208. Can Opener

208. Can Opener

Playing around with the can and bottle opening end of an old fashioned opener.
Not quite convinced...

207. Buffalo Horns

207. Buffalo Horns

Full disclosure - I did not make or photograph these. But in terms of their moustache-like status, they speak for themselves.

202. Muselet

202. Muselet

I did not know this word until just now. You learn something new every day.
This is the cage from a bottle of champagne...

201. Bowling pins

201. Bowling pins

There's a chance I may get to go bowling this week. I really enjoy bowling. Here's a tentative celebration:

199. Sudstache

199. Sudstache

Washing dishes...

198. Mood moustache # 5

198. Mood moustache # 5

When in doubt, draw a cartoon...
I'm not sure what this mood is... Maybe a smooth talker?
One of these days I'll get around to figuring out how to make a gif. Then, I could really make them talk.

197. Sculpey 'stache (#2)

197. Sculpey 'stache (#2)

Another prototype (below # 1). This one with thicker hooks and spots for possible screws.

196. Sculpey 'stache (prototype)

196. Sculpey 'stache (prototype)

This was an early prototype for hookstache, made out of plain, peachy sculpey. It helped me get an idea of what form the hook should take. I needed thicker hooks, for a start.

194: Clip 'stache

194: Clip 'stache

This clip is for carrying two small tubes - namely epipens (in case of allergic reaction).
Two clips make a moustache...

191. Sleepy 'stache

191. Sleepy 'stache

Having fun with these moody moustaches. Maybe I will work up a spoof of that "how are you feeling today" cartoon...

Today, it's "sleepy."

190. Ornery 'stache

190. Ornery 'stache

This could be any number of expressions, but I guess ornery just about covers it.

188. Mr. Moustache

188. Mr. Moustache

Another character, but this time I skipped the produce section.
Maybe a mascot of sorts. A cheerful moustache wearing a moustache.

187: Character Study: Floyd Pomidoro

187: Character Study: Floyd Pomidoro



This is Floyd from the IT department.
Olive-eyed Floyd is a laid-back type with a mischievous sense of humor.
This is a still from his screen test.
And this one is later on, chilling with Larry:


Once again, no resemblance or reference to any real persons is intended.

186: Character Study: Larry Appleton

186: Character Study: Larry Appleton




This is Larry from the accounting department.
A serious type, a carrot top with a comb-over... or is it a toupee?
This is actually an old(ish) photo - I had an elaborate video featuring stop motion animated fruits and vegetables planned for my hookstache project, and Larry here was going to explain everything in a clear and concise manner. Then I realized I'd never animated anything before. Ever. It seemed too complicated, and fruits and vegetables can be so unreliable. So this is Larry's screen test atop the stove.
No resemblance to or reference to any actual persons is intended.

184: Door Hook

184: Door Hook

I thought it might be fun to give a look at the hook that inspired my hookstache enterprise.
This is on the back of a closet door. I thought it looked a bit like a moustache, which got me thinking... and turning all kinds of other ordinary things into moustaches.

183: Hookstache

183: Hookstache

Halfway there! Half a year!
To celebrate, I've launched a kickstarter campaign for hookstache, which is a wall hook shaped like a moustache. You can find the whole thing here. This is the idea that launched my obsession with moustaches, and, as a result, this blog. I hope you like it.
