The point of departure for our customization of Tainer
Boy was built on the consciousness of Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket concretely.
We
wanted to turn around the story of Disney,
and Jiminy Cricket has become a
ghetto gangster,
who took advantage of Pinocchio for enrichment rather than
away from the problems.
To add a touch more like a New York neighborhood, we
use the name of the English version,
Jiminy Cricket (J.Cricket), and add the
nickname "Da Hustla" rapper slang
that means someone who makes money
from a not so legal way .
Pinocchio on the other hand is absolutely manipulated
by Jiminy Cricket, who has complete control of his "mind", and uses
it to transport the dirty money he earns from busking.
At the same time,
Pinocchio, makes very clear, as shown by its growing nose, that the container
contents has nothing to do with the timber transport.
We have worked on Tainer Boy platform using epoxy
putties for modeling cricket,
airbrush to paint the pieces and decals for the
logos of container and cap of Pinocchio.
