Tom Waits






From Wikipedia:

"Thomas Alan Waits (born 7 December 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor.

Waits has a distinctive voice, described by one critic as sounding 'like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car.'

With this trademark growl; his incorporation of pre-rock styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville; and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona."

This non-sequitur toy is just about 27 inches long from top to bottom tentacley leg thing, just about 10 inches wide, and completely hand sewn.


I really like Tom Waits, the singer. I also really like this Tom Waits! He took quite a bit of time to hand sew because of his time and my slight laziness. But he turned out pretty sweet.
