Mantis Awarded

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:15 pm

Mantis (by me and Killbuck) awarded in Spin Magazine's "Best and Worst from the Voodoo Experience" (paragraph at the bottom): http://www.spin.com/articles/best-and-w ... page=0%2C2

Almost as good as "winning the Burning Man"!

"...But the far and away winner – as a trip toy – was a piece by artist Mr. Jellyfish, titled Mantis. It was a tower of glowing green wire with pink eyes, shaped like a praying mantis and strapped to the artist via backpack harness, which also housed controls for its buggy limbs. It stalked the festival grounds with the apparent artistic goal of frightening people on drugs."

Congrats, Jelly!
