“Phoenix Rising” Elite Division Warrior #3 – NYCC 2010 Custom Collaboration Mad*L
Finally, the reveal of the third and last member of the Elite Division Warriors Mad*L for New York Comic Con 2010 – “Phoenix Rising” Elite Division Warrior #3! This is a custom 5″ Mad*L collaboration between Kevin Gosselin and myself. Kevin is an excellent sculptor/artist and I was really happy to have been able to work with him on this figure. Kevin did all the sculpting to resemble an ancient Chinese (terra cotta) warrior, while I did all the artwork. Kevin sculpted it to fit my art style and allowed much surface area for me to do my thing while still maintaining the look of a warrior.
Background story and more details/pics/pricing to come. This will be on display/for sale at the Tenacious Toys booth at NYCC 2010, with a signing/sketch session by me on Saturday, October 9 at 1pm EST.

AW177 New Customs for New York Comic Con 2010!
Wow. I haven’t posted this much stuff in a long time. For those that have seen my collabo Terra Cotta Mad*Ls (one more to be revealed), I also have other customs that will be displayed and sold at NYCC, at the Tenacious Toys booth.
These customs are different from my usual style, less ‘cartoony’ and used different techniques to create them. I believe in changing your art style here and there, to keep the fans on their toes and to always try out new and different styles; why keep doing the same thing over and over?
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

AW177 Work in Progress for New York Comic Con 2010!
Got a few customs working for New York Comic Con 2010 – wanted to give a WIP shot of it. This is a collabo custom w/ a great sculptor, artist and friend of mine (revealed later).
AW177 “Koi Blossom” Jouwe!
Ok finally got a chance to snap a few pics of my custom “Koi Blossom” Jouwe figure for the Jouwe group custom show at Toy Art Gallery (TAG) located at 737 Seward St. #1, Los Angeles, CA 90038 (www.toyartgallery.com).
Opening reception: October 1, 7-10pm, runs from October 1 – 29, 2010.
The Jouwe figure is great and I didn’t want to modify the form of it; I wanted to enhance it and give it a more traditional Asian pattern. The Jouwe form looks like a tough yet cute little rhino guy, so wanted to give it a more ‘love’ feel to it – hence why I chose the Koi.
