Outtestines

'Mommy?'
'Yes dear?'  Mommy asked not looking up from her morning sudoku puzzle.
'There's a velociraptor in my room.'
'Oh Molly, you have such an imagination.'
'It's not imagination mommy, he scratched me.  Look.'
'Molly what have I told you about telling st-OH MY GOD!'

Ok, so first off you have Lori O'Neil to thank for getting this mutation done today. Instead of allowing me to feel all crappy about my illness this morning she reminded me that art waits for no man...or as she put it 'Suck it up champ. Art to be created, kitsch to be mutated.' So I loaded up on cold meds and trudged on through and this is the result.

This is the second time I bought this piece.  The first time was when I first started, but my daughter wanted to make one while I was creating 'Jenny' so I let her have this one.  She turned it into a really cool anime type character.  She's since lost the piece, I've been bugging her to find it all do so that I could post it...will update when it's found.

That piece was in far better condition than this one.  I think someone had this in their window for a long time as the paint was all faded.

I did however, find out that the title of this original piece is called 'Sunsweet' but could not find a manufacturer.  I only found one selling on ebay for about $2.50.  Oh and yes, it's another bell...what is it with turning these things into bells?  How many bells does one need?

I would also like to draw your attention to her feet.  I laughed when I first noticed them.  They are terribly dispropotionate.  If this was to scale I'm pretty sure this young lady would have men's size 13 feet.

So I couldn't come up with a title for this one as my mind is somewhat clouded with cold meds.  I'm putting out an open challenge for suggestions as to what to call my new mutation.  You may do so here in the comments section, or here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/PreciousMutations on the precious mutations fb page.  I'm afraid there is no prize for the winner just yet, but I'm looking into having stickers made up.  From there I would like to start printing shirts and the like as well...but all in due time.

Thanks to all who visit, participate and support.  A bigger thanks to my family who allow me the time to mutate, especially to my wife for not running for the hills with my children when she see's what I've done.

Enjoy, >K

So after the submissions my two faves were 'Self-Indulgent' and Outtestines'.  I couldn't decide so I flipped a coin and 'Outtestines' it is!  Congrats Phil! (Sorry Alexis).

PS > this is my daughters 'manga' version of what she did to what was to be the original Outtestines:
