A gift for Rebel 8

Dressed to impress, this character named Ibue, is sculpted out of clay and painted with acrylic. Being a fan of Mike Giant, I was immediately drawn to Rebel 8.

I created this figure a few years ago before mailing it out last week. I hope the guys at Rebel 8 dig it.

Skinner & Hal

I made these 2 buddies for Skinner and Hal. Each figure was sculpted out of a block of clay and painted with acrylic paint. When I met them, I knew I had to make them into figures. Skinner; his artwork is so bad-ass, its like taking my brain into a portal and seeing the different chambers of mythical chaos. I love it. Skinner is a inspiration and all around great guy and good friend. And his buddy, Hal always smiling when I saw him and that made me smile, so I can tell he is good folks.

Vinyl Record Cover

Being able to work on this project was a dream come true. Qbert, being one of my biggest inspirations, asked me to make a skratchy seal robot for a upcoming record cover. I was honored to be given this oppurtunity.

Alex Pardee as the Ice Wizard

Based on this photo of Alex in his Halloween costume, I fully sculpted this piece for him to give my respect to such an amazing artist and awesome guy. He is a huge inspiration to me.

Kaiju Bazaar - Mark Nagata

From the start of my first custom on Mark Nagata's toy, Tripus, I knew I wanted to do another custom using his figures. This time, I worked on an Eyezon, split the figure into two in my usual fashion and these are the results:

Last night was the opening of Kaiju Bazaar, curated by Mark Nagata and hosted by Double Punch. Here are a few pictures from the opening night:

Mark talked about the little gifts that were presented to him. I was surprised and humbled by the coverage he gave to my toys. I'm relieved and happy that he enjoy them.
