Demi Moore Exposed
I guess in truth it’s the staffers who photo shop these disasters who are exposed. Not that it matters really; these quick fixes are a daily part of fashion photography. Moore keeps insisting though that her photo wasn’t re-touched. If that were true, she couldn’t walk on this leg. Here’s what I did with Demi [...]
Demi Moore Lost a Bit of Thigh
Really, this is just insulting to those of us who Photo Shop. I can’t believe that the person who shopped this photo got paid. The shopper just cut out a sliver of her hip and thigh to make her look thinner. You can see in the close up that the shopper didn’t even bother to [...]
Halloween Fashion 911
The doorbell rang a little before eight tonight. I opened the door to find a woman on my doorstep, clutching a pile of black fabric. “Are you Suzi?’ she asked. “Yes.” “Do you make costumes?” “I do, yes.” (I was wondering how she found me and why she was on my doorstep.) “Do you do [...]
The Pink Sofa
I’m taking my sticky post off but first I’ll tell you the story. Jim and I were out walking along the cliffs at Pleasure Point and there he was, a man sitting on a pink sofa, clutching a beer, his feet resting on a skateboard, and I had my camera with me. What luck. After [...]
Halloween 2009
Another Halloween is just around the corner. This is Lola-my-dummy wearing Autumn Fire. Now that I’ve seen the photo, I’ve decided to make the head dress larger. You would think I could have figured that out while Lola was standing in front of me. I’m busy finishing up the last few costumes that I have [...]
The Art of Costuming
Costuming people is very much an internal process for me. I don’t do characters from television or movies, they don’t really express anything. I like challenges, creating wearable art even if it’s something that will be worn for just a single season. I do witches however – a common October creature but only if I’m [...]
Artsy Fartsy with Food
A Recipe for a Bad Hair Day I made a hat out of bread. I discovered that it’s nearly impossible to make a hat out of real bread without it falling to pieces. Real bread is the kind that comes from your own oven or, if it comes from the bakery/boulangerie, it has a very [...]
An Art Piece for String Theory
I had to think about piece for a long time, and play around with a few different things, before I settled on this art piece for the post Baby Sitting on an Open String, which refers to string theory in physics.
Science – A Creative Challenge
Six photo composites. In the post We Live in a Bubble Somewhere? in the category Me Be Stupid, I had to come up with something that would illustrate the conversation I had with my husband about physics – that we might be living on a membrane, like a water droplet on a shower curtain.
