Todd
TODD
Let me introduce you to Todd, one of my newer creations. His head is one end of an old Electrolux canister vacuum. When I first saw it I knew there was a creature hiding inside, so after a few weeks in the studio, out he came!. When I showed it to my son, Zander (3 and a half), I asked him what I should name him. Without hesitation he blurted out “Todd”. I’m sure he had never heard the word before, so it came as quite a start when I heard him say it. And it seemed so perfect too.
The canvas he’s poking through had been sitting in the studio too for a while, as I had promised myself I would one day put it to use. My first thought was to have a try at painting, as I had never attempted that before and seemed like it would be fun. But when I saw Todd’s face I knew I had to see him breaking through that canvas like an alien burning his way into the atmosphere on his entry into our world (I’ve tried doing things “within the box”, I really have. I just can’t seem to do it).
He looks especially cool when the lights go down, as his nose and mouth are illuminated red (there’s a switch underneath). I think you’ll agree he has quite the personality.
As much as I love him, I need to make room for new pieces so if you must have him, please let me know.
