Wolpertingers
You may be noticing a recurring element on the Bean…Wolpertingers. I am simply fascinated. I was first aware of wolpertingers when I came across the idea of a Jackalope with wings. Technically the addition of another species’ characteristics to the elusive jackalope, transformed it into something different, something more: a wolpertinger. Wolpertingers are legendary creatures that show up in German folklore (wikipedia). They are typically the combination of characteristics from three or more unique animals. They are great doodling inspiration (as seen on the Bean):
Shopping = fashion design
Invariably, when I shop for clothes I always come up with ideas for clothes that I’d like to find, but cannot.
life size marionette
I’ve had this idea rattling about in my head for a long time. The basis for this life-size, life-weight dummy would be a burlap or canvas sack filled mostly with saw dust. The limbs and head would be solid wood. Inside the body would be a network of chains and armature that would make the marionette move only the way a slack human body would move.
For example, when you or I tilt our head to the side very quickly the shoulder that we are tilting away from starts to rise, lifting the arm a little. If the head of a doll is just affixed at one point, perhaps as a socket joint like many popular dolls today, then it would be incapable of moving the way a human can. Though the plan for this dummy has a solid piece of wood as the neck, it is joined in the sack of the body to chains that anchor it to the ‘rib’ armature in three places making sure that it’s movements are connected to the movements of the chest and arm area.
This is only a snippet of how much I’ve thought about the mechanics of this thing. And, as a full blown project, a life size project, I think it would creep me out too much to ever make it. Though, perhaps a small sized mock-up?
waiting in the tattoo shop
I drew wolpertingers; well except for that snaky cat head. I am dangerously close to naming the wolpertinger my spirit animal, because why not?

Richard on the sofa telling a story
He was on the sofa, and then I put him in a chair…the drawing anyway not the Richard. Obviously, Richard also doesn’t sport such gnarly claws.
