Kneaded Eraser Ninja Turtle




In between deciding what to doodle and eating pizza there is a magical dead zone of creativity. In that time I normally play with my kneaded eraser and sculpt it into various things. I have made hundreds of these kneaded eraser sculptures I just so happened to document this one. With a new TMNT film coming out soon this beloved childhood favorite has been on my mind a lot recently.

Hear me out.

Even though the original comic of TMNT is satire of what was going on in comics during the early 80's. Even though the original cartoon was just a vehicle to sell merchandise and toys. Even though almost all of the different reiterations of TMNT have ranged from bodacious to disaster *cough* Coming Out of their Shell tour, TMNT: The Next Mutation, and Turtles Christmas special *cough* I have stuck by it.

Will this new film be the end of the franchise? Will it be the worst TMNT project to grace the big screen. The answer to these questions is no. No matter how nostalgic you get for TMNT remember one thing. It was all a joke so just try to enjoy any and all TMNT for what it is worth. We will always have the original 1990 film and most recently the 2012 animated series which is fantastic.
