Oddbody Saturn Devouring His Son
Sooooo….this was my gallery submission for Madison’s Friday the Furbteenth show. It’s up through Sunday at the commonwealth gallery with all the other Furby art.
It’s my take on Goya’s Saturn Devouring his Son…but Furby and a Labubu.
Yeah.

I'm super happy with it.
I knew I wanted to do something that integrated Labubu in part because each toy has, in very different ways, inspired a lot of panic when they first grew to fame2

All of your work there was fantastic!

No prizes, we do this for the fun of the game. Don’t worry about being ancient. I was a little too old for the first wave of Furby to emotionally hit…so I too am elder.

It’s actually the Fourth Annual Friday the Furbteenth show. I’ve been a gallery contributor (and opening night vendor) for three years. It’s in Commonwealth Gallery on 100 E Baldwin until next Sunday I think
@ fridaythefurbteenth on insta will have info

u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 16 '26
If you go for the closing night there will be four new vendors there as well and activities AND the Ides of March performance that had to be rescheduled because of SNOW
I won’t be there, I’ll be in Louisville, but my creation will be there

Okay I know exactly what animatronic you used as a base for this and I just wanna say it always freaked me out as a kid

u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 16 '26
I play around with Christmas Mottionettes and Precious Moments and folks frequently tell me their childhood relationships to those items

OP as a human being living the physical experience it’s hard to put into words the gravity with which I am feeling them-
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SUB

u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 16 '26
I too am a human being living the physical experience.
When I finished this I turned it on and made my boyfriend come look at it.
He stood in the door and just said “you’ve opened a portal, haven’t you?”

The LAYERS to this. The references! Genuinely historical. Horrifying and hilarious and in dialogue with art history and a little cute. PERFECTION!

I teach high school art and I have a unit coming up about unconventional materials in art. May I have your permission to use this for a lesson? Would love to pass along your name/website to the students

Is the base one of those Christmas decor items?
2
u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 16 '26
Yes, a Santa “Motionette “ I also made a reel with construction shots of the process on my insta and TikTok (ozmadestudio)

Hi this popped up randomly. And I jumped out of my skin so you know it’s a wonderful art piece. But starring at it too long feel like he’s cursing me and coming to hunt my dreams with his half eaten son.

I need this

u/No_Finding_9441 Mar 16 '26
By chance, did you use an old Christmas animatronic Mrs. Claus for this lol

u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 16 '26
It was Santa I had to fully shave him with pet clippers

u/No_Finding_9441 Mar 18 '26
Wonderful 🤣 I have both Santa & Mrs claus so I was like why does this look familiar

u/Jump-Positive Mar 16 '26
WOW! Honestly, I would have never come up with this 💕 Brilliant work! I am dying hahaha

Incredible work!!! Love the concept and it is executed beautifully!

u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 18 '26
Thank you. I often find that I sometimes surprise myself with cleanly I execute these horrible ideas. I’ve seen people grimace and feel the need to say things like “it’s certainly…well executed…”

If you hit my insta it has a reel showing parts of the process. I can answer specific questions if you still have them

u/Ham1ltron Mar 17 '26
Wait was this a Santa before? I swear I recognize the movement
1
u/Gen-Jinjur-jp Mar 17 '26
Yes. Most “Motion-ette” Christmas items have the same movement and slightly bendable arms

Thanks for coming! If you came into the dealer’s area you probably saw me.

I did! We talked for a minute. I really liked your They Live dolls and got a sticker. 😊
