run red run needle felted collectables

Maybe you remember my felted interpretation of Bloo, from Cartoon Network’s long running show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. I made him as a fun side project, and he sold. Well, I took a commission for a second version of Bloo! He’s very similar to his older brother with the added accessory of a stylish fez. I gave him a final touch-up today then shipped him off on the first leg of his voyage to his new home — in Australia! That’s right, I’ve gone global! That’s the power of the internet for you.

So, yeah, I take commissions. Need a gift that’s totally original? Want a felted sculpture of your favorite cartoon character? Have a unique idea that you’d like to see brought to life? Well, contact me and we’ll see what we can do about that!

 Here he is, my woolen version of the gamma irradiated beast known to most as the Incredible Hulk. I really like the Edward Norton film that came out a few years ago and with the Hulk’s role in the upcoming Avengers movie it seemed like a great time to team up with illustrator Vince Dorse to explore the character.  You can see the designs my needle felted Hulk was based on in his post at his blog.

He’s sculpted around an armature and, to add an extra punch, I constructed his arms in a way that allows them to smash the ground with unstoppable force! Ok, maybe not unstoppable, but it’s fun to pretend this guy is pummeling the heck out of the bad guys… or just giving Thor a workout.
