TRASHTOY- junkomake

Junk'o'make Munted Mashers header
Don't let your baby brother fuck up ALL your good toys. Throw him this rats arse and watch him beam with glee as his smashes it down the drain hole or feeds it to his pet ferret...and feel smug knowing youv'e done your bit!

Ive been cutting up cheap toys and rearranging them for a bit now...real bubblegummy fun. When I cant be bothered doing anything, I go out to the shed and cut up a bunch of cheap toys and stick 'em back together. Living in Western Australia isn't exactly a mecca for toys bar cheap maccas crappola. At our swapmeets even the crappiest of things, people want good money for...dumb but I suppose it is because of where we are. Perth is said to be the most isolated city in the world. This has all sorts of ramdickations and one of the more serious ones is the crap swapmeets/flea markets!!;)

So you could say I have out of necessity bought a lot of REALLY crappy toys, not COOL crappy. CRAP CRAPPY and for light relief, chopped em up.
Ive learned to enjoy, even appreciate the humble charm of this wackest of wack arts.. Really the crapper the better, chop the head of one thing and stick it on the body of another. Incongruity the name of the game. I don't like to gt all fancy gluing lots of pieces together to make a multi piece monstrosity, that would be work. The simplicity is the charm, I do this to let of steam when I cant be eff'd working. I've sent a couple of my fav's out with the last Monkster's order. So next time order a Monkster and recieve your FREE Munted Masher!!
My oh so colourful header for the nebulords collecionne' oh yes its a collecionne' bitches.. suber fuck & limited...end bombaste with a cold drink of milk..

..So I got a wacom tablet about 3 months ago, tried it and thought..what the fuck how'my meant to draw something down here while I'm looking up here!? and promptly found something better/easier to do. Then came the need to make a header for this release so after drawing the image I couldnt be f***ed gitt'n the messy paints out in my shitstorm of an office/tudio thing. So wallah...there was this dusty shit covered new wacom tablet flashing its slate at me....

by the way when I told my friend what I was using, he said "oh what, like a magna doodle?!.... yep! cant argue with that i said:)

Anyway, so I got it out and started to colour with it. WOW it was pretty cool fun. So yep this is my 1st rough and rushed attempt at painting with a usb powered magna doodle.(aka etcha sketch),in all it's dodginess.
