Patrick Wong's "Water Snake" 5"

by
Patrick Wong "Water Snake" 5" Toy2R Toyer Mini Qee Custom
This new custom by artist Patrick Wong is produced to celebrate the new Chinese New Year this February 10, 2013 - the Year of the Snake. This upcoming year the cosmic element is water and this is combination of animal and element is used for the design of this Mini Toy2R Qee Toyer figure.

People born in the Year of the Snake are reputed to be thoughtful and wise and to approach problems rationally and logically, seldom instinctively. Such people are complex beings, they are clever and men of few words from their birth.

Shadoe Delgado's new Custom Tequila

by
 
Shadoe Delgado has really done it this time- his new custom Tequila is sure to blow you away. Shadoe's custom toys have been moving in a sculptural direction, and these removable wing additions and protruding mask take the Tequila platform to a new plane. While he's recognizable for his use of mask imagery, this is a new type for Shadoe, coming farther forward in 3 dimensions than his other mask work. It's great to see his work continue to develop and exercize new possibilities.
 
Shadoe's attention to detail is impecable- he has even lined the accompanying custom painted Poncho with leather to protect the body from scratches.
 
 
 
 
 
Shadoe has been carefully constructing ways of removing prodruding pieces like those wings via peg systems, which can be viewerd in Work In Progress photos on his Instagram @shadoedelgado
More of his work can be found here , or drop him a line directly at shadoedelgado@gmail.com
 
Shadoe's making a move to a new studio location, so if you're interested in commissioned work he has details about timeframes and availability, if you drop him a line by email above.
Keep it up Shadoe!

All Stitched Up by Carson Catlin

by
Another hottie for the Art Without Borders show, this time from Carson Catlin!





All Stitched Up was created for the "Art Without Borders" show being put on by Art Whino. The challenge was to create something based on a medical theme. My choice was to use the 8" dunny platform with the iconic red cross on its head. The cross was extracted along with all the other pieces. A coat of red paint inside with a bright white exterior followed along with a medical theme. To tie it all together I used red thread and reattached the red cross from earlier. One my favorite pieces. It will retail at $600.00 USD (a portion of the proceeds will go to Doctors Without Boarders) at Art Whino on February 23rd.
