Here it is! The newly repainted AND SEALED Electric Mayhem Mobile!

I didn't put a sealant or clear coat over it last year and it didn't survive the winter well. It still looks... well, like some stoned out hippies did it, but it's supposed to. So that's my excuse for both how it looks from afar (supposed to look like that) and close up (not supposed to so much).

I still have time replace the Janice decal and I think I'm going to have to replace the big lips as I really got overspray on these. But the lips are expensive. I also have some little things I want to do inside and maybe revisit the horn again. We'll see.

Wonderful show!! SO good! Smiles and laughs. Well, until he dies. I teared up during the funeral, but when Big Bird/Carroll Spiney sang "it's not easy being green? 😭😭😭

New cosplay+puppet project. Fozzie Bear and Chucky from the episode with Edgar Bergen. Though I'm going to make Chucky a hybrid puppet/vent. I think it will be easier to use while walking around and less problematic keeping it working. Plus, it'll give me a chance to test out the 3d printed puppet head kit I designed.

Here’s another one not quite done (needs more hair punched but I glued the fleece to the foam and the glue is super hard to punch through - lesson learned), but may be as done as he gets because again, this one is for me. In fact, it kinda IS me. At least in the wanna be stunt man aspect. Lol
