Q: How many characters have you performed as? Plasterman is the primary character, with various personifications - cowboy, guitarist, business man, farmer, astronaut, basic man-about-town. I am working on a chef. I have also gone out in as Agent Sterling (silver), Think Green, Moe Zaik (mosaic), and The Mad Spatter.
QWhen did you start peforming as a living statue? A: Spring 2000. You can check out the rest of the story on the Story of Plasterman page.
Q: Does it get hot in your costume? A: Yes! Yes, it does. Especially when the temperature goes about 80' without a breeze. I don't even bring out my silver character - Agent Sterling - unless it is under 75'.
Q: How can you stand so still? A: Combination of having the right metabolism rate, muscle control, healthy living, and being confortable with my own thoughts.
Q: What is that on your face? A: I use Mehran Clown White and baby powder.
Q: What is the longest you have stayed still? A: On two seperate occasions, I remained still for 45 minutes. Q:What happens when it rains? A: Fortunately, the make-up is waterproof and the suit has a layer of protection that helps when it is just a light drizzle. When the rain falls heavy, the crowds thin and I join them under shelter or I either finish for the day or resume performing when the skies clear.
Q: How much do you make? A: When I busk that amount varies from day to day. Happily, I do make enough to call it my profession. However, if you are wanting to hire me, let me know and I'll give you details. |
