Q*bert and Coily: Silly Snouted Scholar and Sinister Sandy Snake Saturday Supercade Stone Statues


Lately, I have been making sculptures using materials I've gotten from the beach.  My latest project is Q*bert and Coily from the 1983 CBS cartoon, Saturday Supercade.  The show was produced by the now defunct Ruby Spears animation, and featured a rotating block of segments based on video game properties.  Other cartoons in the series were based on Pitfall, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Donkey Kong Junior, Kangaroo, and Space Ace.  The Q*bert segment seemed to be based on Archie comics and the TV show Happy Days, but set in the modern world of 1983.

Q*bert and Coily are made from rocks, shells, and paint.  Coily's tongue is a painted shark's tooth.
