Zappa, University of Illinois, circa 1984.

“Interviewer: 'So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?'

Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?”

Quote: Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

 

I come from nowhere

And you should go there

Just try it for a while

The people from nowhere

Always smile

 

Their eyes are all frozen over

The sides of their faces pooch out at the corners

 

Because that's what happens when their mouths turn up

On both sides

Which is why we can tell they're smiling

 

They never frown

They never let their eyebrows turn down

They like going around with their teeth showing

All the time

They are from nowhere

Your teeth are showing

So maybe you been there

 

You could have the disease of nowhere people

Where the air gets stuck all over their gums

When their nowhere lips roll back

For real excitement

They stand still

They shut up

Then they don't do nothing

 

with a few of the band members

La zappa il tridente il rastrello la forca

l'aratro Il falcetto il crivello la vanga

e la terra che spesso t'infanga

Frank Zappa (& The Mothers Of Invention), September 1973, Musikhalle Hamburg

From a few years ago now but that is a vintage Oath burner

Not the shot I originally intended. But the moment I saw the picture in LR I immediately thought of 'The He-Man Woman Haters Club' from Little Rascals. SO Here are my little camera haters.

 

They would also like to add that "that black box sucks eggs"... Unruly little furballs

 

From L to R Daxie, Zappa, Basil (in the back), Zya and Dweezil

 

This video is the answer to how they keep Basil in line...

Zappa Garcia concert, 1984, Chicago.

Nov 23, 1974, at Michigan State University

I had this vision in my head that came to me late on Friday night - this is isn't it. I was listening to a Phish song and said to myself "Self this is the perfect answer to the group challenge" Sadly I didn't have time to do it, so I'm not telling you what its is just yet as I plan to use it later on in the project... I was hoping this would be a bit more "Snoopy- Red Baron-esque" But it was freezing cold and windy. But I do love the end result. I wanted the rust red of the metal tunnel to really pop so I desaturated my scarf as it is red and purple flannel. She didn't feel the need to read the newspaper at her feet apparently.

Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, singer-songwriter, guitarist, recording engineer, music producer and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, jazz, orchestral and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band The Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist.

 

Listen to some of my favourites :

City of Tiny Lights

Broken Hearts are for Assholes

 

Its been 20 years this year since Frank Zappa died, its my hommage to him.

  

The Build :

When i first saw Iain Heath 's video where he shows how he works on Bilbo, i was surprised to see all the differents steps he had to do before produce the figure itself. I must say, i'm a huge fan of Iain work, and this video was kind of a masterclass for me.

I'm not very skilled in building Lego, but i did would try to build a character based on Iain method.

 

Well, here it is. It took me 3 weeks, and its certainly not perfect as Iain (especialy the connections of the arms and the arms themselves), but for a first attempt, i must say i'm quite pleased with the result. I rebuilt the body several times to fit the scale.

I worked on Frank's guitar before building Frank himself and it was a big mistake. The scale wasn't not the same at all. I had to rebuild the guitar and i'm not really satisfied with it, but i think i can't do better for now.

 

All this to say it was a really good and enjoyable experience. It was my first and i hope there are more to come ! I already have some ideas....

A big thanks to Iain Heath alias Ochre Jelly for posting his work video, and for bulding such excellent characters build.

Mr. Frank Zappa. This image is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Man, who's music has affected my life...
