Organic exo-suits with hidden pilots inside, and toothpick-based weaponry . . . and whatever was used for the clay just never hardened.<br /><br />The crew of "TwistTieGuys.jpg" look like they'd make for awesome Glyos customs of some kind; one can definitely tell how these guys influenced Glyos, almost a blueprint for what was to come. And it's great to see how early scarves started appearing in your work!R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00669141142132912290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-851241126807150374.post-36405089085135246922011-10-29T11:43:45.123-04:002011-10-29T11:43:45.123-04:00Twist ties weren't my thing, but I was a frigg...Twist ties weren't my thing, but I was a friggin' weaponsmith when it came to foil. I would construct shuriken, jets, humanoid figures, and the occasional ultra-dense foil cube that left dull metallic grey streaks all over the surface I ground it against. Ahh, good times...

These are great in person, but it's the ones he sculpted over that are really mind-blowing.

I did that a lot as a kid too, most of them got destroyed by my younger siblings but I managed to save 3.<br />My favorite one I still have it was made with a long spool of gardening twist-tie so it was one really long string of it that made up the green bug-eyed dude, I gave him a nose,jaw,and a tongue. I'll have to get a couple pictures now!Papagrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834753005266659609noreply@blogger.com
