Dunny Dunny

This should have been posted over a month ago, but I don't know why I waited. Here's my 8 inch Dunny Dunny custom for the Coalesce New York show, which premiered at the beginning of September. This was a collab piece with Brian Colin aka Codedecoinc. He completed his part by creating the monster that emerges from the toilet shown in the picture on the bottom. Great job Brian and thanks!!! He's on sale here for $250 if anyone is interested....www.coalescecustomvinylshow.blogspot.com.
The hingework delayed me a bit when creating this custom but I made it work. Also the toilet seat is too thin, which I'll have to fix that for the next time I do a custom like this. Overall, I enjoyed doing this custom. It was easier doing all the lines as opposed to the original 3 inch custom I did. Look out in the future when I do a munny version of this for the the Montreal Munny Monster show with my own monster emerging from the bowl!

Message Board Custom Trade Series 9

Message Board Custom Dunny Trade Series 9 is here.  I'm not supposed to post pics of my piece until my tradee receives it but oh well.  It's not really showing it on the message boards though.  Anyone who wants a sneak peek would have to look at this blog.  Well, I ended up doing a dragon this time.  Came out really well.  I know that the sculpting doesn't look all that clean, but I was trying to go for the woodcut look.  Much thanks go out to my photographer sister-in-law who took these professional pics of the piece.  Makes it look a lot better than the iphone camera or old digital camera that I have.  A couple of things... I was going to extend the neck but held out for the next time.  I will be making a larger version of this for the Premier Vinyl Customs Show (PVC) coming up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  Make sure you look out for that one.  I'm also planning to make a custom scroll box for this before I send it out next monday.  I'll post pics of that once I'm done!  Enjoy!

Yoka Custom for Coalesce NY show.

So this is the Yoka custom I did for the upcoming Coalesce NY show on September 5th.  What was originally a panda looking thing ended up becoming this cross between a Gamera Kaiju and Blastoise Pokemon.  I originally planned for it to be some kind of Ninja turtle (since 90% of everyone customizing a yoka are keeping it's bear form), but I just flowed with it and ended up with this.  Mad props to board member Another-waver for recommending the Air-dry DAS clay I used for this.  Still have a lot to learn with the clay but  it worked out great.  I wanted that gritty natural unevenness look to this so I did very little smoothing out of the shell and other sculpted parts.  Oh yeah, look into its eyes... I used red marbles for them!!

     Too bad I wasn't able to finish my other customs for this show.  I still have a collab piece that I did with Codedecoinc that I have to post so be on the lookout for that.  No gas grill dunny for the show as well as little dragon giveaways.  This ended up becoming top priority next to my daughter (who by the way had a fever this whole weekend).  At least I have something to show.  Have fun at the show people and be on the lookout for this guy!
