The adventures of Marshmallow Man {part 1}

So I thought it was high time I posted some art I actually created and what better way to start than with marshmallow man! He's a great little guy I happened to come across the other day and he was nice enough to let me follow him around and take his portrait. He's actually really famous in marshmallow circles and I was honored he chose me to be his photographer. He's really good in front of the camera and I didn't feel that he was posing at all for me; he was just in his natural element doin' his thing.

Anyway, Marshmallow Man is very sensitive about his image and made me promise to post these disclaimers before I show anything. the photos you are about to view may contain material too sensitive for children and those easily shocked. ( you see, marshmallow man has this one quirk - he doesn't like to wear clothes - so all of these shots are au natural). Also, the content of these photographs are in no way any endorsement of the activities happening herein. Patent pending. All rights reserved.

Now, on with the show:

Meet Marshmallow Man.

Marshmallow man works as a bartender most nights. Here is is bar-tending for some of his friends.

Sometimes he sneaks a couple of drinks himself - on the house of course. Here he is swaggering home one night after having a little too much to drink. (Drinking always makes his feet swell up)

Here he is trying to break through a window. He's a wild man.

Trying to light his foot on fire, and succeeding.

Marshmallow Man going into the Devil's Larder. No Marshmallow man! Don't do it!

After way too many drinks one night (you can always tell by his feet) he "sees the light" and promises to change his ways. (Kind of like the apostle Paul).

So after he gives up his wild life, he's not quite sure what to do with his time. Then he realizes you don't have to drink to have a good time. So he becomes friends with some pandas.

Here he is trying to hug a panda. It's hard to hug one party's arms don't bend and the other party's arms are joined together.

Marshmallow man loves baths. And don't judge just because it's a martini glass. He's given up those ways.

Marshmallow man hates mice. He's deathly afraid of them. He faints whenever he sees one.

Especially mice with cheese.

Here he is doing his yearly measurements- he's now over 2 1/2 cups tall! (don't ask).

I asked marshmallow man if he knew what hot chocolate was and he'd never heard of it. So I made him a mugful. Here he is meeting hot chocolate for the first time.

It was love at first sight. I warned him though not to stay too long otherwise he'd dissolve.

Well, that's all for now folks. Let me know if you've spotted Marshmallow man in your area and what crazy feats he's been up to recently. Hopefully I'll be able to book another session with him soon.
