M is for Morbo


Morbo is my stalk-eyed, stripey friend. Actually, he's a gift for another friend, this one significantly less stalk-eyed & stripey. Morbo is my first sock creature made without a pattern. i really had to listen to the soul of the socks & let them tell me what they wanted to become. since Morbo started out as toe-socks, i knew i wanted to utilize the toes to the fullest extent possible. lately i have a fondness for drawing stalk-eyed, tentacled creatures, so fetal Morbo (in his rainbow toe sock form) seemed to beg for some long, bendy appendages. as a bonus, his eye stalks have wire at in the center, so they can be shaped in to pretty much anything (except sandwiches, Morbo has an irrational fear of sandwiches).

Morbo enjoys trigonometry & dance dance revolution. in his spare time, he haunts the dimensions frequented by space elves & people on DMT.



& for no particular reason, here's a picture of me & H.P. :
