BOING!

~

Things have certainly snowballed since my last post!  I never expected so much attention SO quickly!  

The previously mentioned blog feature on the HI Fructose blog was just featured on BOING BOING today!  I couldn't believe it when I saw it!

Also, as of yesterday, I'm officially going to be appearing at this year's Dragon*Con in Atlanta!!!
The lineup so far is as follows:
Attaboy!
Gris Grimly!
Jim Mahfood!
Tara McPherson!
Brandt Peters!
Kathie Olivas!
Annie Owens!
Derek Yaniger!
and - in his very first US appearance -
Doktor A!

So much greatness in one place, plus more stormtroopers than you can shake a Mynock at! It all goes down Labor Day weekend in September.  I'm already planning a slew of surprises, stay tuned!

On the customizing front, what was formerly a Benny and Redbird, is  now THIS:

Lots of other things going down, but my head is spinning, so that's enough for now!

thanks to everyone, yes EVERYONE!

I stumbled upon your stuff via boing boing.

Great stuff! I'm looking forward to seeing future work!

How do you create your sculptures? Do you just bake super sculpey? do you use foam latex?

THANK YOU!!

The sculptures are almost all sculpted with epoxy over foam or tinfoil. The interview on the HI Fructose blog has more details on the process.

Jeremy said...

Awesome! I read the article. Epoxy (aside from the nerve crippling toxins) sounds like a good idea!

I've been wanting to try my hand at sculpting some critters for some time now. I don't have the resources to use foam latex or bake sculpey since they require a stove you won't eat out of. (the wife would kill me if I muck up our kitchen one)... I guess I'm going epoxy shopping.

Thanks!
