Description
I've been wanting to post some of my 3-D works for a long time, but finally got around to it with this thing. This guy is some sort of junkyard minstrel who plays for scraps of food on the grimy sidewalks.

Beneath the skin is a wire armature that allows for full poseability. The instrument can be removed (strings have since been tightened), and the rusty chain around his neck can be used as a hanger so you can dangle him from a lampshade or rear-view mirror. He also has some little bells attached to him so he'll jingle when he moves! Isn't that CUTE??

I often make these as gifts for friends (I am both crazy AND cheap!), and this one was made for that exact purpose. I do like to document my works, however, so I threw together this collage of the little beast to share with all of you.

Some people have urged me to sell these online, but I've refrained from doing so for a variety of reasons. Perhaps I'll make an effort to build a few higher quality creatures and see if they attract interest, but I refuse to charge the kind of prices people are demanding (and, even more strangely, receiving!) for their assembly line sock-monkeys, as I would be ashamed to cheat some poor sap out of 50 bucks for such a ridiculously easy-to-make thing.

I mean, come on people! They're made out of wire, glue, and GARBAGE! Make it yourself, for crying out loud...
