The Ant Farmer

Meet The Ant Farmer!  This Anteater Ant Farmer is a tricky little devil.  What better way to never go hungry than to manage your own ant farm?  There's a reason his rosey cheeks are so chubby and plump!

The Ant Farmer is my first 8" Dunny, created for the Art Without Borders  art show at Art Whino Gallery in National Harbor, MD.  The show is benefitting Doctors Without Borders.  Read more about the show and Doctors Without Borders on the event page here.

I had such a great time last year, I'll be attending the opening again this year!  The show is March 22, 2014 at Blind Whino in Washington DC, and the show will be on display at Art Whino Gallery after the reception until April 22.

Along with the custom toys for the Art Without Borders show, art-engraved coasters are also on sale to benefit Doctors Without Borders.  All profits go directly to charity.  http://hypnotiq.storenvy.com/collections/45249-all-products/products/5776267-art-without-borders-coaster-set

Carnigator

Meet Carnigator!! The friendly carnie alligator.  Carnigator is a custom 7" Munny, with real alligator teeth!  Ever since i made my shark customs, i've been wanting to make customs with other animal teeth, including alligator.  I decided to finally bring my gator to life for the Art Without Borders Show, a charity show for Doctors Without Borders, which i've posted about recently.  I wanted to create an old-timey carnival type of feel for the little guy. He was super fun to sculpt and paint... except inside his mouth around the teeth which was an absolute nightmare.

Check out Carnigator, along side a TON of incredibly talented and amazing artists, this Saturday at Art Whino!
