Puzzle Description:

#1: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Apr 5, 2014

It's an old timey car viewed from the front.
#2: Jota (jota) on Apr 5, 2014
Electric chair?
#3: Heather (heatherkewl) on Apr 5, 2014
A Jelly fish bed?
We should name him Peanut Butter
#4: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Apr 5, 2014
I like Jota's guess best but I am not totally sure what it is let alone what to name it :)
#5: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Apr 5, 2014 [SPOILER]
Like Heather, I see a jellyfish; I'm not sure what he's doing - maybe playing with blocks? Or maybe he's playing maracas in a beach-side marimba band... Either way, I agree that Peanut Butter (or PB for short) is the perfect name!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

After Line Logic,

In r13 a maximum of one pixel in c3-4 can be black. That means that one of the 7s in c2 and c3 must go down into r20. If either does (and one MUST)then both c3r20 and c4r20 must be black.

The same happens with the two 7s on the other side making r20c18-19 black.

Then lotsa LL.

Then there's two ways to finish it:

-you can use the same method as above on c14-15 to make r14c14-15 black, or

-you can sum. (always a good choice with blot puzzles)

> There are three more pixels to be placed according to the across clues.
> There are three more pixels and a blob going down.
>> Thus the blot cannot be any longer and c8r14 must be white.

Then a tiny amount of LL to finish.

It could just be an Art Deco elevator floor-indicator. And Fred. You can call it Fred.
