2009-12-22T20:54:00.011-05:00

Here is a custom Bertie Shipping Container I am working on. The owner was using this as a Bank, and asked me to make it functional. So I cut a slot in the head, painted it up. There are still decals and paint that needs to be done, I'd say its half way finished.

Been Awhile.

2009-12-22T20:51:00.001-05:00

So sometime durning the past year I went crazy, put on some meds and totally forgot about this blog thing. But since the new year is upon us and I am once again filled with hope and love. I figured this will come back to life, and give me a place to show art, both mine, and those that I love.

But seeing as I live without health insurance, been about 6-7 years since I seen a doctor. I am forced to just lay around being sick til it goes away. So I am taking off posting on here once again til this damn thing goes away. I am sorry have a bunch of new stuff to post but it will take some time. Take care all.

2008-10-21T13:54:00.001-04:00

So I know Dead Space came out last week. But I am going to throw the review of the game up from gametrailers.com. I put a good 13-14 hours into Dead Space and beat it last night. It is by far one of the best video games I have ever played. If you have yet to pick this up cause of the wide range of games coming out, do so. Just make sure to play with the lights off and the 5.1 turned all the way up. Its a game well worth your 60$.

Ok so who wants to pile in the xB and take a trip to NY? This here is new work of Banksy and its awesome. Away with the paint and in with the animatronics. Bansky has been showing up in NY the past few weeks and just the other day he opened The Village Pet Store in the West Village of New York City. In this pet store you won't see cats and dogs, but breaded fish sticks swimming in a bowl, or McDonald's Chicken McNuggets that sip barbecue sauce. There is also a bunny who's sitting in front of a mirror putting on make-up. The Village Pet Store will be open daily til October 32st from 10a.m to midnight. Here's a time I wished I lived in NY, but the pictures and small video are good enough, check it out.

MUNNY TIME!

2008-10-08T15:25:00.005-04:00

So tell me a little about your self?

Born and raised in Florida and my parents gave me the collecting bug early.
I had a lot of toys growing up; M.U.S.C.L.E. Men, Battle Beasts, Mad Balls, G.I. Joe, He-Man, legos, Transformers, and I still have most of them. When my parents would tell me to clean my room, I would just push the piles of toys against the walls so you had space to walk. It’s not much different today.
In 2005 I started collecting Palisades and Mezco toys like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy and South Park. My friend Kip Williamson saw my collection and handed me a book called "Vinyl Will Kill". I flipped. I just liked how bubbly and colorful everything was, I was immediately hooked.

When did you first learn about Munny's?

2006

Is this your First and what was the inspiration, tell me a little about it?

I have done about 4 pieces (quality over quantity). There are also some small ones around the house just from having ideas at that particular time.
Insperation for this piece came from Kip. He is an avid Star Wars collector with a 13' x13' room covered from floor to ceiling and wall to wall with toys (production and fan made). He wanted a giant Boba Fett. Since its least used he wanted the colors to be from the 80's cartoon series DROIDS (the first time Boba Fett was introduced). Before I knew it, he had a Mega Munny in hand and colors already picked out.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?

On the Boba Fett I used Krylon Spray Paint. When I started customizing, I was using Elmer’s Paint Markers. They aren’t the best for color variety but they go on smooth and don’t stick afterwards.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commissions?

None are for sale now, although I am available for commissions!
I will be busy with one due October 9th, but if you are interested you can drop me a line at jmf337@att.net

Is there a website or contact info for you?

Email me or you can get a hold of me thru the Forums user name jmf337

I would like to thank Justin for taking the time and sending me this. That piece is awesome and I am glad it took 3rd place at Munnyocalypse. Awesome Work!

Yup, Google (who own YouTube) want some more money. They've today announced a new feature to be implemented on YouTube that will let you buy games. And proper, real games to boot. They'll be rolling out Amazon buttons underneath certain game videos. Like, you watch a Spore trailer on YouTube, and if you like the cut of its gib, you can buy it straight away. Ah, modern commerce. Gotta love it, no?

