Underground 4


Underground 4 by Art Love Magic was HUGE this year! Not only in the number of artist and performers but the attendance!

It was also the first appearance of DRANK the new blank toy design by Mac XI and MonsterBot Studio. DRANK is 5 inches tall and has 2 points of articulation at the arms.

There are only 7 of these guys including some customized versions.

No Time for Video




So I was unable to post a video showing how I made DRANK. What I didn't know about videos is that if it's your first time, it takes a really long time to edit and set up, which with the show date of Feb 11th (UNDERGROUND 4) looming I could not work on DRANK and do the video post as I hoped. I still kept up with post on twitter showing the steps I have done. Lots more to do so as always stay tuned!

Return with a Ring


Time to start up again! I have come back from my hiatus, which I had gotten married, seen relatives, and done the holiday round about. So now it's a new year and I am ready to get MonsterBot Studio going! This year I am going to push my Studio farther! Also as promised I will be doing video tutorials of my process for toy creation. The first project is "Drank" for the Art Love Magic's Underground Show happening February 11th at South Side on Lamar in Dallas. Video updates will happen on Fridays!

After the UnderGround (A post show report)

Banner

On February 12th was the annual Underground Art show held by the crew of Art Love Magic.
Underground is a chance for Dallas artist to come out and show off there skills in front of everyone! Being my first time I was amazed at how many people attended and just out right loved.............wait for it.............ISCREAM!

ISCREAM set

If you have been following my twitter (why not?) you would have had first look at this collaboration between myself and Mac IX aka Cody Phillips. ISCREAM is a diabolical ice cream treat that survives through his refrigerated robot body. During the show I was casting the different "Favors" for the ice cream head, while Mac IX applied his killer painting skills for the face.

ISCREAM at the MonsterBot Shop along with other items from the show.
Also for those interested hit up the flickr page to see the collection of progress shots from doodle to final figure! Enjoy!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! If you had probably noticed leading up to the 4th my MonsterBot went up for sale in the shop. What I didn't expect was the overwhelming response to the figures! Mostly this was due the posting on Spanky Stokes blog. All 5 figures were gone overnight. Didn't even have time to post it here(sorry!). So I will be make move this time so check out the Twitter page for the progression of the next set of MonsterBots!
