Voodoo-Pooh!
I stumbled upon these at work. These dolls are a little cute, but even more creepy. The photos don't really do justice to the fact of how creepy these dolls are but at least you can see. They look like the were pulled from an alter that's anti-Disney. I wanted to buy the pooh doll, but decided not to, these pictures are good enough.

Yarn-Man and Old Lady 6pg. Extravaganza!
Hello readers out there!
Here is the final for my Comics 101 class that I took.
Basically, we had to create some characters, then build the story around them, then create the world that its set in. Comics 101 was an amazing class, and this final six page assignment was a blast from beginning to end.
So "Yarn-Man Gets a Job!" was born. I thought "what is the weirdest, most kookiest job that he could get," and that's when I decided become the assistant for a mad scientist. I drew from and created a slight parody of the 1931 Frankenstein film and let the story flow from there.
I hope you all enjoy!

Comic (Scrap)Book - Fun Project!
Hey everybody, hope you are all safe and in good weather. Thankfully where I am at the snow has stopped and I am safely indoors, although there is a layer of snow over twelve inches outside. Begin the cabin fever!
Here is a fun project that you might enjoy if you are stuck in your house or just bored.
Honestly it stems from me being a pack rat and wanting to hoard a lot of things, especially the comic sections in daily newspapers. I was running out of space; I needed to downsize it was that bad. I began to look through my papers and was just about to throw them away because I didn't read most of the comic strips on the pages; I only liked one or two (and just wanted to save those). I began to cut the ones I wanted to save and throw away the rest, and presto I now have a big pile of comics.
I have been putting comic strips into sketch books for a while just for fun, so that while in my classes I could look through and get a smile. Pretty soon that's almost all that was in my sketch book. I look back at all my "comic books" and have a great time reading through them. Hope you enjoy and have a blast when you are finished!
Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Before you begin placing your comics in the empty sketch book, first create an interesting cover for your "comic book." It's design doesn't have to necessarily be about comics or have comics on the cover, it's whatever you are interested in at the time. Although this can be done at any step, you could even wait till the end to create your cover.
Once I have all my materials gathered I start out with finding an order to how I am going to put the comics into the sketch book. If you have a big enough stack you can organize them by comic name, size, color/b&w, orientation (horizontal/vertical), or no order at all. I prefer to organize the comics by orientation first just for the fact that I don't have to turn the book to the side then back to its original position as I turn the page, but other than that I prefer being a little random just to make the book interesting and not predictable. It's however you want it though; it's your "comic book"
A helpful hint if you are organizing your book by orientation is to start at both ends of the book so that you can have vertical on one and horizontal on the other, and meet to fill the book.
When you have decided on your order you can start putting the comics in your book. Apply the mod podge to the back of a comic with a brush. The glue will go beyond the edge of the comic, that's why you need a work surface that you can make messy. A good brush for applying the medium is a one inch; you can apply a lot of glue quickly. A little bit of mod podge goes a long way though, apply a thin coating to the back of your comic then lay it down where you want it on the page. I prefer to not put any mod podge on the front of the comics because I love the look and feel of the bare newspaper.
When you have filled the page and make sure there isn't any extra glue around the comics (it'll smudge, and it'll be fine) close the book so that the pages don't wrinkle too much, and make sure the pages don't stick together.
While your page is drying wash out your brush in the sink or in the cup of water. Mod podge dries quickly so be sure to get you brush cleaned out fast and cleaned out good. Dry it with the washcloth. When the page is dry (I usually wait 15-20 minutes) you can repeat on the next page, and so on and so forth until your book is full and you can begin again.
Hope you have as much fun with this as I do. Enjoy!
Sincerely,
W.B.F.

Rodney the Zombie. Issue #1. Set #5. (I'm back!!!)
Okay, well, I am back. Please bear with me and this blog. My apologies for the long absence, but a lot has been happening in my life and there is still a lot to come. Some of the things that have happened in the past one and a half months are the holidays (of course), a week long road trip/vacation (thank goodness for it), work (unfortunately), planning a cross country move for my boyfriend and myself, and finishing my comic class.
A great thing that has come from my absence is the fact that I have had some time to work on my own comics; slowly yet surely I have been working on a six page story with the characters 'Yarn-Man and Old Lady' that I am fully pleased with both in story and how it's drawn. When I am finished inking and adding the grey tones I will post it here.
Another great thing that I discovered is the fact that I need to take things easy on here. This is my first blog, and I pushed myself to keep an order every week by having a certain amount of posts and I quickly burned myself out. That's also why I took the long break from Dementia Comics. With this discovery I am just going to post in a more relaxed manner; taking it easy and enjoying it for myself. If you want to keep track and be up to date with Dementia Comics you can subscribe to this blog in the side bar to your right.
Here is where I left off in Rodney the Zombie, issue #1. Previously: Rodney happens to be a zombie...and an actor, but has been fired from a movie because he refuses to be a typical zombie; he won't be typecast into a normal role for a zombie or act like every other zombie in the film industry. Upon leaving the studio he waits for the bus, and just his luck, it begins to rain. Hope you enjoy this weeks installment of Rodney the Zombie!

Katy Perry - Firework.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw
As an artist I have had trouble, for some time now, finding inspiration or a driving force to create anything. I am still creating, yes, through my comics, but I am a painter and a sculptor at heart. There are many reasons for why I am paralyzed in a creative funk, but I won't go into the details of those reasons.
Just follow the link above.
This video gives me hope, it inspired me. After watching Katy Perry's video for her song 'Firework' I wanted to paint something, anything, or sculpt something; it made me smile and laugh, and have hope that everything will be all right.
I hope that when you watch this video you have the same reaction as I have, or at least some feeling of happiness and joy, or hope.
Sincerely,
W.B.F.
