Custom Articulated Plant/Baby Groot 1:1 scale figure - Alex Pascual

Here is my Custom Articulated Plant/Baby Groot 1:1 figure.  The majority of it was constructed out of Super Sculpey; the joints and articulation were harvested from 2007 TMNT movie action figures.  Steel and aluminum wire were used to reinforce the "hair" and "fingers".  

Groot's head is on a ball joint.  His arms hinge and rotate at the shoulders, elbows and right wrist.  There are rotation joints on both forearms and body is articulated in three sections with rotation and hinge joints.   Enjoy the rest of the pics below!! :)

Gottfried Mind - Autistic Savant - Der katzen Raphael

Born November 17, 1768, in Bern, Switzerland, Gottfried Mind was a autistic-savant who specialized in drawing cats; befittingly named "Der Katzen Raphael" (The Raphael of Cats).

Gottfried Mind was sent to an art academy at the early age of 8 years old.  Where he came under tutelage of the artist Sigmund Heisenberg.   The story goes that while Heisenberg was drawing a cat Mind blurted out, "That is no cat!!".  Undoubtedly annoyed, Heisenburg sent Mind to the corner and incite he do better; the rest, as they say, is history.
