THUMBTACK PRESS!

A great resource for purchasing quality prints from your favorite artist: Thumbtack Press I've been working with TP for a couple years now. Their website has been revamped, and they have some new artist. Here a link to my page.

I'M BACK!

Well it's been a while since my last post. We took a family trip to the Galapagos Islands it transcended amazing. Seeing relatively untouched nature so up close and personal. Here's a nice pic I got of a Marine Iguana. He had just swam up to the beach and climbed up just a couple of feet from me.



Then it was back to work at Nickelodeon working away on Robot & Monster. Next summer I believe the first promos for the show will start airing. I can’t wait! At that time I think I'll be able to show some of the incredible work that is going into the show.

I have a couple of new fabrication / sculpture projects in the near future that I will make sure to document. in the meantime thanks for putting up with pauses between postings,
I’ll always come back!

I'LL BE TWEETING YOU!

At SDCC I'll be sending out Tweets just before my signings and such. If you're not following me yet now's the best time ever: Follow Me! See ya there!

Love Conquers All!

I have a new painting in the Love Conquers All show at Think Space GalleryAugust 7th through the 28th. 20% of the proceeds of the show will be donated to Equality California



My piece is titled "True Love" Acrylic on wood. Painted on a 9"X12" wooden box frame. I love these, making or finding the right frame has always been trouble for me, this way it's out of the equation. I won't be attending the opening, but there will be many other cool artists showing. Enjoy!

SDCC 2010!

All right, I finally have my Comic-Con appearance schedule. For all of you that will be there next weekend I hope to see you. Sat the 24th I’ll be at the Munky King booth #4539 @ 4 pm signing the new OMI custom mask.

OMI!

Munky King has created a new blind box sensation the Omi. Inspired by Asian Opera masks the Omi will have an artists series release as well as a DIY version. I had the pleasure of sculpting the mask as well as being a part of the Series 1 collection.




I'll be at Comic-Con Sat the 24th 4pm at the Munky King Booth #4539 I'll be posting a couple more SDCC happenings in the next couple days.

MISTER FAST FOODFIGURE FIRST STEP!

The first thing is to take the design and make a rough sketch of the pose and get an idea of the size. I want the finished sculpt to be roughly 6 to 7 inches tall at it's highest point. The hamburger should end up being a bit higher then the head for a more grand animated pose. I traced over the smaller image in the top of the comic page, since it was partially cropped I just guessed the missing parts. I think it will look nice if the cape sweeps around behind him.



With this pic I'll take some of the real features from the Randy face and incorporate them into the caricature. Most times for me it's better not to over sketch and work details out in the sculpt. Next we start slinging some clay!