Instant Art Grants Program!

2008-10-07T13:12:00.002-04:00

Instant Grant Program from Steve Lambert on Vimeo.

Check this video out. Its cool there are people out there doing this. Here is alittle bit from their website.

From the Federation's website:

How It Works

We all learn art in school. Every kid loves to draw at some point. People get fascinated with the details of their new camera, or spend free time writing poems. But eventually, there’s a not a teacher telling you how great your are, or the camera gets put away, or you just plain get busy and stop. Years could go by before you start again, if you ever do at all.

The FSNUA aims to re-inspire creative thinking and action in everyday people by removing a small barrier and providing encouragement. We give small, unsecured grants in the form of $10-$60 for creative projects thought up on the spot by everyday people. In the past this has included a merchant marine, two 10 year old girls, a US soldier on leave from Iraq, an accordion player from Alaska, and around 40 others. We funded their new paintings, drawings, knitting, and photojournalism projects, and the repair of one accordion. Projects that may not have happened had they not come across 10 people in the park to support and inspire the thought.

Beyond the small amount of money, the project encourages people to see themselves as something other than workers or consumers even if it just for the length of time required to apply for the FSNUA grant. We also hope to re-inspire dormant desires to create while presenting an example of generosity without an ulterior motive.

Tristan Eaton Obama Posters

2008-10-03T13:12:00.003-04:00

Seen this posted over at Vinyl Pulse, I know politics is a bad thing, but I am going to show my support for Obama, and show some awesome political art.

Tristan Eaton has created a series of posters for Barrack Obama’s Vote for Change campaign, which makes it easy to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election. The posters distributed primarily in swing states feature quotes from voters about the need for change and Tristan’s retro, powerful and slightly sarcastic illustrations. These score both in terms of visual appeal and their painful truth. Thunderdog have just put up a pre-order for an open-edition 4 color silk-screen print of the Working for Gas Poster (15" x 24”) for $40. This is the first of three print releases. Next up, a series of portrait posters curated by Thunderdog Studios featuring art from Demo, Filth, and Tes One.

2008-10-03T02:13:00.004-04:00

Fellow artist Pottstar creates some awesome light up customs. Some of my Favorites are the ones with the masks. Please check out these awesome customs.

So tell me a little about your self?
My name is M.G. Litan and I'm from Laguna, Philippines. I love toys, music and art. I don't think I could do my designs without music pumping away behind me.

When did you first learn about Munny's?
I first learned about Munny's early this year when I started collecting toys.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?
I used dremel to drill the holes, super sculpey for the masks and then used spray paint, markers and some glitters. For the light, I used LED bulb. These munnys can either be plugged into a USB port or a power socket.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commisions?
These customs are already sold. Yes, I take commissions.

Is there a website or contact info for you?
You can email me at http://www.blogger.com/pottstarr@gmail.com and you can check all my customs at Pottstarr.multiply.com

Slipping right under Namco Bandai's legal radar (until right now, we guess), Italian designer QAYOT has made this Pac-Man-like seat. Covered in a stain resistant coated fabric, the Pouf-Man doesn't eat pellets like its gaming counterpart but a square cushion. It's also not yellow. And that's what people think when they hear Pac-Man: Pellets and yellow. Well, that's what we always think. Always.

Munny Time!

2008-09-28T11:10:00.005-04:00

Well awhile back my g/f painted me a picture of a Koala. So when I saw this I thought of her, plus its a really good custom. Its something I have not seen done before, which is tough with how many customs that come out every week. Please check this out and also visit his site for more pictures and info, thanks.

So tell me alittle about your self?
I get most of my inspirations from things that I love. I am a gamer, so most of my customs are video game related. I first started by customizing Stuffed Koalas. These were Star Wars based, because at the time I found a cool Slurpee Lid I wanted to use for something, and so I made my Darth Vader Koala. After the Koalas I caught the customizing fever. I next went to customizing LEGO Minifigures. The majority of my LEGO customs were Legend of Zelda Customs. There was a break in my customs for about a year. I had to live in Hawaii (poor me :P) for work for 11 months, and I didn't have a lot of access to my supplies. When I got back, I fell into the vinyl scene.

