This is one of the latest projects, the Saddam hanging.
It will work by having the 'trap-door- operated by pulling a rod that holds it in place.
I was gonna use a hinge and small latch, but opted for this simple version, its a bit tackier, but i think it will pretty much do the same thing. Iv had the doll balance on it so i know it won't fall off. The noose will be at the top, i did have it underneath the frame, but it was too close to the actual doll and when iv covered that up it will be slightly bigger in size. The figures on the either side will be painted on the canvas giving the it the look of the whole scene.
Plans were drawn up for a second Carla Nash piece that would involve her lying on the ground with the chimp on top bashing and/or eating her face, this would have represented the scene as the police turned up. It's struck a slight problem in the the way it would move.
The cams i make only go up and down, and would have wanted the arms/head to go back on a angle so for the mean time its staying in the 'diary'.
Funny little story.
I was in town the other weekend and we went into a '80s themed bar, i looked out of place as i usually do with my chunky nose ring and glazed over eyes. While standing at the bar thinking how silly the whole place was with the bouncers casually looking at me, a woman came up to me and said-
"Excuse me, thats a big ring thru ur nose, did that hurt? that must have been stretched up?"
"Ahhh...yeah" i muttered with a big grin.
"...but iv got something that will absolutley stun you, and you'll want to tell everyone you know."
"Yeah..." she said intrigued. "Im here on a work do"
"Mate, doesn't matter" I smiled.
"Iv had both my nipples cut off and re-stitched onto my chest" Her jaw dropped.
I wasn't gonna lift my shirt in the middle of a crowed bar so i pulled it down far enuff that she could see and knew.
Its funny when people hear and see this for the first time, and it never gets old.
She was STUNNED.
Then two of her works mates came up to the bar,
"YOUR NOT GONNA BELIEVE ME!!! YOU"V GOT TO SEE THIS!!!!!!!"
"This guys got no nipples."
I pulled down my shirt and showed them but it didn't really sink in so they were just stunned and kinda lost.
The woman was in awe of me, gave me a 'high five' thanked me very much and then i left the bar and them to mull over what had just happened.
The 'chechclear' video continues to tick over 6,788 views so far.
The Christine Chubbuck one is proving popular to, im assuming this is due to everyone thinking "oh ill look it up on youtube and see if i can find the original video" That wont happen due to it being never released and no copys made. These and other videos can be viewed in the list on the right.
