Bubbin' & Bobblin'

Custom Bukka (the hot new vinyl shit, I guess? I basically just paint whatever I'm given and don't ask questions) for the Custom Bukka show at Monkeyhouse Silverlake! This one was one of my best procrastination efforts ever-I had this thing sitting on my desk for 3 months, and managed not to touch it until a week & a half before the deadline. Score!

Couple of coats of paint to start off, so I can actually see what's going on.


I'm not so into the duckbill or the bunny tail, so covering that up. Aaand, since this makes the dude look a little dragony, let's go with that. NAR.

At this point I realize he kinda looks like the Bubble Bobble dragon dude, so going with that now. Someday, I'd like to be able to plan ahead and know what I'm making before it's finished.


But for now, I'll just work on perfecting the stream-of-consciousness custom making.

It's a little hard to see, but he's got a black eye. I guess the little dude he caught put up a good fight. Also, his nose really looks like a wang from this angle. Huh.

Little Wooden Do-bobbies

I made little wooden guys for a couple people, and now I have a bunch of extra wooden thingies floating around my house. I suppose I could make stuff with them, but EH. LAZY.

I love this guy cause you can set him by anything and he will be absolutely appalled by it.

I've noticed that my characters tend to be VERY ANGRY ARGHHHHHHH.

How did you climb that tree without any limbs? Curious!

What's awesome about me is, I took this picture in wet grass, never thinking that the watercolor I painted the damn thing with would SMEAR WHEN WET. Dar.

12 Eyes of the Toxic Everglades

3" Dunny, Paperclay, beads, acrylic
2008

Progress:
I originally imagined this guy as being somewhat ordinary; multiple eyes and lack of pants nonwithstanding. I couldn't really see how to do that and attach any kind of reasonable and interesting story to it, though, so I ended up doing him as kind of a Godzilla/Swamp Monster-type affair.

The paint job is a little weird to me, but the eyes came out unexpectedly kick ass.
