Canvas - fangirl's homage to a favorite character
Canvas - fangirl's homage to a favorite character
DH has been gone since Friday afternoon on a business trip, so I've been marathoning Stargate Atlantis and working on a canvas of one of my favorite characters from the show. I have a thing for cute, brainy guys with glasses..... Doctor Radek Zelenka is a Czech scientist and a great character. This is one of those shows I really wish hadn't been canceled; it was such a great show! Anyway, after searching for photos online and printing off a bunch of them, I initially started out with the idea to scrap a couple pages on some space-themed papers, but it shortly evolved into a 24"x24" canvas. I used Lindy's Stamp Gang color shots on the canvas, pooling a color at a time and heating it with a heat gun, until I got the look I wanted. I was coordinating the color scheme with one piece of pp that I also attached to the canvas. Once I had everything attached I took it outside and generously sprayed it with sealer. SO, anyway.... here's the geeky fangirl's homage to Dr. Radek Zelenka.

love
but then again that was one of my fav's too. I've watched and rewatched to the point I can recite most of the episodes.
I always love Rodney & Zelenka interacting.
so very cool!

I never watched it, either, but it's a really cool project. I absolutely love the background.

Ok, I never even heard of this show but spray inks and heat guns sounds cool and he is kinda cute!

Great job on the canvas. What a wonderful way to pay tribute.
Re: Canvas - fangirl's homage to a favorite character
Thanks, everyone!
Have you ever checked out the audio books? There are 2 by David Nykl (Zelenka). Not sure they are doing any more new ones, which is a shame, but the scripts for these are great! http://bigfinish.com/ranges/released/stargateChristyB wrote:love

The very last official Stargate convention will be in Chicago in August. If only I had the time and money.....

I'll have to see if he has a FB page. He does have an active Twitter account, so I broke down and finally signed up for twitter just to tag him. (I did mention the geeky fangirl thing, right? )

Great canvas - I must admit I never saw it or heard of it either.
