Buzz 042 – Google Spreadsheet Buzz

3 Replies

I created this on my lunch break at work. I limited myself to the default color pallet, the default cell dimensions, and kept it all up above the scroll. My wife really loves this one being an Accountant… though she was a little appalled until I told her it wasn’t created in Excel.

Since this is a Google Document, I’ve set the permissions to “share” so you can see it in person!

Buzz 039 – Minecraft Buzz

3 Replies

Today I’ve reused the pattern I made for Perler Bead Buzz but this time I’ve created him in the game, Minecraft. Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine.

Buzz is 47 blocks tall. That’s about 155 virtual feet tall. This joker is huge.

Buzz 036 – Construction Paper Buzz

5 Replies

This Buzz was created with marbleized construction paper… kind of on accident. I meant to buy the regular kind… but somehow came home with this pearly stuff. Color selection was limited so I cheated a bit. The black parts are red paper with black marker… and the eyes and smile (white) are card stock.

The entire buzz was created with nothing but the paper, rubber cement and a pair of scissors. No drawing, sketching, planning of any kind. I watched Swamp Thing while I put him together (extra trivia).

This Buzz says, “I feel tie-died and groovy, man.”

Buzz 034 – Skittles Buzz

4 Replies

We’re potty training our 2 year old son. He gets a Skittle every time he pees in the potty so we’ve got this huge bag of Skittles laying around. It occurred to me that there were probably enough different colors in there to fashion some kind of Buzz image. I was right. If you’re having troubles making him out (he’s kind of low-rez) maybe the picture below will help.

This Buzz says, “Buzz Lightyear: Taste the mayo.”

Buzz 033 – Steampunk Buzz

This piece was a blast to do. This is Buzz as only a Steampunker would imagine him to be. Note the airtight barrel, wrist-mounted ray gun, dual-exhaust steam-powered propulsion system, classic collapsible wings and four wheels for high-speed landings.

This Buzz says, “I am Sir Buford Lightfoot, a ranger of the spaces beyond or own. I plan to keep the universe safe from any threats of invasion.”
