*Beware* Hold onto you're stomachs!* It's 'The Stuff' coming UP!

[maskatron]

WARNING! If you see The Stuff in stores... call the police. If you have it in your home... don't touch it...get out. The Stuff is a product of nature... a deadly living organism. It is addictive and destructive. It can overcome your mind and take over your body... and nothing can stop it.

Well, here's a stretch, and I do mean 'Quite a stretch'. Just after I recently completed my 'Davis' SlimJim Dracula piece, I thought Hey!!.. Why not give another obscure character the old go go..Well,

Meet Chocolatechip Charlie' from the 80's B' Movie Shlock Fest... 'The Stuff'....See the above Tag lines...They forgot to mention that this stuff will kill you! Real BAD!

In it, Black character actor 'Garret Morris' plays the character here as cookie king 'Chocolatechip Charlie.

For those that don't know him,...Mr. Morris is one of the original cast members of Sat. Night Live in the 70's. And has been seen in many T.V. shows and other movies..Different Strokes, The Jeffersons, etc. and IMO, I just like whatever his been in..

The image of him from this flick has alway's stuck with me. And I wanted this to be a display mask/bust.
He's painted with dark chocolate paint too.haha!

So, "Are you eating It ? Or is It eating YOU!!?" Have a spoonfull will you!?!....

[KidL]

So wrong... yet so cool! I haven't seen the flic myself but that 'Stuff' just looks gnarly! :sick

 

[Howlrunner]

LOL That looks wicked. Great work. Bet there's not many people have one of THOSE in their collection! :lol

And the "Stuff" pots in the background look nice too! How did you do those? Did you use the graphic I did in the other thread? How'd you attach it to the pot? And where did you get pots like that? I've been looking all round the place and haven't come across any....

howlrunner- Yea, I owe that to you for the neat graffic on the lid lable that you posted here awhile back. Thanks!
That portion really made it pop. As for the lables front, I took one close up
screen grab of a pot, and did some pretty getto style - stretch/skew on a paint program.
Tighting up some of the letters that where to blurred and just a touch more added
color for more sharpness .
I printed them out on reg. paper, glued them on Ben&Jerry ice-cream containers
that were cleaned, primed with gesso with just a little white glue mixed in, for some flex.
I think it looks pretty good on the front 'not great' but O.K . It was my first attempt at actually
using a paint program I must say. lol. But having as a background prop, it worked fine!..
Sorry for the crappy pic's. They really don't do this display set-up any justice. The colors are washed abit and dark/muttled. The film I had used was old and also expired..

Thanks for the comments on all this Stuff gang!!!

BEST: Eric
