Mr. Peanut and Alejandro Almond

While working at LAIKA House, I worked on a new stop-motion animated series of commercials for Planter's Peanuts. This is the latest commercial from the campaign, which introduces the newest nut, Alejandro Almond.



I made the stone mold for Alejandro and the silicone molds for the giant Beetle. I also made the armature for the beetle using brass tubing, steel nuts and a combination of steel and aluminum wires.

  1. WOW! FABULOUS work! I love the commercial. I worked in advertising for over 20 years, and I am also an artist, so I REALLY appreciate what goes into all of this!!

  2. That has to be the coolest thing I've seen in a while! I agree with the comment above me, it's fabulous.

    I have no clue what goes into advertisements or anything involved in commercial making, but I'm sure it's hard work. Keep it up, you do a very good job at it.
