So the Drive print I wanted sold out in like 20 secs today. I was there right when it went up, I got it in my cart, and then it was gone. BUT... my boy John B just happened to be trying too for my sake and managed to score one. Big ups to John B. Amanda will be happy to put Gosling next to her other boys Joe Strummer and Henry Rollins.

I finally got my silicone in yesterday and I didn't get a chance to mess with it until this morning. I walk Amanda to her car in the morning so she doesn't get stolen and since I passed out after trivia last night at like 11 oclock I had gotten plenty of sleep and didn't go back to bed like I normally do. Man did I make a huge goddamn mess with the silicone too. I got a 10 lb bucket of the stuff so it's not that easy to pour off small amounts. I tried to rig one of those paint can pour lip things and that just made things much worse. All the silicone started pouring off the sides of the hastily made device and poured all over the floor and a bunch of other crap. Luckily I have this plastic mat so my chair can roll easier so cleanup wasn't that bad.

Most Wanted 3 Dunny's will be appearing in multiples very soon.

I had some extra rubber that I had already mixed up so I ripped the head off that Pez right there and made a mold of that too. I'm gonna cast up a few and just give em away as gifts. Any guesses who or what the head might have been?

Tron Duo — Check. Drive... Must Get

So I sold a couple things and was able to pick up the Tron pair of posters from Mondo on Ebay. Paid more than double what they dropped for but it was less than the guy was asking for so can't complain too much about that. And then I saw this poster today for the film Drive.

 This poster is by a different artist than the Tron pair, Ken Taylor. I love this film and my girl really like Gosling so it appears I might be on a poster kick again. My friend John B who some of you might know as Zonnie5 is a poster fiend and turned me onto Mondo at SDCC. The Star War posters there from Olly Moss are fetching crazy prices right now so I'm happy to grab something cool from http://www.mondotees.com/ for decent prices when I can. I hope to grab this beauty tomorrow at an undisclosed time. Don't screw me over people....cause Nike needs another poster. (Not really, I already don't have wall space for the Tron posters....but as I've been known to say lately — Fuck It)

Some new pics of the studio and a sneak peak at the next completed customs.

Once I knock some of these out a few new pieces will be started.

Oh, and I finally got around to starting up on the last few gift MW2 Dunny's with variant head for a few of the other artists. Man am I tardy.

Aso just ordered 10 lbs of silicone to start doing the casting on my MW3 Dunny. 10 lbs is major overkill but it was significantly cheaper per unit to order 10 lbs as opposed to 1 lb at a time. I will eventually use it all.

And...since this is done and everyone had already seen it, here is my final turnaround for my Headless Horseman Dunny that I will be submitting to Kidrobot in the near future. They did not ask me to do this, I am merely throwing my design in for consideration. It would be super cool as a Halloween release.

And one last thing. This is a design for a T-shirt that I started before Comic Con this year and just never finished it. I'm gonna finish it soon because the X-Men are dope and I don't have an X-Men T-hirt. The yellow will be the actual color of the shirt. It will probably be a 1 off and as of right now it's a 4 color print.

These Posters are the Shit

I think someone on Twitter linked to these posters and I fell in love instantly. I LOVE the Tron movies, even the new one. Legacy renewed my fake crush on Olivia Wilde. I'm supposed to be saving my money for our wedding in July but I need to get these posters. They dropped last week and it's utterly frustrating to have missed them by only a week or so and now they're going for double on Ebay. I might just suck it up and get them. I also need to buy silicone and magnets for my MW3 Dunny production.

What to do.

Even Newer Design

After finishing the prototype I just wasn't happy with how she looked so I started revising her even more. I think it was the fact that the design on her body wasn't anything and I didn't really have a personal connection to the design...so I decided to keep the face and the babooshka because that really defines the nesting doll look but I was going to make the rest of it more relevant to me. So this is my MW3 design 4.0 and I took a little real life inspiration from my Love Amanda. Not totally sold on how the ends of the ears look yet but I am much happier with this than the old design. I think the colors are alot better too. There wasn't that much contrast on the old one and this pops alot more. It does have more detail though and will take longer to make but what the Fuck!

And I decided that it made the most sense to make a mini Dunny to go in the middle and that design is still undetermined. I'm thinking something nautical themed to go with the t-shirt. Maybe an ALbatross design so when and if someone uses it as a Zipper pull, it'll be like they have an Albatross hanging form their neck. I may be the only one that gets the reference (Rime of the Ancient Mariner) so I might have to keep thinking on that one. Maybe a little pirate. Amanda loves pirates, and she does say I never make anything for her.

MW3 Revised

So after getting a few responses about what should go inside my MW3 Dunny one of the ideas I really liked was to sculpt a Chest Burster like from the film Aliens and have that be inside her. I then figured that if that were the case the design should be altered slightly so here is a revised facial expression to better display her surprise that she is host to a deadly foreign being.

I also considered putting a smallish blood stain on the front as if the alien were in the process of busting out.

Other suggestions I liked were:

a wolf of some kind because she is reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood.

a bottle of vodka because of the Russian nesting doll thing.

a little demon and that would go along the same lines of the alien.

In each case I think I would alter the facial expression to match the inner item; drunk if it were the bottle of vodka, scared if it were the demon or the wolf.
