Rikochet plancha!
E-postcard / photo by Brian McCartySunday afternoon I had the pleasure and privelege of assisting Brian on his photo shoot of Double Ninja Ninja and Rikochet in Silverlake. Although it was a hundred degrees and the concrete was burning hot, it was fun fun fun! You can see below how it’s done. There’s a wire attached to Rikochet to hold him in place in mid-air while Double Ninja Ninja stands on the street.
Master toy photographer at work
I have been hassling Jorge and Sandra for months now, to order and pick us up a Rikochet piñata from Tijuana. Tonight, a message from Sandra: “I have some good news and some bad news…”
The good news was that the piñata is ready at last! It’s done! The bad news was that it was way too big to fit in Gabe‘s car (which is a Mini Cooper like ours) so is momentarily stuck in Tijuana…
Sandra sent these pictures of the Rikochet piñata and we think they are hilarious.
So Rikochet’s body proportions are taller than normal;
he has a neck; some weird thumb action going on amongst other things;
and is almost bigger than Sandra!!!So I said to Sandra, you know what this means, don’t you? Now I want BUENA GIRL and THE FLEA!!!!
