NYCC 2012

The con is almost among us! I have been working adamantly on a variety of hand cast things for this convention for almost a year it seems. Hah. Lets get started on the awesomeness!

First, I want to personally give a huge thanks to Jesse Moore of Rawshark! My bearded buddy did an incredible painting for the various characters I have created. I wanted to back these things with some killer artwork. We have been working on various project both independently and together for awhile and we take a very deep appreciation when it comes to art. Without getting into to much bro on bro love, I just want to say thanks for contributing a excellent piece of artwork to go along with these weirdos! You are the best!

Secondly, I want to thank Matt Doughty of Onell . This other bearded lunatic has been an important role in my creativity as well as Mr. Moore. Matt has been an incredible and influential friend to me. He has taken the time out to shoot some awesome pictures of this stuff for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. He has a way of capturing things(especially toys) that is unlike most. I need to get myself a digital camera and takes notes. Haha. Once again thanks to both of my friends for helping with some crucial swaz!

Alrighty, NYCC is tomorrow and Onell's booth is going to be jam packed with some super talented people! I am contributing some pretty cool handcast heads and attachments compatible with the glyos system, as well as some sweet customs. Here we have a handful of what will be available this weekend! I will be at the Onell Design Booth Thursday, Friday, and possibly at some other times. Come on down to Booth#3216 and check out what I have been working on! I cant wait to see everyone out there, Its going to be a blast!

Getting Ready For NYCC Part 1

Production Heavy

The last week and a half has been an extremely busy one for myself. I have molded over 7 glyos heads/parts and have two more going. Just updating as I go with some pics of what I have cooking for NYCC. Can't wait!

Assembled Forces

Finally got around to painting up some of my hand cast resin heads! Ive been so busy with working the kinks out of my molding and casting, there was no time for fun! Luckily , I have great friends that help me out a ton! Without them, I would be more of a disaster. Hah!

 Here we see three of the heads that will be available soon! From left to right we have ; Ventros, Cy'reen, and Rel! As for right now, I am getting new materials to really start producing some of these heads and some customs to follow. Aiming my guns at NYCC for an official release. Still have a ton to do and not enough time to do it. Just want to take the time to say a huge thanks to : Jesse, Matt, and Marty( The God Beast ) for all being such a huge part in my creativity and my life. You guys are the best!

Sneak Preview

Moore Shop Pics

With Jesse's latest launch coming to a close, all I can say is WOW! This man has put his heart and soul into all of his projects, but this one was a bit more. Its been a bunch of late nights at the shop with him and I and also at the homestead. These took a little longer than anticipated but I personally think its worth the wait. I know I cant wait to put mine in my collection! There was a lot more added process with this assortment and I can say that I really dig the direction Jesse is taking his stuff. With every launch, he pushes his shit to the next level. Its incredible coming into this just a few years ago and seeing these advances in the toys themselves. Congrats bud! In other news, with all this pretty much done on my end, I will be returning to my swaz that I have going. Still need to get some more supplies but hopefully Ill be moving into the studio soon so I can get working on my sculpts and casting. Ventros is going to undergo some changes. I really cant wait to tell the whole story and have these guys finally be at the point where I am comfortable releasing them. Ill be posting more pics of him soon!

Cast And Crew

Been fooling around with some casting equipment these past couple of weeks. I am still learning a lot about how this all works. The pics I threw up show some urethane glyos compatible heads I have been working on. Ventros, Is the helmeted warrior above and the cube shaped dude is Acrobot. One of these days when I get some more time I will write some of the background for these guys. I have a story to tell. These are by no means perfect. There are some extra procedures and equipment that I don't have. Yet. However I will be hopefully be moving all my stuff into a studio and be getting a pressure pot and making new molds. I want to really get all the detail out of my sculpts and perfect this process. I want to personally thank Marty, The Godbeast, for answering some questions I had about this. Him being a very good friend of mine, and a superb maker of the fine toys, I knew he was my go-to-guy. I also want to thank Jesse for all the inspiration that bearded son of a bitch gave me. Most of these heads were sculpted in the seat he paints in. I feel honored to have a friend like him. Also I want to thank Matt for being such an incredible inspiration to me and letting me tell my story. He has really brought us a cool and innovative toy line that I truly love! I am unsure what I will do with the casted heads I have. I mainly have been practicing with colors and such. I might smooth over the imperfections and paint them up. Ill be posting more over the coming weeks as things rapidly progress...
