The Story Behind Andrew's "Surge-Man"
Andrew first gave us a look at Surge-Man
while showing us his SURGE-decorated
room. His 6-foot tall figure made out of old SURGE cans has
generated lots of interest and so now Andrew brings you, the story
of Surge-Man!

Ah,
the SURGE Man, most beloved by all who encounter him. Yes, me and
a friend created him. You see, I had this shelf that I put all my
cans on after I finished drinking them. Well, after that shelf was
full, we needed something to do with the cans. I felt bad just throwing
them in the recycling bin. You see, they deserve more than that.
So I had just been rolling the idea around in my head of a person
made entirely of Surge cans. One night, my friends and I were having
a round of SURGE and I mentioned the idea. They both thought it
was an awesome idea, and my friend went to work right away. He built
the body using cans and a lot of hot glue. When he had finished
creating his body, I went to work on the "skin": Surge
cans cut open. I added a face, hair, hands, and skin over most of
his body (I'm still working on finishing it all). He is complete
with moving arms at the shoulders and elbows, rotating wrists and
neck, and a place to store SURGE in his chest. He is the highlight
of my collection.
