Winter

 

We have been getting bombarded with the white stuff the past couple of days and it is safe to say winter is  here. Its amazing how fast the seasons change sometimes. 

I was hoping to do a proper launch of Geodraxus before this year ends. Unfortunately, time did not see it that way. The last thing I wanted to do was rush the project, so I am taking a step back for the holidays.

I also have some other projects in the works for 2014 that I am excited about. Some solo stuff and some collaborations with friends is on tap! 

I will be working on this release through the holidays and will post some WIP photos as I am chuggin' along. Check back for some new stuff soon!

They are dyed, painted and clear coated with Monster Kolor Products! The gallery is Tomorrow, November 9th at 7pm in Middleboro, Ma! More info over at Monster Kolor's Site . Anything that is left over from the Gallery will be available online shortly after the show! See you there!

NYCC Wrap-Up

     NYCC was an incredible experience and I had a blast with old friends and new friends! Matt and Jesse were kind enough to give me ample time at their table and let me show off one of my latest projects, Geodraxus. Between the con and the food crawls, I did not want to come home!

     So the post con stuff is now available for purchase. Since there is not a lot left, I am doing email order system. If you see anything that you would like to purchase, email me at - Pjaybartlett@gmail.com !

Thank You!

     A massive thank you goes out to everyone who supported and participated in the Banimon Custom Corps. You guys are the best! Words can't express how lucky we truly are to have such incredible people support what we all love and create. To me, it still doesn't feel real. Ive spent the better part of the last four months on this project and it has been equal parts awesome and sad to see these guys go. This Custom Corps became integrated in my daily life and feels weird not coming home to a bunch of figures on my table!
  
     A huge thanks goes out Matt and Jesse for their continued support in everything I have done. These dudes have been a huge flow of positive energy and weighed in heavily throughout this project. Another huge thanks to Boris Savic and Seth Longmire for all their input and support. It was fun being able to collaborate with such talented artists!

    Banimon's 1st Custom Corps will be something I hope we all will remember for years to come, and we can't thank you guys enough for being apart of it!

Incoming

     Banimon's first Custom Corps is ready to deploy Tonight, August 30th, at 9:30 EST . It is hard to believe after all these months working on the Custom Corps, the day Is almost here to let them out into the wild. Each one of these figures are truly special and have all sorts of neat embellishments all over them! It has been an awesome experience working alongside Boris and Seth!

     Here is the breakdown of what will be on tap tonight-

  
     Standard Banimon Custom Corps Figure - $30 (Limit two per customer)

     Deluxe Banimon Custom Corps Figure- $40 (Limit one per customer)


     Most of the teasers we shared have been the standard edition of the Custom Corps. This photo exhibits one of the deluxe figures from the assortment. Along with these beefier deluxe figures, there will be a special edition screen printed map! The special Banimon Map has new areas never before seen, and locations of where some of these mercenaries hail from. Boris has really gone the extra mile on these bad boys!

     More leading up to the launch so stay tuned!

 

   

    

    

 

First Instincts

     With Gobon just having his most proper debut yet, this custom was best fitted for our next teaser. Personally, Gobon is my favorite character in terms of Matt and Michelle's universe. He was introduced to me in a way I can't really explain in just a small blurb. So prepare for a wave!

     A number of years ago I met one of my favorite artists to date, Jesse Moore. At this time, I was heavy into toys of all sorts. The world of toys became something that I obsessed over constantly. It was a period of time where so many things were inspiring me. I was a sponge trying to absorb all I could, and was always hungry for more! Through my day job, I was able to stumble across the bearded mans path.

      A few hours had passed and we were in a vortex of discussions about toys and art. During this event, I knew my life was about to drastically change. We are both nerds that have a lot in common, and immediately bonded. He later educated me about Glyos and Callgrim. I was so ecstatic to meet someone who created something I loved so much, and live down the street from me! I HAD to see more. Most of you who know Jesse, know that he is a very generous person. He had invited me to his home and showed me some of the toys that inspired him, along with toys he had made. I was marveling over his insane collection of vintage toys and current toys. My senses were totally nuked at this point, until I saw this meatball of a figure!

     After almost going into shock over possibly one of the most overwhelming experiences, something caught my eye up in Jesse's toy lair. It was a roundish, Doctor Robotnik - looking toy that broke the tension I had been having in the plastic museum. For about a minute I felt tranquil and started inspecting the figure. Jesse then explained to me that the creator of this figure started the whole Glyos System Series of toys. When I picked up that Gobon, I had a feeling of joy that is unmatched to this day!

      So, Gobon holds a very special place in my soul. He is still my one of my favorite toys to mess with. I love painting and customizing him, and was super excited to incorporate him in the Banimon Custom Corps. (Maybe even more than once...) Jesse opened my eyes to an incredible toy line and an equally incredible community, for this I give many thanks!

 This particular version is piloted by a Banigoth. A very rustic version that is a death machine to all in his path! More details of the release and more photos soon!

