SikMother Tentacles
SikRik Masks and Amy Mothersbaugh combined skills and are taking over the world one te****le at a ti Blah blah blah blah...finish later :0)
The Giant Te****le project started as a collaboration between Illustrator/muralist Amy Mothersbaugh and Latex mask maker/sculptor Rick "SikRik" Fisher in the Fall of 2013. What began as a desire to create a series of wall mounted latex te****les has grown into the SikMother brand and all the fabulous artwork associated.

Mini te****le Pog #3. You will be guarantee to score a mini te****le at the Giant te****le opening in Aug 2014 by pre-ordering your very own Pog for $100.00 USD + shipping (if you are out of town). The next available Pog I believe is #5 or #6 I'll have to ask my fellow S*kMother.
I stopped by the gallery today to pick up some tools and couldn't help but snap a few shots of the first few completed mini te****les. You may have already seen these...but I just had to share again. We will be making more with different paint schemes and will report back with more pics at that time. These will be available at our opening in Aug 2014 at Studio 2091.
Soon this wall will be covered with te****le tips.

Time to paint the babies- preorder pick for $100.00 and get your turn to pick special latex pog
Auditioning mounts- we had THE BEST work day today- it's like karma and mojo and creativity all had an o**y and we got to be there!!! Wait till these darlings get painted. They will blow your minds. They look so cool. Good job S*kRik Masks and thanks for hanging out Ryan!!! Time for a beer.
Progress was made tonight, but not without a LOT of oozing.
Casting a nine foot and a 2.5 foot today! Rik designed and made a cool token for the presale te****le purchases that will be numbered in order. Two sales and more coming in- it's our way of saying thank you!! We will unveil the design next week.
Drum roll- my mentor trusts me with 13+ gallons of latex alone! Casting a shortie tonight solo- first time ever :) - who ever wondered what a latex hand dip feel like? Just kidding Rik, I won't screw this up. Photos to prove it.
My sensei S*kRik Masks, just cleared me to rinse, strap, pour, burp, dump, pull and stuff te****les solo. I feel the power! Watch out world, this things shifting into overdrive.
Baby 2ticle mold working perfect! Go S*kMother!!!!
Ok- the excess latex is called 'flashing' not 'selvage' (my sewing background showed)
New mold brings big hope- beginnings used to be elating- wisdom and experience has tempered that. We learned what counts most is perseverance and plan B through plan Z. Here's to big hope!
"The muscles in our tongue, the te****les of an octopus and the trunk of an elephant are all structured the same way.”
We are currently selling selection rights for mini 2.5 foot te****les. We plan to make a generous but limited quantity, and will show them with the large 9 foot te****les this August at Studio 2091.
