Art All Night 2013

My piece hanging at Art All Night (24 hour event of art, live music, etc!) this year.  It was a huge turn out and tons of fun, as usual.  My piece "Rustic Shipwreck" is still available, 16"x20" plus frame.  Contact me if interested :)  

I'll be posting better photos and close-ups of my piece shortly.

Art All Night Sneak Peek

Progression of my piece for this year's Art All Night in Trenton this Saturday-Sunday 3pm-3pm.

I always love seeing other people's processes so i thought i'd share mine.

Added a few finishing touches and a frame.  Will post soon :) 

The Monster's Lullaby

Soon!!  Unbelievably excited to be a part of this.

Yoti Howlerton

Meet Yoti Howlerton!  Yoti is my doofy little coyote friend.  He is a customized 7" Kidrobot Trikky, complete with real coyote teeth.  Like i said before, i'm really into incorporating real parts into my customs.  I just love idea and the look of it.

I had a ton of trouble with his outfit, which i spent far too many hours painting and repainting...and repainting.  It was an unbelievably stressful piece for me which is rare/annoying.  I'm pretty happy with the outcome and if anyone is interested, Yoti is still looking for a home sweet home!

Rattley Stanley: Snake Oil Salesman

Meet Rattley Stanley, the traveling snake oil salesman!  Rattley is easily my new favorite custom and i can't help but adore him.  He is a custom Kidrobot Rooz, which I've been wanting to use to make a snake for years and finally moved forward with the idea.  Rattley is especially special because i got a real rattlesnake tail as unique addition.  It even kind of rattles, which is fun.  I was concerned with how i was going to blend the real take with my less realistic sculpting, but i think it turned out well and i love the look of it.  I really love creating little kritters and over the past few years decided to start adding real animal parts to add a little extra fun.  You'll be seeing lots more of that in upcoming customs!

After i told my talented and creative friend Bill that my Rattley was going to be a business man, he suggested making him a snake oil salesman.  Stupid little me didn't know what snake oil was, so i looked it up and read all about the product and Clark Stanley who originally produced snake oil.  Genius idea for my rattlesnake!  

Hawthorne Hoofington

Meet the happy magical Hawthorne Hoofington!  A 4" Kidrobot Raffy commission i recently finished. Next i want to make a 7" Raffy of Mr. Smiles !

Butter McFly

Meet Butter McFly!  Butter McFly is a little something i sculpted for my butterfly-obsessed purple-loving nurse friend for Nurse's Day.  I know she'll treat him well!

Last chance!

Last chance to grab these pretty ladies directly from me, before shipping them off to the wonderful Rise Up Gallery in Miami.  "The Fanciest Feathers" (Peacock) has sold, but the remaining three are up for grabs.

If no one claims them soon, they will be for sale later on at Rise Up Gallery! 

The Highest Love!

A recent commissioned anniversary present piece!  Giraffeys in love. Aren't they just the sweetest?

Designing Outside The Lines Show

"Designing Outside The Lines", the lego-themed show premiered April 26 at 1AM Gallery in San Francisco!  I wish i could have been there in person, especially considering it was in my absolute favorite city, but here are some photos from the show, borrowed from 1AM's facebook album.  See the full album here.

While your'e at it, check out 1AM's post about me and my piece!

One-Eyed Girl X Paralyzed Artist X Inspiration

My handsome custom lego torch Fellow Robotipus is below,  who i'm ecstatic sold at the show, with more from the other participating artists:

Girl on Wheels

"Girl on Wheels"
11"x14"

Back in January, my sister and i went down to Miami for Rise Up Gallery's grand opening where my buddy David McCauley (paralyzed artist and founder of Rise Up) was an amazing host.  He was a blast to hang out with, put together the greatest gallery opening, and gave us tips on all the cool places to go, eat, and drink.  On our last day in Miami, he mentioned he had a thing for girls on skateboards.  So my sister and i decided it would be a fun gift to give him one of my girls riding a skateboard.  Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do David!  You rock.

Ninja Pez

"Ninja Pez"
11"x14"

I painted this for my good friend Bill Hewitt who has a collection of artwork with ninjas holding pez dispensers.  Of course i went in the direction of the 1EG's and went with a skunk head after making Billiam Stinkerstench for this same friend.  Because he stinks, like a skunk.
