YHWH RELEASE!

I just got a link from Ronnie Pirovino from The Art Collectors for the Mark Ryden's YHWH Pre-Order from Porterhouse Fine Art Editions.
I still haven't had the chance to see one of these in person yet, I can't wait!

LOOK WHAT I GOTS!

The very first Angry Clobber Monkey figures have arrived! Here in the back of my car these are just a few that I am customizing for Comic Con San Diego. It is reassuring that they are finally on there way! I'll have some pics of the customs as the are done!

THE RIVET GALLERY!

Had a great time at the Rivet Gallery last weekend. Laura and Scott were fantastic hosts, and the gallery space is amazing. I met a slew of talented local artists, Columbus Ohio has a thriving arts culture in the Short North district. Every first weekend of the the month there’s a arts festival. The crowd was thick and partied late into the night. Not me though, I'm old and went to bed early. Although I had a great surprise visit from my Mom & her husband Jeff, who drove 6 hours from Chicago just to see my little show.


Me and Laura! Pretend my eyes are open.

Me an' Scott!

If you are in the Columbus area, or just in the midwest it’s worth the trip! Also check the art that is still available from the show, and they have an amazing show coming up next month! I will be returning! Thanks again to the whole Rivet Gallery crew!

ANOTHER SECRET PROJECT REVEALED!

So it always seems I have several secret projects up my sleeve at any given moment.
Waiting for the right time to reveal them is always tricky, or sometimes I just have to wait until the press release hits the news:


Nickelodeon Greenlights Two Animated Comedy Series,
Planet Sheen and T.U.F.F. Puppy

Plus, Network Picks Up Three Pilots, The Fleeps, Robot & Monster: Best Friends Forever and You’re a Bad Man, Mr. Gum

“Nickelodeon’s newly ordered pilots will be overseen by Birkner Rawlings, who has just been promoted to Vice President, Animation Development, for Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. They include Robot & Monster: Best Friends Forever, a buddy comedy featuring a relentlessly ambitious robot and a pathologically positive monster. The project was created by Dave Pressler (Los Luchadores!), Jeffrey Ventimilia (That ‘70s Show), Joshua Sternin (That ‘70s Show) and will be directed by feature animation veteran Sam Levine.”

To read the whole release check out this link: Toon Zone News

For the last year or so I’ve been having a great time working with Nickelodeon, Birk (And The whole team), Josh & Jeff and most recently Sam developing my little guys Robot & Monster into a very funny animated comedy. It’s going to be a very busy summer working on the pilot, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it! I’ll have more reports as they come along.

RESIN ROBOTS! RIVET GALLERY!

Gettin' ready to head off to Columbus Ohio for "The Study" at Rivet Gallery.
See you there this Sat!

PUNCH BOT AT RIVET GALLERY!

With the Rivet Gallery show fast approaching a advanced peek of one of the original sculpts would be in order. The “Punch Bot” will be there. A mixed bag of Super Sculpey, styrene and Balsa foam brings this robot into 3D. I wanted the look to be in the spirit of the boardwalk arcade attractions. Twenty five cents and let the beating begin. This is a one off original sculpture. I’ll also have some limited edition resin. If you won’t be in the Columbus Ohio area and are interested in purchasing one of the pieces you can contact Laura @
Rivet Gallery.

NEW WORK COMING UP!

Sometimes it's difficult to be working on new art, and documenting simultaneously.
Currently I've been working on some new stuff for the group show "The Study" at Rivet Gallery in Columbus Ohio. I'm looking for ward to being there for the opening Sat June 6th. The Mid west is great in the Summer! I will have some paintings as well as limited edition resin creations. An Automated Pirate, as well as "THE LAST" Robot Gangster Mouse.
Also the one off sculpture "Punch Bot" I'll be posting sneak peek pics here tonight.
The long awaited Angry Clobber Monkey is coming along nicely, but still a bit of a wait. The factory is doing a wonderful job, and it will be arriving in the USA the first week of July. We were really expecting a late May release, I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut until they are actually here. Although at the Rivet Gallery show I will have an actual Angry Clobber Monkey vinyl toy on display!!! Not for sale, but for show and tell.
This is not a Prototype! But an actual factory sample of the finished product.
YAY!
