Motorized Barstool, part deux


So, remember back a couple of weeks ago... that story about "Chalice"? The lady who got a DWI ticket for taking a riding mower on a beer run? What could make that story better? What if I said I just found out that she drove all the way to the deli on the riding mower and the lawn mower was ENGAGED the whole time... you know, blade spinning, chopping stuff up, gravel and rocks and trash flying everywhere? What if I told you she walked into the deli completely covered in dust from said spinning mower blade? What if I told you she walked up to the counter, ordered two packs of cigarettes and when asked for payment, she slammed a big jar full of pocket change on the counter and said "Count it yourself!"?

NO?

Wow... you're a tough crowd.

Okay... what if I told you that while the cashier was staring slack jawed at the jar full of change she had just stuck him with, "Chalice" turned around, grabbed a 24-pack of The King Of Beers, bolted out of the store, fired up the riding mower and peeled out of there like some japanese game show version of the Dukes Of Hazzard?

HOW DID NO ONE GET VIDEO OF THIS?

    You just know they are going to make this whole scenario into an event on Minute To Win It.

    Let the games begin!

Staff Infection!

A couple of weeks ago, my  friend Carol Davies called me up and asked me if I'd be willing to create a prop for the Edmonds School District musical. They're doing Disney's "Aladdin" (it seems like everyone is doing Disney's "Aladdin" this year... in fact, Edmonds is so fond of the idea, they're doing it in two different schools with two different casts! Meadowdale Middle School  This weekend! Edmonds Elementary Anyway, I needed to make the staff for Jafar, the bad guy... remember him? So I grabbed a broomstick, some wire, a gallon of Elmer's Glue, Reynolds Wrap, some paper towels and newsprint, and a little polymer clay and went to work!  But, of course it needed to be gold, so I had to make a trip to Lowe's for some spray paint...   Instant Evil! Good Luck, Everybody!

A week with the kids...

Image
This week, I had one of the best part time jobs in the world... teaching stage combat to a bunch of kids in a summer program. I had done it last summer and like last summer it was challenging and fun and over waaay too fast. Eleven kids, eight to twelve years old and five three hour sessions, to give them some knowledge of stage combat and physical comedy. They were total kids... silly, spastic, charming, needy, unbelievably creative, completely exhausting. Awkward, beautiful, fragile, clumsy, glorious kids. The first day of the session I asked them to write their names on pieces of paper, so that i could take mugshots of them and hopefully get some idea of their personalities and imaginations. Best idea I've had in a while... I had kids who knew each other, kids who hung out together, kids who'd never met before. It's amazing how fast they make friends with each other. I came in that first day and started tossing around some basketballs, hoping they might play. I shouldn...

Long Live the Queen!

Have I told you I love mermaids? Maybe it's the idea of blending two different worlds, maybe it's fantasizing about being Aquaman when I was seven years old in the surf at Coney Island. But there's something wonderful about the idea of people living in a world beneath the sea. What do they used for furniture? Or telephones... well, there, at least, the answer's obvious... So the above piece came about when I found some atrocious wall deco at TJ MAXX (how often do I say that?). It was a pair of copper colored scallop shell wall hangings. I immediately saw Elizabeth the First-style frilly colors, but from another dimension.  I wanted to create that feel, but with a certain otherworldliness... if you look closely at the piece, you'll see pearls and green and brown glass gems in her hair... which isn't hair so much as flowing seaweed, with bits of gold and copper leaf pressed into the clay. I did her hair by taking leaf shapes I cut out with cookie cutters and str...