    

Ghillie Up

     This is possibly one of my favorite figures to incorporate into the Banimon Custom Corps. While there is a wide array of different customs, I feel like this one in particular plays right into the Banimon aesthetic perfectly. I love this little guy! He is sporting a handmade ghillie suit along with a ghillie camo sniper with bi-pod!

     Excellent gun for hire, but his services do not come cheap! More soon.

Welcome To The Dark Side

     Rolling with the simultaneous teasers, I think everyone will enjoy this latest batch!


     This custom in particular needed to be done! Head on over to the Banimon Blog for another taste!

More Banimon Custom Corps

     Happy Friday everyone!

      We are continuing to tease this project that we have been working on the past few months. There is such a unique array of figures that will be debuting in the first Banimon Custom Corps. With each picture that surfaces, we are getting more and more excited to drop these guys! ( Although we dont want to see them go, hah! )

      More soon and for another teaser, check out the Banimon Blog!

Banimon Custom Corps

     Its been a few months now working on Banimon's first Custom Corps, and we are really excited to shed some light on this project!

     This project has many different components to it. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing some of them with you as well as some behind the scenes stuff! Its been a true honor working on this project, can't wait to show more!

     The Custom Corps consists of Boris, Seth Longmire, and myself. Boris has provided the base PVC parts and will also be handling the printing and packaging of these suckers! Seth has provided us with some customs heads and body parts as well. I have been put in charge of molding and casting some of these enhancers for the CC as well as building and painting figures!

     Be sure to stay locked on the Rocket North Blog for more details.

   
    

Sorry for the silence!

The title says it all! I have been quite silent lately. I will say that I have been very busy during this time. Got some cool new things cooking up as far as Spaced Out goes. I am really excited to start showing some new stuff!

 There is also a number of collaborative projects under way that will be teased SOON! I have been working with some very talented artists and we have some cool things coming everyone's way! Soon!

Above are some Saplorites that will be getting remolded in a bigger gang mold this week. There will be an assortment of them along with some cool additions soon as well!

Updates on everything shortly!

Slow and Steady

 

      Sorry for the massive lack of posts/updates as of late! April was a busy month this year around. I have been working on a new figure however. I started doing some concept drawings of him during the Treeborg phase, and can't wait to complete him! Ill post some WIP shots soon!

     Also, be on the lookout for a special collaborative soon as well !

Shipped!

Everything from the store debut has been shipped out as of Monday afternoon! I am super stoked to have had you guys apart of this latest assortment. Its been super fun making these guys! I hope that everyone likes the stuff they got.

For those of you that picked up a Saplorite, be on the lookout for some oddballs! Some of these guys glow in the dark and some of them change in different lighting! It will be fun to see which ones you scored.

Be sure to hop over to the forums and post some pics of you hauls! I want to see who ended up with some of those Saplorites. I am already rolling into the next thing "toy" wise. After a small decompression I am returning to one of my favorite parts of toy making, sculpting!

Thank You!

Thank you to those who participated in last night's debut of the Spaced Out Design Shop! Last night's turnout exceeded my expectations, and your support is greatly appreciated! I just wanted you all to know you made the grand opening extra special for me, and forever have my thanks!

 A good amount of time has been invested into this project. After sculpting the Glyos compatible Treeborg parts, Matt inspired me on possibly doing another figure to go with these guys. We fooled around with the parts and he had some great ideas for a new figure. The Saplorite figure was planted in my head after that session.

If you look closely on the Saplorite figure, you will find a part of the sculpt is very reminiscent of Matt's style with a rooted twist. I took one of the handcast parts he had modified and built around it. Can you find it?
 
A very special thanks goes out to Matt for all his help, advice, guidance and input throughout this project. He has a strong impact on the things I have created and I am eternally grateful for everything he has done!

Another special thanks goes out to Marcus for putting the site together. He spent a lot of time and effort making this thing right. Also, he brought a lot of originality to the site and I couldn't be happier with the result! Thanks Bince!

And last but certainly not least, a special thanks to Jesse for providing his awesome artwork for this launch. He has been a huge support in all my creativity and I am lucky to work with him on special projects. You're the best bro!

Well, that was a mouthful! In terms of last night's sale, the shipping process will begin next week. So be on the lookout for notices then. Thanks again to everyone who checked out the latest oddities, and there is much more to come in 2013!

Shop Is Live !

Also, the site has had a complete make-over thanks to Marcus! Marc and I have been going back and forth like mad men. He truly put a lot of hard work into this and I couldn't be happier. More soon !

Update

Sooner than you think

Cast, Paint, Repeat... Sleep??

Its been a super busy couple of months! I have been amping up some things for this launch that is (hopefully) emerging later this month! There has been a few add-ons along the way , that I hope will enhance this project. Its been super fun ( and painfully tiring ) getting all this made!

Also, there may be some killer art smatterings to go along with this launch by a very handsome bearded man! Can't wait!

So here are a few WIP shots and some casts that I have been working on the past few days. More stuff soon!
