Kidrobot Robot Devil Keychain

Love it. Hanging out in style in the letterpress box.
 
This bad boy is from a random pack from Kidrobot.... bad habit.
 They currently sell for $20 on Amazon if you want the sure thing. Too much to buy one and not enough to sell one if you ask me

A draft of my next painting done in photoshop. I would like to change the quote to latin. Is "Adiuvo Facientes" accurate?

DIY: crayon sculpture carving

All of my crayon sculptures






If you see the images of what people who are really good at this do the idea is intimidating but it is really not that hard to make some cruder forms.

You will need:
crayon
mechanical pencil OR a sharp pottery tool like this one


This is a fun project that takes nothing you do not already have in the house.
Just sharpen the pencil by rubbing it at an angle and go to town.

I like to work from the head down so that you do nothing after making the very delicate legs.
Next up a Crayola nativity scene.

DIY: Dr Zoidberg Halloween Costume.

Whats that? you want to build a fabulous Crabulous Futurama Halloween costume?






Well here is what you will need:
Knit pink Stocking cap, Gloves, and scarf. (I picked these up in a single pack at Walgreen's for like $10) You might score these pretty cheap on Amazon. The trick is to find all three in a very similar color. The hat must be the long kind that you can pull down over your entire head.
White lab coat. Blue scrubs. Sandals. White Paper. Sewing kit. Black Sharpie. Scissors. Glue.

Lets start with the head
Make sure that the hat is big enough to pull down below your chin.
With the hat on your head draw marks that line up with your eyes and mouth with the sharpie.
Now cut small ~1/2" holes at the eye marks and a larger 2" hole for your mouth.
Optional you may want to stitch up the frayed ends around the holes so that you are not eating hat fuzz all the time. This should also increase the life span of the head.

Now take some extra tassle from the scarf and thread it around the bottom of the hat so that you can tighten it around your neck as shown in the video:


Eyes
Cut 2" circles of paper and fill draw dark circles in the middle.
Cut the middle of the circles out leaving a thin rim of black to simulate cartoon eyes.
Glue the eyes to the head carefully lining up the holes.
Tentacles
Cut the four fingers off of one of the gloves leaving the thumb intact.
Stuff the fingers with shredded newspaper.
Sew closed.
Sew on where your nose is when wearing the hat. This will hide your nose bulge and cover your mouth hole.
Claws
Cut two pieces of the scarf in the rounded shape of the big half of the claw.
Sew these together on all sides but the side that you will need to slip your fingers in.
Sew it to the fingerless glove converting it to a mitten.
Repeat but simply slide the claw over the fingers of the intact glove. (I left this as a convertible glove/mitten in order to have some ability to manipulate objects.)

Getting suited up
Use the remainder of the scarf to cover your neck first and then put on the remaining articles. Here is the final product (shown with one claw in glove form).
