Vulgar Army On Hold


Need to take a break from the Vulgar Army for a while. Regular updates probably won’t occur until I get back from Europe. Reasons for this are: 1) I am finding it very difficult to maintain interest in it over a long period of time, 2) I want to use media apart from pen and ink in it. Pen and ink just isn’t suitable for depicting a luscious attack of giant killer octopus of divers. It needs to be painted, not drawn. I have a list of various aspects of the octopus in media that have yet to be covered, so it will return!

Vulgar Army Postcard


Vulgar Army PostcardThis is the image is the source for the title of this project. Can you guess why it is called the “vulgar” army? Can you, can you?

This is a is a pen & ink and acrylic on ~5?×7? stretched calico canvas. I wanted it to look like a battered post card so I scuffed it with a piece of sandpaper. This is one of those images that I went, “drat, I ruined it” after I added the text. Oh well, I still like it.
