You, frozen in carbonite

Nerd sculptor-laureate Paul Pape will make you a custom mini you-frozen-in-carbonite for an extremely reasonable $50 plus shipping. He promises to get them done in time for the Solstice Holiday Season, too!

Custom Carbonites (via Super Punch)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I can’t imagine how he can offer these custom pieces at such a low price. It’s not just faces, but custom clothing and poses. Yikes!

Can you get these before Life Day?

“Solstice Holiday Season?” That’s probably the most pathetic little nerdy PC term I’ve ever read.

  At least he didn’t say Winter Solstice, as that would display significant hemisphere bias . . .

  PC? hardly. the solstices are/were pagan holidays. i wouldn’t exactly call them politically correct.

    Solstices were everybody holidays, celebrated by nearly every culture and religion up until modern times, at least in agrarian areas. There are still many traditions that exist in the secular world that take their origins from Solstice celebrations, and there are many people who celebrate the Solstices today, be they Atheist, Animist, Agnostic, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Pagan etc. It’s sad to see how many traditional celebrations have for the most part died out in the west, especially in the past century and a half.

These really need to be made from chocolate. Mmmm, chococarbonite.

Nice! Even more epic if he made silicone molds for making chocolate bars, popsicles, etc.

Easy enough to DIY that from these, of course.

TSA should offer these as CNC-milled prints of your terahertz scan at their checkpoints.
