5 Lesser Known Characters of the Stickandgooniverse

Stick and goo, (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

The Stickandgooniverse mainly consists of Stick and Goo. This is probably an obvious fact, as they are who the stickandgooniverse is named after. Apart from the main characters like Stick, Goo and Deutschdog, there are also some lesser known characters. I will post them here! (I aim to do a more biblical post tomorrow!)

See also ‘the Prawnmower‘, ‘the Spynapple‘, ‘Parrot Police!‘. I also recommend the bee range – there are links to all the pictures of the bee range so far on the page with the prawnmower on (if you look near the bottom of the post). 

1. CLAMANOR

'Clamanor', (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

What the what is clamanor? I made it up and drew it and even I have no idea what its supposed to be! I think its part clam, but the rest is anyone’s guess. It certainly is a smiley thing, whatever it is!

2. THE FUN HOOVER

'THE FUN HOOVER', (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

The fun hoover is a vacuum cleaner that sucks away everything that is dull and boring and excretes (if that is the right word) everything that is whimsical and fun! Its also fun to look at, and probably fun to use. Fun on a bun. With extra mustard.

 3. CHEESE FINGERS

'CHEESE FINGERS', (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Cheese fingers is a beasty beast made of cheese. Its biggest weakness is that it is edible. Also, that it is not very strong. Is it a villain? Does it have a gender? Is it dangerous? Is it tasty? ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!!!

4. Shade Face (1 and 2)

' Shade face 1 and 2' (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

What can I say about shade face? One of them is a face that is half shaded. The other one is a lamp shade with a face. We had a good run, but shade face didn’t provide as many outlets/ as much variety as the bee range. Perhaps the shade faces will appear in a comic sometime. As  a novelty band or something…

5. Geoffrey Erasington-Wibblesnit

'Geoffrey Erasington-Wibblesnit' (c) STICKANDGOONIVERSE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Ah Geoffrey. Geoffrey Geoffrey Geoffrey. The gentleman of the world of dry-wipe whiteboard marker erasers. Part whiteboard eraser, part shocked gentleman, Geoffrey spends his spare time relaxing in the classroom with a cup of jasmine tea. He can’t drink it though. He’s an eraser, duh! :P He’s shocked that people still use him…

ALSO BEFORE I FORGET UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!

For all you peeps who read one of my posts waaaaaaaaaaay back a couple’a months ago, you’ll remember a project called ‘rise of the arachnid’. Well, just to update you there – I’ve started writing/ drawing it. It is not a Stick and Goo epic though; it is going to be a more realistic tale! OOOH SUSPENSE! MORE WILL BE REVEALED IN THE FUTURE!

There you have it – 5 lesser known characters of the Stickandgooniverse. There are many more to come – stay tuned!

In search of the incredible

This morning it rained. In fact, most of the day it has rained on and off. This evening, it rained so hard, the signal went on the TV. Being British, most of our people would be inclined to complain about the rain. I mean, thats sort of our thing – talking about the weather. Other cultures have their own talking points; one example of this is how Italians love to talk about food, and talk in depth about what they have for lunch and dinner, even if it is the same every day. We talk about the weather. If, by chance it ventures above 15 degrees, we have been known to complain about the heat. If it goes below 10, we complain about the cold. If a few snow flakes happen to fall, there is a ruckus! Last time it snowed ‘heavily’, the London public transport stopped or something. In contrast, Canada manages to keep going day after day, despite having drastically heavier snowfall. As I woke up this morning I saw the rain and heard the harsh winds howl through the trees, causing them to sway and dance. Most people would complain about the weather, but not me. I saw something beautiful. Something that reflected the glory of God, the creator of the world. I tried to catch it on my phone :

Now that autumn is upon us, the leaves have begun to chance colour. The reds and greens in the foliage mix so beautifully, and when you just spare a moment to take it all in, its breathtaking. I thought to myself, why stop here? So I had a look around at the rest of the beauty of creation (that was in my immediate vicinity). In my opinion, plants are so beautiful. No 2 plants seem to be exactly the same! And they each carry their own charm. The shapes of the leaves, the colours of the berries and flowers – they are simply magnificent. Even cut flowers are beautiful:

Just seeing the way that each flower and plant is intricately designed is incredible! Each one carries its own individuality, and yet each one goes well with other plants. They can be truly resplendent on their own, or can be stunning when they are accompanied by companions. They truly show the glory of God’s creation. But it isn’t just flowers that are beautiful.

I looked to the skies, and noticed the clouds. Whether sultry and dark, or fluffy and light, the clouds are beautiful, and incredibly, they always manage to compliment the sky. That can’t be a coincidence! Last night the sky was glowing a pinky-purple colour. It was marvellous! But it does not stop there! Because of all the rain lately, there has been an abundance of rainbows, which are truly exquisite! Colour itself is beautiful. The concept of colour is beautiful, and the thought of designing colour is baffling. Another beautiful, yet baffling thing is time. The concept of time is beautiful, but the way it works and the fact that God created and thus exists outside of time is baffling!

