Day 14: James and the Giant Prunus Persica.

I was going to use "Overipened Plant Ovary" but I think it would have offended some people.
Since this is day two til my studio final and bugging out because I've been living at the computer lab. (i've really been roughing it out)
 I have to keep this much shorter.
I'm sorry, but a students gotta do, what a student's gotta do..and please note this post may be a bit strange, as I had not slept in two days and surviving on old sandwiches from my bag.
Anyway, as I was trying to figure out the facade of my project, my thoughts derailed at some point and I thought about ...
James and the Giant Peach. Yea.
In case you don't know this riveting story, I'll keep it short with my interpretation of the story. its basically about a little boy who lives with two abusive aunts. He finds some magical plant growth hormones and makes this dead tree somehow bypass the pollination process and makes a peach..not many peaches..just.. one. This peach keeps growing until its as big as a house. (Perhaps the peaches the tree could have made combined into one) The boy, who had enough of his aunts, said "peace b*tches, i'm out" and with his insect homies, hijacked the giant peach and head to New York City. They make a ton of money developing this plant growth hormone and win the Nobel Peace Prize for ending world hunger. Unfortunately, because of some baseball scandal, his insect homies flee to South America, where they start a colony with all the other giant bugs,while James is sent to prison.
Wow i'm out of it. Just wiki the story if you really want to know. I'm sorry Mr. Dahl, I actually do love your work, I mean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?...classic.
now I want some chocolate..i've been getting weird cravings lately...damnit, thought process derailed again.
Anyhow, I thought about...why a peach? what about a nectarine? (its kinda the same no?)
 I thought about what if Mr. Dahl had used other fruits..



I think Durian would have been the worst choice out of them...It has the smell of rotting cabbage and eggs and since its skin is spiky, they can't camp out outside...
If I had my way, I would have used this fruit I used for one of my projects.
(Note: I actually drew these...(seriously)..see I can actually draw!...but I know you guys already knew that..heh.)




( If you're curious, it looks like custard on the inside and tastes like it.)
Looks bizarre right? In my mind it looks like something a pigeon dropped on my arm once. Imagine seeing that flying towards New York City..
My version of the story would be more about a pigeon uprising using a Sugar Apple as a weapon of mass destruction and a man named James and his Insect crew that fights them to protect New York.



James Cameron, I want you to direct this epic film
i'll see you all at the Oscars...
or at the Crazy house when my finals are over.
if I make it.
(P.s: through rigorous research, I found that a peach is really the best fruit that possibly could have been used.
Good Job, Mr. Dahl. As always.)
(Haha..I'm really going to regret posting this later..but right now...i'm being takin' over by Architecture)
