Short and Large: The Giant Rotting Ear Burger
I cans torch shit
Where have I been besides working, working, working? Well, helping my kiddo execute her Giant Rotting Ear Burger Concept Sculpture for her art class at university. Yes, kiddo has now completed week three of university. It has been my second full time job getting her settled AND helping with the burger.
I'll keep this short. It's way past my bedtime, but I must say that the highlight of the project, and quite possibly of my life as a parent was blow torching with my daughter. Oh yea. We got matching Her and Her blow torch and torched the fuck out of some rotting lettuce. It was awesome.
Kiddo cans torch shit too
This weekend we did final sanding and details and painting. The people at Ace Hardware have come to expect reports on the Giant Ear Burger project. Yesterday they mixed five cans of paint for me. I was like, "I need the color green that looks the most rotten."

Click to viewToday, I went to Ace for more rubber cement. The clerk asked, "Did you put some of that rotting green paint in the ear." I said, "You betcha. It looks great!" She said the expected response: "Ewww." But then she smiled. It's not everyday someone comes to the store for Giant Rotting Ear supplies.
Soundtrack to Torching:
I did tell Bean about my sculpture class in college which was a big fucking mistake because sculpture classes are EXPENSIVE, and I was BROKE. Good lord, I was living off selling my plasma. I told Bean all about that. She likes to hear about how hard I worked and survived and shit. And I DID!
Bean holds ear for sense of scale
I told her about my giant 20 foot crucified woman that scared the living fuck out of the class. Kiddo got a kick out of that.
My working class roots bay off in projects like this. I MADE THIS MOTHER FUCKING GIANT ROTTING EAR BURGER WORK. Dammit.
Painting the pieces
Speaking of work, gotta go. Enjoy the photos, a video of Bean blow torching, and some noise I pulled out of my guitar real quick like called Torch. I consider my guitar playing "audio sketches."
Goodnight. Sweet dreams of Giant Rotting Ear Burgers!
The final Monstrosity.
This fucker actually holds!
Miscellaneous Burger Concept. Putting it together to actually hold was a different story . . .