BUT WAIT! THERES MORE!

Even the animals are beautiful. From anteaters to zebras, every animal is beautiful. They are all incredible in their own way. The plumage of a peacock; the fur of a cat; the pattern of a giraffe; the whiskers of a walrus – each animal reflects the beauty of creation, and thus glorifies God. It is incredible that God created all this! So many species of animal, such a wide variety of plant life, such a beautiful environment; its all so beautiful, it MUST have been created. No bang could have done this, no matter how big. Did I mention how beautiful the world is? Look at this cat!

How cute is that! Only God could create something so cute. awwww! Its squeezing its eyes shut! aww! Incredible! Beautiful! But God, in His infinite wisdom and with His unfathomable creativity, did not stop there – He brought us, the human race into the world. (Don’t believe me? Read the first couple of chapters of genesis. Its the first book of the bible.) And do I even need to say it?

Go on then, I will; we are all beautiful – each one of us carries our own beauty. We have the choice to glorify God verbally and with our actions, but the fact that we are here alone reflects His beauty! God made us in His image! By my logic, if we even look a little bit like God, this means we must be truly beautiful!

After thinking about creativity, I thought that our own God-given creativity breeds beauty. For example, music! Take the music of Jason Mraz for example! It is simply wonderful! The way he orchestrates different instruments, the timbre of his voice, the songs he writes – its incredible! One of my favourite songs of all time is ‘a beautiful mess’. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsNglM1TO5o . That song is beautiful! The way it has been written, and the use of brass and other instruments is wonderful! The lyrics are so sweet as well. It just makes me want to smile. :) Another wonderful song by Jason Mraz is his latest single, ‘the world as I see it’. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjP7VTHUais . The song is catchy, the lyrics are heart-warmingly romantic. The tune is lovely. In one word, this song is beautiful! The creativity of singers and songwriters (like Jason Mraz) shows the beauty of music, which is a gift given to us by God. King David wrote many songs to God in the bible (read Psalms if you’re interested). Lyrics and poetry and music are truly incredible things. They are beautiful!

I love the individuality and creativity of different musicians. And being a singer myself, I like the way that different voices sound! Some of my favourite singers are: Matt Thiessen (Relient K), Matt Redman, Tim Hughes, Ben Cantelon, Jason Mraz, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Adam Young (Owl City), Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble and Adam Levine (Maroon 5), just to name a few. Each one carries a different sound, and their voices are each individually beautiful! And the different songs that they write and perform are beautiful.

I was listening to ‘Jefferson Aero Plane’ by Relient K earlier on, and part of the song stood out suddenly:

“Feels like/ I don’t remember/ ever/ being this tired/ before now/ my eyes were closed to/ all of/ the beauty in this world…”

Upon hearing this, I realised that most of the time in my busy little life, my eyes are closed to the beauty in this world. I’m so focused on whats going on and whats coming next that I rarely stop and take in the beauty around me. From now on, I’m going to try and pause and take in the beauty of creation!

Sometimes, I just look up at creation and the incredible beauty of the things around me and just say to God “Wow God! Your creation is simply beautiful! Its breathtaking!

I went further than looking at music to other arts. I know i’ve waffled a bit, so i’ll try and cut this down! Film, literature and theatre are beautiful, as they show the beauty of good stories, and how entertaining they can be. Paintings, drawings and other artwork are beautiful too! They have the power to tell stories, evoke reactions and spark emotions, as well as being aesthetically pleasing.  The environment is beautiful! The way the mountains are formed, the rolling seas, sandy beaches, busy cities… Need I say more? In short, the world is beautiful! It is truly incredible! God’s creation is glorious, and through it, we have cause to bring Him praise!

But why stop there? The cosmos is stunning too! From the stars to supernovas and planets, God’s unfathomable beauty is reflected! And from what I have read in Revelation (last book of the bible), Heaven sounds even more incredible! Wow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfjZGoXhuzE here is a lovely song about heaven by Phil Wickham.

When I step back and reflect on creation and its vast reaches, and all the things God has made and how incredibly beautiful it is, I scarce can take it in! My head nearly explodes at the thought of it! Its indescribably wonderful! Thank You God for Your beautiful creation! It takes my breath away and never ceases to amaze me!

Recently i’ve noticed that people are searching for something incredible. They just need to look around them at the world.

If people reflect on the beauty of the universe, it will blow their mind, as it continually blows mine! My mind cannot fathom it’s beauty, and my words cannot express how incredible God’s creation is! WOW!
