Midnight Snack

A Real Fake Animals Installation, 2023

MIDNIGHT SNACK, a Real Fake Animals installation came down a bit ago. I figured it's time I actually post my groceries from the show!

The installation was at the 301 Frame Gallery in Beverly MA. What a fantastic opportunity to work with so many neat friends/artists in a place I find to be a home away from home. The installation was for the two windows are the first two images there, one side a blanket wall of puppet heads, and the other a creature being caught getting a silly snack.

I obsessively assisted in the craft of the character, made lots of grocery items (not all are pictured), and participated in other late-night shenanigans. These are my favorite items that I made.

All are made from felt, embroidery floss, lots of fabric glue, some bristol board, and plastic plates.

Official RFA website and other info coming soon, thanks for the support!

stop motion puppets I was working on in early 2018. I think I have a test animation somewhere with the little skeleton guy.

Finally done!! Pattern by me, all handmade (including the frame!)

Inspired by the lovely Welcome Home project headed by @partycoffin, I couldn't wait to post my finished work! Every letter is patterned after either text on the website, or Wally's handwriting.

Welcome Home has been a huge inspiration for me lately, and I cannot Wait to make and share more physical crafts!

This guy looks like he expects the Godzilla puppet to get up off its butt and do something.

BTW, that's the stop motion Godzilla puppet from King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). It's in excellent condition for something 62 years old, especially as it was probably just living on a shelf in Toho's (notoriously un-air conditioned) warehouse.

I always wondered about what the anon asked as well. Care to share your reading?

I more or less agree with the OP's answer that it's about Louis not wanting to be connected to Madeleine, but I think the motivation is probably different?

My read is that episode is really about Louis trying to let Claudia go, and that he's acknowledging the complete dissolution of the family unit. After all, if Lestat and Louis' turning was a wedding, and Lestat turning Claudia was Lestat giving Louis a daughter, Louis knowing that Madeleine and Claudia are a love match in a lot of ways turns him into the father giving his daughter away on her wedding day. Turning Madeleine isn't about love for him, nor about having a child, it's about seeing his daughter as a grown woman ready to start her own family without him.

The acknowledgement of Claudia as an adult is not one he's ever genuinely made before - something s2 makes very clear with Claudia having to pose as his daughter again in wartorn Europe, Baby Lulu being the female diminutive of Louis, and then, even more tellingly, with Dreamstat explicitly referring to her as such - and while she's been pulling away all season and trying to force Louis into independence, it's been something he's pretty clearly very resentful of.

Madeleine though forces his hand, because Claudia finally choosing a companion splinters the last leg of their family unit for good. Madeleine is a stranger to him in the way many children's spouses are strangers to their in-laws, and Louis doesn't have Lestat to share the weight of that with anymore (and he doesn't have Lestat because of Claudia, which deepens the resentment). All he knows - which he discovers through turning her - is that she loves his daughter, and I take Louis trying to get the blood out of himself as a bitter and wounded sort of wedding gift.

He wants to give them their freedom, but at the same time the depression he experienced as an empty nester in New Orleans has already set in, he has to live with the fact that his attempt at a family has ended, and Armand's never been as satisfying to take things out on as Lestat was, to say nothing of the fact that he - as Assad put it - doesn't give a fuck about Claudia. At least Lestat gave a fuck, even if he usually gave the wrong sort of fucks, haha.

So yeah, I think it's a sort of attempt at a resentful wedding present, in a lot of ways, to try and give her this thing without being a part of it, and a real attempt to let Claudia go as his daughter.

Little does Louis know though, Claudia's the gothic heroine of this story, and she's not ever going to get out of her father's (or step-father's) house.

Mmm. Long time no see wonderful Tumblr community. While I haven't been active on here, I HAVE been active with making art. Specifically.....

Crossing over the stop motion puppet animation show Moral Orel with season 1 of the live action crime drama show Fargo by making PUPPET LESTER NYGAARD!

My friend @lester-nygaard and I have had this insane crossover idea of these two shows. And I knew in that moment of beautiful fandom creation, months before, that I had the perfect birthday present idea.

And now I've got the itch for it.... so if there is anyone else as insane as me and my friend about this idea... I wouldn't say no to making another

Sometimes you can make the coat, sometimes you can fly the plane, sometimes....just sometimes you can make the puppet ("puppet").
