I'm the featured artist today for the Vinyl Thoughts 2 art show coming up in March! I had a little fun with my bio and did a "Do's & Don'ts" feature from Dynamite magazine.

You can see the whole thing HERE and learn more about what promises to be a great vinyl art show!

(Yes, that is really me rockin' it on a skateboard circa 1978, color Polaroid after the jump)

This is one of the custom toys I did for the Vinyl Thoughts Art Show happening tonight in Dallas.

The show has been getting some good local press and Tomopop actually did a nice interview with me.

I did a bit of kit bashing on this one. Its a MiniMunny body with a small Dunny head and assorted bits and pieces from model kits. I scupted the padding in the turret and the machine gun cowel on the front.