When did you first learn about Munny's?
I learned of Munnys about 2 years ago when I was in Hawaii. I loved the simple shape, and I could see these being made into a bunch of different things. I had to have one.

Is this your First and what was the inspiration, tell me alittle about it?
My first Munny was actually my piranha plant Munny, which you can see here The Koala is actually the mascot for my website http://www.kodykoala.com./ I wanted to dress him up for Halloween, so I guess that was my inspiration.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?
I pretty much use the cheap acrylic paints from WalMart. I mix them to get the desired colors. I also use automotive clear coats on the finished products to keep them looking good.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commissions?
I have actually been toying with the idea of selling my customs, but currently they are for my personal collection. I don't feel that they are good enough to sell. All my work up until now is me practicing and trying to find my style.

Is there a website or contact info for you?

Little Big Planet beta!

2008-09-26T13:32:00.002-04:00

So reason main reason I have not been posting the past 2-3 days is I have been on a search for a beta code for Little Big Planet. Seems like there are a few sites that will be giving them out yet. Last night Gamespot released theirs, I have yet to recieve an email. But sites like IGN.com and 1up.com are still supposed to release codes. I have had my ps3 since launch and for me this is the only game that can save the system. I can't wait to see what kind of crazy creative lvls I can build. If anyone out there has a second working beta code, send it my way and I will hook you up with some free stuff.

Dok A's Custom Steampunk Fortune Teller

2008-09-26T13:02:00.005-04:00

More and more picture of the customs that will be in the MADL Citizens show in Detroit on October 25th have been seen. This one here is from Doktor A who is by far one of the best customizers out there. This guy kills every custom he does. This was taken from Vinylpulse:

"This sweet fortune teller piece sucks us into his universe abuzz with wondrous machinery. The inclusion and execution of cleverly thought out details from the realistic levers and handles to the detailed printed instructions on the top of the device up the awe factor and increase believability. Beyond all that though, the piece is FUN to look at and dream about. Finally, the cherry on top here is that Dok loves his work and it shows in numerous ways including the humorous set of printed fortunes, including the sassy "You will purchase art from an English Man" one. Amazing work."

So if your anywhere near Detroit, you better go check out this awesome show on October 25th at LiFt.

2008-09-23T12:29:00.005-04:00

So yesterday I got my little box in the mail from my last Dunny Trade. This box came from Dodgrr, in San Diego CA. This thing is awesome I am not really sure on how it was made, and taking some good pics of it was a little tough. But I remembered my mom had a lighthouse kinda like this that had a base that lighted up. So I tried to get the pics of it on the base so you can see it better. Either way this thing is awesome!

Here is a pic of what I sent out to Yates.

Scavengers Series 2

2008-09-22T23:03:00.003-04:00

I totally missed out of the first series of these. I will one day have to hunt down series one, but now there is series 2. Kathie Olivas is becoming one of my Fav. artists. Her work on the last series of dunny's was awesome. Be sure to pick these up when they are released. Info taken from http://www.vinylpulse.com/.

-Rsin-

Mindstyle's first Scavengers series from Kathie Olivas was a smash success. Given the high-quality of the figures in terms of the sculpts and the paint deco as well as the posh reusable gift boxes, it’s easy to see why the first series is arguably one of the finest art toy mini-fig series to date. It’s safe to say that Scavengers Series 2 will be very well received as well when it drops in October.

