Dana'a costume
Dana’s costume

My Halloween costume this year was a roaring success! Walking from unenlightened home to home, I did my pastafarian duty by spreading the word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to those with closed ears. “Blessed art thou, touched by His Noodly Appendage!” (Articulated noodles were a real boon.) I realize that preachers must wear full pirate regalia, but I hope an exception can be made when instead one appears in all the splendor of His Noodliness. Or perhaps it is sacrilegious and I should walk the plank!

This reminds me of Shrinky Dinks for some reason - anyone remember those?

Our Deity has chosen to appear on my key ring!

You can imagine I feel really Touched.

As an artist and a Pastafarian, I deemed it necessary to heed the calling of his noodliness and commence work to bring His glory to the two dimensional surface.

And I have used the principles of composition, of values, of line, and chromas, and I have painted pixels in his image. Blessed be the FSM for giving us the rules of composition!

And I arranged the masses of light and dark, and behold, they pleased His noodly Eye. Blessed be the FSM for creating contrasts in value!

And I cooked spaghetti for visual reference, and rendered His holy form, guided by His Noodly Appendage. And I have consumed the spaghetti, and rejuvenated by this holy communion, I placed the highlights upon his noodles. Blessed be the FSM for creating light and shadow, so that we could see our pasta!

And I placed colours and pirate regalia upon the army of His deciples, and behold, I spent many a day putting details in their midst. Praised be the FSM for showing us the way, for to err is human, but to Arr is Pirate.

R’amen brothers and sisters, may the image of His Noodliness please thy eye.

Huge thanks to Milek … I was blown away when I saw this painting. Click on the picture for the full-resolution version.

I think this would look great hanging in a gallery.

above the workspace

Watching everything

As a deeply religious fellow Pastafarian, I feel as a divine duty to report the following wonderful miracle to you.

Today, exactly at 9:45AM, our Lord, the One and Almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster, appeared and floated above my workdesk for several seconds. After He touched me with His Noodly Appendage, he disappeared, but fortunately not fast enough for leaving no evidence after Him. I managed to grab my camera and take this beautiful photo just before he faded away into the heavenly skies!
Please let me share this miraculous sight with the rest of the world, for the sake of spreading the divvy idea of our Great Saviour!

Yours sincerely,
Arnold

P.S.: by the way, the FSM doll was made (planked) from wool by my girlfriend and it’s hanging on a fishing string – probably scaring out the shit from anyone who’s not aware of it’s existence before entering the room :)

Origami FSM

I want one

Meterdown features this folded-paper FSM on their list of 20 Awesome Sci-Fi Origami creations. Aside from the fact that the FSM is for-real, not fiction, I love this. There are no instructions, unfortunately. I’m still going to try and make one.

Black velvet art

I am a black velvet artist and I recently painted the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I’m pretty sure that another loyal Pastafarian has done this in the past, so I stylized the great FSM to mimic the old Game and Watch LCD game, OCTOPUS.

It is set in the Pastafarian heaven, with a stripper factory and pirate ship (sadly, I had no room for the beer volcano).

Like any good velvet painting, it glows in blacklight. ;) I hope ya like it!

Sock Summit wood carving

Tracy

The kate is done and ready for the Sock Summit fiber festival in Portland, Oregon next Thurs-Sun.

Everyone who’s seen it loves it! I drew my own artwork and if I make another, there are changes I’d make, but on the whole I think it came out well. Feel free to post, and if anyone asks, my company’s booth will be #216 at Sock Summit (Portland Convention Center).

Oh, and for those folks who don’t know, a Lazy Kate is a tool hand-spinners (spindles and/or spinning wheels) use to ply yarn. You spin singles on several bobbins (one is shown below) and then when you ply, you use the elastic cord to tension the bobbins so they all move at the same rate, and you move the spinning wheel in the opposite direction and keep the yarn twisting uniformly. If you look at store-bought yarn you can see it consists of several strands, and a kate helps you get the twists even as you ply.

stained glass

My mom is pretty much the coolest mom ever and made this for my college apartment in Lubbock, Texas, which is straight up Bible belt. His Noodliness watches over us while we eat our dinners consisting mostly of ramen (being poor college students).

FSM Eggs

A little late for Easter but I just found this picture on the internet and had to post it. These eggs were made by Pastafarian Jamie.

fsm creation

knitfsm.jpg

My mother (who remains a Spaghetti Monster skeptic) gave up some ground on the religion issue and created a unique FSM crafty creation as a gift.

Seen here, he is judging our newly sponge painted wall. What other belief system offers a deity who is willing to provide constructive criticism for interior decorating projects?

My humble family were touched by his noodly appendage three years ago. We wanted to raise our children with a religions so that they would have a basis for a moral code in their futures. We considered Orthodox Greek (you know – Zeus, Hermes, Dionysus,and the whole gang) but we found the Pastafarian way of life to be a better fit. We just don’t have the funds or the grasslands necessary to offer the Gods of Mount Olympia the required burnt offerings of cattle.

what baby shower is complete without a flying spaghetti monster bib? i had the spaghetti, i had to have the bib.

look what i found

originaldrawing.jpg

I found *the* original drawing. It was in a box in my car, where I keep all my most important things. The Smithsonian people should put this up somewhere, am I right? How do we make that happen, internet?

*Update* They don’t want it. Here’s what they said:

The Smithsonian Institution is always happy to consider unrestricted donations of art for its collections. However, the Institution accepts only those works of art that truly fill a gap in or complement the collections and then only after careful consideration by museum curators, administrators and directors. The Institution adds to its collections only a tiny percentage of what is offered and typically does not accept unsolicited artwork.

We suggest that you try to find someplace other than the Smithsonian to showcase your drawing and/or promote the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster message.

His Noodly Appendage can also manipulate molten glass into graven/delightful images of Himself.

Touched by his Noodly Appendage, I was inspired and made a couple of designs. One is on fabric canvas and the rest are on plastic canvas to be used as drink coasters.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
