keeping busy

I haven't been such a diligent blogger in the past month due to the amount of work I've been trying to get done for my solo show with TrickGo Clothing, which will be on December 11th.

I hand cut and painted these letters to make a customized sign for the window of the gallery at 12th and Pine. Below are some pieces I will have for sale at the opening.

This little guy below is a new diy munny I will be painting. The purple is just the base coat.

This is the t shirt design that I did for the show, which will be printed on v neck american apparel shirts in the same warm grey color as the background.

I will post the official flyer for the show when it's ready.

Custom Yoka for D-Con

Here's my finished YOKA custom for Designer Con. He needs a name, any ideas? The coloring pattern was based on my gf's Boston Terrier. I am extremely humbled to be a part of this show, from what i hear there will be 300 artists involved. Thanks to DKE Toys and Dylan Evans for giving me this opportunity.

Lil' G custom boombox contest

This was my submission for the Lil G custom boombox contest over at SpankyStokes.com. The Lil' G is a vinyl boombox shaped mp3 player. It's set to be released next year, but the creator made a few resin models. The minute I saw this I got the idea to make it into an AT-AT from Empire Strikes Back. Since it's not out yet, I haven't had a chance to make it a reality, but I got to play w/ the template in Illustrator. I also got a chance to play a little bit with Live Trace, which went very well. Here's what a blank Lil' G would look like.

design a custom boombox contest

I thought this might be something fun for us artists to do if we have the time. Artist Jasin Dollin has created a cool boombox that he is looking for people to customize. templates available at this link and he is also giving one away too.

Misfits Tubby & Couch Slouch Qee

I've been working on a bunch of toys lately, and haven't had a chance to post them, here's what I've been working on for the past month or so,,,
This was originally a vinyl toy of Tubby from the Little Lulu comic. I got a few of these and decided to paint it up in a style of Bounty Hunter, hence the logo on the back. It was mainly influenced by the Misfits fashion sense.
This started out as a blank Pigee Qee, and I turned it into a sad lazy balding dudes who I call "Couch Slouch" (after the DRI song). He's so depressed he just sits around the house watching TV in his underwear and flippy floppies. Poor guy... I painted it pink first, then gave it some light sprays of ivory to lighten him up in spots.

Noodlez

This is my custom toy for the Nosego toy release show at Jinxed. The show was great and the new location for the Jinxed store is simply amazing at the Piazza. I really enjoyed making this custom toy so much in fact that I had to give him a name and share him. He is "Noodlez" and in case you were wondering he is the man.

Custom Toy Show this First Friday!

Hey guys! I will have a piece in this show, along with a few other artists, and the star of the show (fellow ASOP member) Nose G! I've been itching to paint his custom toy for awhile, and I am excited to see what other people have done. Below is my entry for the show. Front and back view.

Hey guys!

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here! I felt a need to post because I've been working on my new illustration website for the past week and it is finally finished! Take a look here if you like. Anyway I just graduated from uarts in philly with a BFA in illustration, and for now I am waitressing and painting for fun, until i get real jobs! Here's some samples of my work! Keep up the good work everyone.

Along with doing work that could be categorized as editorial, I also enjoy painting and making custom toys!

Mallows @ SDCC

I was recently asked to do some customs on this new platform toy by Shocker Toys called Mallows. These 2 designs will be on display at the Shocker Toys booth (#3849) @ San Diego Comic Con, and at an after party hosted by Shocker. The figure is made from plastic, not vinyl, but has 10 points of articulation. It's pretty cool, hope to see some good things coming from it. The zombie looking one is called "Hipster Holocaust," and was mainly done in spray paint, with some detail drown in w/ markers. The tattooed one is named "Just Say No," and all the details were drawn in w/ markers. I wanted to texture on him to resemble old flash sheets at a tattoo shop.
I also designed/illustrated this logo to be used on a custom toy set for October Toys only available at SDCC. This will be on the chase figure, and the button set. You can pick up your Evil Gwin @ the October Toys booth (#4838).
