Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
"O Garamon, O Garamon, How lovely are your branches! In beauty pink will always glow Through summer sun and winter snow. O Garamon, O Garamon, How lovely are your branches!
O Garamon, O Garamon, You are the kaiju most loved! How often you give us delight In brightly shining Christmas light! O Garamon, O Garamon, You are the kaiju most loved!
O Garamon, O Garamon, Your beauty pink will teach me That hope and love will ever be The way to joy and peace for me. O Garamon, O Garamon, Your beauty pink will teach me."Thanks to everyone who made this a great year for us, hope your solstice season is ultra-fabulous...more pics are on the way!

Re: Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
Thanks all...(knew you'd enjoy this one Mike ) yep, it's a scratch built original sculpt - clay, bondo, epoxy etc. over a wire armature...the only bits we bought were the branches and the decorations...even the eyes are hand painted. took about a month to make (roughly a hundred hours and a hundred bucks!) happy festivus, y'all. cheers, a

Re: Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
This is amazing. He'd look great in a window, everyone would think it's a regular tree from the outside/back view and have a nice surprise when they saw the front view inside.

Re: Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
I did a Garamania post on this beast on Xmas Eve, with some additional pics from atom: http://garamania.blogspot.com/2012/12/merry-christmas.htmlThe one that shows all of the minis-as-ornaments on his back really puts the size of the piece in perspective (Gyango's about 3"). Again, MAG-FREAKIN'-NIFICENT!!!

Re: Pink Holiday Garamon Tree
cheers, everyone...! genuinely happy that folks are enjoying the big pink fluffy. i did take a few artistic liberties with the character (i'm not much of a purist), like the texture on the legs - was going for more of a 'tree bark' feel, i dunno if it comes across or not. and the teeth are a lot more prominent, etc., blah blah... moments ago we just got blogged by archie mcphee's endless geyser of awesome (via spanky stokes). w00t!http://geyserofawesome.com/post/39343547802/holy-smokes-its-a-bright-pink-christmas-treeHAPPY BIG PINK NEW YEAR!
