Homemade T. Rex Costume

LordBrandon made his son a dinosaur costume out of mattress foam and spray paint. He said it cost him about $25 for materials, but a lot in labor. It was a labor of love.

I made a model in 3D, then used software to split it apart into a pattern, then I hung the foam on the wall and projected the pattern with a little pico projector, traced it with a sharpie, and cut it out with an electric turkey carving knife. It really seemed to come alive when I painted the eyes.

He'll be the best-dressed kid on the block for trick-or-treat, but all reddit could talk about was his socks.

That's funny, when I saw the post I was like whaaaat!? Because I just put out a music video for a song I wrote called "Dry Clean Only". So I was like, did someone steal my stuff!? :-)

It always amuses me when people think this is innovative. Peter Gabriel was doing this 30 years ago. Karlheinz Stockhausen was 30 before that.

It's safe to assume that imagination is the only limitation to making anything *musical.

*Insert your own definition of "music" here.

Love it! But as a musician and professional soundman for the movies, I'd really love to see him get a good pair of headphones.

Rock on, Dry cleaner musician dude! Great stuff
