I don't know how I missed this for so long but here it is, a 20 foot tall paper mache ogre by Mat Brinkman. And this is where I would normally link you to all of Mat's incredible comic work but Fort Thunder's website vanished back into whatever weird dimension it came from. I do have all of Brinkman's online comic archive from the original site saved somewhere. If I can dig them up I might post them sometime with permission from the right people.
Ogre found thanks to Jacob Covery at the Fantagraphics Blog. Photograph originally posted by Dan Nadel over at Comics Comics.

i saw that ogre in person.
it moves.
The ogre was at the Rhode Island School of Design's Museum in Providence, RI. It was displayed along with other collaborative work.
I wish I could have seen it in person, it needs another 3 or 4 buddies to hang with.
Man, if you can score the permission, I'd love to see more of Brinkman's work. I was lucky enough to score a sack of Brian Chippendale's homemade comics before he blew up. He sent them in a silk screen package!
I've got a stack of Paper Rodeos sitting around that I might scan stuff from and include in the Brinkman stuff that I got off the site, but whether I will post it to the public will be entirely up to the Fort Thunder Crew. I need to contact some people because I'd like to get this stuff back online as soon as possible. Skeleton Jelly is something the world should not be deprived of!
