Don't Panic Interview

2011-01-25T00:07:00.000Z

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever had to make?
We’ve done a few costumes for computer games launches, which are always a bit weird - girls in tiny pink hot pants and oversized armour with swords bigger than them. To be honest though, everything we make is a bit weird out of context, like when we take the number 8 bus to deliver a pair of wings or a cow head. We also have an order for a vagina kigurumi, which probably wins the weirdest kigurumi award. Finding the correct fleshy pink fleece for that is gonna be fun.

Nice. Do you get many orders for sexy kigurumis?
All kigurumis are sexy.

Quite. Where and why do people wear their kigurumis?
They seem to be pretty popular as festival and party wear, and we know a few people that like to ski or board in them! I think mostly people just like lounging about in them - the baggy shape makes them super comfortable. We wear them as regular clothes though, to the corner shop or the park. Sometimes, the world just feels better when you’re a raccoon.

Do you consider yourselves part of the furry fandom?
We don’t pretend to be the animals we’re wearing, if that’s what you mean - but each to their own, innit. Most of our heroes are furries though - the Thundercats, Captain Bucky O’Hare, the Biker Mice from Mars and the Ninja Turtles (technically scalies, I guess).

Check out their crazy costumes, and be a bear for the weekend over at www.diemortal.com

We were interviewed for Don't Panic magazine! It's online here.

If you’ve been out and about in London recently, you may well have noticed a niche but growing trend for dressing up as animals. A dinosaur charity fundraiser here, a cow on the tube there… It turns out this all has to do with something called kigurumi from - where else? - Japan. We caught up with London Kigurumi enthusiasts and creators, Die Mortal (Ceridwen Brown and Sofie Dodgson), who sidestepped the sexual aspect of the trend perfectly. Trendy and cool, not creepy and weird!

So, how did you get into kigurumi?
We got into kigurumi a couple of summers ago when a few of our friends wore them to Secret Garden Party festival. Then we started noticing them around on other nutbags. We love the Japanese imports but thought it’d be cool to make our own. So we knocked up a pattern and started making them for friends - which got the ball rolling.

From your blog, it looks like you make lots of stuff, not just kigurumi. How did you get into it? It must be a fun job!
Yeah, we run Die Mortal, a costume and props company making all sorts of stuff on commission for events, music videos, performers and individuals. We met working in the video game industry, but decided to jump ship to make monster costumes together. Working freelance on commissions, as well as the custom kigurumi business, means we get to mix things up a bit - we like doing a bit of metalwork and casting, as well as making fleece animal suits for lunatics! We’re having ridiculous amounts of fun!

What are your most popular kinds of kigurumi?
We actually made a really quick one out of our cut offs for a friend once and called it the ‘’. He’s become super popular! All the Lava Bears that we’ve made are different patterns and colours, so they’re all unique and becoming a bit of a mascot for us! The ring tailed lemur is also very popular, but we try to make every one unique though, to keep them all individual!

B Magazine

2010-11-16T01:05:00.001Z

More pics of the race here.

Goblin King Party

2010-11-05T10:37:00.000Z

Our lovely friend James Elphick from Guerilla Zoo invited us to come along to a Goblin Ball! The Tax Deductible boys went as monster hunters, in samurai style armour and big skull helmets we'd already made for another job, and we knocked together a Ludo costume out of a dressing gown, a mattress and an old manky rug and a Brian Froud style goblin for us. Still washing green out of the bed sheets...

Check out our topic on twitter and twitpic here for more photos and updates on the cows journey across London. Also check out Tax Deductible Theatre Company for more info about the guys in the cows themselves!

We'll be posting a more in depth blog about the making of the cows soon!

The DIE MORTAL Pawn Shop at Glastonbury 2010

2010-07-01T20:08:00.000+01:00

Thank you to everyone who came to the DIE MORTAL Pawn Shop & late night Dance Hall at Glastonbury this year! And thank you to Tax Deductible Theatre Company, the reprobates who populated our dingy hole!

Starting with lollipops, party poppers and a few masks, over the four days we started a trading chain with the punters that scored us a Rolex watch, a pancreas, and incredible amounts of booze!

