METAL MAN you feeeel like ElectrO...

We've all heard the track "Last Night a DJ Save My Life" haven't we?! Random I know but bare with me as I try and break down the Metal Man concept into bitesized chunks! Metal Man is a Hero...no wait...a Superhero who posses the same powers as our life-saving DJ (rescuing the hearts of all those who've lost their groove!). He is made up of hardware from a golden stereo...he's fired and wired with more magnatism than CAT's MBX speakers, and since his closest living relative would be Iron Man...lets just say being 'fly' runs in the family lol!
Can you see him yet?? Oh fudge it...just listen...Introducing METAL MAN:







This imaginary super hero came to life while I was researching my demo photoshoot and though I mentioned him briefly in my post Who is Ashleigh Ashley, he's been in hiding ever since! Now that the Metal Man song is finished and our imaginary Superhero has a theme tune I thought it was only fitting for him to have a suit of armour! Crazy bitch that I am...I really brought this concept to life by rigging up these bad boys:





Made from the nuts and bolts of Metal Man himself (and a few re-configured pieces of stereo hard-ware) pulling on one of these pieces transforms the wearer into a Warrior of Sound!! Not REALLY lol...that bit is still just a figment of my imagination :o But they don't look half bad on:


Me and my girl Petrina @ The Factory earlier this year.



My boy Alex aka. ALEX PRINZ rocks a Metal Man chest piece DJ-ing at MTV Sweet 16 Party!

The Metal Man artillery continues to grow with more designs in the pipeline...including masks ... Hit me up on ashanneash@gmail.com if you want yours ;D!
