Lately, I have been making sculptures using materials I've gotten from the beach. My latest project is Q*bert and Coily from the 1983 CBS cartoon,
Saturday Supercade. The show was produced by the now defunct Ruby Spears animation, and featured a rotating block of segments based on video game properties. Other cartoons in the series were based on Pitfall, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Donkey Kong Junior, Kangaroo, and Space Ace. The Q*bert segment seemed to be based on
Archie comics and the TV show
Happy Days, but set in the modern world of 1983.
Q*bert and Coily are made from rocks, shells, and paint. Coily's tongue is a painted shark's tooth.
