So... how is this guy NOT getting taken down by Lucas arts and hasbro for trademark infringement?

I've thought about having Sucklord do it but I'd have to rework the feet to fit the blister. LOL. For now, I like having him loose.

Very cool, no package?

[SeattleEd]

No worries. LOL. I'll see if the link is alive.

Yup...it is:

Sorry, I forget my own name most days.

Share with the rest of the class? Have I seen this?

You did. I think I sent you a pix a while back.

I showed him my custom Mego SalarayStak and he really liked it.

Cool. I haven't had a chance to catch Ep 3 yet. It will be interesting to see how the judges react to his signature style given how the judges brutalized the poor girl last week for trying to stick to her comfort zone.

It looks like what little we saw of his Carny rat toss last week was pretty mediocre as well within the context and theme, but he was spared a crit by being on the winning team. He does seem a bit limited by the format of these contests so far... A true suckled Carny show would be much more like his performance art at Sat a venue like SDCC where he lays down his wares on Chinese newspapers like an old lady hustling to selling vegetables on a street corner of a local Chinatown for example.

Also, if any of you guys are in Pasadena, Ca Nov 5th, DesignerCon is happening. He will be there with new drops.



If anyone is going, PM me!

What does he make these out of?

Those look like resin. He just does straight i, 2 or 3 piece molds of objects but his stuff has been getting elaborate lately. Needs to pull back the throttle and go back ghetto bootleg style.

Sweet!

Looks like the 8" Mego bit him now.
I showed him my custom Mego SalarayStak and he really liked it. I told him about the Museum so he must be lurking on here.
I was hoping he would delve more in the 8" format or maybe have BBP release some of his characters in 8" format limited edition complete with artwork.

He choked on the challenge, though, I was surprised. Like he said, not enough sarcasm or message. Anyway, he'll make for some interesting viewing, and he'll just sell more toys.

He really did given what folks probably already know about his existing body of work. He seemed to have a way too precious view on the original (rather than transforming it), and it even lacked his usual self deprecating tone. He didn't even try to defend the merits of the original work as much as he should have by being so beholden to it. I'm surprised he didn't go the action figure/packaging route, although he might have been at a disadvantage knowing how time consuming making molds and casting are. Not having his usually stock pile of existing action figure body parts probably didn't help either.

Surprising that he didn't add his usual pimp or gangsta accessories to Gandalf. I'd guess it's also hard to create that sense of commodifying junk culture within the context of a non-commercial gallery. Much of his message and style has been all about the selling of remixed junk culture... which is much more obvious within a Soho gallery show that actually sells the work on display.
