Jul 10 2009Blew Out My Flip Flop, Stepped On A Pop Top, Decided To Make A Dragon

This is a dragon made entirely out of pop-tops. NOT POP-TARTS. Soda can pull tabs or whatever you want to call them. Pretty impressive, no? It think it would look great in the curio cabinet next to my novelty shot glass and improvised bong collections.

Banzaaaai!! Another little crazy stuff! I finally finished this dragon sculpture. It took me forever. I used pop tabs all the way from the tip of nose to the tip of tail except for whisker. I wanted to count it but again it'll take me forever to count lol. I glued them together with ordinary epoxy or cold-weld compound type of epoxy. this guy's about 14 inches long and 8 inches tall. By the way i want this to be called 神魂龍　(shinkonryuu) which inhabits the spirit of a person, where they obtain the necessary energy to live. When a person dies they move to a new spirit.

Now I hate to get all metaphysical on you, but is there any way to re-up on shinkonryuu life energy? I'm feeling pretty drained and the tiger penis tea did not work. HELP, NEED MORE DRAGON JUICE PRONTO.

Hit the jump for a collage and a link to the high-res version.

Thanks to shameema, who once made a dragon out of bottle tops but I pulled its tail off to play caps. I SAID I WAS SORRY.

I would make wonderful pop-top children with that thing. Talk about rust though....

6. Les Awesome - July 10, 2009 12:14 PM

I once made a horde of dragons out of twigs and horse dung. But as not to pull the focus away from this guy who apparently doesn't recycle, I won't post a pic. Pretty awesome though.

How many PBR's does one have to drink before they can make a dragon?...

very creative, DO LIKE! I can't generally find anything appropriate to do with beer tabs so this is FTW

12. Drew - July 10, 2009 12:42 PM

PORK CHOP SANDWICHES!
HOLY FACK, look at that dragon, reminds me of that time I played crouching tiger hiden dragon with Yellowbirds mom,
she was crouching and I was hiding my dragon...
you see, when a man wants to show a women how much he cares for them....
You see, a man puts his penis into a woman's vagina for both love and pleasure. But sometimes the woman lays on top of the man facing the other way so that they can put each other's genitals in their mouths. Uh, this is called "sixty-nining" and it's normal.
See boys, a woman is sensitive in her vagina and it feels good to have a man's penis inside of it.
but sometimes a woman chooses to use other things. Telephones, staplers, magazines. It's because the nerve endings in the vagina are so sensitive, it's like a fun tickle.
Now, onto double penetration, boys. You see, sometimes when a woman has sex with more than one man, each man makes love to a different orifice.
Going #1 or #2 on your lover is something people might do, but you must make sure your partner is okay with it before you start doing it.

@stompy

And when the woman has four penises in her at the same time, then stands over the men and pees on them, is that part of being in love too? Five midgets, spanking a man covered in Thousand Island dressing. Is that making love?

That... is uber pro. Making something so mundane and industrial into a very organic looking piece isn't the easiest of tasks.

Kudos on the Buffet reference. Hopefully you won't be limping back home any time soon, GW.

19. Pat - July 10, 2009 1:46 PM

Awesomely impressive. But don't let the Shriners find out you wasted all those pull tabs — they'll be pissed.

20. Matty - July 10, 2009 1:52 PM

@stompy...

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA..


GI JOOOOOOOOEEEEEEE

21. Daisy - July 10, 2009 1:55 PM

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photosdhop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was trying to get the race spectators to go to the town hall and stop the boss from stealing the orphanage, but everyone threw hot dogs at him because he was wearing an armadillo helmet.

22. Ciao - July 10, 2009 1:57 PM

You're a photoshop job

23. killswitch - July 10, 2009 5:44 PM

It is so amazing what people can do in their down time while welfare is paying their bills.

Yay taxes!

31. Whit - July 18, 2009 4:33 AM

@ daisy, it's not fake :P i personally sat there and watched him do it, AND gave him the gold tabs off my cat food cans to make the horns. so hush. he's an amazingly talented artist. and @ Gubba, he pays his own bills.

32. STOMPY - August 5, 2009 9:43 AM
