Mutants in Nature

Took Jenny, Genie, One Man Wolfgang and What To Expect When You're Resurrecting with me on a hike today to see if I can get some better display pics.  What do you think?

Genie

Damn.  I know her.  They don't prepare you for this in all the zombie guides and movies.  They talk about when your family gets sick, or your spouse.  Sure it sucks having to put a bullet in your best friends head but then you feel like you've set them free, free from this world of pain and suffering.  What's really wearing me down is the constant stream of everyday people I took for granted reminding me one kill at a time that my life is never going to go back to the routine I had grown so accustomed to.  The guy who pumps your gas, the librarian, the guy who walked his weiner dog past my house every day.
Take her for example.  She worked at the bakery around the corner with her husband for years.  When I was a kid she would yell at me for taking too many free samples and yet there was always an extra cookie or sweet in the bag when me and mom got back home.
They were European I think, I can still hear her husbands accent.  He called her 'Genie', must've been short for Eugina or something.  My friend used to say that if he ever rubbed a bottle and she came out, his first wish would be for her to get back into the bottle...he was an ass.
Someone's taken a few shots at her, terrible aim though.  Hope they got away.  I won't miss.  I've been through this enough times to know it's me or her.  Rest in peace Genie.

This piece has driven me to the brink.  I restarted the paint colours 3 times because I couldn't quite get it to match the way I wanted it to.  This is why it's been what...six weeks since my last mutation?  Alas she is done.  However, when I went to spray her with the varnish it reacted terribly with the paint.  We were not amused...as I wandered the house wondering which wall would be best to smash my head against (not in a yelling angry guy sort of way just mad in my head) my daughter came up and gave me this:

Thanks universe.  Went back and saw that the effect of the varnish actually enhanced the piece.  Now I don't mind it as much.

Hope you guys dig it too.

Peace.

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:

Boppo The Clown!

Why Wreck Your Teeth?

When an ice cream scoop will do?  Boppo the Clown is finished!

Boppo was a bit of a challenge.  He's only about 2/3 the size of Jenny, hence why the head he's holding is a wee bit disproportioned.  I just like the think of Boppo as a circus..uh...little person.

If you've come to visit and are not currently a friend on facebook I'd be more than happy to have you invite me!

I've also begun posting my pictures on Flickr, carbonmade, pinterest and soon to be deviantart.

Thanks again for all your support.  More to come as soon as my major school project is done...sigh.