The second series features eight figures including the Lainey and Fernando chase (feat. an unmistakable pink octopus) figure, a collaborative piece combining the talents of Kathie and her husband Brandt Peters. Scavengers Series 2 brings Kathie’s beautiful yet sometimes harrowing original Misery Children artwork to life. Her paintings and sculptures recast the tradition of early American naive portraits of children into a dark post-apocalyptic world in which children are left to fend for themselves among a menagerie of mutated wild animals. They are observers of the unspeakable dark truth others can not or will not acknowledge. This imagined future world resonates on both a symbolic level and on a more a literal level perhaps foreshadowing an unspeakable fate. Be ready to score these when they come out as they should be quite popular.

Munny Time!

2008-09-22T15:25:00.010-04:00

Here is the next Custom Munny, this thing is once again awesome. I have been doing customs for a year now and am still not sure how you sculpt like this. You did such an amazing job on the sculpt, and then the paint job is just as awesome. Check it out!

So tell me a little about your self?
I'm from San Jose, CA. I enjoy doing artwork ranging from traditional sketching all the way to 3d modeling. I am often inspired by art, comics, and films.

When did you first learn about Munny's? I first learned of munnys about 4 months ago. My cousin asked me what he should make his Munny into and I replied, "What the hell is a Munny." After checkin out the awesome work from the kidrobot forums, I just had to buy one and see what I could do.

Is this your First and what was the inspiration, tell me alittle about it? This is actually my second munny. My first attempt was a "Penguin" munny. That was tons of fun so I decided on doing another comic character. I really liked the old school x-men animated series and thought it would be fun to turn some characters into munnys. This wolverine munny is based off the old school color theme. I tried to go for basic saturated colors to give it that animated feel to it.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?
For this munny I used Super sculpey, a variety of shaping and sculpting tools, a Rustoleum spray on primer, and a bunch of Liquitex acrylic paints.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commisions?
This particular custom isn't for sale yet. It is just one munny of an ongoing series. Once the series is completed and shown, they will be put on sale. I definitely do take commissions and am currently available for work. Feel free to contact me if you want any munnys done! Just email me at: admin@sethrobles.com

Is there a website or contact info for you?
http://www.sethrobles.com/ is my website. I will be posting my munny work there in the near future.

New post coming Sunday night.

2008-09-21T02:12:00.000-04:00

Got a crazy weekend here, I will be back tomorrow night with post. Got a brand new custom munny to show off. Look for them Monday.

DJ AM And Travis Barker Critically Injured.

2008-09-20T10:47:00.001-04:00

Taken straight from MTV.com I just woke up and read about this. Best of luck to those to guys.

DJ AM and Travis Barker were critically injured in a plane crash Friday night (September 19) in Columbia, South Carolina. They had just performed at a free T-Mobile-sponsored show in the Five Points area, along with Perry Farrell and headliner Gavin DeGraw. Farrell's manager, Peter Katsis, confirmed that Farrell was not on the plane; it was unclear at press time whether DeGraw was onboard.

According to Lynne Douglas, public information officer for the Columbia Metro Airport, the crash took place just before midnight on Friday and involved a private Learjet with six passengers onboard. While taking off, the plane, which never left the ground, began sending up sparks and skidded off the end of the runway through a fence separating the airfield from a nearby roadway. It then crossed the roadway and ended up in an embankment, catching fire on impact. Douglas said two passengers — who were later confirmed to be AM and Barker — escaped the aircraft while it was on the ground, while the other two passengers and crew members died in the crash.

Beth Frits, a spokesperson for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, confirmed that AM (born Adam Goldstein) and Barker were transported to a hospital in Columbia, following the crash. They were transferred — AM by helicopter and Barker by ambulance — to the Still Center soon after.

Lexington County Deputy Coroner Brian Setree confirmed for MTV News on Saturday morning that three men and a woman were killed in the crash. Just after 10 a.m. Saturday, Setree identified two of the crash victims: the plane's pilot, Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim, California, and her co-pilot, James Bland, who was 52 and lived in Carlsbad, California. The National Transportation Safety Board has scheduled a press conference for 11:30 a.m., and more details are expected to be revealed at that time.

Former Blink-182 drummer Barker, 32, and DJ AM, 35, were the house band for the 2008 VMAs.

