#206 Dunsparce (Made from a Squirt Can)

And I still have no fluppin’ idea what this thing is. What is the distinction between ‘snake’ and ‘land snake’? Are those wings? WHAT ARE YOU, DUNSPARCE?

I’ve been getting into Flight of the Conchords lately. They are brilliant on so many levels. I’m all about subtlety in humor, and I dig their guitar playing. They’re quite good.

Check out my mate, Nick, or rather his SoundCloud page. He’s another guy who does remixes, except THEY’RE SO FRESH. He’s the best kind of person and he’s also a person who does remixes…but I covered that.

I wish I had more news to share with you, but I have yet to reunite with my childhood friends. It’s coming up soon, so I’ll make up a hypothetical story.

So, this one time, we could have gone to Peter’s house and we made potential cookies. It would have been a really great time when everybody was going to be there laughing and singing. We came close to getting really silly and putting frosting in each other’s hair. After that, we had the opportunity to go outside and start a fantasy fire and eat imaginary s’mores. Oh, what a grand time we might have had.

Our time together is growing thin. It always is. I wish upon you wholesome contentedness, quiet sleep, and friendly conduct. May your Christmas, Hanukkah  Kwanzaa, Candlenights, Festivus, Newtonmas, Movie Day (I’ll be seeing Django and Les Mis), or whatever me merry and bright. Unless you prefer the darkness. Then I hope it is dark.

As always, shameless plug. You can buy these things. $19 shipped until the 26th. Or vice versa if you prefer for some reason. Hit me up here if you’re interested.

Thank you for following, reblogging, liking, commenting, messaging, ordering, correcting, tolerating, loving, swimming, and waiting. I love you all a great deal.

I am not opposed to questions. I like sharing. And chering.

#123 Scyther

This is the first PKCN (official abbreviation) I made. It’s Scyther, as is indicated a few times.

So, I have crunched the numbers. I thought long and hard about each can sculpture I’ve made. It started in my room on 56, then to Randy’s room. My home base right now is in my dorm.

Ladies and gentlemen…Absol, my most recent post, was my 170th can sculpture!

Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll go ahead and give this post a respectable text.

#123 Scyther (The Mother Can)

Ahh…the good old days. I made this one when I was going through a very sad time in my life. I had recently left a group of friends due to personal differences, and I was feeling pretty depressed (how awesome is this post?). I honestly just grabbed my roommate’s scissors and the hot glue gun I bought  from Menard’s and spent three solid hours forging this from a Mountain Dew can that my roommate drank.

I still have this can, despite having sold it in the past to my friend, Jimmy. I bought it back and replaced it with a replica.

I don’t think Scyther’s my favorite PKMN, but this is probably my favorite PKCN.

Anyway, the main central point of this post is…uh…I make sculptures out of pop cans, it’s my 19th birthday, and I’ve made 170 PKCNs to date.

Thank you all so incredibly much.

#063 Abra

Abra took a lot of dedication. The head shape and size were the biggest factors. That is until I pierced the stand so he could levitate. In the process, I cut open my index finger. Abra is definitely up there with Raichu on my favorites list. But I think I would consider selling it.

Someone somewhere…ordered a PKCN and my Abra. Well I was looking at my Abra today when I realized that I still have it.

So if that was you, pokecans.com/ask me your info and I’ll get that to you.

Tehehe

#009 Blastoise

My personal 2nd, 3rd, or maybe 4th favorite. I really like that Raichu. If my dorm got robbed, the first thing I would check for is that Raichu.

Anyway, I made this planning to sell it, but my roommate liked it so much that I gave it away in exchange for access to Netflix.

I thought it could use a reblog. What the hay?

My 3rd Can Creation.

After I remade the bird I made for @thatonekidmegan from a Coke Zero can, (it unfortunately melted on the dashboard of my dad’s truck), I made Nyan Cat. It was at the time relevant.

It sits atop my broken tiny fridge. For the record, it’s a Mountain Dew can. And I won’t remake it. I don’t like working with Sharpies. Okay, I do but this was just a one time thing.

I’d sell it if anyone wanted it. I would. I’ve got plenty of knick knacks.

Thanks for reblogging, giving to charity, smiling at strangers, following my blog, and taking your vitamins.

#007 Squirtle (Version 3 for Reddit user deathorglory)

I call it ‘Squirtle used SURF’. As soon as I finished Alex’s Squirtle, I got a commission to do one via Reddit. It was monotonous at first, but I got into it. Also ‘Psych’. I’m watching a lot of Psych. I know it’s lazily written and the mysteries are half-hearted, but it’s my guilty pleasure.

I plugged a follower counter on the blog site. It seems more honest somehow. So you all know I have 273 followers. And I have you to thank for that.

If you see any of my pics on a reblog, give me a follow, you’ll like what you’ll see. AND! And I’ll follow you back. High five, bro!

#083 Farfetch’d

DUX, if you prefer. Has this PKMN been anything but annoying? In the anime, he was a punk thief. In the game, he had the worst nickname in nickname history.

But, he is adorable and if you mentally personify PKMN the way I do, he was a chill dude who could play the guitar.

Also, there has to be a leek spin video with Farfetch’d right? Hold on, I’ll Google it.

Yup! Bazaam.

As always, thanks for the fruit baskets. By which I mean following. If I haven’t followed you back, it’s because it’s not in your cards. Reblog, send me a message to let me know and I’ll follow you back. Wow that was a long one.

#007 Squirtle (Version 2 for Alex Gomer)

This Squirtle will survive. Actually, I just realized that because the guy who bought Beer Can Squirtle lives in an apartment, I can tell you HE SURVIVED! He’s safe, happy, and well out of reach of the University’s reach.

This guy is pretty big. I hate buying LaCroix because it is very bad tasting (ooh…very descriptive), but the cans are ever so usable.

Thanks for fowling and rebulging!

#016 Pidgey

A few things. First of all, all of my confirmed orders are done. They turned out great. I only need some blue cans so I can make some Squirtles. That’s not a euphemism. As soon as my sister gets me those freakin’ boxes, they’ll be shipped out.

This Pidgey was unfortunately orphaned. If anyone wants it, this one goes for $7.

I thank you for following and reblogging. Would you mind boosting my stat on reddit? http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/puptc/pok%C3%A9cans_i_cut_up_pop_cans_and_sculpt_the_pok%C3%A9mon/

#019 Rattata

Zubat. Tentacool. Pidgey. Rattata. These little punks costed us hours upon hours of our childhood. Between the animation of entering the battle, the dialogue ‘What will TRAINER do?’ and hitting RUN as quickly as you could, each one still took a full minute.

As an homage to those days, this sculpture took longer than expected. I saw a connection. I don’t make a lot of sense.

Anyway, here’s a Rattata made from a Grape Crush Can. Watching 30 Rock.

By the way, if you reblog one of my photos, I’ll follow you back. What they hay?
