Fetish Kart

My Fetish Kart (from the side)

This Kart has heavy duty bicycle wheels. It has a variety of items that some men may fantasize about. It includes two dolls that I made which are dressed in school uniforms.
The back view of the cart shows drawers and dolls in the openings.
Directly behind the stuffed dolls are temple (tempo) blocks that are activated by rolling the cart.

Spider & Woman


Here we have a spider that has lost it's ability to spin web but has learned the art of welding. (preposterous) The spider used its welding skills to entrap a woman.
Again an example of Don's wry sense of the absurd.
