Brett: Here, kitty. Here, kitty, kitty. Enough of that kitty crap. Jones. Jonesy? Here, Jonesy. Meow. Meow. Jonesy? Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. Meow. Here, Jonesy. Jonesy? "In space no one can hear you scream"; Alien, 1979.
Obviously, this is neither an Ellen Ripley quote nor is Jones, the Nostromo's orange tabby cat, in this scene. But this is the closest (and easiest to recognise) I could get to visualising one of Ripley's terrifyingly close encounters with the Alien from Ridley Scott's original 1979 movie.
I neither have an orange tabby cat figurine (only a black Schleich cat), nor an Alien figurine. So: improvise. At first, I by all means wanted to include Jonesy the ship cat, because how else should I justify picking a part of that famous quote as a title? But at only 3 inches, Jonesy was a little too much for the scene, so I decided to stick with Ripley and the Alien, while keeping that quote because it is so memorable. I think anyone who watched that movie also remembers this scene when Parker and Brett ventured out to find both the Alien and Jones (and how many of us intensely hoped the Alien wouldn't find the cat first?)
As the Alien, Veloci, my small but ferocious (and gentle at heart) velociraptor mini Schleich figurine, stepped in. So one might even say this is "Alien, Jurassic Park edition". And as Ellen Ripley, the only (human) survivor of the Nostromo, I was able to cast a Lego Minis astronaut space lady ("I love strong female characters in sci-fi movies. I was born to play Ripley. Sigourney who? Never heard of her.").
To create the Alien's sleek, pill- or capsule-shaped head, I borrowed the space lady's helmet visor. While Veloci didn't like that the visor covered her eyes, she still very professionally played along. I also tried a few things to create the Alien's second jaw (a short nail or screw, for instance, but everything was too long and/or wide for Veloci's tiny jaw), so let's say I captured the very moment before the Alien made use of its pharyngeal jaw.
The setup itself was as simple as it gets: just Veloci, disguised with the visor, space lady Ellen Ripley, already wearing her space suit, a round black piece of cardboard as a divider (a leftover from the 3D puzzle ball solar system set; it held Saturn's cardboard rings together before the assembly), a black background, and one single "shot". Just what Ripley needed to blow the Alien into space.
And why "Alien", of which I am a huge fan (the entire franchise, but especially all the movies that include Ripley/Sigourny Weaver)? When the movie came to German cinemas in late 1979, I was too young to watch it, so while I stayed at home, my Mom and an older cousin of mine went to see it. They returned unexpectedly early. Of course, I eagerly wanted to know about the movie and why they were back already. There are two possibilities of which scene finally made them leave the theatre (my Mom doesn't remember exactly which): either the facehugger or the chestbreaker scene. I couldn't by a mile imagine what they told me about that scene that scared them out of the theatre, so, from that moment, I knew I had to see it with my own eyes one day.
HMM, dear Flickr friends! (I'll catch up with you later tonight.)
H.R. Giger and his xenomorphs really fascinated me since I had built my Predator, so I used the new black moulds to recreate the iconic alien.
All started with the flexible body and the use of handle bars. If you want to learn more about this creature check out the article on NewElementary and the video we made in Skaerbaek.

The Alien is a 2012 sculpture by the British artist David Breuer-Weil. It depicts a giant humanoid figure five times as large as a person, embedded head-first in grass. The sculpture was first installed in Grosvenor Gardens in the City of Westminster in April 2013, as part of the City of Sculpture initiative. In September 2015 it was moved here to the National Trust property of Mottisfont in Hampshire.
The work is executed in glass reinforced plastic with a bronze powder coat. It was scaled up from a much smaller maquette and incorporates hugely enlarged versions of the artist's fingerprints as well as his own graffiti. It was inspired in part by Breuer-Weil's grandfather Ernst, who fled to England after the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938 but subsequently found himself labelled an "enemy alien". In acknowledgement of the link, the name "Ernst" is written in large letters on the surface of the sculpture. The sculpture also incorporates a portrait of the fictional Kaiser of Nerac, a character who rules an imaginary world conceived of by Breuer-Weil as a source of inspiration for his artworks.
According to Breuer-Weil, Alien is intended to evoke "the shock of an alien landing in the heart of London and taking everybody by surprise"; he comments that "every new work of art should be like an alien landing, something sudden and unexpected." The sculpture is meant to be more about "our sense of belonging than any sci-fi theme", but Breuer-Weil suggests that "extra-terrestrials are completely human, maybe just different in scale, as is the case with my sculpture, which is five times the size of an ordinary person, but very human otherwise." He notes that to a certain degree, being Jewish is like "landing on an alien planet ... We belong in this culture, but our forebears crash-landed into it."
The work was well received by the public and critics, being named as one of Time Out's "Top 10 Public Sculptures" in July 2013. Permission was initially granted for the piece to be on display at Grosvenor Gardens for a period of six months and a subsequent application was made to extend its appearance for a further 18 months. This was approved by Westminster City Council and the statue remained there until 13 April 2015. It was then moved to the grounds of Mottisfont in Hampshire, where it was unveiled on 7 September 2015.
Mottisfont Abbey is a historical priory and country estate in Hampshire, England. Sheltered in the valley of the River Test, the property is now operated by the National Trust. About 200,000 people visit each year. The site includes the historic house museum, regular changing art exhibitions, gardens (including a walled rose garden) and a river walk.
It's obviously healing! The staples came out on Day 8 and little by little the residual scabs are washing away.
...okay, this is much more gross than the last gross picture...ewww, who would use yellow tape for something like this???...
