scare me, it’s a relief.
Just thought I’d share.

happy
Posted by resonanteye on June 22, 2009
Things are getting back to how they ought to be.
My personal life is fine, romance, friends, health, home. My work life is back on an even keel. My painting is happening as it should. Things seem to be going well.
I’m glad it’s summer.

dear gay friends
Posted by resonanteye on June 14, 2009
from t-shirt hell's website
Dear gay friends,
You know, I’ve been proposed to three times in my life. Twice it was very bad timing, or not someone I wanted to marry. The third time I … I just don’t think I was ready for it. But at any rate now, in retrospect, even if the timing had been perfect and the love of my life had been asking, I should have said no anyway, because you guys can’t get hitched yet either, and I don’t think that’s fair.
Personally I am not big on the idea of marriage (although I’m not opposed to it) and I really don’t think anyone should be in the military to begin with- but I also think that there is no reason that some people should be prevented from doing what others freely can.
In short, I’m on your team, for the duration.
Love,
Me

threesome
Posted by resonanteye on June 14, 2009
This is from quite some time ago, but I thought I should eventually post it.
It’s hard enough to get tattooed by two people, but our friend from down under sat for the three of us for several hours on his rib cage, which is just over the top.
It’s a northwest-native-style kangaroo aboriginal xray…thing.

this morning
Posted by resonanteye on June 14, 2009
Some good conversation, and also, there were ducks hanging out, eating slugs in my garden. Ducks are awesome. These two were friendly as hell, I got right up on them and tapped on a bill. The male wagged his ass at me, even. It was great. Today was pretty great in general.
On another note, here’s a link to a story I was interviewed for, from the Eugene Weekly. Interesting stuff.

candy arm
Posted by resonanteye on June 11, 2009
Not the best or biggest photo.
Every once in a while someone has an idea that’s just so funny, or cute, that I get really happy to tattoo it. Jo’s candy arm is like that, every time I’ve tattooed her I get all happy inside. Maybe it’s the sugar rush? Or just because she’s an awesome person who makes me laugh. Or the bright colors?
I’ve never had a sweet tooth, actually I’ve had too many cavities to like sweet things much! But somehow every time I see this tattoo I want to eat the hell out of some gummy bears.
And then there’s also the tattoos that just walk in and turn out to be super fun, stuff that wasn’t planned but has a sense of whimsy to it. Like this jellyfish. Again, bright hapy colors, flow, fun times.
I’ll be at the shop friday and I’ll post some more updates after that!
