Nichols Yeti

Craft artist Kira Nichols loves the yeti in more ways than one:


1) As Movable Papercraft Yeti, which she made into a journal...


2) And as crocheted creature, Yeti Amigurumi...

Going back to the basics

It's good to get a yeti with some armor, wielding a stave. Always a classic.

I like that his weapon is a stick with some rocks wedged into it.

Note that this yeti has horns... only he happens to be wearing them!

Figure Skating Yeti

Plush made for the Schmancy Olympic Challenge

Looks like a costume, but it's actually this size. But, as her creator brags, she can stand up on her own, even with the skates on.

Custom plush of Alexz's Yeti

Alexz's Yeti by =loveandasandwich on deviantART

I love this custom plush made by loveandasandwich (previously blogged about here) based on the yeti of Alexz (previously blogged about here).

Alexz is a yeti super-star so expect a lot more about her on this blog in the near future.

The Yeti by High On Fire

Beyond the mountains of ice
Exists a creature of frost
His secret lies in the skies
Eternal legend survives

His powers unknown by man
To catch a glimpse if he can
Wandering deep polar caps
Communication with saucer

Abominable nomad
The ancient monks know his clan
The time of yeti will rise
Because his ways have been wise

The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space bound seed

The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space bound seed

Bradley Yeti

Artist James Bradley is a yeti lover!

He creates the most abloblinable yeti I've ever seen.


He also does paperbag sculptures. Here's one of a Yeti Family:

Not Yeti Friday - Yeti Hunter & Icy

Husband and wife artist duo Scribe and Alisa merged two of their individual specialties (vinyl painting & plush accessorization, respectively) to make this custom munny depicting a hunter of yetis and his polar bear pal.

By the look of the pelt the hunter wears, I can tell their quarry was of the "abloblinable" persuasion.

League of Legends Yeti

Continuing on the theme for this week...


In the computer game League of Legends, there is a playable character of a yeti carrying a boy on his back.



The little boy is known as Nunu the Yeti Rider. And the yeti's name is Willump. Nunu was actually raised by yetis and Willump is his brother. Together, they can hurl ice shards and swallow enemies whole.

Check out an animation of Nunu and Willump here.

I am expecting great things from Nunu and Willump.

Adventure Time Yeti (?)

I don't know if this little guy in the bottom left hand corner is a yeti or not:



But I don't really need an excuse to highlight the upcoming cartoon "Adventure Time with Finn and Jake" premiering on Cartoon Network April 5th. This still is from the beginning titles sequence. It looks so great!

The original short that the upcoming series is based on is one of my favorite things, so I have high hopes for the full series. Here is the original short:

Ricks Yeti

For Illustration Friday, the theme was "crunchy". For his contribution, artist Sam Ricks chose to depict the yeti. In his own words:

"Given that snow is crunchy, it'd be even more crunchy if The Abominable Snow Monster danced in it."

Insightful and delightful.

Not Yeti Friday - Teek

Ewoks don't like Teeks. They consider them pests.

Yes, there is a creature lower in the evolutionary chain than an Ewok.



The Teek is like the yeti in that it is very rare and rarely seen.

The Teek is not like the yeti in that it has buck teeth and really likes to giggle.

Despite their irritating personalities, the Teek do possess the ability of super-speed - which is very handy when there are evil intergalactic thugs occupying your home planet moon.

But they are lovers, not fighters. They are the polar opposites of the Ewok - who are some of the best warriors in the galaxy. Forget Klingons, the Ewok can kill a man in full armor just by flicking a rock at his shoulder.

(It occurs to me: is it really a fair fight between stormtroopers and Ewok? - the stormtroopers are actually just 155th generation copied clones of Boba Fett, right? So, I mean, they've gotta be pretty pathetic at this point, barely able to lift their blasters.)

Anyway, the story goes there was a male Teek whose name was "Teek". And he met Wicket the Ewok and little girls were saved, and members of the two polar opposites became chums, and waved goodbye to the little girls:



But really, how could you stay friends with a Teek? I bet you right after those little girls left, Wicket got peer-pressured into dissing his new giggling friend.

Ewoks gotta have somebody below 'em. Ain't no Ewok gonna be hangin' out with no Teek. Yub nub, eee chop yub nub.
