This Buzz is being squished by the walls of the index card he was drawn on.
**Update**
I was very short on time yesterday and sketched out a Buzz with minimal effort. Though it technically counts as a daily Buzz… I was very dissatisfied with it. So I redid it. See below for the original sketch.
This Buzz says, “Shut down all the garbage compactors on the detention level!”
Regular visitors to this site will no doubt be familiar with my “Solo Flight” cups in a fence project that I’ve been planning. Part of that process was raising funds to purchase the cups. Thanks to your help that part is done! So thanks! Next, before I committed the project to completion I wanted to mock-up using perler beads. I’m glad I did, got to perfect a couple of things.
We’re still looking for the perfect fence. I’m eyeing a soccer field that can be seen from the highway and a local elementary school who already uses cups in their fence to get out short announcements to parents. We’ll see.
This Buzz says, “It looks like I only have on leg!”
Oh, and by the way, this is Buzz 100… so say congratulations to me or something. Only 265 more to go!
Today’s Buzz is in honor of my new HTC Evo from Sprint. I downloaded the Androidify app hoping that I could create a Buzz-like Droid… but to no avail. No worries though. An hour or so later I faked up one right proper in Photoshop.
This Buzz says, “May the Palm Pre burn for eternity.”
This is a little tribute to one of my favorite scenes in Toy Story 1… the tea party in Sid’s sister’s room. Buzz is missing an arm and sucking down Darjeeling with Marie Antoinette and her sister… and he’s not doing very well. Only a slap in the face with his own dismembered arm begins to bring him back to reality. Eventually the outfit he donned for the occasion is left behind and onward to adventure.
If you think about it… this is the first Buzz Lightyear tribute art that doesn’t actually feature Buzz Lightyear.
This Buzz says, “Tell me the hat looked good!”
I’ve been busy painting a pre-school room at church. I was painting clouds yesterday and figured I’d make my secretive mark. You’ll have to use a bit of imagination on this one. If you can’t see it, just remember how Buzz looks with his hands on his hips and one foot to the side. I love that 900% of the people who go through this room will never notice him.
This Buzz says, “I can see clearly now the rain is gone…”
I was launching Photoshop to work on another entry and my wife says, “Make a Question Mark Buzz.” The idea struck me as a challenge so here he is.
This Buzz says, “Don’t ask about doing a whole alphabet. He’s not interested.”
I carved this with an X-Acto knife and one of my kid’s crayons. I was inspired by the Crayon Totem Sculptures by Diem Chau. Hers are a lot better than mine… but it turned out better than I thought it would. If I ever did it again I’d like to have a good magnifying glass and some smaller tools.
This Buzz says, “I resemble a Jack-in-the-Box… and Beyond!”
This Buzz was crafted from 1.25 fl oz styrofoam coffee cups. They’re tiny little things. I had the idea because upside down one of them reminded me of Buzz’s leg cuff. After several hours of cutting and gluing… I’m not sure this was time well spent. I don’t know what I was hoping for… but I’m not sure this was it. I colored him using permanent markers.
This Buzz says, “Because I’m not biodegradable… I’ll be around for infinity… and beyond.”
I was making a grilled cheese sandwich and decided to go nuts with a slice of cheese and an X-acto knife.
This Buzz says, “I may be cheesy… but I’m hot!”
