Cardboard Kid at the Manchester Craft Mafia Christmas Market

Yesterday, Cardboard Kid went on a little excursion to the Whitworth Art Gallery to visit the Manchester Craft Mafia's Christmas Market. Lets have a look at what he got up too...



Me and all my animal friends

Not sure what this is in my coffee.

Hello Ladies!

Does it suit me?

Aaargh! Ghost Kid!

ANNOUNCING FOR 2012: Cardboard Covers

I am pleased to announce a new weekly Cardboard Kid project coming up in 2012 entitled CARDBOARD COVERS. Starring the Kid on all manner of album covers, I'm aiming to keep this running all the way through 2012 and possible beyond but I need your help to make it happen. I want your suggestions people! What album covers should star the Kid?  Want to see your favourite bands featured? Each one will be handmade from recycled cardboard, measuring 12 x 12 inches.

To follow along, you can visit either here or specially set-up new tumblr account - http://cardboardcovers.tumblr.com/

Here's a sneaky peek at what will be the first one. Can you guess what's being covered?

Out and About in Brussels

Cardboard Kid has been off to another European destination, this time to Brussels, riding the Eurostar to get there. While visiting, he saw Manneken Pis, the Belgian Comic Strip Center, learnt how beer was made and drank plenty of the Belgium stuff in the evening. The cheeky thing!


What's up there?


Ssh! Quiet Time!


I can see his willy!


Suprise!


Look! No Hands!


Is that a finger?

Glug, glug, glug...


My it's smelly in here!

Cardboard Kid visit the Aeroseum

Whilst he was in Gothenburg, Cardboard Kid went on a little adventure to a underground ex-military bunker which is now an Aeroseum! Filled with planes it was, and the Kid had a wonderful time clamber  over, under and through all sorts of thing. Look at what he got up to!

Nice Plane!

Ooh, where does this go?


My own plane! Now where's my goggles?


Found them!


Man overboard!


Get to da Choppa!


Ouch!


Nice hat! Could I give it a go? Why won't you talk to me?




Caught on camera!


And again!


Now how do I get out of here?

Out and About in Gothenburg

Where does he find the time? Yes, Cardboard Kid has been off on his travels again, this time to Gothenburg, Sweden! Also, The Kid went on a little side adventure as part of his trip. There'll be a special "Cultural Kid" update later this week. : )

Gothenburg!

Grrr!


My great-great-great-great-grandfather...

And here's his wife!

Riding my seahorse




Ooh! Fishes!


I'm sure the joke to be made here.

 What big teeth you have!


Hello sailor!


Nice hat!

Cardboard Kid visits Manchester Museum

After his visit to MOSI, Cardboard Kid has been eager to go out and do a bit more visiting. So he popped along to the Manchester Museum and had a good old explore around the place. He's been a bit nervous of late - let's how he doesn't run into anything scary.

Ah! Resting up the plastic garden

Nice Beard

Call me Ra!
Just off to explore the Pyramids
Tiny Monster!
Small Monster!

Big Monster!

Huge Monster!
Biggest Monsters of all! Run Away!

Cardboard Kid visits MOSI

After a long period of resting up the Kid has been out exploring Manchester yet again, this time to visit The Museum of Science and Industry. He had himself a lovely time, delving into Underground Manchester and playing with experiments. Just look at what he got up too...

I knew I'd make it on the big screen one day.

Pump it up!

Doggy play

To infinity - And beyond!
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll BLOW your house down.
 And as a special bonus, here he is on the Revolution Manchester site. Hopefully there'll be a way to share his vox-pops video as well at some point.
