About the Column
The real action in Vinylmation these days is creating your own. Disney sells blank Vinylmations for you to craft into virtually anyone or anything. Thousands of these custom creations exist. Some are, well, it's best not to say what they are, but many are outstanding: often as good as what you can buy from Disney. We're rounding up the best custom Vinylmations and presenting them here, three times each week, with a word or two of commentary from their designers.

The Grinch
Today's Vinylmation custom is red, green, and really mean

The Grinch
The Grinch in Snow
So shoot me: Christmas is over.
And yet here's the Grinch, the very first custom Vinylmation featured in this column, when really I should have chosen Cupid or maybe Eros.
But the Grinch is wearing red, the color of love, and his skin is green, the color of jealousy. Absent a Hallmark card, that's pretty much your Valentine's day right there.
Forget about the holidays. Look at this Grinch.
Those eyes just burn with evil, don't they?
I'd say this Grinch is meaner than the real Grinch, and I doubt any teary-eyed Cindy Lou Who will engorge his heart with love.
Harrison, the creator, says this about his work:
While 'The Grinch' is certainly a favorite holiday movie of mine (along with 'Home Alone', which coincidentally also includes clips of 'The Grinch'), I actually was inspired to create this custom due to my one and four year old nieces' obsession over the movie. Thanks to those two goobers, I had "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" playing in my head throughout the entire holiday season. I got the urge to paint a new costume and that was the first thing that popped in my mind at the time so I rolled with it.
Come back on Thursday for another Vinylmation My Way custom. And I promise it'll be a Disney - though not a Disney character!
