Canvas - fangirl's homage to a favorite character

Post by Monica »

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. :mrgreen:

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.

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/stargate

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.
