LIKE A CHAMP

Too awkward and weird and socially incompetent to even introduce myself somewhat normally and coherently on the internet, so instead, here's a thing:





Currently working on a little family of these guys; so far I have this dude pictured, standing at around 5ft tall, another one at around 3.5ft tall, and a babby one at just under 2ft.  All made with love and care out of old tights and pillow stuffing and (barely) held together with fishing wire.  Sexy canteen chair, courtesy of Wimbledon College of Art, not included.  Untitled and unresolved as of yet, but I'm looking at making an army of stuffed lumpy freaks out of a range of different materials, at different heights, with different limbs protruding (nice, I know).  There's a possibility that my model above might make an appearance in the degree show in just under 2 months time, although the setting is still in question: science lab, mortuary table, comfy chair, cult gathering, caged and locked away....endless possibilities to work through.  Poor little guys.


On a lighter note/big fat tangent, here's a constant inspiration: drawings by the man and legend himself, Mr Jeff Mangum, a.k.a the love of my life, the one, the only, etc etc etc.  I'm not even going to go there:







He'll get his own sickening post dedicated purely to what an awesome human being he is, don't worry.
