WHAT’S HOMEBOY DOIN?

On days like this where I accomplish nothing we will be playing a little game called “What’s Homeboy Doin?” Here are two photos of Homey from today proving that Afghan Hounds require a pillow and will make do with a cat if need be… stay tuned for more exciting installments of Homey’s escapades.

Work in Progress

Looks like we are back to making freak show performers.. this is the creepiest doll I’ve ever let in my house. Worse than that I took it apart which will likely result in some voodoo curse being put on me:) It really can’t go to it’s new home soon enough. It’s nice to feel that way instead of my usual wanting to keep new pieces. Head and neck can be removed to hang on a wall and easily reattached..

SEXY CENTAUR BOY vintage wooden toys sculpture 1000 PIECES no 133

SEXY CENTAUR BOY vintage wooden toys sculpture 1000 PIECES no 133, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Sexy Centaur Boy is my version of the mythical creature with the head, arms and chest of a man but the legs and lower half of a horse. He was created with vintage toy bowling pins, old doll arms, bishop chess piece tail, vintage blocks and a very cool handmade folk toy rattle with a wood ball inside. The rattle is made with half light wood and half dark and spins in the block base so he can pose and look around. Centaur Boy measures 17 1/2" tall by 5 1/4" wide. He's signed, named, dated and my new boyfriend:)

GLOBAL POULTRY vintage globe and tool sculpture 1000 PIECES no. 143

GLOBAL POULTRY vintage globe and tool sculpture 1000 PIECES no. 143, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Global Poultry is a big headed chicken who wants to come live at your house :)

He was created with an old world globe I never thought I'd part with, it actually was part of an assemblage table I made years ago...it's old, banged up and really discolored as seen in the pics. He has a vintage car turn signal beak, toy wooden bowling pin legs, old wood doorknob and a vintage hammer. I'm assembling my tools, it's officially a sickness...

Global Poultry is made to hang from two nails under his hammer head or could be leaned up against a wall. He measures 17 1/2" tall by 6" wide and sticks out from the wall about 7 1/2"
He's named, signed, dated, number 143 in the series and a barrel of barnyard fun. Thanks!
