BINKUS!

So as I promised, here is a look at our new friend, Binkus :

Binkus will be available exclusively at San Diego Comic Con, later this week! It is a limited run (less than 30!), and this hand-painted, each-one-unique, poly-resin, 4" statue is going to be available at the Art Squared Publishing table (E-09). Less than 20 will be painted, and around 10 statues will be unpainted for you crazy artists who like to DIY or just be different (believe me, I understand).

Designer Danielle Griffith and fabricator Joe Bluhm (myself) will be there to sign, talk, BS, etc. Hope to see you there!

San Diego Comic Con Exclusive

This is a little something I've been working on with artist and designer Danielle Griffith. Danielle designed this little critter and was kind enough to allow me to have a go at sculpting him.

His name is Binkus and you can meet him at table E-09 if you are in San Diego next week for the big show. Binkus is an exclusive, hand-made buddy who will only be found at Comic Con, at the Art Squared Publishing table, where you will find myself and Danielle.

We are currently pouring Poly Resin copies for you and your friends... we will keep updating with more shots of the process and the fun...

...hand sculpted, one-at-a-time molds, hand-painted... this is very limited and each one is receiving unique attention. We are considering selling blanks as well, so you can build your own friendship by painting and customizing Binkus. Let us know if that appeals to you.

Anyway, check back in a few days to see more finished pics of Binkus, as well as shots of the unique fabrication process.

My old art is on the Huffington Post???!!

Haha!

Let's take a music break... HOLY CRAP these guys are good, and getting better and better with every passing year:

Critters, UNITE!

We are playing around with sketches and ideas for a local mural that will be born this summer, and it (of course) has spawned into new ideas, new characters, and a fun sketch. This is a collaboration between the studio (moonbot), ideas of Brandon Oldenburg, Bill Joyce, sketched by myself and painted by Adam Volker. This is not the actual mural image, but a part of the brainstorming process that may end up in it somewhere...

I can't wait to see where this goes...

Missing TCAF

Hey all-

If you haven't heard of it, and are looking for a great art/comics weekend, check out the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) at the Toronto Public Library this weekend. It is the most sincere and incredible art and comics convention I've seen.

I have attended the first two and had a blast. Unfortunately a dear friend has lost a family member and I must stay to support them in any way they may need. So I will not be able to make the show, and I sincerely apologize. For those of you who are in Toronto, have a beer and a maple donut for me, and check out some cool stuff while you're there.

I'll see you next year, if not sooner.

Sometimes I like watching helpful videos from Experts online. These are helpful in helping me be a good artist, and may help you too

Sesame Street contest

My buddy Brian Haimes posted this on Aniboom.com - check it out and take a second to register and rate his video. It's REALLY catchy and perfect for Sesame Street!
