OK, out of the shadows, I sneak out again to post a few lil' guys for your opinions and scutiny. I apologize once again for being a lurker here, but when you're working 19 1/2 hour days it's hard to balance "Life", which by the way is the show I'm currently working on, Wednesdays on NBC, please watch! I have 3 lil' guy offerings today, all to be gifts for fellow co-workers on the show, one was a request by a co-worker to parody another fellow Teamster. I didn't do any progress shots of anything, my camera fell out of my backpack and did a header down some concrete steps so I'm using the wifes camera.

Here are the first 2 which I'm giving to the Captain & Co-captain of the show for being so very cool and allowing me to work on the show.



These were carved during down time on the show, mounted on some slabs of various rock I cut on my tile saw and polished, then drilled to screw the tiki to the rock base with felt buttons below. Hardly a fitting gift for the amount of work they have given me but it will at least let them know I apprieciate it. Of course they will have to pose with the gift making the face on it in order to receive the lil' guy, that will be tomorrow.

But the third one was a request as I stated before, to parody our Production truck operator, Donny. It was to look like him with tiki-like features, and to have, Ahem, certain required appendages, intended to embarass him. I found a small stick that that had a smaller branch pointing outwards that looked so natural I couldn't see looking any futher. I was hoping to finish it up quickly, but as I was carving into it I found it had been under attack by termites! No problem, just use a little wood filler here and there, good to go! But as it went on, I wasn't happy with how it was turning out, and how to cover up the wood filler properly. I found I had to use more paint than I wanted to, but it was needed to cover up the filler, so I used flesh color for skin areas, gave it panties, a garter belt, and stockings! The Pictures are crappy, but there is also a small tattoo on the ass "T-Hunter" because he likes to hassle the tranny's on Santa Monica Blvd when they have been on location there. So, here it is, lil' Donny with his acceptance pic from the other day.

That's it for now, I've got to be at Universal @ 4:00 am so I'm out! Hope ah kin' make it to th' trailah chop, sho have missed yall! Bye!!
