Giant raindbow BMO Adventure Time cake

January 14, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

BMO (Beemo) is a living gaming console who appears in the title scene of Adventure Time. I’ve not seen the show but this BMO is not only huge, is cake and also rainbow. That’s some baking, right there, all stacked nicely. Huge. Bigbig. (Via Adventure Time sub-reddit. There’s such a thing.)

January 13, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This bone pistol duelling set and the guns below are the creation of Bruce Mahalski. His work has been included in exhibitions since 1997 and, safe to say, has its own look.

Star Trek: TNG makeup test reel

January 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments
