Final Custom Toys of 2008

Here are my last custom toys for 2008. I'm neck deep right now in a very large commission and I'm also starting to think over ideas for some upcoming shows in 2009, so I've been taking little breaks here and there by working on these two little guys. The one on the left has a pearl white base color, with red and gold. The one on the right is plain white, with Black and orange. I still enjoy working on 3-inch Dunnys and have some cool ideas for some non-Spade-Skull designs that hopefully will see the light of day early next year. If all goes well I'll be starting on some more over the holidays while I continue on the commissions and show pieces. Most likely this will be my last post of 2008, so Happy Holidays to all and I'll see you in 2009. Cheers!

Design This Design That Issue 3

Issue #3 of Design This Design That is out and focuses completely on toys. This is really nicely put together e-zine. There's a lot of cool pictures of customs, hand-made plush, production pieces, and some interviews with the various artists featured in the zine- one of those being with yours truly. To check it out click on the link above.

Through this project I became familiar with Issuu, which is basically a online publishing site that anyone can use- cool stuff. Below are some small pics of my interview. Once I get a pdf of it I'll set it up as a download.
