Phew. Almost forgot to get back on the posting bus.
So, today brings us one of the most unique Order Ups I ever had: “Four animals assembling IKEA furniture”.
…
What?
This request was recently filled because I found it’s beginnings in a box. Back in 2010, I was student teaching and had little time to draw. It was very difficult to learn how to live without drawing. So I reached out to different Order Uppers and asked for animals to draw. Animals have always been my favorite, and it was a game I played all through High School, “What Should I Draw?”. Yeah, I’m not an attentive student.
So my virtual game yielded a lot of results, and I penciled pretty happily. As I got close to Christmas, I thought I’d sculpt some since my teaching time was coming to a close. Candidates for sculpting were people that I really enjoyed. Top of that list were the gentlemen from LHT. Turns out with graduating and moving out of my apartment, I didn’t get to finish these sculptures. When I found them a couple of weeks ago, I went ahead and painted the lot.
And so yielded an Animal Ikea playset.
They’re…well, they’re not doing too well. And that sloth is not helping in the least.
In my life, this is definitely the most unique sculpture I’ve ever done. So that’s a rare honor.
PS I typically add hyperlinks, and would indicate who I’m talking about more explicitly, but this gentlemen hasn’t received this package yet, and it’s a surprise! I’ll update with appropriate links and such when I know he’s got it.
Thanks for stopping!
