I was just on the MPH site, and their blog, and stumbled upon this excellent interview with Jeremy Brautman. Worth a read. I dig both MPH and Jeremy so this is good stuff.
(If you don't know about Jeremy yet, read the blog post for links to his website. Quality writing about toys, art, art toys, design and green cats....)

ServeEm aka
“C.A.N.1”, tried his hand at the tribal characters from Ace
Ventura 2, “When nature calls”. The little terror in the handmade basket
is Tommy Davidson’s character that Ace Ventura does battle with. Each
accessory is handmade from clay epoxy and painted with acrylics. These characters were made for the latest CTU trade. I reckon that Scott Kinnebrew (Forcess of Dorkness) will be very happy with this set!
When nature calls, Kracka 4 inch and Dunny 3 inch

Recently sent a package of Monster Kolor paint to Brian Ahlbeck of Dead Hand Toys... and sure enough, a week or so later we see these images popping up on his Facebook feed! Brian's resin sculpts are already really interesting and fun. He's got a dedicated group of collectors, and I'm a huge fan myself. But this recent addition of the deep, metallic, vibrant Monster Kolor paint in my opinion adds a new dimension of cool to his pieces. Great work. Looks like you'll be able to pick some of these up at the Dragatomi SDCC booth #4935.
Full disclosure: I am now repping Monster Kolor paint on behalf of Apex. That means I will be stocking the paint in our shop soon, and it also means other shops and retailers may order wholesale through me by emailing me at my Apex email address.

Charles Rodriquez has amazing sculpting skills and he shows this again with his latest custom on the toy platform Fonzo. He made this for the upcoming event of Freak Store (Venezuela). This custom is 6 inches tall and he certainly looks great. Keep in mind that this is not the finished product, he will add some more items to it. Since it looks so great, we have to show you guys this custom as a work-in-progress.