We made it onto the BBC, scaring the shite out of the poor presenter! Here's the rip on youtube:

We also appeared in some Glastonbury Telegraph supplement, but didn't get a copy of the actual paper. Here's the linky.

Some picalics for your perusal!

Ceridwen attempts to swap a cardboard leek and a pancreas...

Signage:

The DIE MORTAL Room at Glastonbury 2010!

2010-05-26T22:43:00.000+01:00

The DIE MORTAL Room will be in the Shangri-La area of Glastonbury 2010! Supported by scallywags Tax Deductible Theatre Company.

Press Release
The DIE MORTAL Pawnshop is the Badland's trading post – a wretched hive of scum and villainy, populated by upgrade addicts, trench coats, human pimps and cyborg girls. 8-bit sound glitches and footage leaks from stacks of monitors. Festival-goers can peruse the mountains of stock, but to make a purchase they must exchange something of their own, starting a trading chain constantly added to by new punters.

...More fun than U2 anyway...

For the last week we've been working non-stop on a last minute brief to create four costumes and two weapons for the Monster Hunter Tri game preview yesterday. Here are some pics of the costumes, weapons and armour we pumped out in four and a half days! So many thanks to honorary MORTALS Kirsty for making the weapons, Chris for running numerous errands to the shops for glue-sticks and energy drinks, Emma for being the best Finnish Pocahontas, and George for helping immeasurably and for tidying the house after a week of chaos despite not sleeping for days either! We ☠ you all!

Some making shots! We look very, very tired...

This week's project is dedicated to Monster Khaos and Gluey Theroux.

Gluey's Death

Hello everyone! Sorry there hasn't been a post this week, we've been massively busy working for our first clients: BD, Capcom and Nintendo! Huge post coming soon...

Also, if you haven't yet, please join our facebook group here for updates and pics and general nonsense.

Sad news, another death in the family... the one and only Gluey Theroux passed away this week, we hope he is happy in glue gun heaven. Like the parents of whining children with a runover cat, we replaced him almost immediately with Glue Peter. RIP Gluey.

Today we made a unicorn, modelled by Shan Shan far too adorably. Gross. ☠☠☠☠
This entry is in honour of Roterry Wogan, R.I.P.

Making a delicious pink fleece soup and button hole love.

Muggins helps thread a needle and Ceridwen models the unicorn head, which at this point looks like an evil lamb...

We spent a lot of time perfecting the Stephen Fry kigu :)

Practice Badger

2010-03-18T17:19:00.001Z

We made our first custom kigurumi today, his name is Practice Badger and he went to the canal where he met a fox and some roadkill.

Some disco roadkill and an iguana-fox appeared.

Today's episode of the DIE MORTAL ROOM was brought to you by Roterry Wogan the Rotary Cutter.

More to come soon!

For Rufus's birthday we made him Tank Girl's Ludo style hat :).

Papier Mache cast and horns attached with fibre glass.

Demolishing a vintage fur coat and using lighter fluid to blend the fimo nose.

Blending of the fimo eyes and first fur attached to his muzzle.

All of the fur attached. Resident pessimist and ex BBC presenter Gluey Theroux *insisted* on his portrait being taken. Whine, whine, whine.

Carl the mink joins the gang. This is the most un-vegetarian friendly project ever. We are both vegetarians. Carl is *always* smoking. It's so bad for him. And the fimo teeth made the baking tray look like a Mario ghost.

Fibre glassing the teeth on. Best shadows ever on the way to the shop!

Painting the eyes... we always look this well behaved and focused. ARGHH HE HAS A FACE AND WE LOVE HIM. A little cameo from Glue Armstrong too :)

Never ever ever ever ever ever use a dremel on real horn. The worst smell ever... the neighbours came round to make sure we weren't burning to death. When we all die of some sort of lung problem we will blame Rufus for drawing a hole in the horn. Then we attached ACCESSORIES and gave him some hairspray and a little shave.

Us trying him on for size :) :)

Awww, here is Rufus and his birthday present! And then we went on Chat Roulette!

Skip and Sofie model le chapeau de bete.

Rufus and Ceridwen model him too :)

Hooray for hats and birthdays and the DIE MORTAL ROOM!
