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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Russian Anti-Aircraft Dunny

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.
