About Me

I am a professional graphic designer and right now I am moon lighting as a toy customizer. Every waking minute outside of work I commit to painting and sculpting custom toys.

Battle Beast

Anyone remember Battle Beasts? I certainly didn't when one of them showed up in the mail, but the more I looked up about them the more I remembered actually having a bunch of them as a kid. They have these little hologram things on their chests that are heat sensitive. Anyways... I was commissioned to re-create a Battle Beast named Hare Razing Rabbit using a Bic Buddy....can you see the actual figure? I swear, he's in there.

Spade Knight

This is the 2nd of the 4 Dunny's in the Suited set. His head is also clear but with the black dye it is much less obvious that it is so. I casted the 4 heads to have a peg on them, instead of the peg going INTO the head like on a regular vinyl Dunny, and the peg has a magnet on the end just for a little more, non aesthetic security. I call this guy the Spade Knight.


Hellboy Finished


So Hellboy is about finished. Just some last minute details. My opinion...he looks awesome.

Diamond Jack

I've been working on a set based on the 4 suits now for maybe over a year. There was a really long concepting stage since all 4 designs are completely original... and this is the first reveal of the first design. I really wanted to make this set special so I did a ton of new things including casting clear resin heads, dying them, screen printing a pattern for a piece of clothing... and molding and casting a clear torso. The whole set will be revealed once I finish the box.

Tusk Boy

First reveal of the Chuckboy Dunny that I just finished. I bet you can't guess who it's for.

Really Old Studio Pic

So I've really been enjoying showing pics of my workspace and I'm going to continue to do that so you guys can see how things change and move as I work on new things. So I was flicking through a bunch of old pics and I found this one from my last quarter at The Portfolio Center. I lived in a bigger apartment and this was my work area during school and as you can see it was a disaster. My old "roommate" wasn't as understanding as Amanda is about the messes. Amanda is the shit!!!
