Video - Why A Christmas Song Makes Me Think Of Car Crashes

WARNING: This one is graphic and may be upsetting!

This ad aired in 1997 on Australian television, when I was nice and young.
Ever since then, I visualize car crash victims when I here "So this is Christmas".

It didn't help that the TAC has/had run a series of graphic ads about car crashes, which only adds to the images I can see in my head.

On the plus side, I'm now desensitised, so I can get onto administering first aid quicker should I need to (touch wood I never need to).

Daiso - Magical Triple Face Powder

This only cost $1.40... it was not worth $1.40

The packaging is nice: good mirror, sturdy construction.

There was no puff/brush included, which sucked.

The powder itself was an interesting colour choice: white (good highlighter) light blue (ok?) and mid blue (wat?).

I could get behind this, but there is too much glitter/shimmer in this powder to be a good all over face powder.

If i ever need to look like a zombie/dead this will be really handy but until then, this just makes your face look pallid.

I am SET to play the corpse bride one Halloween party.

Price: 5/5
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Art break - part 7, the pallid horse

It took two passes to be happy with my pallid horse, at first I had it's teeth showing through it's face, but it didn't look right.

So I have done the horse, the hour glass (notice time has run out on it), the scythe and some fires in the background.

And what is that on which my work rests upon?

Please ignore the other mess in the craft/games room I don't want to mess with my housemate's things.

I bought an easel! I'm a real artist now! :P

For the pallid horse, I had to study some horse pictures to get an idea of structure (I didn't grow up around the beasts).

For stance, I used this photo as a guide:

Also, there are bits of flesh missing (dead creatures are often careless in this fashion) and it's eyes are clouded.

I did the coat in green and purple hues, so there was no mistaking it's lack of health.

One of the inspirations for the horse's face was a painting done by my own (alleged) father:

I have since been told it may be a cow... I say horse!

Given that he has arthritis in both hands, this will probably be one of his only works.

I have started Death, but he isn't completed yet, he needs a little more definition. 
Although check out his eyes, they look... hollow...
Sometimes things just work, like his eyes...

Hollow...

Soon

Next: finishing Death!
