Evil Dead: The Musical art show

I was invited to be a part of this art show during the opening night of Evil Dead: The Musical at Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre Art Space 100 E. McDowell Rd. June 12th @6:30PM. The art event is FREE to the public and does not include entry to the Evil Dead: The Musical show.

I'm not sure what all I will have out at the event as a lot of my stuff was sold at Phoenix Comicon. I have some single buttons left, but all button packs are sold out. I hope to make some more jewelry and have some of my new T-shirts done in time for the show. If you're in AZ be sure to come check this out.

Zombie Slugs: From Planet 13 resin figures

My first resin figure entitled Zombie Slugs: from planet 13 was available this past weekend at Phoenix Comicon. The first picture is of my original sculpt using Super Sculpey, my preferred sculpting medium. I tried using 2 different casting materials/methods. A brush on mold using some cheap Cast n Crafts latex brand which yielded a figure with less bubbles, but more distorted and messy. The second was a 1 part mold using Tap Plastics Silicone mold, it yielded more bubbles bit with a bit of sanding a much cleaner figure. You can see the varied results in the second pic.

The figures stand in at just over 3" and come bagged with header cards(as seen) for $15 plus shipping. I still have some available if interested. SpankyStokes posted a review with a pic of my first test paint. I'll post some updates on the message boards so if you want one act fast. However if you do miss out I'm working with a couple companies to release other color exclusives. Stay tuned for details on that.

Introducting the Incandescent Bros. custom Dunnys

I found some old small light bulbs in the garage and this little idea just clicked in my head, like a light going off. Not much to these guys, a simple dry brush copper and rivet effect to go with the old light bulbs. I decided to name them Swan and Edison after the two most notable creators of the Incandescent light bulb. They will be available for sale this Friday in Mesa, AZ at my table for the 2nd Friday downtown event.

ArtSpace Steampunk Show

Back in February I had the opportunity to have some of my stuff on display at ArtSpace in Scottsdale, AZ. ArtSpace is a huge art gallery in the heart of the art district of Scottsdale. I was honored to have been asked to be a part of their Steampunk Show with some other awesome Steampunk influenced artists.

1:1 scale cardboard Bramble

A little behind on the blogging, but here's the 1:1 scale cardboard Bramble I did last month. Spent over a month working on this. From scaling up a WWRp Bramble and making up a blueprint of sorts to measuring and cutting cardboard. The final finish was done with a paper mache effect to give it more strength. You can see some WIP pics on my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/36645617@N03/sets/72157623689167710/ or over on the Custom Toy Union message boards http://customtoyunion.com/04-12-gun-added-1-1-scale-cradboard-bramble-t796.html

Canada Kubcar Kit project

Several months ago I was asked by a friend on the October Toys forums to customize a Kubkar(Canadian), these are the wood car kits for the Scouts in America known as the Pinewood Derby. He's a Cub Scout leader and is putting on a show for the scouts and asked some artists to participate. He provided 2 kits and even sent along some kinder eggs(yummy) all out of his pocket.

Everything I used either came in the kit or was everyday common household items(cardboard, duct tape, pen caps, pill bottle, wire, and an aluminum can). I had fun working on this and can't wait to see pics from the show.
