At uni, my first project was to create a 10x scaled replica of a small object. I chose to do a chicken foot. I’m still not sure if I am crazy or not for choosing something organic. You know how ridiculous it is to try and measure everything out, then sculpt it up exactly 10x? It’s nuts. Anyway, this bad boy is the result of 3 months of hard work, 15 combined kilograms of welded steel, chicken wire, mod roc, and wax, and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears. And burns.
This was a blast to make. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
Anyway, thought I’d take it down to the city farm and give it a go with some real chickens.
god today i ID’d an old dude buyin booze and he pulled out a fake ID with an elvis pic, then laughed and pulled out a matching one but with curly from three stooges on it, and im like okay please and he finally pulled out his real license and his legal name was steve sinner
Okay so the absolute uncanniness of this video instilled such a terror in me no piece of horror media has ever done before to the point where by the end of it I genuinely thought I might throw up, and the lack of context really made it extra terrifying because in my shock I really couldn’t tell if the footage was real or not (the candid amateur-esque shooting is impeccable)
So I went ahead and dug up some information and this is actually a complication of clips from of a short (like 6 minute) film called The Centrifuge Brain Project that’s actually quite a humourous piece of surreal horror(??? I’m not sure what to call it really) in the form of a mockumentary. I highly recommend it.
As a personal side note I never considered “scientist-engineer with a questionable level of sanity designing horrifyingly dangerous pushing-the-boundaries-of-physics amusement park rides” was gonna end up on my list of Dateable Types but here we are
Gorilla had a very unfortunate accident. His arm and head were torn off and he lost and eye, nose, and part of his face!
Here are the diagnosis photos I received from his person:
Fortunately, he looked quite treatable. We started with a spa, because he was already going to need new stuffing:
Then he got his heart and was restuffed:
I thought he was back together and sent these photos:
His person wrote “
Wow he looks amazing!” …. but he used to have ears, can you add some? Apparently, the gorilla had lost he ears entirely! So I made a small sample ear and put it temporarily in place:
“Perfect!” said his person. So I affixed it firmly and did the other one as well. Here he is ready to fly home:
Sturdy with 100% scent, 20/20 vision, and perfect hearing again!
