Spider Sisters Studio

First Zombies of the year

Joined at the Hip

Although Coupe and Crude Cruickshank "came up together" they weren't always joined at the hip. They have Auntie Cru, as she's affectionately know, to thank for that! Cru always thought the boys could "get on better" but there was little she could say to make them "see sense" That is until the zombie apocalypse! Cru seized the opportunity to bring the boys together literally, when she found they had both become casualties of the uprising. Coupe and Crude now spend their days, not fighting over music, clothing or even lifestyle as you might think looking at them, but over a single tin of pomade! Coupe has been rocking the James Dean look for years and fancies himself a real ladies man, he's sure the secret lies in his coiffure. Crude on the other hand would never live it down if his "hawk" wasn't flying high.
  

Now the boys not only fight, they never tire of inventing ways to get the tin from the other. If you look closely, you'll see that Crude has a bottle of hair remover in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other, he knows if Coupe has no hair, he won't need that all important tin of pomade....and so the battle rages on. The worst part is, now one can't hide the tin from the other...Auntie Cru, thanks for nothing!

Coupe and Crude are my first Zombie of the year, they are a one of a kind original piece created in a mixed media format. Crude is dressed in a pair of hand painted "denim" jeans, white tee shirt and leather look jacket made from vintage fabric, his boots have been created with the appearance of leather and have lug soles.

Crude is wearing Royal Stewart tartan stovepipe trousers, tee shirt, and hand painted studded "denim" jacket, his leather look boots are lug sole lace ups.Great attention to detail shows in every inch of this piece. From the comb in Coupe's pocket, to the over 250 hand stitched studs on Crudes jacket. I painted the denim used on Coupe and Crude so it was lightweight enough not to overpower the 17" stature of the bodies, it looks so much like real denim you have to look closely to see it's not! The denim looks like it has authentic wear with creases in all the right places. including wear on the pocket from the comb you'll find in Coupes jeans. Coupe wears a fully lined "leather" jacket that looks soft and worn, his lug sole boot appears scuffed and has not one, but two bite marks evident on it. Coupes coiffure is lovely raven camel, styled like his idol James Dean.

Crude's hand painted denim jacket boast over 250 tiny hand stitched "studs", his band badges have been hand stitched and I've created something that looks similar to safety pins that are in scale with his stature. Crude's leather look, lug sole boot laces and ties. Crude's tee shirt is a tiny custom "anarchy" one of a kind, there was only enough fabric to make his wonderful tee with studded, torn and pinned neckline, his trousers are an authentic Royal Stewart tartan in micro scale with a few added "safety pins".

Coupe and Crude both sport bruising, bites, gouges,rotten teeth, missing digits with a bit of bone sticking out, bloodshot eyes and a rotten skin pallor.

"Joined at the Hip" is a Spider Sisters Studio original one of a kind adult collectors piece. It will come to you signed and dated. As with all my Zombies, there is the option to purchase an entire background scene for your piece.
