HOLD YOUR OWN

Painted with spray paint and acrylics this latest piece "Hold Your Own" features another of those drippy no faced characters getting to grips with some style.. 

It's important to have your own, and once you've got it you should probably hold on to it before it gets taken by someone else..

Measuring 50 x 19 cm on a chunky 3cm deep stretched canvas..Finished with a coat of clear lacquer, this signed original is now up for grabs in the store.. If you'd like to own this piece or see some other original stuff that's currently available, click this link thingy HERE!! 

THE CAN SOLO SAGA CONTINUES..star wars spray can sculptures

Some of you may remember previous framed editions of  Can Solo that have been put out over the last 2 years..Well, new to the store today are these spray can versions of Can Solo, who was captured for crimes of vandalism and imprisoned to stay up forever. 

Kitbashed / sculpted onto empty spray cans before painting, these 20cm tall models are one of  kind pieces that give a nod to that well known scene from that science fiction thing we alll love called Star Wars..

Each can has been burst open and depressurized making them acceptable to post overseas..This also allows the wire to be fed through the hole (which is detachable for postage reasons) and tucked under his nozzle face easily, with as little or as much slack as you'd like..

If you'd like to check these out in more detail you can head over to my store in a galaxy not too far away,  HERE...

Thanks for looking! Stay up!

FOR LIFE.. NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS..MORE MAAADCANS..

It's been a busy few weeks with the run up to Christmas as orders of custom name cans are being sent out on a regular basis along with a few resin customs and the odd print..Some of those MaaadCans I've been posting about have been sent around the world lately..(it's mad to think they could be out there probably wrapped with a bow under a tree already)

I've been enjoying making these pieces and after tracking down some real looking eyes and teeth to incorporate into the sculpts, I've recently finished these 5 and put them in my store...

THE CAN CONTROLLER pt2 featuring one of those MAAADCANS..

This double canvas piece was painted a few weeks ago after spending a lot of time focusing on those Maaadcans..Painted mostly with acrylics and some spray paint, this signed original is now up in my store HERE.... Each canvas measures 12 x 9 inches and has been clear coated with a satin lacquer..

TOY LINERS resin vandals

   Fresh to the store this week is a line of "not toys" called TOYLINERS..

For those that don't already know, a "Toy" in graffiti terms is someone who isn't that good, has a weak style and sloppy handstyle. hasn't had much practice or put in any work and probably doesn't understand the unwritten rules of graffiti yet.. These toys often find themselves getting crossed out, lined or gone over..It's just how it is.. 

   In terms of these toy looking objects me and lots of other people produce which get labelled as "toys" or "designer toys" ( and loads of other titles that attempt to explain what they are) they aren't really toys, in the sense that they weren't necessarily made to be played with.. That being said, most of the time it's the closest word that sort of describes what they look like, hence the name ToyLiners.. (If you'd like to see more of the not really toy things I'm waffling about, I recommend checking out SpankyStokes.com and the ToyChronicle blog for a quick eye opener.) 

Cast in resin and hand painted with acrylics, these 4 inch figures have detachable magnetic heads and come presented in custom vandalized boxes with free stickers inside.. 

They'll be available this Friday 18th November at 7.00pm (UK time) priced at £40 each from my Bigcartel store..Only one of each piece is available, head over to the store to take a closer look..

MINI MAAAD CANS .. resin spray cans series one..

If you follow me on any of my social media sites you've probably seen a few progress posts of these things slowly taking over my desk.. Cast in resin from original sculpts, these mini Maaad Cans are one of a kind pieces that get the same paint treatment as my normal sized versions on real empty cans (see more here). The first series of these much smaller 3.5 inch resins are finally finished which means they're ready to be claimed and do the honors of getting up in peoples space.

 All of them are signed, unique pieces, painted with acrylics and spray paint before finishing with a coat of clear lacquer..The final cherry on top is selecting a used nozzle from a stash of hoarded blocked caps that compliment or match the color scheme of the cans. 

There's 5 of each of the two characters available for the first series, with more versions currently being worked on for future releases..Each figure comes boxed with stickers, priced at £25.00 each plus postage from my Bigcartel store.. 

Available this Friday 4th November at 7.00pm BST ( UK time zone ) 

MAAAD CANS .. SPRAY CAN GRAFFITI SCULPTURES

Not sure if anyone would have noticed but it's been a few months since I last posted anything up on the blog.The main reason being is that my new little apprentice (Dog the cat) wasn't computer trained when I took him in and would make it his mission to chase the onscreen mouse whenever I tried to do any kind of computer work. Or he would just want to sit on the keyboard and press combinations of buttons that would make my computer do weird things? Anyway, he's grown up a little bit now and understands how important it is for me to be able to use a computer to show you my work. I'll try and catch up with a few posts about what I got up to over the summer but for now I just wanted to share these new custom can sculpts I've been working on lately..

Each one is unique and sculpted onto empty depressurized spray cans before painting with spray paint and acrylics. These one of a kind customs have been taking over the studio over the last few weeks and some of these are currently available from my store at varying prices, depending on how long each one took to complete..Prices usually range from £25 to £40 per can.

If you'd like to own a MaaadCan for your own amusement you should head over to the STORE to see what's available at the moment. (other pieces and store links can be found on my website HERE) 

COMING SOON! There are more sculpts in progress on the work bench as well as a much smaller resin version of this concept that's almost ready for release.. so if you'd like a smaller hand painted resin MaaadCan the first 2 versions will be made available over the next week..Here's a little preview of those..

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.. CUSTOM RESIN GRAFFITI FIGURE

Another SkreenFace resin custom got finished up over the weekend.. Cast in four parts with magnets inside, this guy has articulation in his arms and head, also the wire can also be held in different positions which is fed through a hole in his hand..

Equipped with his can of 94 and an attitude to start a revolution, this 6 inch tall chunk of resin is a one of a kind piece which is now available from the store, along with a few other versions of this character..

GRAFFITI BEAST ORIGINAL PAINTING

This little beast was painted last week on an 85x65cm piece of reclaimed wood with spray paint and acrylic..Based on a few scribbles from the book and some one of a kind sculptures I've been working on recently, this piece is now framed and available from my Etsy store along with his friend, the similar styled GraffMonster.. 

I decided to make a short video of the process involved  painting this guy, which is something I might try to do more of in the future..What do you think? Would you like to see more of this sort of thing? Check it out and subscribe to my YouTube channel to stay up to date on any other videos..
