Well, We went, we saw, and we conquered the 2014' East Of The River Comic Book & Collectibles show! Our good buddy, and fellow artisan, Mike Valade joined us that day,and we had ourselves a good ol' time. We met some very cool people, got interviewed by a podcast show, and even sold some product. Couldn't ask for much more in a show. A special thanks for all the people that took part in making this show happen, and giving us a place to showcase our work, Cheers! HERE is a link to our interview with The B & M Baked Podcast. Hope you enjoy!

OUR DAY AT NEW YORK COMICON 2013'

Well, We survived New York Comicon 2013! I attended the show only one day this year (Friday) so I had to cram as much Con goodness into one day as possible. I was joined that day by my good buddy Marshal 'Plex' Couture, The man behind Donkey Jaw Projects (www.donkeyjawprojects.com), and fellow toymaker, and Resin Syndicate member, Feast Boy (http://www.feast.storenvy.com). There was soooo much too see that day, The Block section (dedicated to Low Brow Art, and indy Toy Makers) was bigger and better than ever! Industry heavy hitters like Frank Kozik, The Super Sucklord, KaNO, Scott Tolleson, Jon Paul Kaiser, Marty 'God Beast' Hansen, and many others were in attendance, along with kick-ass retailers like: Tenacious Toys, Toy Tokyo, O'Nell Design, Suburban Vinyl, MISHKA NYC, My Plastic Heart, Lullubell, and plenty more slingin' vinyl and resin all day long! It a true was also a pleasure to see smaller indy toy guys and gals rubbing elbows with the heavy hitters. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with: TRIPLIKID about His amazing Groper toy, which just so happened to be a finalist in the Designer Toy Awards for Best Resin Figure (good luck guys!) The We Make Pretty gang, with their amazing Munny and Dunny customs,  I also chatted it up with Jesse Chagnon, the webmaster of the very awesome blog, Doomkick! If you're a lover of designer toys, and some of the mainstream stuff too, I highly recommend checking them out. I even traded one of My Abyss figures for a couple of his cool, Slime toys! Other key purchases that day would include a sweet figure courtesy of  Feast Boy, A My Plastic Heart exclusive Outlander figure, and a handful of other resin, and mini vinyl figures I bought on my adventure. OOPS! I just realized I left out a few cool folks I met at NYCC, Shout outs to Laura Alich (Gum Goblins), Todd Robertson, Jacob Siegelbaum and Father, The gentlemen from Suburban Vinyl, and Selina Briggs (Jelly Empire). Thanks for being co cool, and taking the time to chat with Us :)

So all in all, NYCC 2013' was a great time. Can't wait for 2014! 

Thanks for your continued support!

BLACK METAL BUDDIES DEBUT!

That's right folks, My line of Black Metal Buddies mini-figures make their debut today with the first figure in the series, Abyss! Abyss is the front man for the Norwegian Black Metal Band, Darkest Throne (Not to be confused with the actual band, Dark Throne) He is a resin figure hand sculpted, hand cast, hand painted by yours truly, and limited to seven pieces. He stands 2.5" tall and comes hand numbered with a signed header card I designed. Since all seven pieces are hand painted with some post production sculpt modifications here and there, no two figures are exactly alike. Special shout out to by boy Plex, of Donkey Jaw Projects for the constant support and encouragement. Figure two is currently nearing completion in the sculpting stage, stay tuned for a release date... You can get your very own Abyss figure by visiting our official store. Thanks for looking!

A DONKEY JAW PROJECTS/CRYING GULL TOYS COLLABORATION!

Donkey Jaw Projects recently revealed their first resin figure, MOLT-The Locust Monster! I was fortunate enough to paint a figure for Plex's first wave of figures. I call it, 'The Starkology Edition' Mainly because his color scheme is similar to that of Iron Man, and the name was inspired by Ghostface Killah, one of my favorite MC's. So hats off to Plex and Donkey Jaw Projects! And thanks again for the Collabo Op ;) All photos provided by Plex. If you would like to get your hands on one of these beauties just visit The Donkey Jaw Store today!

MOLT, THE LOCUST MONSTER!!!

My good buddy Plex just released his first handmade resin toy over at Donkey Jaw Projects! Molt, The Locust Monster is available right now! He's hand signed, comes with a snazzy painted header card, and limited to a ten piece run. I suggest stopping by DJP today to grab one before they're gone!
