A #&%-ing Army

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!

021409 :: Valentines Day Monster

For Valentines Day, tlr and I made a stuffed-animal-monster backpack together.  It was made out of an empty metal coffee tin, with the intention of being a cookie monster since I was baking a shitload of cookies at the time.   We hot-glued and stitched him together out of a few severed stuffed animal limbs salvaged from an awesome Kawiettly Please show ::

We filled this guy up with Snickerdoodles and took it to a Darkmatter show, then handed out cookies to anyone who was curious enough to ask what it was :)  Liz Ohanesian even pictured us in her LA Weekly article about the event!
