R5-A3 (3A Armstrong/1977 MPC R2-D2 Mash-Up)

R5-A3 (3A Armstrong/1977 MPC R2-D2 Mash-Up), a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

This is R5-3A, my latest custom! I combined a 3A Armstrong with a 1977 MPC R2-D2 for this one. I made the blaster from scratch.

R5-A3 is a prototype battlefield Recconaissance Droid deployed with the 357th Star Corps. Equipped with a portable ion pulse canon, R5-A3 was very effective against the droid armies of the Separatists. Unfortunately, due to financial cuts, this droid was the only one produced.

If you are interested, this custom is up for auction on Ebay.
You can check out the listing HERE.

This was a (long overdue) commission for a fellow in Chicago. He wanted a sexy, but serious futuristic police woman. So, this is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

Cheetara Pin-Up, a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

Here are a couple of commissions from a recent convention. The first one is a pin-up of Cheetara from the Thundercats. The second is a scenario where Magneto uses his powers on Leia's slave girl metal bikini. Mildly NSFW, so it's after the jump...

The Empire's finest...
They couldn't hit the side of a bantha. But they sure look bad ass!

Miss October 1958- Mara Corday

Another ink test. I'm really liking the results I'm getting. This might just be something I'll stick with.

6"x12" Ink on watercolor paper.

Miss February 1958- Cheryl Kubert

Playing around with some different techniques. This all brush and ink. I've been giving Dr. Martins inks a spin and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Always ready to decompose for the camera and ever stunning as she shambled down the runway, Eva was a beauty queen of the undead.

This is a 8" Qee Cat I customized. I thought it would be fun to do since Halloween is right around the corner. I made the fez and tassel from scratch. I'm pretty happy with how it came out!

The Ghost of Smokey Joe

You can tell me I'm not wanted...
but the joint will still be haunted.
'Cause I'm the ghost of Smokey Joe!

I don't know if Cab Calloway ever did any Halloween concerts, but if he had, it would've been awesome. This poster is inspired by Cab's sequel to Minnie the Moocher. If you've never heard The Ghost of Smokey Joe, check it out. It's one of my favorite Halloween songs!

Available as a print at The Manly Art Shop. Just in time for Halloween!

Girls on Film

These are my pieces for the I Want My Music Video Art Show opening tonight at The Meltdown Gallery in Hollywood, CA. They are based on the videos for the unrated version of Duran Duran's Girls on Film and Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.

The two paintings I did for this show are the first ones I've actually painted all of the type and graphics. Normally I treat my pulp style pieces like a traditional assignment and do all the layout stuff digitally. I'm still figuring out how I feel about it.

There are some amazing artists in this show. I'm really not sure how I got mixed in with them. I have a feeling mine are going to be the crap pieces in the show. If you live in the LA area, I highly recommend going to check it out.
