Breakfast Club

I don’t think that’s coffee they’re drinking. Nine members and more joining everyday. Love the Motel Chairs from the 50s and 60s.

Brünnhilde

The first inspiration for Brünnhilde was the helmet that I found in an antique store. We were huge opera fans at that time and had recently seen Wagner’s Ring Cycle. And the idea just pounced into my head — and I do mean pounced — because that’s how these things just hit me. 

So I went home and thought “OK, I’ve got to build a Brünnhilde.” She has rings on her toes; she’s also a warrior. The TV antenna is her sword. (I’ve never found one of those since, so I was absolutely meant to have that.)

The red flashes on her chest are her boobs. This was before I was brave enough to use chichis and ding dongs like I do now. Like with Miss Henderson, for example. Now I don’t care if a ding dong has balls on it … I don’t stress over that. 

Brünnhilde has a cape as well. She is a Valkyrie, a protector, a lover, and a warrior.

Jack

Years ago, wandering through my beginning boneyard with friends, someone remarked to me, “That’s a jack!”

And I looked and saw that yes, what are now Jack’s front legs and feet were indeed jacks. So here is Jack. Not Jack Rabbit. Just Jack. 

He’s got an odometer (he covers lots of ground), a rear view mirror, and he lights up. You don’t even know you’re a rabbit, do ya, buddy? But you are.

Purple People Eater

What Can I Say? 50’s on 5. My working background music. Fun and loud, just like the studio.
