Squarey Monster 117

Today's monster (actually yesterday's monster - man, am I a slacker or what?) is Gargor, a friendly little dude you definitely want in your life.

Gargor

This is a monster you definitely want to have around. His horns look dangerous, but they’re actually there to help you stay in place when you stand up in the bath or take a shower. Gargor is a Sliplessagriptic, a microscopic creature who works with millions of his best friends to stay under your feet when you walk on slippery surfaces. They only like to work with bare feet, though, so don’t expect them to be around when you slip on the ice.

Monster 110 (Tango-go)

Today's monster is another G.Mod. Orange you glad you didn't eat him?

Tango-go

This creature is an arrange-a-tang of the G.Mod genus. Typically an arrange-a-tang is a citrus creature who can shape-shift, or “arrange” itself into any shape to suit any meal. They’re goal in life is pretty much to be eaten; so as genetically modified fruit monsters they’ll hide in recipes, and wait for you. Tango-go in particular likes party food. Unfortunately for him, since very few people have good, nutritious food at parties he remains uneaten. Fortunately for you his G.Mod horns won’t get you.

Squarey Monster 78 (Anthony says, "Don't walk.")

Been planning this one for a while. Every time I cross the street I think of Anthony.

Squarey Monster 71 (my light box is infested!)

This Squarey Monster belongs to yesterday. I threw myself off because Blogger was messed up the day before, and blah blah blah. I'm full of excuses.

Whatever this is, it's crawling around on my light box…

This fiendish creature is made from a few things on my desk. I have a box that I save those little wires that are used to hold products in the packaging. You never know when you might need one to wrap up another wire.

I also have a tea tin that I use to store business cards.

The tips of this thing's legs, pincers and antennae are capped with pieces from a product my wife and I at Monkey Doodle Dandy worked on called Paperoni. More about what we did with it here.

The candy has been sitting on my desk for weeks. I've been waiting for an opportunity to use them as eyes ever since I found them in my travel bag (not remembering when or where I got them).

I'm eating the eyes right now. How's that for temporary art?

Squarey Monster 68 (watermelon monster)

Thanks to Nancy for her suggestion! Today's Squarey Monster is a watermelon monster!

Melon E.4

Have you ever seen the long term results of genetically modified foods? At some point in the process they become living beings! They’re dangerous creatures, and they are not to be meddled with. These crazy Squarey creatures (sometimes known as G.Mods) would like nothing more than to make you feel yucky. Melon E.4 is the worst of the watermelon G.Mods, but that doesn’t mean Melon A.1 through Melon E.3 won’t spit their seeds at you!

Squarey Monster 36

Update July 8, 2011.:

I started working on a different one yesterday, but I pulled a George Lucas. I'm waiting for the technology to catch up. Actually I'm trying to figure out how to make a precise cut into something specific without breaking it. I needed to use my hands yesterday. The one on layaway will show up at some point.

This one was made at home using junk from various drawers around my apartment. Paint swatches? Why do we still have those. The kitchen's been green for over a year. The plastic bug was left here when my nephew visited a few years ago. I keep forgetting to give it back to him. Welder goggles and lobster cracker eyebrows ;)

Here's another view…

Squarey Monster 35 (drool)

We're almost 1/10th through with this project. Scary! Ahem…Squarey! I already don't want it to end!

Here's today's Squarey Monster…

Drool

Whenever you get hungry or thirsty microscopic creatures congregate inside your mouth. They know if you’re hungry you’ll be eating soon. They’re collectively known as “drool.” They live in your saliva, and they eat your food when you put it in your mouth! It’s nothing to worry about. You’ll hardly miss the small amount they consume. But they can be annoying when you’re asleep. They love the comfort of a soft pillow, so if your mouth is anywhere near one when you sleep they like to sneak out for a rest.

Squarey Monster 27 (from the planet Vim 1)

Today's Squarey Monster will mesmerize you…in a positive way.

Mesmerio

This is a nano-banalien from the planet Vim 1. He can mesmerize you, and take you out of the spell of boredom. He can make you take interest in stuff you never would have thought was intriguing. He helps you realize that there’s so much out there in the universe that’s worth checking out. Next time you think you’re bored, and have nothing to do. Call out Mesmerio. He’ll suggest something, and you’ll like it.

Squarey Monster 9 (Immersia)

I'm travelling today, so today's Squarey Monster is going to help me keep an eye on the road, but I'm still going to have to stop for toll booths. Immersia is known to skip right through those.

Immersia

She’s fuzzy and focused at the same time. She’ll help you stay on track when you have a goal in mind. But be careful, she concentrates so hard on accomplishing the task at hand that she can forget to take care of the simple things like washing her many feet.
