Here's To Future Days

Commemorating Tomenosuke-Syoten's 4th Anniversary!

I am very pleased to participate in congratulating Tomenosuke-syoten for another incredible year as a premiere Art Toy shop and Pop Culture phenomenon, since their inception four years ago. To celebrate the occasion, the first editions of my Futura Airflow sculpture (aka "Train In Vain"), will make it's debut this month in Japan - as Tomenosuke exclusives...

Infused in a cosmic array of slick metallic colors, these Tomenosuke-syoten special editions are limited to 6 pieces and will be available midnight (JST), Saturday October, 30 through their online store. Check here for details.

Happy Anniversary Tomenosuke!- Here's to future days!

But wait! There's more...

Through Being Cool - Time Out For Fun

Current work in progress shots for the next Sh-Betty Boom™ character maquette_8.2.10

Seems like it's been light years since I last posted an entry......

Although continuing production of earlier works that were previously blogged is still underway - I decided to spend a little creative time with Sh-Betty™ to explore her next adventure in the maquette realm.

Sculpted in proprietary wax.

As usual; the sculpt was unplanned and is currently an untitled work in progress. (You can pretty much bet that it will have some classic punk/new wave connotation in the end)

Besides some necessary adjustments, detail and fine "tooning" that need to be addressed in the sculpt, there are also a few elements missing in the images. Some of these have been sculpted and will be molded,cast then added separately(i.e): Sh-Betty's signature "WUWI" shoulder flare, cosmic hair coil, "S" hip swag.....

...and yeah,... I think we might be able to squeeze Bop in there, somewhere, along for the ride... on (or off) the cosmic Vespa.

But wait! There's more...

Built For The Future

But wait! There's more...

Train In Vain

Although I've been creating a lot of sculpture since the beginning of the year, unfortunately, once again, I will be missing out on ComiCon (09).
New works currently in progress. With next years' con on the horizon... I just hope I don't "jump the tracks" on that one either.

But wait! There's more...
