Yesterday was Father’s day. I got some great Buzz Lightyear gifts from my family. A round Buzz Lightyear throw pillow from Target and a POP! Buzz Lightyear from the Disney Store! I loved the little figure so much I did a quick sketch for today’s Buzz.

If Buzz were one of those pre-inflated balls that are in the end-cap cage at Walmart… this is what he would look like.
This Buzz says, “I keep worrying that a Luxo lamp is going to jump on me and kill me.”

My three year old son (I call him Dunder) and I did this Buzz together. I held up the craft foam and he cut straight lines until we got the shape we wanted. I helped him with color selection and placement. He added the eyes, nose and smile. It was a lot of fun, and as an added bonus, his big sister was very impressed!
The best part was when Dunder noticed I was getting nervous holding the little bits of foam while he cut them. He said, “I not cut you Daddy.” Then after a successful cut with no blood he’d exclaim, “I no cut you Daddy!” Wait, you mean you didn’t believe what you were telling me? I put my faith in you three year old proclamation!
This Buzz says, “I look like I barely survived Death By Monkeys.”

This Buzz is a painted wooden shape with a hair clip fastened to the back with hot glue. The little lady modeling it for us is my daughter, Jenna. This was her idea and request.
This Buzz says, “I’m cool with being a hair bow. Just don’t tell Woody.”

I realize I’ve done quite a few of these Minecraft Buzzes.. but I just love blowing up these low-rez sprites into massive statues in game.
This Buzz says, “It’s cold out here.”

I bought a perfectly square block of wood the other day at Hobby Lobby. I knew I wanted to make a Buzz out of it… but there were so many options. My first thought was to spin-off a child’s block. Maybe hand carve in the letter “B” on one end, then find symbols from the Toy Story movies to fill in the other sides… but that’s not Buzz. I also could have painted each side as a different view of his head or body. Top being the top of his head, bottom being the bottom of his feet… and I may still do that in a future post. But today I ended up kind of rapping him around the block. It’s hard to explain so I shot each side so you can see them all below.
This Buzz says, “This is the last time I play around with the trash compacter.”

So imagine a world where Woody and his toy mutant friends didn’t save Buzz from Sid’s rocket. Buzz blows up. Pieces of him fall to the ground. One lazy day three weeks later, Sid cobbles together a new mutant using Baby Face (Spider Baby) and Buzz’s still-smiling head. Here is what that might look like. You know Buzz… he’d make the best of it somehow.
This Buzz says, “To Infinity and Sid’s Lawn!”

I knocked out this sketch in my journal during a meeting. I figured I’d have him salute rather than the hands on the hips pose.
This Buzz says, “Your majesty!”

A simple Photoshop modification of a typical Men’s Room sign. I’m going to print this out and put it over every men’s room at work starting Monday.
This Buzz says, “Occupied!”

I’ve done a clay Buzz before. I’ve even used polymer clay before. Today I wanted to make a full polymer clay Buzz figure… but as small as I could.
This Buzz says, “I look angry, but that’s only because I’m so little… and angry.”
See just how small he is after the jump. [click to continue…]
