Deathmasquerading Neoprimitive

Yeha*, never would've guessed I was overweight, right?

inspired by a very exuberant period of photog-play with the girlfriend and that one painting of the man in the bowler hat with the green apple in front of his face.

The little repousse-work in copper is "Moses in a Gas-Mask," a neoprimitivist interpretation of a project to create a deathmask via repousse in copper after the Minoan or Mainland Proto-Greek manner. Art History is a rather odd thing indeed when it gets hands-on things thrown in there.

Model: Yours Truly
Photog: The Girlfriend Fraulein (funny, because of the fact that she's the one who's actually doing some modeling these days. So a bit of a reversal from our usual roles.)

To tell you the truth if I could come up with a counterpoint of writing which would fit into an ID, this would be the perfect basis for a devID, showcasing my physical ineptitude and poetic flailings all in one go. Well, at least the idea of the pose, probably would do something more flamboyant with the clothing

*Yeha: A slightly duo-/trio-syllabic variant of "Yeah," ending with a whispery, wispy hiss at the end of the drawn out syllables. Equivalent to a whistle of the "impressed at the suckitude of something" variety.
