Wow! It's been a while. I've been a little busy...

 

Here's one of my pieces for Suburban Vinyl's Blood Type Positive+ show happening this weekend. Each piece in the show is based on Nemo's droplet figure. Mine is Derpy the Hutt. There is also a hologram version.

Clone X Warrior...

The madness that is San Diego Comic-Con kicks into full swing this week. Although I won't be there in person, one of my custom toys will be! Swing by Beefy & Co. at booth #5646 and check out the awesome Ghost Tribe X Warrior customs and other goodies they have on display!

Also, if you do swing by, take a pic and let me know. It would be cool to see my custom in the wild. :)

Star Wars Kitty Wave 2

New wave of Hello Kitty Star Wars customs! Get while they're hot! If you order today, there's a good chance you'll get them before Christmas! (if you're in the continental US, that is)

Choco Chewbacca

Don't be fooled! He may look cute, but he's a sore loser and might rip your arms out of their sockets if you don't let the Choco win.

This is an 8" Custom Toy2R/David Horvath Choco with a scratch-built crossbow.

Space Kook

It's the Space Kook from Scooby Doo! This is one of my pieces for the Vinyl Thoughts 3 show coming up on Thursday, September 13. There are a lot of top-notch artists in this show, so if you're in the Dallas area, you'll want to be there.

Custom 7" Munny with plastic visor and 4" Munny head inside.

PacMan All-Star Rejects Sneak Peek

The Urban Vinyl Daily "Blow Me" online toy show opens tomorrow (September 8, 2012)! It's a show anyone can attend if they have an internet connection. Judging by the artist line-up, it should be a great show. So go check it out Saturday September 8th at 3pm EST! The toys will be available here: urbanvinyldaily.storenvy.com/

This is a sneak peek of two of my pieces for the show. They're ghosts that didn't quite make the cut for the PacMan game.

Hammerhead ArqSpin

Here's an interactive spin animation of one of my customs. I really like the ArqBall platform. My only gripe is that the image quality isn't a little better. That could be due to the fact that I was shooting this on my iPhone. An iPad might do better.

P1 Hammerhead

I've sent digital Preview Cards to various toy blogs of pieces from my upcoming show at Kidrobot New York. As they show up on said blogs (or I get tired of waiting), I'll post them here for you to check out. This one appeared on Toycutter.

Admiral Ackbar Foomi

Your eyes can't repel cuteness of this magnitude!!

General Loh Munny

7sixty contacted myself and two other artists to create custom Munny's of a few of their characters from their soon-to-be-released Xbox 360 game Kung Fu Strike. I believe they were debuted last weekend at Anime Matsuri in Houston. This is the main ass-kicker in the game, General Loh.

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.

Droid Quest Custom 10-Doh!

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!

The guys running the VT2 custom toy show encouraged the artists to come up with poster designs for the show. This is mine. I might do another if I have time.

It should be a great show. You can find out more here:

C-3PO Custom Munny

This is my latest custom Munny. He has light up eyes and is ready to help you with etiquette and protocol! The eyes are triggered by a motion sensor in his mouth and he runs on 2 AA batteries.

He will be going on sale at Tenacious Toys this weekend!

Chewie, Pierre... Meet Chewie and Pierre!

Chewie, Pierre... Meet Chewie and Pierre!, a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

Lisa and I decided to keep our store bought presents to a minimum, so we ended up making a lot of our gifts this past Christmas. This was my main gift to my wife. I customized two Kid Robot Foomi's to look like our guinea pigs, Chewie (brown and black) & Pierre (gray and white). She loved them. The boys seem to approve of their likenesses.

Han and Chewie

This was my entry in the "Show Me The Munny 2" vinyl toy art show hosted by Atama. They were done on a Mini Munny and a Munny. Painted with acrylic paint.

R5-A3 Packaging

The horse was still moving, so I thought I'd beat it a little more.
This is final packing I modified for my R5-A3 Armstrong custom.

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