ORIGINAL ANGRY CLOBBER MONKEY ART!

The Angry Clobber Monkey is out and he is (Hate to use such a cliché phrase) selling like hot cakes! Thanks to all the ACM supporters who are making this such a successful art toy! When I was developing the packaging art I did many sketches trying to illustrate a narrative about Doctor Maker and the ACM before I came up with the final versions that appear on the box. My process is to sketch up in blue pencil, tighten up the ones I like in graphite, then finish with ink.





After the packaging was finalized I have a folder full of development art that all work pretty well as stand alone pieces. So I’m selling the collection as individual pieces in nice frames. They vary in size, 8X10 11X17 8X12 all original pen & ink signed, each one of a kind. Here’s a sample 11X17 the larger ones will go for $250 smaller ones $150 Such a deal! Great for the holiday giving season. I’ll have all available pieces up here on the blog by next week. If you are interested contact me through my website.
There’s a limited number of pieces, I’m still sorting through them to get a final count.
So scoop them up while you can!

DESIGNERCON 2009!

Designercon- Formerly known as the Vinyl Toy Network is coming up Saturday November 21st. I will be there signing my Angry Clobber Monkey vinyl collectable, (A.K.A. Toy) and If the planets all align the Clobber Babe will be making an appearance! Looks like another fun-fest for all of us toy nerds!

ALL KINDS OF FUN STUFF COMING UP!

Oh man Halloween is over! I wanted to buy some candy corn, went to the local CVS and there’s santa clause already sneering at me. Threatening holiday cheer. Eventually I found my candy corn. It’s the crappiest candy in the kingdom but one of my favorites. Candy corn is like the fruitcake of Halloween. I love fruitcake too, it gets a bad wrap for no reason, it condensed brandied fruit and nuts, balled up in a spicy cake, all things I love.

I’m getting ready for the Rotofugi Angry Clobber Monkey signing in Chicago Nov 28th. Currently I’m working on a brand new ACM poster to unveil at the signing. Also here in Los Angeles I know that Dark Delicacies Book store in Burbank hosts a signing for local artists who’s work is appearing in the Spectrum book series. I’ll have info on that when it is announced. In past issues I’ve only had work in the sculpture category. This time, for the first time I have an illustration too. I’m very excited. The piece is “The Bearer Of Bad News” it was created for my Imaginary Skies show at M Modern Gallery. The painting was sold but there are nice prints through Thumbtack Press. They do high quality prints of all your favorite artists, including me. I want to encourage everyone to purchase prints from them, bring them to my events and I’ll gladly sign them! The prints they have available are paintings of mine that have been sold long ago. Also if you have a copy of the new Spectrum 16 bring it along.



Looking forward to seeing all my peeps in the Mid-West again! Also if you have an extra fruitcake lying around....

THE ANGRY CLOBBER MONKEY COMES TO CHICAGO!

I've just confirmed that we will have an ACM signing at Rotofugi Nov 28th. This is exciting for me, this will be my first event in my hometown. We are still figuring out the time and other details.
Look forward to seeing my Chicago people in November!

SPECTRUM 16!

Are you familiar with the Spectrum Contemporary Fantastic Art books? I have some art that was accepted into the 16th edition. It should be out this month. I'm always happy to be along side such amazing talent. There's usually a local signing here in Los Angeles. More info as it comes in!

MORE ANGRY CLOBBER MONKEY PICS!

The ACM release party was nuts! The Clobber Babe was strutting her stuff and bashed anyone who pushed her buttons. The lovely Kimberley Torres played the part well, and made the costume look great. I say the Clobber Babe was my most sexy and rediculous creation thus far.



Done in by my own creation.
