So in English we were given a list of projects to do based on our independent reading book we just read. I picked the two life-sized cut-outs. My dad cut the wood out for me and I painted. The characters are Oly Binewski and the Binewski twins Ely and Iphy from Katherine Dunn's fantastic novel Geek Love. The characters are so complex; it really is an amazing read.
Here they are completed:
So these are the two (actually three)characters I chose to use. On the left is Olympia Binewski, an albino hunchback dwarf. She is the narrator of the book. On the right are the twins Elektra and Iphigenia(respectively), and they are conjoined at the hip and share two legs. It is quite interesting, everything that they share.
Elly and Iphy( not completed here) My dad later used his airbrush on the twins' cheeks.
Little Oly. My dad also used his airbrush to give her the tint of her glasses.