Fall Fest!

2008-09-20T04:27:00.002-04:00

For those local kids I will be out at Frock on Penn Ave in West Reading today for their Fall Fest. Starts at 1pm, and I will be there til I sell something or get sleepy. I might be doing some live art. I also have a bunch of fresh new art I will be showing. Got something new in the mix, seems like every time I expand or evolve onto some other medium someone is always there to steal my style! Was going to keep this a secrete til I have the mass amount done, but I will be showing 3 of them today! I will be showing new work on this blog later this week. Hope all is well.

Obama Cola Classic!

2008-09-19T19:25:00.004-04:00

This here is a Munny created by fellow artist Jared Cain. He is a Professional Graphic Designer based in Atlanta. I have been given permission by him to post pics of his newest creation. Here is a quote from him on why he made it, "Not intended to be any specific political commentary, merely an interpretation of Barack Obama using one of America's most iconic symbols." I like the fact that when looking at this piece you can see the overall picture of Obama and still pick out the classic Coke script. He even took the Obama logo and turned it into a coke logo. This is one of my Fav. munnys yet, just for the idea! You guys can reach Jared Cain at his Email

Dunny Design Contest

2008-09-19T15:01:00.002-04:00

Well today was the day Kidrobot picked the design. First off let me say I am not angry cause I didn't win, but cause the winning design broke the rules. The rules for the contest clearly stated no more then 6 colors. If you used more your design would be thrown out. I made sure to read the rules, and follow them. So here is the winning design, as you can see (hell I am color blind and I can see 8) pink, red, green, yellow, blue, grey, black, white. Not to mention this design has been made already on munny's, Qee's, Trexi's, so its not so original. Oh well, I have spoke to other members who participated in the contest and they are just as confused. I have contacted Kidrobot and am waiting on a response. Either way you guys can look for this design on a shirt released from Kidrobot sometime soon!

Munny Time!

2008-09-18T00:24:00.012-04:00

So I know this is something other sites do, and I don't want to copy, but there are alot of talented artist out there. And I want to offer a space where they can show off their work and maybe get some feedback. So the other day I was on a search and found the first few artist I wanted to feature. And here is the first, I went ahead and just asked a few questions. Please check it out, give me and her some feedback. And if you want to show work here let me know. Email me at Rsinart@gmail.com.

So tell me a little about your self?
My name is Megan and I live in Los Angeles. I grew up in New Jersey, went to school in Tucson AZ, then moved out to the coast. I love making all kinds of 3d art, especially masks, but I am starting to get back into painting. I love coffee, comic books, and the Steelers. My favorite color is green .

When did you first learn about Munny's?
I got one of Joe Ledbetters 'Finders Keepers' in a discount bin and that was the beginning of the end. Not long after I got into vinyl toys and onto the forums. I saw the custom munny's and was all 'I gotta try that!'

Is this your First and what was the inspiration, tell me alittle about it?
This was my first munny and almost immediately I knew I wanted to make a bull (who knows why, maybe cuz I'm a Taurus?). I think its because I definitely wanted to sculpt and I think horns make a beautiful silhouette. Once I knew that, I started to consider color. I thought of doing it red and fiery, and then the idea of Babe the Blue Ox popped in my head. For those who don't know their American folklore, Babe is Paul Bunyan's giant companion. I was excited about doing a character I hadn't thought of since I was a kid.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?
Super Sculpty for the horns, hooves, and tail. I then used a spray primer before painting with acrylic. Last I did a matte seal and added fur for the tip of the tail.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commissions?
Babe was part of a munny trade party I did with friends, so he's not mine anymore. I would love to sell my customs in the future or do commissions.

Is there a website or contact info for you?
I make cute winter hats at Biteybeanie.com and can be reached at biteybeanie@gmail.com. I also do commission masks and you can see pictures at:
HERE! these Masks are awesome!
Check out the pics below, Megan did an awesome job on this Munny. Thanks for being the first one!
