Party time!

Spaces!!!

I moved into my studio! The space is still in progress. I have some more shelves to put up and stuff to hang on the walls. But check out this sweet work bench I made: Big ups to ben for convincing me to build the table legs instead of coping out and just buying 2 saw horses.

Downright!

I am in this show coming up! The reception is on October 5th. There are alot of really great people in it, in fact i would say that it is garunteed to be ausome.

Everything is still hazy...

Workspace/ shit i'm working on
I'm excited to move out of my kitchen and into the gowanus studios next month! Check out thier website. I'm really excited to be a part of thier organization. Plus i think i belong on the gowanus canal.

I'm finally starting to feel caught up on life, and overwhelmed by it at the same time. I still have to get going on the cake toppers for my bff's wedding.....

Summer is over

The month of august was nuts for me... I worked comic con! Then i went to LA! Then i went on art-cation at the Race Point Summer Artist Colony/Residency. Then I spent the rest of the month catching up on work and life.
Race point was in Maine near Lubec, right on Cobscock Bay. There was no running water or electricity. We listened to alot of canadian radio, which turned me on to space elevators. Seriously, elevators to space. Its gonna happen. I made this painting there. Its not really finished. We also did alot of silly collabortive drawings.

You can check out more pictures on my flickr page!
There are also pics from Comic Con, LA and flowers at the getty. ...and dumb shit like this:
Be warned, some of the pictures from race point contain nudity (but not of me!).

COMIC CON

In a couple of hours i'll be getting on a plane to San Diego with my fellow kidrobots to attend comic con! I'll be at booth 4629 most of the time. ALSO I will be photo blogging on the brand new Kidrobot Flickr page. You can follow my comic con follies here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kidrobotrules/

Check it!

Check out these shoes i just finished.
I photographed them on a pile of bait under one of the marsh bridges near my parents house. I got a couple mosquito bites.

Physalius and his Magical Gill Ship

So this is what i've been doing the past 2 weeks. I am the master of the 4:30 am.
Anyway i finally finished it today! I was asked to try my hand at Kidrobot's new Mini Munny Mobile and here it is.

Physalius and his Magical Gill Ship

Physalius (named after the portuguese man-o-war...totally bad ass), cruises around the ocean floor looking for treasure and pearls. He's a cold blooded killer who would do anything for spanish gold, so hide your shiney things.

Here's some more pictures:

Physalius is available for purchase. Please email me if interested.

Mini Munny Mobile! in progress!

This is what i've been working on this week! Kidrobot's new Mini Munny Mobile!
Some in progress shots:

Pre-sanding Post sanding One of the accessories this munny kit comes with is a bubble dome. Unfortuatly i've discovered the fins i built on the munny are too big to fit the dome on. So tonite i have a date with a dremel and i'm going to sink the floor of the car.

New Painting!

I just finished this painting for a charity postcard project, 24Cents.
The goal of the project, called 24Cents, is to provide a venue for artists and designers to use their talent as a positive social tool, raising awareness about a relevant issue while maintaining a strong sense of personal style and voice. The project will benefit Urban Word NYC.

The Debatable Beasts in Sweden

I was interviewed for an article in the swedish newspaper, Expressen. They used a picture of my Little Zerster munny. Its pretty cool but i can't read it! I think they wrote a whole 2 paragraphs on me. You can check it out here

The Showroom and NYCC

This past weekend was New York Comic Con. It was super fun, I met some new people and saw a bunch of toy people and artists. We got to paint on the wall of the showroom. This was one of the first time i did 'live painting'. I felt a little rushed and worried that i had too much beer already, but i'm happy with how it came out. I think i'm going to bring back the skelecore.
