me, my foam, some scissors and a Elmer’s glue stick. Sometimes I just like jumping in with no plan and seeing where it goes. Eyebrows? Check. Cheesy grin? Check. Hands on hips, Check.
This Buzz says, “I’m like an Ogre… I have layers.” or “I seemed to have landed on a strange alien planet… a messy alien planet”.
We went out to Treasure Island beach so I figured it was time to experiment with any skills I may have as a sand castle crafter. I had three hours till sundown… so the moment we hit the beach I got to work. My tools? A square shovel, drywall mud knife, a couple of sticks and a plastic spoon. I also borrowed one of my kid’s straws because I’d seen a news report in the 80’s about sand castles and the artists were blowing away bits of sand with a straw. It turned out to be a huge help. An hour and a half later, this is what I came up with. Not bad for my first try… although sand is limiting… and so he has no neck.
I built him, shot him and then let the kids murder him.
This Buzz says, “I had a shorter life than a house fly!” or “Like sands through an hourglass…”
I’ve got 5 Buzz Lightyear projects in the works… but none of them were ready for today. So I grabbed a piece of white craft foam and a marker and to see if I could draw Buzz with one line… mistakes and all. Here is the product.
This Buzz says, “I’m a one-line kind of guy. I don’t know what that means either.”
Using an awesome free program called AndreaMosiac I took a stock photo of Buzz Lightyear and recreated it using almost all of the work that has been presented on this website. Yes, this is cheating.
This Buzz says, “We are The Buzz. Resistance is futile.”

I was eating a Weight Watcher’s ice cream bar and was left with this amazing little shape. A few moments and some permanent markers later, I had the Buzz you see before you. I considered eating another bar so I could make him some arms… but that would defeat the purpose of eating Weight Watcher’s… and he would look like he was hanging on a cross.
This Buzz says, “I still smell like strawberries!”
Who doesn’t like Hello Kitty? This one goes out to my sister Aimee who had her first baby about three weeks ago. She collects Hello Kitty the way I collect Buzz stuff.
This Buzz says, “I don’t have a mouth.”
Not to sound like a hipster… but I hated clowns before hating clowns was cool.
This Buzz says, “AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
I drew this Buzz tonight after a children’s church service. Pretty dull story… until…
I was talking to someone and had turned away for just a moment. After a few seconds I realized that my son was repeating the sentence, “Daddy! Ha ha!” over and over. I looked… and he had drawn a dark gray squiggle on my unfinished work.
“Daddy! Ha ha!” Little punk.
Dark and mysterious. This how I imagine Buzz Lightyear would look as a Jedi.
I didn’t color it because I couldn’t decide what color his lightsaber would be. The most obvious choice would be green… but then purple would work just as well. Red could also be appealing. What do you think? Leave your choice in the comments.
This Buzz says, “Stand back while I power up my Laser Swords.”
Clothespin Buzz started his life as a Doll Clothes Pin. After some paint and foam and a lot of Tacky Glue (and a few episodes of Community) he became what you see here. I love him.
This Buzz says, “Sid only took one of my arms! And you call yourself a fan?”
