Kitsch

Wandering the world with a new pair of of sunglasses and a cosmic cat shirt.

Howlovely.

Meet Werewolf Erin. She thinks that wolf whistling is xenophobic to her kind, but can be cheered up with a scratch behind the ears or dog biscuits.
Inspired by my own photo, which you can see here. 

In Your Head.

Meet Zombie Erin. She doesn't like Colgate and says she has a phobia of getting lock jaw. You may run into, or away from, her as she wanders aimlessly around and about in search of fresh human brains.
Inspired by the hit TV series "The Walking Dead". I think it could have been done with more precision, but it was getting late and I grew tired and fussy. 

Suck me.

Meet Nakey Erin. She loves looking off whimsically to the side with her eyes only half open to give this illusion that she is a meaningful individual. In actual fact, she is a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.
Was just an average photo that I decided to do something plain and ordinary with.

Fire.

Meet Hotheaded Erin. She says smoking is made easier for people like her but admits that low hanging branches are problematic for her condition. She sometimes wishes she could braid her hair without getting third degree burns.
Inspired by the elements. I am thinking of doing water, air and earth as well, though the means have escaped me as of late.

La Ballade of Lady and Bird.

Meet Earth-Child Erin. She likes all things Earth related, barr most parasites and when there is too much or too little milk in her cereal.
Things have gone a little haywire for me so I spent a day recently sitting in the backyard watching nature and attempting to take photos of all the amazing moments I usually miss to witness. During this time I noticed all the dead leaves that had accumulated in piles under one of the trees and I envisioned hands creeping through it like snakes. And this is the resulting photo.

Where The Wild Things

Model: Tara

Photographer: Erin Johnston (Shooshoosaidthemaiden)

The dress she is wearing is mine, and I also styled her hair and applied her make up.

Hairy Maclary and Animorph

Meet Hairy Erin. She believes that hairdressers are the devil reincarnated and that all life's little hiccups can be solved with a dollop of Pantene, lathered and repeated.
I've had this idea in my head for a while and after someone mentioned that my hair was what "made" most of my photos, I decided to do a number of shoots inspired by my hair. I'm wearing my Christmas dress that I received off of my boyfriend a little bit early (he also got some of his). People say I look like a pixie when I am in it. 

Meet Lion Erin. She prides herself on having eyes like David Bowie, but hates his song "Diamond Dogs". She says she gets mistaken for Simba's daughter too often to count and says men love her sexy smile.
When this fellow mentioned that he thought my hair was what "made" most of my photos, I thought of a lion and its mane. So I decided to animorph myself. I had trouble deciding what animal to splice myself with, so I resorted back to the original idea of lion. I think I may do many of these and further experiment.

Four legged Erin.

I reckon it appear as though I'm some form of four legged animal, somewhat like the cartoon character Catdog. I decided on not wearing any clothes so that I could easily blend the two halves, but I tried to make it as modest as I could.

Two-faced.

Wanted to do two different faces, one looking down, the other up. But it didn't look as pleasing as this one. The shoulders aren't the same though.

First blog.

I finally decided to begin blogging. I don't exactly know what I'm going to be blogging about, but I'm sure I'll think of something eventually. To start it off here's my latest photo that I've taken and edited of myself:

Lately I've seen heaps of photos where the person in them is covering their entire face with their hands. I liked the concept but didn't want to follow the crowd. I also didn't want the complete anonymity (I'd recently put up a photo where my entire face was covered by a balloon), so I came up with this. It was hard to figure out, but I think I managed OK with my limited knowledge of photoshop.
