Adolescent James Bond

Holy crap! A post that has absolutely nothing to do with custom vinyl toys!

This was a commission I recently completed. This guys son is completely obsessed with James Bond and he asked me to do a portrait of his son in a 007 movie poster style. I went with the look from "Dr. No".

11"x14" Ink on watercolor paper.

FYI- I'm currently taking commissions. If you're interested, you can find more info HERE.

Earthworm Jim Mega Munny

This is the last of the customs I did for the Vinyl Thoughts 2 art show. It's an Earthworm Jim Mega Munny. This thing is HUGE. It's at least 2 feet tall. It fought me the whole way, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I went through 4 bricks of Super Sculpey modifying this sucker.

Lego Mega Man Custom

This is the Mega Man Lego Torch I customized for the Vinyl Thoughts 2 art show. The Lego torch came with LEDs in the feet and I wired in a third LED for the arm canon. I also sculpted the helmet and added gels to give the lights a reddish glow.

This is currently available in my Manly Art Shop. You can check it out HERE.

Zork A Drive

This a Squid Kids Ink A Drive I customized for the Vinyl Thoughts 2 art show.

Zork was the first computer (not game console) game I ever played. A friend that lived across the street had a computer with a modem (the kind you plugged a telephone handset into) and access to the MIT BBS. I loved this game.

It is now available in the Manly Art Shop. You can check it out HERE.

Here's another piece I did for the Vinyl Thoughts 2 art show. This is a Squid Kids 10-Doh! that I installed the guts of a 1st gen iPhone into. It acts as an iPod and plays a custom video game animation I made in Flash.

I hope to see you at the show tonight!

LX Forums Tee Design

This is a t-shirt/poster design I did for LX Forums. They wanted something reminiscent of the Death Proof poster from Grindhouse. They'll have the shirts with them for the LX Spring Fest 7 in Irvine, CA. The featured car on the design is a Chrysler 300 SRT8.

The car is brush and ink, the rest is digital.

I just ordered some stickers tonight! I'll be handing these out at the Vinyl Thoughts 2 Art Show. If you want one, come to the show and say "Hi", 'cause thats the only way you're getting one. :)

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been swamped getting customs ready for the show and we aren't supposed to show them off before then. There are a few I did for Bean Pot Toys that I can share, but I'm waiting until we get closer to the show.
