Broccoli House

I wasn’t able to build my son a treehouse, so I built him this broccoli house instead.

Made with balsa wood.

Exhibitionist Coffee Cup

Random / goofy idea I had when I was supposed to be doing client work. This was quite easy to make. Cut the coffee sleeve in half and tape it to back of cup. Cut a section from the back of the cup to make the hands. Tape it all together and draw a creepy face. Place it on a table in your local coffee shop and see how people react.

Gummy Bearskin Rug

This was another idea that was just sitting around in my head waiting to get made. I often execute these kinds of pieces because I am curious as to what the piece will look like once executed.

Dark Side of the Doritos

Made from sliced bag pieces from the following 8 Doritos flavors: Late Night Cheeseburger, Pizza Supreme, Nacho Cheese, Throwback Taco, Toasted Corn, Salsa Verde, Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch and Spicy Sweet Chili.

Boba Fett’s Invoice to Jabba the Hut

I wanted to make this for a long time. I finally found the time to execute. Thanks to my friend Dan Wallace, author of The Jedi Path, for helping me with some of the minute details.

Snoutlet

Recently, I was interviewed by tpt.org in regards to my Make Something Cool Every Day project. I was asked to try and make something creative on the spot, in the room where I was being interviewed. After evaluating the room, I was struck with an idea. I got out my marker and voila, Snoutlet.

ART BY BROCK DAVIS

These are some of the recent personal pieces I’ve made for fun. Most of these pieces are made at home on the weekends. I get a lot of inspiration from my children. They create spontaneously, everything is new to them. I often try to revert back to childhood when creating, which helps me to view ordinary things in a new way.

Come Play My Game I’ll Test Ya By Butcher Billy

Posted on January 13, 2014 by theoelsby

Is it a game? A movie? A band?

Don’t know anymore. In Butcher Billy’s sick, twisted world, they are all one.

In today’s recipe Chef Butcher starts with a thick cut of a classic game title and then keeps adding delicious, melting, luscious, rich selects of crunchy pop culture including the usual finest iconic celebrities, vintage movies, subversive rockstarts, japanese animes, entertainment industry brands and improbable visual concepts to spice things up. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
