I've been turning my hand to fashion accessories these past few weeks. After a trip to Dorset I came back with a hell of a lot of skulls. I've put them to the most beautful use possible, embellishing them with my vast collection of jewelles and trinkets lovingly hoarded over a few generations of lifetime. 

8 puffins came into my life, rescued from a beach up North after that horrendous mystery oil spill a few months back. Unfortunately they weren't kept that frozen so I could only salvage the wings. Such beautiful birds!!!

One sale in a little artist emporium called Cult Mountain Cult Mountain is also on FACEBOOk

Nautical inspired headpiece featuring a fox skull, birds feet, fine feathers, shells, trinkets, faux pearls and leather.
Some wonderful soul found a woodpecker and sent it to me in the post. Soon to be resurrected as a headpiece

Like A Lamb to the Slaughter. Easter special.

Image
Like a Lamb to the Slaughter I had arranged for some people to come round. They just wanted to see what I got up to on my day off, take some picture ect.  I was planning on using a hare (it being Easter and all) but the only thing that was budging was a lamb.  I was planning on crucifying it before I knew about Gunther Von Hagens and his idea of taking a dead body to the Pope.  These baby lambs died of natural causes soon after birth.  Sinking feeling I decided not to wash the blood out. It's the harsh, stark  reminder of the brutality.  I then turned the spot light on and...

A Chicken Walks into a Bar- Stand-Up Comedy Animation Script.

Image
This month I've been mostly getting into the mind of a Chicken. Seems easy as their brains are so small. I was thinking about a Stand-up Comedy show written by a Chicken, for Chickens.  I wanted to make their awful lives hilarious. " Environmental comedy"  That seems to be my new buzz word for things like this. It's pretty niche.  "COMEDY CHICKEN is completely plucked, on the grey side of pink and naked apart from a medallion saying 'Sexy' covering an injury to its neck. He has a deep South Kentucky accent and struts with jerks and juices like he owns the place. He's jolly but tainted by the life he's lived." The character is expanded from that taxidermy musical I wrote in my hey-day 'Sing For Your Life' Back in the day maaaate. Chicken Stand-Up Comedy -IDEAS - Ohhhhh my favourite game! I put a call out for funnies, jokes and one-liners to my online audience. I got some good response to lube the imaginary lines but my personal executi...
