Datamancer.net - Technical Art and Steampunk Contraptions

I needed about 4 or 5 plastic fetuses for an art project I'm doing (maybe one day ill finish it and link it from here), but I could only find them in 50-bags. One can never really have TOO MANY plastic fetuses, so I went ahead and bought them and began giving the extras away to friends and enemies. Around number 4 or 5, I decided to start documenting thier fates for your amusement. Because everything I do, I do for you, my adoring public...you ungrateful sons of bitches. Enjoy. Check back often for updates.
photo coming soon	1. Origins The day I recieve my bundle(s) of joy in the mail, I put a few in my bookbag and brought them along for company on the walk to a bar show in New Brunswick. Along the way I picked a red tulip, slipped a fetus into it, and put it under the windshield wiper of some random car.
photo coming soon	2. Bloody mary. The next was dropped into a mixed drink at the bar... "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" "...fetal alcohol syndrome...tragic really" Photos 1 & 2 will be "reenactments" because i didnt care to document all this at first
	3. Wombless This one was given to a friend...no interesting story behind it, really...it's just sitting in her room somewhere now.
	4. Fetus, the other white meat. A friend of mine works in a deli and shrinkwrapped the fetus I gave him. It even has a custom label that says "Fetus, Male, 6oz." He had some fun with it for a few days, slipping it into the deli case and messing with people, then later traded it for 2 shots, 3 beers, and 6 cigarettes. None too shabby.
	5. The Right Stuff. This little guy was the finale for our fireworks show this 4th of July. It was a perfect, staggered, 3-stage launch from our custom-made 40 oz. launchpad. This little patriot went up about a quarter mile and returned to earth unscathed, to fly another day. Eat your heart out, Laika, you mangey Russian spacebitch! This is true grit. This is a TRUE cosmonaut. He's got the Spirit, that feeling.....that....AMERICA kinda feeling!
	6. & 7. 6 & 7 were painted as Blue Demon, a Luchador (Mexican Pro Wrestler), and Super Dave Osbourne, respectively. Then I tied them to "It's a boy!" and "Baby Shower!" balloons, and gave them to the mercy of the winds with the following message on a little card. "This little explorer has been set free to wander the earth and find himself. If you find him first, please write to XXXXX@datamancer.net and let me know where he ended up. Thanks!" I'll keep you posted if I actually get any replies

	Goodbye, little guy! (my back is turned to the camera to conceal my quivering lower lip...I'm really only half-kidding, it was a touching moment..I actually felt for this small lump of plastic)
	8. Vitruvian Tot This is one that some girl made for me. It was a Valentine's day present....yeah we were weird.
	9. MECHAFETUS! someone summon Godzuki!
	10. But which came first? My friend Jacob made this one. The fetus is inside a hollowed-out egg and backlit with a candle. Farmers will use this trick to check on the development of chicks in their eggs. Great concept, great execution. Thanks Jacob!
	Here is his daring escape. hmm. I wonder... what a human fetus would look like with an eggtooth?
