I don’t know if anyone else had a figure quite as creepy as mine, but it really freaks me out. As I was painting this thing, I couldn’t help but think about Hollywood images of dolls in the context of bad horror movies such as Child’s Play and whatever else features 12 inch tall, plastic, needle wielding murderers. I know there are more of them. Maybe its because I took some pleasure in torturing this doll. I mean, she only cost a dollar, right? And besides, she is balding and her arms aren’t even the same color as the rest of her body. I was almost doing her a favor.
Anyway, a few of the pictures turned out to be pretty interesting. I had a few favorites, but I chose this one because I really like the sense of motion and vertigo I got from it after altering it a bit. This could almost be a whole series, like different crime scene investigations involving a scary-looking doll. If I only had the time… Oh well. Different project for a different era. Perhaps this is the beginning of an interesting idea though.
