Finished up some Ming and Ping dolls (babies) for the spicy band Ming & Ping, who just released a new album and are touring the west coast! The dolls have rubber bodies keep them in place and upright, vinyl hair for extreme shine, cute heat-pressed faces, and removable vegi-leather jackets with tails in the back!
Raaawr, an army of Mings and Pings
Aww, they're so cute and happy! And you can undress them ;)
brain bags! ...or unstuffed doll heads

Jaymie is totally awesome and she models for me all the time. Her birthday was last month so I made her a necklace out of a key that I had left over from the job for Monkey Bucket. The key glows in the dark!
A key, feathers, felt, ancient lace, ribbon, and some dumpster fabric
Oh there was some lace fabric too that I gathered and shredded w/ scissors so it blends in w/ the feathers
I painted the key with electric blue nail polish, then in glow in the dark nail polish, then added a bit more glitter to it while it dried

Barry, aka Monkey Bucket, has an awesome record label called Bucketron, and he puts on cool shows at the Cocaine (2nd St. Jazz) in downtown Los Angeles. He always wears a fez covered in knick-knacks, but wanted to separate himself from the shiners which he doesn’t want to be associated with so he asked me to customize a few for him! First I took off all the Shriner crap, then I covered them in recycled fabric, then added supplied pieces of ‘flare’, buttons, more recycled fabrics, and some fabric paint. Here are a couple great shots by Marianne Williams:

Romak and the Space Pirates played at Wigout in May, so I made tlr a costume for the Sci-Fi theme. It was made out of scraps from other projects (some from dumpsters), a long zipper, and parts from my VCR which was dismantled earlier this year. Then I splattered paint on it, and tlr drew with silver fabric paint. We also made his wig together out of my old dreadlocks (yes, I saved them) and some dumpster fabric, and more parts from the VCR. Chinashop mag wrote about the show, which took place at the stunning Bordello Bar.
fuck yeah
