Introducing Danica the artist

Upon starting any repaint or diorama, the idea starts forming in my head  a while before completion. The idea for this diorama formed in my head three months ago. It did not materialize due to the fact that I had not gotten the doll that I needed to complete this project. Well... Valentines day, my wonderful husband Hampton purchased the new line of S.I.S dolls + one extra Marisa :) I was extremely excited! I had visualized this diorama and now I was gonna be able to execute it whoo hoo!

The inspiration for this diorama is my handsome brother Denys Cowan. He is a well known artist/ producer in the comic industry. He has done numerous pieces of art for the last umpteen years LOL. He has produced episodes of the Boondocks (animated cartoon ) . He did the art work for Static Shock which was also an animated cartoon on the WB network here in the East Coast. To learn more about my brother and see some of his work, just Google his name or type it into Wikipedia. A whole bunch of stuff on him pops up :) 

I am a huge fan of his work and am always inspired by him.

So..... having said all of that,

                                      Here is my newest Diorama featuring Danica The Artist

This is the before pic of  Marisa

Danica in her art studio. She just finished doing a portrait
of my brother.  That picture (a self portrait)was actually done by
Denys. Some of his work is featured
throughout the diorama.   It is up against the wall, on the floor
and there is a tiny pic of him with a cap on just behind Danica's
chair :)

Danica has been repainted using artistic acrylics
and sealers. Her hair has had saran hair added to her
own to make it longer, change the style and add body.

This diorama features several hand made items.  Bookcase is
from tiny popsicles, books,  ipod , ipad2 , pencils and watercolor pencils are all
handmade. Floral water color pic was duplicated by me :) The art on the wall
"The Creation Of Man" is a printout from the computer and not done
by my brother. The flower
vases are made from beads and little pieces of glass,  and of
course there is my favorite little pipe cleaner puppy!
