Help Monster: Metal Yard Art Sign Eats Pain and Anguish

help monster yard art
 
The Help Monster, also known as the Pain and Anguish Eater, is a must for those experiencing the modern-day crap this world throws at us.

He’s a fun, lovable chap with four cute little appendages, big, bold eyes, a fun and funky body design and a giant mouth that greedily gobbles all your anguish so you no longer have to deal with it.

Mine seems to get fatter by the day.

He can be personalized with your name on the side so the Help Monster knows exactly which woes to target.

The Help Monster pictured is the prototype, as well as the one that has been ingesting my anguish, so any orders will be custom made. Please specify color and name you want on the Help Monster; if neither is specified, a purple Help Monster with no name will be sent your way.

Why you need it:
Crappy economy, crappy job – crappy life. Decimated job market, foreclosures popping up like weeds…need we go on?

How I made it:
Metal yard art is created with love and care by first cutting out shape from sheet metal, filing down the edges with a Dremel and pounding out kinks with a flat hammer and anvil combination that the neighbors and my dogs hate. Spray paint, hand-painted lettering and clear coat follows.

Specs:
Approx. 10 inches wide by 10 inches high.
Weather resistant, rust-resistant paint finished off with clear coat.
Wire loop for easy hanging. Two-tone body hues.

Variations:
Custom orders always welcome! Can go bigger or smaller with Help Monster, or even him having screaming “Help” in Spanish, Chinese or French. Any color is fair game. To place a custom order or more info, e-mail ryngargulinski@hotmail.com

Fish Art: Beware of Ugly Fish Metal Sign

ugly fish sign
 

Ugly fish might be necessary to make other fish look pretty, but by no means is it necessary for you to go near them. Remember to steer clear with this gorgeous ugly fish metal warning sign, a perfect piece to enhance your fishpond, home aquarium or desktop fish bowl. Putrid orange hues blend unnaturally with light purple polka dots and wild, unfocused eyes.

Why you need it:
You will never again have your arm ripped off by the jaws of a horrific-looking fish if you have such a sign to remind you to steer clear. Your fishpond, aquarium or fish bowl will also benefit aesthetically from heeding the warning.

How I made it:
Metal yard art is created with love and care by first cutting out shape from sheet metal, filing down the edges with a Dremel and pounding out kinks with a flat hammer and anvil combination that the neighbors and my dogs hate.

Specs:
Approx. 15 inches wide by 12 inches high.
Weather resistant, rust-resistant paint finished off with clear coat.
Wire loop for easy hanging. Ugly purple polka dots.

Variations:
Custom orders always welcome! Fish signs can include specialized species, such as colossal koi or battling bettas, or the ever-popular “Beware of Goldfish” and “Beware of Guppy,” the latter of which sold out nearly before I finished making it. A big wide fishpond of possibilities is yours for the choosing. To place a custom order or more info, e-mail ryngargulinski@hotmail.com
