Hamlet is Alzi Heimer’s Best Buddy

Hamlet & Heimer are alive and acting in a 5-minute-movie:
“Don’t fear”
(a SistasInspirationProduction)

While I was knitting on my creatures stitch by stitch they came up with their own personal histories:

Hamlet (my avatar on ravelry):
Hamlet, the skeleton, is an unlucky inventor, who accidentally blew himself up while he was experimenting on some hair-removal or hair-grow elixir or whatever, who knows?
Hamlet is pesky, frenetic, enthusiastic, hysteric and absolutely nerve-racking.
He is full of ideas but almost never successful. He is constantly gabbing and commanding Heimer, who, with his chronically clogged nose, rarely grunts a protest, the poor thing. His sluggish slow-wittedness drives Hamlet absolutely nuts but he also feeds his exuberant self-esteem from his devoted votary.

Alzi Heimer (my alter ego):
Heimer, the neglected depressed zombie kid, grew up in the uninspiring slummy outskirts of a big city. Because no one took care of him he spent all day lolling in front of the telly, chomping pizza and chips, picking his butt and his nose. No one knows when his bowels popped out of his belly and he became a zombie.

The only thing they have in common is that they don’t realize they are dead.

Dress code:
In one episode they were sent to a gym, Heimer to loose and Hamlet to gain some weight. And poor Heimer doesn’t know any other sport besides from wrestling…

In the TV series they both are unengaged actors looking for a job and end up with cleaning a basement garage.
This is why Hamlet is dressed like a janitor and Heimer had to borrow his mum’s apron dress and head rag made from Noro Ganpi Abaka Tape (!!!)
The cleaning rag is pure silk, by the way…

Hamlet and Alzi Heimer are actually commissioned work.
I was asked to create 2 monsters for a miniseries on German TV.

Monster Episode 2
You can watch them acting! (at the very end)

Unfortunately the TV series stopped after one episode and Hamlet&Heimer became unengaged actors in true life.
