3D CUSTOM CAN SCULPTURES

   I finally got round to making an idea I had a while ago..Using empty spray cans as a base to sculpt onto, these are my first batch of 3d character cans.. They seem to have had a good response from all who have seen them in my studio so far...
   I have listed these cans for sale in my etsy and ebay stores.. ( click the link buttons on the right of this page) If you can't find them, they have probably sold already.. More coming soon..
Thanks for looking..

SPEAKS VOLUMES ALBUM ARTWORK FOR THE I.R.S

   Earlier this year I was amazed when I was asked to do the album artwork for one of my favourite hip hop crews, THE I.R.S
   The I.R.S are ED STRONG, KING KAI, MC DV, SUPERB and DJ GUIDE ONE and are based in London..
   Anyone who knows me, knows I've been hooked since hearing their first album "the world is theirs", a few years back..( available here. http://theirs.bandcamp.com/album/the-world-is-theirs )  I've listened to that album a lot, so when I got the initial email from King Kai asking me if I could help them out, I was flattered to say the least.. After talkin on the phone and a few phone calls inbetween to Ed, I was given a rough brief and sent a sample copy of the album.. The fuel for the artwork..

   After quite a few changes, plenty of developing, a bit of tweeking, a few late nights, loads of emailing and a few phone calls, the artwork was done.. I have to say that these guys are exactly as down to earth and as real as I thought they would be from listening to their lyrics..It was a honour to be asked to be a part of this and I hope my artwork does the music proud..
This is their second release called "SPEAKS VOLUMES" and it's another definate for any hip hop heads collection.. Out on 5th August 2011, available from here http://theirs.bandcamp.com/album/speaks-volumes



Show support and buy this album or have a sample listen from here http://theirs.bandcamp.com/album/speaks-volumes
Here's a few video freestyle sessions from a few years back..Enjoy...

HOLD THE SALT..ROOZ CUSTOM

     This was a 4" ROOZ by KIDROBOT which I have Customized into this crazy looking slug character... I had no plan of doing a slug when I started making him, thats just how he came out.. Here are a few mugshots of him complete with moveable features and a slime trail.. He also has a nasty bite..so, carefull of the teeths..

big teef dunny

    KISS MY TEETH!

My newest custom vinyl toy is this kidrobot 8" dunny.. After hours of sculpting and painting, he's finally done..

  Complete with massively big teeth and gums, exposed brains, a stiched ear, boils, some flesh wounds, an axe in the stomach, a willy, toenails,blood drips, and butt cheeks with your name tattooed on them...


  I started by slapping clay on his face and freestyling his features.. The teeth came from a lollypop dummy that I bought specially to use for this..The lolly wasn't that nice, the sweet tasted like plastic... But the teeth were well worth it..


  It took a few sessions to finish because I had to let things dry.. The head and arms can still be rotated..






If anyone's interested in giving him a home, he might be for sale.. Comissioned pieces also available..
More coming soon... Thanks for looking..
