Last weekend The Love Movement art show was held in San Francisco. The show was based on Shin and His wife's creations (Tboy and Dankeschoen bear).
50 Pairs of vinyl toys were sent around the globe to artists to custom them so they could featured in the show. Artists were also asked to create works of art on canvas to be show also.
By the amount of pictures taken at the show it looks like it was a great success. The following Danke Boy and Schoen Girl paper toys were sent to the people who helped fund the show of which I was one of them.

This was a model that I created for the 'style needs no color'-booth at the Blooom! art fair in cologne, The idea was to custom one of nick Knite's mechabunny models but it had to be in black and white.
I wanted to try and do something else with the model pieces and after fooling around with the pieces in different positions I decided it looked like a duck!!
Anyway I was so honoured that my piece was shown at the art fair, it was my first piece of work shown off the internet and hopefully it won't be my last!! thanks nick

Optimus Prime Model part 4

Here are some pictures of the legs, there are two tyres that fit onto the top but this can only be attached once the model is together.




Optimus Prime Model part 3

These are pics of the arms. One thing that i did find stressful was the hands, each finger has 51 pieces, I did one finger per night so it took a while..

Here are some more pics of the gigantic project....

new work

I wanted to see if I could re-create shins train/tram people. I don't mean to be nasty when I copy his work, it's just a challenge for myself to get to his level of work, and to see how the different shapes go together.... so I mean no offence.

And yes I have noticed that I put the hands on backwards... they had dried before I noticed. I have 4 of these textured already.

still stuck in

well our public transport just started back today after a week not being on. This lasted just two hours due to more snow falling today, we got an extra 5 inches of snow today, so everything is closed again...... very depressing.

But on a plus note it means i can spend more time doing models and working on the computer too!

no fun any more

Well it has been snowing for over a week now. you don't mind the first couple of days, you think it looks pretty but after a bit it really starts to get you down. There is hardly any food in the local shops and all the public transport is not running.
