Custom Gaiking Shogun Warrior

Anyone that liked the custom Getter Dragon Shogun Warrior I did earlier, might like this. I Finally finished the Gaiking. Note to self: make sure to primer the toy next time. I like the way it turned out, but my lack of patience (again) created the opportunity for more mistakes than I cared to really fix. Which one to desecrate next? I have an extra Mazinger and Raideen...

Colin Christian: "Fast Forward" Show at IMAS

I'm a big fan of Colin Christian. His latest show "Fast Forward" at the International Musuem of Art and Science in Texas is an impressive deplay. One of these days, I fully intend to have a pair of his statues guarding my front door. The giant faces are pretty cool and I will admit that I wouldn't mind having one over my dining room, but at the same time, they freak me out.

SKINNER "Every Man is My Enemy" Book...!!

Prolific artist and buddy SKINNER has a new book out at Ginko Press. I was at his studio when he and Hal were finishing this book up. He's a madman..! Get this book..!

Influenced by 80s pop culture, human struggle, myths and violence, dungeons and dragons, and the heavy metal gods, Skinner’s mind is one full of mayhem fueled by a calculated chaos. His work has been shown all over the universe — at places like the Museum of Graphic Design in Breta, Netherlands, the Illustrative Festival in Berlin, Germany, Japan, France, and the states from LA to New York and everywhere in between.

He recently participated in the epic ‘Suggestivism’ exhibition at the Grand Central Arts Center. His most recent solo exhibit entitled ‘The Fear You May Know’ reigned at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco in the summer of 2010. Skinner’s work has been featured in many publications, including Blisss, Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose, and Beautiful / Decay.

The Art of Katsuya Terada

It was brought to my attention that the illustration in my earlier post on Shikaruna's upcoming figure was done by Terra aka Katsuya Terada. His work is familiar, but I was did not know his name. He is probably best known in the US as the character designer in the anime "Blood: The Last Vampire". The influence from French artist Moebius is obvious but I think he must have also been influenced by Masamune Shirow. Amazing and prolific artist. I need to track down a few of his books.

No Robots.

SKINNER Custom Vinyl

Nightmare Ultrus Bog Limited

SKINNER Limited run of this Nightmare Ultrus Bog? Awesome.



SKINNER custom Japanese vinyl. I like SKINNER's color design. The colors pop and have some detail, but not too much. Looks great on these RealxHead, Rumble Monsters and Mongolion.
