Building off a character I have in RIT's weekly Reporter comics,
I made a kinetic puppet in an animation class I took with Tom Gasek.

Lizard King: fully functional socket joints, snappable yapper, right hand rotates and waves hello.
eye spy: double ratchet, socket ratchet, angle clippings, needle nose pliers, candlestick holder, sledgehammer pick, nut cracker picks, lug nut wrench, wires

Robot Bitty with a gangster-lean?
she comes equipped with flailable arms; movement of her left arm twists a left titty, when its not hooked on her waist.
eye spy a grinder wheel guard, a scythe blade, bicycle kickstand, a pully, doorknob, small mechanical grinder, a small hook, and scrap debris

This guy comes fully equipped with a thrustable torso and interchangable heads. He seems like some sort of ass-kicker to me. My first welded sculpture.

Shop Guard Dogs

my stepdad and I made guard dogs for the front of the shop. It was originally inspired from some plate lifting clamps we found in a scrap bin, which made the heads for both. Craig recycled pallets to construct his, I used assorted metal scrap:
childhood bike rims, table legs, cast bathtub feet, ancient tin funnel, misc shop debris...

mines got the pissed off dog mohawk goin on: lift his tail to make him growl
