Ryan made this wheelchair to accompany an old man character we designed for a buddy.

It’s part of our ongoing “Nerds Gone Mental” series.  We use mostly recycled materials to build our dudes and doodads and this chair is made with stuff we had lying around the studio.  The frame comes from an old dish rack that we originally found in the trash (no shame in garbage picking) and used as an operating table for a music video.  This time around it served as a great base for our chair. Training wheels were also garbage that we knew would come in handy some day.  It’s nice to get rid of old junk that stays in our studio for way too long.

The switchboard is made of old armature pieces…ball joints and threaded rod.  Also the lever was an old prop from a music video as well. The leather “upholstery” is made from our good friend’s old cowboy chaps from one of her Halloween costumes.
