pippen, the sockpuppet
08.04.08 | happenings
so, r. j. and i
were at barnes & noble the other day, and i
found this awesome kit of stupid sock creatures
that you could make on your own. i am really into
those ugly dolls, and when i saw this kit, i
figured that i could just make my own ugly
dolls. r. j. was pretty resistant to the
purchase of this kit, but i wasn't going to
leave the store without it. so we can all
guess how that ended because of the four
photos posted below :)
it all started with a simple pair of socks. ugly socks at that.
there were of course a few more steps in between the first photo and this one, which included cutting up one of r. j.'s old neckties -- with his permission of course. here is our ugly friend with his new set of eyes, but yet to be stuffed.
here is our ugly friend **freestanding** on our kitchen table!!! a great success!
our little friend requested a photojournalistic portrait of himself -- he asked me to touch up some of his imperfections, but i told him that we photojournalists avoid retouching whenever possible. age is beauty, i told him.
