Nick Pitera Chibi Illustration and "This Is Halloween" Cover
 |
| Nick Pitera. Courtesy of Google. You're welcome. |
As is the way with me, I have fallen in love with him! I found all of his stuff, like his Youtube channel, his iTunes page (I have already downloaded all of the songs - he needs to add more), and his Spread Shirt store.
And I'm not the only one, oh no! He's already got a Facebook fanpage of over 82 thousand people and a street team fanpage devoted to strengthening his career. There is even a Buzzfeed column on him.
The covers I love the most are his One Man Les Miserables video, his One Man The Phantom of the Opera (he even does Christine!), and his version of "Brokenhearted" because that song is awesome in general!
Anyway, I didn't get to spend my October like I had wanted this year - damn work and bills! And damn my friends work and bills! So I created a cute little chibi illustration of Mr. Pitera for the festive spirit of the spooky season! Check it out:

Titanic Piñata Party!
 |
| Picture found here. |
My friend's birthday was in July and I wanted to do something great for this milestone!!! I had an idea that would make it a stand out for her! Her favorite movie is "Titanic"... You know the one. So, I decided I'd make a Titanic piñata!

You'll need these supplies:
- scissors and/or an exacto knife
- tape
- glue
- small boxes
- cardboard tubes
- tissue paper or Crêpe paper - black, red, and white

- Now, depending on the size of your boxes, your Titanic could be fat, long, tall, or an exact replica. I didn't go for exact replica but I got pretty close. I wanted to fit in a lot of candy. Unfortunately, I just used what I had for the most part and didn't take any measurements.
- I used four slim boxes, with the two in the middle being the taller, similar to the actual ship. *I used the movie pictures because they were in color and got pretty close to the real thing. And the older photos were black and white and not of the best quality.
- I cut the boxes down to points on the outside boxes. Then cut out the two inside sides of the boxes that were the middle of the structure. *You will use a lot of tape to hold the boxes together.
- Leave an opening to put the candy inside. I left mine in the top.

- Take the paper rolls and either cut them in half for them to be the right size. Or you could use the same rolls I did, toilet paper rolls. *For those who just made an 'eww' noise, don't worry, the candy will not touch them.
- Then tape the rolls on the taller of the two boxes top. Do the best you can. This was the most troublesome part of the creation for me.

- Using a paint brush, paint on a thin layer of glue on the outside of the bottom half of the 'ship'.
- Use the roll of black crêpe paper to wrap around most of the bottom of the ship. Then do the same thing with the sides. But only up to about an inch and a half from the top.
- Cut up the white tissue paper into small square strips. You can use a roll of white crêpe paper, like the bottom of the ship, if you like. I did mine the hard way because I thought it would look better.
- Paint a thin layer of glue on the top of the boxes and gently pat the strips of white tissue paper into place. Do the same with the top of the taller boxes as well.
- You can wrap the paper around the steam pipes as well. I did both strips and wrapping on mine.

- Add candy. Whatever you think will survive a beating or at least just taste fine smooshed. Tape the top closed.
- We had so much fun busting this thing open. The glee on my friends faces was worth every bit of effort!
Here are a few pictures from when Titanic Piñata met its fate:

| Kissing it goodbye. |

| Laura making sure it won't get up. |
 |
| Get it Ashley! |
 |
| Punch it to smithereens Laura! |
 |
| Oh the humanity! |
