Challenge #9 Create a Portrait of a Townsperson

This one is easy. My portrait is of a well-known sculptor who was also my mentor. The piece captures my friend right down to his signature brass belt buckle and a redbird sitting on his shoulder. Materials: welded steel

Challenge #8 - Sell Yourself

I have an idea for a tattoo that has been rumbling in my brain. So a T-shirt with this.
Probably would get me booted but still...it wants to come to life, so...

Materials: T-shirt, paint Update: The T-shirt thing won't work. Four inches of snow outside...can't spray there. Don't want to be trapped indoors with that smell, so BADGES/PATCHES. Images painted on 100% cotton that contain provocative images which can be sewn to clothing, glued onto notebooks, etc. Versitile Art.

Challenge #5 Rip it from the Headlines of The New York Times

"COST OF WAR"
Veteran's Day-the newspaper is crammed with articles and pictures honoring the service of men and women fighting in America's wars. Today's society thinks almost nothing of the current wars. It's an all volunteer military. It's sanitized. We don't think about it. We, as a nation, don't consider the destruction-physical and psychological scars and death. My piece is to make everyone think about it. We own the blood.
Materials: Newspaper, Marker, Paint, Tape
