They’re FINALLY DONE!!!!

Over 3 years in the making, I’ve finally completed the GUARDIAN 10″ run for my first year (2007) Subscribers. (yeah I know… took long enough right?)  I created a total of 15 pcs and the majority are going to my subbers, but due to a few previous arrangements I have 3 that are available on my store.

After a few different tries at making these I finally settled on using cut PVC plastic sheeting to create the raised surfaces.  Each piece was hand assembled, filled, sanded, and painted resulting in a mini production line here in the studio.  Extreme detail was put into the construction of these as I wanted them to look as close to production as possible.

In order to make each piece unique I mixed up the various colors between figures and wings.  There is one “repeat” colorway (black w/ white wings) that cleverly matches the “STEALTH” GUARDIAN 5″ MAD*L’s that I released a few months ago.  You can find all the pics over on my flickr page.

If your not one of the lucky Subscribers who get one of these bad boys, you can swing by the store today and pick up one for your collection.   The 3 that are up for grabs are pictured below….

Soooooo it’s my brithday this week and on top of getting one step closer to the grave I’m also throwing a big SALE!!!  (…I may or may not need some extra drinking money…)  For one day only (Thursday, December 17th) I’m adding a coupon code good for 33% off any purchase made on my store.  Just enter “MADis33″ into the coupon box during checkout.  This is a 24 hour sale, and once stuff is sold out, that’s it.  If you need to buy some gifts or just getting yourself something this is the time to do it!  Sale is good on ANYTHING on the store including original artwork and custom pieces!!

Also keep in mind every $50 you spend until Dec. 27th enters you into the drawing for a hand painted 20″ Dunny based off my MAD APE Dunny from the last series.  There’s no limit to entries into the drawing, but ya gotta spend at least $50 for a chance.  Last years winner was a collector from Australia who bought one $60 piece…  Don’t miss out!

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a post up, but I wanted to spread the news of this years “Black Friday Sale” & “Holiday Promo”…

BLACK FRIDAY SALE

This is a ONE DAY ONLY sale and you have to use the coupon code “MADFRIDAY” to get the 25% discount on your order.  It applies to EVERYTHING on the store… customs, paintings, production toys, and apparel!  Sale starts and ends at the stroke of midnight… No Exceptions!  What I have on the store is all in stock and ready to ship.  Everything comes signed by me, unless you tell me knot to.  Because products are limited (some one of a kind) if something sells out, that’s it.  So don’t sleep on something you might regret later!

I’ll be updating the store with new stuff throughout the day say keep an eye on the site, or follow me on Twitter.

Not only are you getting a great deal on my stuff, you’ll get credit for your purchases and entered into our 2nd annual…

MTD Holiday Promotion

As you may know I did this last year and it was a lot of fun.  I’ve decided this year the custom will be a giant hand painted version of my “MAD APE” Dunny from the “Dunny 2009 Series” by Kidrobot.  For every $50 you spend on my store from Nov. 27th – Dec 27th (gotta spend that xmas cash somewhere right?) you’ll get a ticket for the custom.  Order as many times as you’d like, there’s no limit to how times you can enter.  On Dec. 28th I’ll be doing a video drawing to announce the winner, then contact that person via email.  The custom is currently in base coat phase and will be ready by the end of the year, and all shipping is covered globally.

Lastly I’d like to thank all the fans and supporters for another great year!

That’s right!  I know I’ve been slow on the blogging, but this is partly why.  Right now I’m working a ton of customs trying to cut down my list of never ending “to do’s” but managed to bang out these 5 custom 5″ Madl’s.  Based off my Guardian characters (which I’ve done as custom 10″ Mad*l’s before) these have an added bit of dimension to their surface.  Lots more pics on my flickr.

Available RIGHT NOW on my store!  Don’t sleep as there’s only 5 available!!

Just got images of my latest collab with the fine peeps over at Fully Visual and thought I’d share.

As you can see there’s a handfull of metal’s this time around being used.  Each is around 2.5″ tall and will be super limited… some as low as 50 pcs.  Keep an eye out here or on the FV site for drop dates and sales!

I wanted to give a big shout out to all the people who came out to my Kidrobot signings in NY and Miami!  As always the fans were top notch and very patient!

Here’s a few of my pics from the trip…

If you haven’t heard already, I’ll be dropping into Miami (my first time there) for a special solo show at Kidrobot’s store/ gallery!  The show will be packed full of all new paintings, prints, and custom toys… many based off my BoOoya Ghosts characters! (which happen to be dropping as toys the night before in NY)  One of the customs I worked up for the show is done on a VERY rare 18″ Kidrobot mascot figure.

**The size of this piece is awesome and I really really want to keep him.

I’ve also done up an 18″ fatcap as well…  go big or go home right?  I’ll throw a few more teasers up as the show approaches!

If your anywhere near the KR Miami store, please stop by and check it out.  I’ll be there for the opening ready to sign & doodle.

Talk soon!

Earlier this year I was asked by The PITCH (a local weekly newspaper here in KC) to create artwork for their upcoming music showcase.  The showcase is a super big show here in town and is basically the best of the best in local talent…. So of course I agreed!!!

I create a new round of Bentworld characters called the Bentworld Beats and they loved the concept.  We worked together to come up with a nice list of characters that they could use to  in various formats to help with promotion.  Fast forward to today and the show is right around the corner, so the hype machine is churning out some goodies to help promote the show.  Just announced a few days ago is the official show tee, and its available now… for ONLY $5!!!!!

Here’s the artwork I created for their show poster (minus all the sponser logo’s and other details)

Check the LINK to pick one, two, or twenty up… they’re ONLY $5!!!!

Talk soon!

As you may have seen on the web already, I’ve got a few things going on in NY with Kidrobot on the 6th of August.  I’ll be there for the signing release of the new BoOoya Ghosts Mini-figure line I designed, as well as the official drop of the KR fall apparel line (which is based on a bunch of my art) and if that wasn’t enough reason to come see my smiling face, how about getting a free 3″ DUNNY!  Looks like the KR peeps are giving away a special version of my MAD APE Dunny that’s going to be in the next series.  I’ll be there in full force ready to sign, doodle, sketch, whatever you’d like for one night only.

I’ve finally gotten word that I can share the news of my latest figure colab with Strangekiss toys that’s dropping at SDCC.  Peep the pictures and the press release…
