Constructing Reconstructing Misfortune (Part 3/3)
The making-of concludes! Part one is here.
With all the painting done, the final parts were readied for assembly. Then it was time to break out the needle nose pliers and superglue!
The eye were painted from behind to give them a more realistic cat-like dome eye effect. The blood effect on the sword was created by … Continue reading

Constructing Reconstructing Misfortune (Part 2/3)
The making-of continues in Part two! Part one is here.
Time for some bling! A few small holes were drilled into the figure around the ankles and wrist to allow chain, wire and accessories to connect securely and seamlessly. At this point I assembled all of my metal pieces for placement and fitting. This was all … Continue reading

Constructing Reconstructing Misfortune (Part 1/3)
I often get requests to do some behind the scenes ‘making-of’ posts like I did for Milo & Ditch or the Android figures. They’re fun to do, and I managed to document the process of this particular project pretty well, so here we go again for my custom of Ferg’s Misfortune Cat for the recent … Continue reading

Roy, come and get this goddamn cat.
I’m not usually one for meme / internet news and/or historical based illustrations, but this story on Boing Boing of a cat + an airship + a technological milestone was too much for me to ignore! Still a “work in progress” and I’m not sure if I’ll do anything with the image, it was mostly … Continue reading

the color of tragedy
Hello everyone! I’ve been a little busy lately on things like the Android toy, but other fun things are still getting done! Here’s a quick teaser from a certain kind of book, due out later this year…

Print in Progress 2…
While you can pretty much get the idea of it here, I’ll be posting the final images and info in a few hours…
Checking the transparency film over a partial print to make sure things are all there and positioned correctly.
The final burnt black-line screen.
Shiny shiny black enamel drying on the rack.
Blue edition racked.
This was one … Continue reading

New print in progress…
Two weeks ago I took a trip down to the print shop to check in on a new print edition I’ve been working on. Here are a few shots of the work in progress, more photos and edition information tomorrow!
These guys are actually finely-tuned printing robots, there is no other explanation for their speed and … Continue reading

Three Strikes (Part 3/3)
(Part 2 can be found here)
Masking time! Here I’ve cut a small heart shape into an adhesive vinyl frisket. I protected the surrounding area and sprayed a few light coats.
Removing the mask is always a harrowing experience because some paints do not play nicely together and your paint job can be ruined. Luckily this … Continue reading

Three Strikes (Part 2/3)
(Part 1 can be found here)
Work continued on the heart accessory as eyes and valves were sculpted out of resin directly onto the piece. Once set up and sanded down it was hit with a coat of primer, followed by a base coat of red. A darker red was lightly sprayed below the “mouth”.
The heart … Continue reading

Three Strikes (Part 1/3)
People told me that they enjoyed my behind-the-scenes of Milo And Ditch earlier this year, so I thought I’d do a little one for my Munnyworld figure. This isn’t quite as involved, but still fun to share the work. Munnyworld opens this Thursday and runs through the 15th.
We start out with a big ole blank … Continue reading

Milo and Ditch (part 3/3)
This is part 3 of the work in progress of Milo and Ditch, part 1 is here and part 2 is here!
Ditch’s solid airbrushed base coat gets a clear coat to seal it up. This protects the base blue from my inevitable clumsy handling and paint splattering, mistakes can be wiped up without ruining the … Continue reading

Milo and Ditch (part 2/3)
This is part 2 of the work in progress of Milo and Ditch, part 1 is here!
I moved over to Illustrator to mock up some of the more detailed areas. I did some research on incredibly colorful poison dart frogs to help inspire a back design for Ditch.
Getting to actual work, a “mouth” was … Continue reading

Milo and Ditch (part 1/3)
A few months back, MINDstyle and Disney teamed up to launch Experiment 626, an international tour of customized Stitch vinyl figures from a wide variety of artists. Due to my schedule I was only able to recently crack open the big box of Stitch that had been sitting in my studio for months. Fortunately my … Continue reading

Love Dragon? Sounds dirty.
Today I was working with my own spin on a traditional damask pattern that I like for a wall installation at the VIA and EXIT festivals in France. Here is a version of it that is part dragon, part shaggy dog, and a whole lot of love.
You could set it as a desktop, but … Continue reading

I’m working on some art for some walls that will be on display at the VIA festival in Maubeuge (Northern France) early March and then at the EXIT festival in Paris suburb Creteil later in the month. I had to vectorize a bunch of artwork, this is what my illustrator file looks like when I … Continue reading

– sketch in notebook (not shown)
– re-draw sketch bigger in pencil, scan
– bring into Illustrator, reduce opacity
– draw basic lines on top … Continue reading
