I've been busy making stuff and I've neglected the ol' blog. Here's a little roundup of the stuff I've been working on.
Custom Mini-Skullbrain from Secret Base. This one is a mix of spraypaint, airbrush work, and hand-painting. Once completed, this little guy got doused in acrylic clear and looks great in sunlight.
City of Cosmic Travelers is a custom Mini-Munny with a cratered head and a tiny bubble city on top. For his body, I gave him an aged metal finish, covered it with Kandy blue, and then gave it a nice, even clear. This one went to a great KR boardie who has been very supportive of my work since I started posting there.
8" GID AsteroiDunny: RED MARS Version: This one went out to an awesome customer in Canada. As much as I love the little ones, the larger Dunny allows more of the detail in the sculpt to show through. I had a great time with this one.
Hedorah from Bandai: I found this cheap Hedorah at Toys R Us a while back. I've been wanting to get more into painting monsters and this was a great place to start. I went with a mix of Montana spraypaint, airbrush (for the trans aqua), and handpainting for the highlights and eyes.
OK, these are latest chunks of irradiated space debris I've been dealing with.
Like the previous AsteroiDunny run, the RED MARS ones are 3" tall and glow in the dark. This time around, I was able to make an edition size of 9. I took these with me down to Pasadena for VTN and managed to unload most of them. The rest went to some awesome boardies on the Kidrobot forum.
Next time around, I'm going to have to do a larger edition size. That means back to the "Dunny Factory" for me.
This was my entry in the 2008 Delicious Drips ME Mad*L show back in November. His name's T.W.E.R.P. and he brought home 3rd place in the contest.
T.W.E.R.P. is what happens when you put a Thingamakit from Bleep Labs into an awesome DIY vinyl toy. A lot of work went into making this guy and I'm really happy with the result.
Big thanks to everybody involved in making this piece really special to me; Dr. Bleep, D-li$h, and the folks at D-Structure.
T.W.E.R.P. is now part of a private collection and I don't think he could've found a better home.
This is the mysterious AsteroiDunny. The sample pictured here is an 8" version I made as a commission for a Kidrobot forum member.
Before that, I'd made a run of three 3" AsteroiDunnies that sold way faster than I expected. Thanks to the folks that bought 'em, your support is appreciated.
Here's what it looks like with the lights on:
This is the Thingamakit from Bleep Labs. It's a small DIY analog synthesizer.
The kit contains all the parts needed to assemble a wonderful little gizmo that's great for making all kinds of awesome electronic noises. The 1/4" output allows you to hook it up to effect pedals and amplifiers. I like using my Boss/Roland RE-20 Space Echo and a SubDecay NoiseBox for some serious noise madness.
After soldering up the kit, I gave the enclosure a custom paint job.
I'd also like to add that the folks at Bleep Labs are totally awesome. They are truly dedicated to the DIY scene and very helpful people. Thanks again Dr. Bleep.
Back in August, I finished up this little guy. His name's PAL and he wants to be your buddy.
This one is a pretty basic design and I was experimenting with different methods of creating the "static" on the TV screen. I think it came out pretty nice.
Ok...I've been way too lazy about keeping up this blog, but now I think I've got some stuff to post about so get ready. Lots of stuff has happened since the last post so stay tuned...we'll have more shortly.
For now, check out this super-sweet Eames Lounge Chair from the Design Interior Collection Vol. 2. Master Chief seems to think it's pretty cool.
