Geekin out

So one thing I'm good at is not making blog posts. It's not that I'm not doing anything anymore, it's just that I'm working and when I'm not working I'm fighting lethargy. When I'm not fighting lethargy, however I am doing stuff. Lately I haven't really been working on stuff directly art related. In one of my previous posts I posted up a Power Ranger's morpher which I got off of Ebay. I have to say finding that wasn't easy and finding one under $100 isn't easy either but I managed to do both. I can't really speak on the purpose of the power morpher just yet, but there was a reason behind getting one besides it looking cool.



When I first got it, it had the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toy stickers on them. I did research on the morpher before getting it and let me tell you there are tons of videos on youtube that will tell you those stickers are wrong. They will also guide you to a site where u pay something like $8 and you can get "Show accurate" stickers sent to you. There are two reason I didn't do this: The first of which being that getting the morpher itself wasn't cheap and I wasn't trying to fork over that money, secondly and most importantly I'M A FRIGGEN ARTIST!!!!



One thing about me is that I am a habitual label peeler. Sometimes I don't even peep what I'm doing when I peel off labels, I just do it. I watched quite a few videos recommending using Goo Gone on the morpher to get the stickers off. I found it relatively easy to peel the stickers off with minimal residue and got a wet rag and loosened whatever I couldn't get from my tactical sticker peeling. Then I got to work. Before starting this project i remember purchasing gold paint (from people who didn't notice as a kid like I didn't Tommy's morpher was gold while every one else had silver ones) but after searching, I came up fruitless. I went to an art supply store and got some gold paint. Geez I think I could write a blog about how long I stood there trying to get the right shade of gold. But after an unexplectedly long trip to the store, I got home and went to work. After 3 layers of gold paint, 2 of red and black. I got some decent results.



Ultimately I'm happy with it and don't really care what those fanboys who go for show accuracy and display would think. I'm a PR fan, don't get me wrong but I'm not completely enthralled with my life emulating PR or collecting everything PR. Anywho, that's one of the projects I worked on recently. Currently I'm doing some stuff with hard drives, I'm probably gonna write about that at some point. Until next time guys may the power protect you.
