Critiques please

Mom threw a luau and wanted me to make some ukuleles for the kids
Really just short neck guitars with twine strings and large chopstick tuners on $1 fiber board boxes
I did have the foresight to take care in c cutting the boxes so that an left over could be turned into real CBGs with little extra effort

About the time I was finished with the tenth one she called and told me that she didn't want references to smoking so I had to cover them up

Completely forgetting that mom was a prudish woman with absolutely no sense of humor
I downloaded pictures of half naked Hawaiian women and glued them to the boxes

So I ended up with all these boxes with pictures glued to them that could not be removed
Unfortunately I had already tossed or destroyed five before my brain started working

If I could glue on picture on one why not another

Anyway
Submitted for your critiques some incomplete projects based on that idea

This one was from an old old calender I had been saving for some reason
There is a SNUS can with a piezo in it under the skin (right about at the horses butt) to act as a micro resonator/pick up

Randy, the kitty, is a "hello kitty" logo designed to target little girls in the little girl market of toys and anything else a little girl might want. Go to almost any toy store, and you will see the Hello Kitty logo everywhere.

The gun is a sarcastic attempt to make fun of the logo.

That is Kalashnikitty
The originator does a pretty good side business selling T-shirts at $25 a piece
He and I are on some of the same gun forums and I worked a deal with him on using it

The Spartan is a reference to the phrase MOLON LABE which has replaced the Cold Dead Hands line for supporters of the 2nd amendment

Side Note
Hello Kitty for some reason is very Asian every Chinese restaurant you go to has that stupid cat waving to you at the cash register
My wife is Vietnamese and the AK to her and her friends and family is the rifle of the VC
She is not amused even a little bit

And by the way that AR 15 that Mortimer linked to is a real gun not a toy and is obviously a California gun
That tells me that this logo has spread from Florida across the country
Cool for me maybe

I think these look great. Very cool, and just one more way to put your own unique stamp on these already unique instruments. Can't wait to see 'em strung up!
