Fake Blood Recipe
I was promised the recipe years ago, but only came across it quite recently. It was worth the wait. The mixture may seem odd, but it tastes pretty good, looks surprisingly like real blood, splatters like real blood, dries like real blood, and had several people asking me if I was really okay after that staged fight....
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3 or 4 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 2 drops yellow or green food coloring (optional)
Mix the cocoa powder thoroughly into the water before adding the other ingredients - it may help to use warm water. After adding the rest, blend the concoction well, and then wait for it to settle a bit. Either skim the bubbles & chocolate scum off the top with the edge of a kleenex, or pour the mixture into another container. The longer it sits, the more the cocoa tends to settle to the bottom, which oddly mimicks the effect of real blood seperating.
If you splatter this mixture onto cloth, it makes neat two-part marks which dry into pretty convincing bloodstains. If you let it run from a victim's mouth and then let it dry, the blood darkens and cakes to the skin in much the same way real blood does. I can also say from personal experience that any washcloth used to wipe down the 'bloody' face afterwards looks remarkably realistic, too.

Been a little absent
Been a little absent due to lack of internet access at home. All is good now and have stumbled across this thing called "Stumble". Which brought me to this guys Live Journal with a whole bunch of cool street art.
More very soon.

Scanner Darkley
Am interested in the scanner effect at the bottom of the image. Presently thinking of trying to build a scanner camera to photgraph an actor in a Guantanamo style scene.
Using the scanner effect, such as this, in combination to the scanner image to create an idea about Guantanamo prisoners having their identities scanned and broken down. Similar to sci fi movies such as 'Final Fantasy' and the scanning for demons or ghosts.
Scanners can kill
Both of these images bring about a trapped emmotion or of someone or something confined in a box. Or like in 'Superman' when the bad guys are locked away in the square thingy...
