Hearing things wrong can be funny!

I love the band Foreigner!
And I love their song Juke Box Hero!
I hear things wrong on occasion,.... this was one of those times!

I'm gonna rock ya, then quench ya thirst, and then I'm goin' save the day!
(puts me to mind of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

I got this idea from Kelly's stepmom Jen,..I recently showed her and Chris-(Kelly's dad) my work and they liked it a lot
The horn isn't french in type,...but that's what makes it funny to me!
And hopefullly you fine folks out there in the internet land!



You'd be angry too,..if dog's pee'd on you!

Hay! Yo! (yo) What's Up?

I got the inspiration for this at work. I work at a craft store. And as I've mentioned in earlier posts, we sell dumb things. We sell bails of hay,...and I saw one of my co-workers pushing a cart of it around. I said to her "HEY" and then realizing what I said-( I apparently am funnier to myself then anyone else) I began to laugh.... so I probably looked kinda insane.

Oh well,...

if they can't take a joke

fuck'em!

A Candy Bar

The ButterFinger dropped a tray of drinks because he's got, . . . well, ya know.
And the Snickers,...well,... you guys probably get it

PIE RAT!

A Rat in a Pie tin! A Pie Rat!! Get it?!

I love puns,...and pie

Slinky + Business Cards = C O O L

Take one mini-metal Slinky (cuz plastic Slinky's iz fo wussies) add a couple Neodymium magnets-(also why you need the metal Slinky) and VIOLA:
A cool looking, cheap business card holder!










The previous post is a robot scultpure holding business cards. Hopefully one day I'll have a place to put all of these cards where I can hand them out / people can take them. But until then I will trudge along slowly but surely in this great fultile effort of being AWESOME-(said with much Hubris :)
Seriously though,....it would be amazing to be able to have the chance to do what I love to do and have the recognition & money that I want and deserve for my work(s)

Business Card Robot!

*If only I had a place to peddle my wares,..
this business card holder might actually be relevant*

** A marketing project I did in high school. I missed the point of the project and I would've failed the project, If not for my teacher thinking the idea was funny **

Sock-tapus!

An Octopus with socks! That is all!

OctoPhant!

* I like Octopi & Squids,...in case you haven't noticed that there are a bunch of them in my work*
I'm still not totally convinced that anybody actually reads this blog, other than the few great "followers" I have. 'cuz in theory a ton of folks could be looking at my blog,just not "following" it)
It seems tantamount to taking photos, drawing, and or notes & putting them in sealed bottles and tossed them into the ocean,...an on-line "E" ocean I guess,...
which makes the squid &octopi theme oddly apropros
A N Y W A Y S ! ! !
BEHOLD!!! The -OctoPhant!- An Octopus,Elephant hybrid! It has elephant trunk for tentacles -( still with suckers) It can propel itself through the water by pushing water out of it's trunks!
(seems like the kind of animal that should've been on Avatar: The Last Air Bender!)

R _ o - B _ o - T !

A big robot with crazy hair! The head of this robot I made about a 8 months ago, and it sat on a shelf until 1 month ago,...it's odd how certain things are only ready to be completed after time has passed.
The eyes are l.e.d capsules for wedding favors or some such damn thing-( my work sells dopey things) any ways,....he's about 1-1/2 ft. tall and made of multiple piece of wire, different thicknesses & different malleability. Wire mesh, framing hardware, springs, metal tubing,and whisk handles were also used
I consider this to be a work in progress,... more pics will follow to update it's progress

P A D D L E !

I made this paddle as a joke for a former co-worker of mine.
All jokes aside though, how bad-ass is this thing?!?
From the tip to pommel it measures about 24" , 1" thick and about 10" wide!
Several coats of walnut stain were used, with a matte finish coating to seal it. The handle was wrapped in black suede (similarly to how a hockey stick is wrapped) metal upholstery nails, with an antique hammered finish, were used to make it more intimidating. More of those nails were used to add additional grip to the sides of the handle.

So apparently I can update my blog, via txt msg, WIN! But I can not up load pics . .

Spontaneous Wire Sculpture?

I came into work today drinking a RedBull-(as I often do:) I set my things down near my work station. I then got called away by my boss, so I left my drink by my things,...
I come back an hour or so later and discovered this:



How cool would that be if I could animate that into stop motion! It would a hell of a commercial for RedBull or Leatherman,...and more importantly for me!
Well it's a nice thought and a cool visual,... but totally unrealistic.
But a guy can dream can't he? Whadaya mean no?! Ah screw it,.... one day I'll be sucessful, . . . . or I won't

Wire Flower in pot

Another being bored at work situation. Only 5 pieces of wire were used for this piece! And I used screws in a tin container as a planter for it!!
( i'm still pretty sure no one looks at this blog,...ahhh the hell with it :)

Boredom at work

Being bored at work!

Epic wire battles!

Paper clip guy

I used to manage a fine art store. I worked in all departments of the store. Eventually I worked at the corporate level,.. so I was EXTREMELY BORED a lot of the time. Most days I would get all of my work done by about 2 or 3 o'clock.... so I would goof off or doodle,...and one day i made a sculpture out of vinyl coated paper clips,. . . no tools were used, just my hands,...
Then years later-( being bored at a different job) I started sculpting again!

WHISK FLOWER !

My 9-5 job (to put it delicately) sells really dumb things,..I can not mention by name where I work due to a social media contract I signed, ya know just in case something I say ruffles corporates feathers. But any-hoo,...my work used to sell these vinyl coated colored whisks. (and not even in good colors) As you can image they didn't sell,...at all. So there were clearanced. I bought a bunch of 'em.
It sits on top of a re-purposed c.d/d.v.d wire rack, with some of works in progress
*I used a few of them to make a large robot, to be posted soon*

Wire Critter doodle

I made this critter while sitting at family party. All of us were in the back yard and there were scraps of heavy wire. You know me, have Leatherman will travel. Being bored as often as I am, and having a mini utlity belt on me, sometimes I'm like a large Gremlin. I bend, tighten, unscrew, straighten, and cut stuff,... and sometimes it's constructive. This wire doodle now sits in Kelly's mom's kitchen on a window ledge.

Wire Shrimp!

I made this little guy while sitting in a meeting at work, bored outta my mind.
Unfortunately, my 9-5 job is often very, very, boring. And it doesn't really give me an adequate outlet for my creative needs. The meeting ended, I tossed him in the pocket of my hoodie and went on with day,...later on it fell out of my pocket and I left him with my friend Lori. Later on, she sent me a pic of it on her dashboard!

Octopus Prime!
