Soda Can Sculptures

Hey, I'm Stan! [They/Them] I take soda cans, cut them up, and create sculptures out of them. Sometimes I do other media. =]

For your viewing pleasure, I present:

"Front-facing Raidramon, ft. JPEG Compression"

Please enjoy looking at him! (Or hate it; I'm not a cop.)

My April Fool's post is that it's actually the day after April Fool's (and also on the wrong blog, ahaha.. 🫠).

I just think he's neat. 😄

And I changed my mind--enjoy him o r e l s e .

I'm extremely late to game, but if anyone would like to add me on Pokémon Go to do gift exchanges and such:

This is me, btw. Please feel free to add me!

Found this poor soul packaged like a DoorDash to Jaba the Hut. Couldn't just leave him like this. 😢

Rescue effort below the cut:

Wheelin' him off for the prisonbreak...

(Gotta say, dat side-eye be a bit ungrateful-seeming, doe.)

The distortion makes it hard to discern where I'm cutting. Trying to not dismember the patient. His insurance doesn't cover amputation and I can't be going around giving out free surgical procedures, regardless of if they are accidental.

It's like excavating a fossilized specimen. It's like if Pokemon was Spectrobes. It's like my therapist trying to unearth the "real" me under all the masking.

A crown for the Drama King of side-eye:

FREEDOM: ACQUIRED!!

If only Nintendo had colored him blue and replaced those noodles on his head with little Mario cap wings so he would fit in with his own evolution line...

Thanks for joining me on this journey of freeing another wrongly imprisoned Pokemon. My goal is to release all the falsely accused, so if you have a Pokemon Power Bouncer that I've not yet freed and would like to sell it to me (or donate--I'm poor af but certainly don't expect handouts), PLEASE hit me up! 😅

I'm so sorry you're in such a horrible situation. You are going through so much and I hope you know that even if it doesn't feel like it at home, there are people who care about you and are thinking about you. We all believe in you and know that someday you will be where you want to be. You have more strength than you know and you deserve the very best!

Thank you so much. It's for sure hard to feel strength or care when the things thrown at me regularly feel derived from neither, so I really appreciate your kind words. <3

[sodacansculptures]

I’ve been following you you for years now and still peruse your blog to marvel at your talent. Thank you for being you! Hope to see you posting again soon

Thank you, I really appreciate that! It makes me happy that my art isn't dead and still doing what it was put out there to do. :)

I built a stylus rig for my Switch. It is attached to the console via a headphone jack piece and connected with one of those twisty pieces from a keychain with a split-ring added on each end. Depending on if I need to use the headphone jack, the rig can either be wholly removed or partially removed by unclipping the clip, which is attached to the stylus through a hole.

Feel free to send me any improvement ideas!

Does the hand grippies help with hand and arm pain?

[sodacansculptures]

It certainly helps with hand cramping. I'm not too sure about arm pain, though, since you still have to hold up a brick the whole time. I can't imagine going back to playing without a hand grip, though. I'd cry.

Homemade nativity scene

[sodacansculptures]

Does anyone know where to buy these, or have one(s) in good conditin you'd like to sell to me? I know I'm like 6 years late, and all I'm finding are dead links/out of stock/inactive listings.

If you can offer any help tracking these down, I'd really appreciate it. If you are the first person who can get me a working link from which I can buy them (I am in the U.S.), I will Venmo you US$10. Thank you!

Welcome, chum! Have a look. No rush, no rush at all.

It’s Kicks...in wooden pixel form!

Made from dyed/stained wooden blocks, in the same arrangement as the Kicks badge from the Nintendo 3DS Badge Arcade. I have since sprayed him with a coat of clear gloss to make him look more finished. Took more hours to complete than I’d like to admit--

He can’t move his paws to shine your shoes, but I hope you like him awright! <^,=,~ (My attempt at a skunk emoticon)

I’m looking to sell this fine specimen of a man, so if you are interested, please shoot me a message here. I’m still figuring how much shipping will cost, but I’m thinking US$30 for Kicks, himself, plus shipping. :)

[sodacansculptures]

So uh I've been doing some woodworking. I've spent 5 days on a pixel sprite project and I should be done with it tomorrow. Just thought I'd drop a little teaser here.

[sodacansculptures]

When I die, I want my ashes sealed inside a soda can. That is my legacy. Put me in a Coke can, and no, Pepsi is not okay.

[sodacansculptures]

I want my ashes buried in so many ironic things (see also: Yu-Gi-Oh! tin). Maybe just split up the ashes into the various vessels and whoever seeks them out like pirate treasure and assembles them like Exodia gets 3 wishes or whatever from me.

At the advent of the fallout, I returned to my childhood bedroom to scavenge (I was wearing a mask and everything. Felt like I was robbing my own old house). I spotted these two on the shelf, and I thought they looked nice so I snapped a pic. I found the pic on my camera roll today and thought I'd share.

Screw it. Froggy Chair.

[sodacansculptures]

So I helped make some Battletoads to hang from the ceiling of my game room...

[sodacansculptures]

I canNOT believe I never posted any pics of the Hylian chests I made. They come complete with a playable ocarina.

I'm sold out of these particular ones, but I have 2 without lining I can sell and I have some more and in other sizes that I'm working on (including a proposal ring box)!

[sodacansculptures]

I'm putting this in a Nintendo Switch box and giving it to my brother for Christmas.
