Presenting "Lydon" - The fifth in my series of graphic meets 3D style characters for my
collectible resin figures.
Back in March of 2015, I was asked to participate in introducing the latest Makerbot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer for a national pc retailer in my area. Although as the title suggests ("Brave New World"); 3D printing/printers for the consumer is hardly new. And many of the Makerbot printers are commonly found in most retail stores; ranging from Office Depot to the big box giant, Home Depot. Nevertheless, from a traditional sculptor's point of view, (who has recently made the leap into virtual sculpting), I thought this would be a cool experience to talk about the migration, process and to see first hand how my recent digital sculpt would translate to 3D printing. Lydon will be my first printed piece. Although the date has been pushed back for this demonstration, I am eager to see how well (or not) this process will preform compared to my experience in hand sculpting toys.
stay t00ned!

Be sure before you flush...
cast resin, hand sculpted, mixed media and acrylic, marble and granite mount. (obscenely heavy).
It seems understandable that this current piece smacks certain overtones of trendy "zombie fandom" - but in actuality, (like many of my works), it was inspired by music. In this instance; I give a nod to Inspiral Carpets' (1992) song "Generations" from the album (by the same title as this post) which adorns the awesome photographic art of Sandy Skoglund. While the song, was motivating enough - the sculpt has nothing to do with the lyrics. In this context, "Generations", I attempt to parody "capricious evolution".... Although, I have to admit - their music video, was as equally "inspiraling"!

The wonderful thing about a blog; is not only being able to deliver fresh content on the fly - but my favorite thing about blogger; is the slogan - "push button publishing". How clever is that, I ask you?
However, like the tagline implies - you MUST actually PUSH the button to actually POST the content after you write it....ugh! My forgetfulness notwithstanding - here is my very long over due release of the
Gazuzu resin figure (appropriately) entitled
"AirHead" (79). Each can be purchased here from the
Studio Store...
Gazuzu AirHead 79 edition was intended to make it's debut 3 weeks ago in time to pay homage to the anniversary of that other famous ape to scale a building, back in 1933. Limited Edition of 4 pieces -The AirHead 79 figures sit 6.25" tall (to top of head) on a 4" diam base, each individually signed and numbered, hand cast in polystone resin, airbrushed and hand painted in a satin, monochromatic color scheme.

Here is a preview of one of the next additions to the Vapor & Clash line-up...
...which will also coincide with the "Myths,Mullets and Mohawks" mini statue series - still in the works ;)
But wait! There's more...
It has been a while since I've had the chance to create or upload any new works.
My absence from the blog is usually the result of life as a freelance artist. Which (loosely translated) means; too busy working or too busy promoting work....
Meanwhile back in the studio - Pictured above; are a small sampling of Cybermite™ resin figures I'm currently producing. Re-born from one of my first toy lines I ever created; Cybermites were originally produced in 1999 as a soft toy under the brand name Plutonian Plush™. The new 'Mites line-up will be cast resin and should be ready for purchase in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for checking back to my little corner of (cyber) space :-).
But wait! There's more...
