These are the last two 13 friends figures in series one, again these are work in progress shots and some changes have been made to to the sculpts. Their names are Oswald and Agatha. Hope these and previous pics have helped those of you interested in how my characters translate into toys. Stay tuned for pics of the the final factory colored prototypes…
In a effort to show how my work translates into toys I’ve posted some process shots of another figure in my 13 friends toy line. They are work in progress shots which is why they look unfinished. His name is Rooofus.
Slept terrible last night, I think the dogs woke me up a couple times and I eventually found myself at 5 am unable to fall back to sleep (on a sunday morning), so I got up and painted a little. Its small – 6 X 6 inches, hope you like it…
Been painting a bit today, messing around and playing with color. And here are the results….
its 8 X 8 inches and acrylic on board (as usual)
As some of you may know, the first figures of my “13 friends” toy line will start to be released in a couple months time.
I often get questions about how to produce designer toys. I’m not really sure there is one way of doing it, however I thought I’d show a couple pics of the process. After I’ve completed the initial turn-around drawings, a scuplt of the figure is produced.
Edgar is the first of 4 figures, I’ll be sure to post production pics of the other characters in the coming days…
This is one of the more recent custom toys I’ve painted “Blooming Thoughts” Its acrylic on a wood figure that was made by the wood toy king MikeBurnett. The piece stands about 6.5 inches tall.
heres a paining I knocked out recently “floating love” -it measures 12 x 8 inches and is painted in yummy acrylic!
Heres my first little venture into the world of handmade plush toys. “Blasters!” There are 7 in total, all different colors and the black one glows! They will be available at gallery 1988 this tuesday night! Dont miss the show if you’re around Los Angeles.
Here are a couple drawings from this past weekend. They both measure 10 X 7.5 inches and are ink on strathmore board.
Well this is my first time blogging, I’ve been at it for about 15 minutes and already I feel its time to go pick up up a book to learn more! Most of the stuff in here will be pictures of my work ’cause I dont like typing, which works out rather well since I dont often have anything to say. I’m shooting to post stuff a few times a week, hopefully its easier to update than my website…
