The precision art of creating hobo nickels is alive and well in the skilled hands of British artist Shaun Hughes (previously featured here). These particular pieces each show off Hughes’ fondness for carving beautiful floral scrollwork designs on the portraits or backgrounds of coins.
Twisting through the portraits or creeping into the backgrounds, the fine lines give the currency new depth. With incredible detail and precision Hughes transforms these small-denomination coins into pieces of fine art, many of which are for sale via eBay.
Check out Hughes’ YouTube channel or follow him on Instagram for more photos of his excquisitely carved coins and videos of his painstaking process:
It’s always kind of funny when the Powerpuff Girls, in fanart, are drawn with fingers and noses and toes and stuff and it’s like…they legit don’t have those in canon. It’s not just a style choice, they actually don’t have fingers and noses.
I mean, apparently Buttercup just sticks her hand to things to pick them up (S03E29 Criss Cross Crisis)
And in Oops, I Did it Again (s06E04B) the girls, when made without Chemical X, come out “normal” and do have fingers, feet, noses, and normal faces.
So like…when everyone in the show calls them “bug-eyed freaks,” “pumpkin heads,” etc, they legit mean the girls have big round heads, giant eyeballs, and stump limbs.
I think it’s safe to say that the Powerpuff Girls are objectively horrifying. I want to see fanart of that.
SWEET JESUS
alright i realise im a little late to the party here but going back to how the girls are able to grip things despite not having fingers
at first i thought maybe they could have tiny hooks at the end of the stumps that would snag onto surfaces, similar to cats tongues ( and yeah alright spiderman ) but the issue is that they probably wouldnt be effective for smoother surfaces
they could also have wrinkled pads like geckos feet that could cling to smoother things no problem, but then the problem is maintaining enough suction to actually lift and carry an object
