What's the distinction between a reproduction and a replica?

Thanks! Technically cheating because it's the first skull I posted, but I wanted to show off the rest of the costume

My kids' costumes were a big hit at the Trunk-or-treat. Here's a more dramatic shot of the #spacemarine with lights on. #zombie #halloween #scifi #horror #costumes #cosplay #darkart #zombieskulltober

And this photo I've never even published because the exposure is so bad. All three photos from abandoned nuclear reactor sites.

Waxing Crescent The geometry and plays of light created by the vast curves of this structure deserve better documentation than I and my measly camera can provide. Spider Valley Nuclear Reactor Cooling Tower

And I am even more astounded when looking at the rest of the Lumen series, Because there are more echoes between our work. www.flickr.com/photos/avius...

It's astounding. When I saw your painting in my feed, at first I thought maybe you had been there, or seen photos online that inspired you. But I read about your work and learned that your Lumen paintings are from 1997, long before the reactor site I photographed had been accessible.

What's better, posting a link to Flickr or posting the photo directly? I could go either way.

Scale Distance plays tricks on the eyes in a space that curves in all directions. Human figures again provide an idea of the scope.

Thanks for re-sharing! As a new follower I didn't know about this. I am truly spooked. It's haunting and and moving in the best way. I've used a sketchbook to process trauma in the past, and it's mind-blowing how those feelings and emotions can come through in the art.

Mine was taken kind of far from the beaten path, in an abandoned nuclear power plant site near Nashville. You can see more of the location in the Flickr album. Lots of very interesting rust and monolithic concrete.

Also you should know that those foreboding bells are actually just someone clinking dishes in the kitchen, accidentally caught in my slow-mo video. But someone should lay down a pipe organ accompanyment.

Concrete and Sky Between the outer and middle containment walls, the space is dominated by vast sweeping curves, the reflections of your surroundings, and the contrast between rust-stained concrete and lush, green wet...

Ooh lovely! I think I've been there. www.flickr.com/photos/avius...

#zombieskulltober post number 7. Hand-created from several different kinds of goo. Maybe one of these times I'll post a peek at the process? #Halloween #darkart #haunting

#zombieskulltober number 7. Fresh sketch. I got too carried away with the color last time so keeping this one black and white. I also need to talk to my therapist about why so many of my zombies seem to be ex-aristocrats. Timelapse in the replies. #inktober #halloween #darkart #horror #rebelle

#zombieskulltober number 5. Posting one from a few years ago to catch up. The process for this was time-consuming, so I haven't made many more this way. The results are great though! Sold to a private collector. Hand-sculpted, mixed media. #art #darkart #horror #props #haunting #sculpture

A lot of platforms are slowly or even totally removing your ability to curate your own feed, so if their algorithm decides that slop might increase your engagement, it will start shoveling it in there without asking, even if you don't want it. That's one big reason I've forsaken Meta and Twitter.

Here's the final since the timelapse only keeps it up for 1/24 of a second. Note to self- let it record for like 10 minutes at the end.

Putting on the gooey gross parts are the most fun! I have to wear gloves.

This homemade #zombie is greeting the neighborhood dog walkers who dare to go past my house.

Hand-sculpted and painted. Body is built out of an old lamp my neighbor threw on the curb, and an old suit from the thrift store. #zombieskulltober number 2
