THE THIRD VERSION.. NEW RESIN MASKEDMAN FIGURE

Over the last few months in the background of the desk of makings, I've been slowly doing stuff to create the third version of my character in resin,this guy.... the Maskedman.. 

Standing 7.5 inches tall this third version has 5 points of magnetic articulation allowing their feets, arms and heads to be turned and positioned. Each one has been hand finished with additional sculpting and given one of those mini Maaadcans to control..Painted with acrylics and finished with several coats of clear lacquer, the first finished four come with a matching color scheme mini canvas to hang behind the piece or stand on the easel supplied.

If you'd like to own one of these four figures they'll be available from my Big Cartel store this Thursday 11th May at 7:00pm (UK time.)

SPEAK LESS BUT SAY MORE

Seems as though a lot of so called art these days has to have a paragraph to explain why it's any good..I've never been a fan of the sort of stuff that needs explaining..If you look at it and like it, that should be enough without having to read a paragraph to decide..So this paragraph is an attempt to explain why I'd rather paint and create stuff without having to explain what I was thinking or why I felt the need to do it. Speak less but say more... I could have waffled on about a bit more about it's context and meaning, the many techniques used to paint this, the years of character development it's taken to freestyle this on canvas, but there's other writing I need to include below so I'll just skip to that..

  Measuring 16x40 inches, this piece was painted across two 16x20 canvasses which can be displayed with or without a small gap in between..Created with spray paint and acrylics, this piece took several late nights to contemplate and complete, and was finally finished, photographed and made available from the store today.. 

Featuring that guy "the Maskedman" silencing a loud mouthed Maaadcan that's plugged into his skull king mask, and my little cat apprentice "Dog" who goes out every night to mark our territory.

As I mentioned above, this piece is now in the store HERE.. Say no more!! Thanks for reading.

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..

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..

TAKE MY MIND AWAY..NEW PAINTING..

TAKE MY MIND AWAY

My latest painting to go in the store is this 20x20 inch acrylic piece about the other place my mind goes when it's doing what it likes best..Below is the initial idea for the painting, which developed from this scribble in my sketch book..

Please head over to the store to see this painting along with a few others in more detail..
