"8 Bit and Beyond 2" Customs by One-Eyed Girl

Artist Kasey Tararuj, aka One-Eyed Girl, always creates some awesome in her own unique style. Kasey's latest customs, "Duck Hunter" and "Yosh and Baby", were created for the "8 Bit and Beyond: 2" group show at the Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Curated by Chogrin, the show centers around the video game characters. However, inspiration is not limited to the 8 bit realm of characters, hence the "Beyond". Kasey's "Duck Hunter" piece is inspired by an 8 bit video game classic, Duck Hunt. Kasey created the obnoxious dog and target duck using a 4" Bub and some great sculpting and paint work to bring the piece to life. This piece is priced at $200 and is going to initially be available at the Bottleneck Gallery during the show.

Kasey also created a second piece for the "8 Bit and Beyond: 2" show, "Yosh and baby". This piece was inspired by Kasey's favorite childhood video game, "Yoshi's Island". It features the character Yoshi and a baby Mario, which was created from a 4" vinyl Joe Ledbetter piece. Again, Kasey uses inspiration to create a well known character in her own unique style. This wonderful piece is priced at $175 and will also initially be available at the show. Opening reception for the "8 Bit and Beyond: 2" show is Friday August 8th from 7pm to 9pm. Those in the area should take a trip out to Bottleneck Gallery and support some great art.

"Rose and Sky" - Custom 8" McStomp Dunny by Jon-Paul Kaiser

 It's always great when a collector receives his/her commission from an artist. Not only do they get what could possibly have taken months, but the world also finally gets to see what's been created. One of Jon-Paul Kaiser's latest commissions reached it's destination and now everyone gets to envy this lucky collector. Jon-Paul was commissioned to create a custom based on a Jaeger from Pacific Rim, using a Penelelope McStomp 8" Dunny. Jon-Paul was excited to be able to customize, this already amazing, 8" dunny and he drew inspiration from the "Gypsy Danger" Jaeger. Jon-Paul named the piece "Rose and Sky", armed with power sword and battered shield. As with many of Jon-Paul's customs, Jon-Paul utilized the existing design, accenting curves and hard edges, while having a somewhat minimalistic design. Since the McStomp 8" Dunny also came with a 3" Dunny pilot, this custom would not be complete without a custom pilot. Another great custom produced by the steady handed Jon-Paul Kaiser. As with most customs by Jon-Paul Kaiser, the finished photos were taken by photographer Justin Allfree.

Sick Mr. Bigglesworth custom Mega Munny by AppleHeadToys

Mr. Bigglesworth has been locked up in the basement of the Georgia’s Insane Asylum located in Milledgeville. He was placed down in the basement and forgotten. No one knows for how long. No records can be found for this Mega Munny. He no longer speaks –unless provoked. 

Created with Sculpey, this Mega Munny is sure to be a topic of conversation. I can't believe the gruesome details here, like nose hair and boogers! Amazing. His mouth guard is attached to him because he likes to bite. A simple flaw; we all have flaws. Mr. Big’s straight jacket is customized and sewn to his exact measurements. Made out of 100% leather, his fasteners are vintage and are necessary for him to not be able to escape.

No need to brush his teeth or manicure those feet because he doesn’t mind being a little dirty. He doesn’t mind anything at all. Feel free to tell him your secrets. He won’t tell. You can always lock him up again.

Fun Facts:

• Face/feet made out of sculpey 
• Eyes are hand painted with resin seal 
• Straight Jacket: hand sewn leather w/ antique fasteners 
• Teeth made out of resin 
• One of a Kind 
• He likes to bite! 

Mr. Bigglesworth is for sale at the AppleHead Toys' website:

Pinhead from Hellraiser by Jon-Paul Kaiser

Jon-Paul Kaiser recently delivered a private commission to it's new owner and now everyone gets to wish they owned this wonderful piece. The collector wanted a specific character to be created, with no base in mind or even what the end result may look like. Lucky for the collector, as a child, Jon-Paul was a little obsessed with the film this character is derived from, Pinhead from Hellraiser. This got Jon-Paul really excited about the commission and creating the piece, however, Jon-Paul still did not have a working base.  After some time, Jon-Paul stumbled across the RealxHead x Ichibanboshi Ryusei Ninja figure, a Kaiju figure with a skull head that is available in a wide assortment of colors. Pinhead really shines in this piece and Jon-Paul picked a perfect base to start. Jon-Paul says that to meticulously insert and glue all of the pins took about the same amount of time as painting the rest of the figure. Time well spent, to create an awesome representation of a cult classic character. As with all of Jon-Paul Kaiser's work, the amazing photographs were taken by Justin Allfree.

Paul Budnitz on Kidrobot in 2003 in a Readymade Article - SLOBOTS.COM | Robot Artist Mike Slobot

Although this article is all the more sad, given the closing of Kidrobot's retail shops and their "restructuring," this 2003 article about Budnitz and the launch of Kidrobot in Readymade magazine is quite telling. It's a good read. Big thanks to Mike Slobot for finding the article again and scanning it into a PDF. Really fascinating snapshot into a particular point in time which is incredibly important to all of us toy collectors. Say what you will about Kidrobot (I certainly do)... in 2003 they were on the cutting edge and it was exciting for all of us. Link to Mike Slobot's blog post below, where you can DL the PDF.

Professorrix Please Paint More Toys

Instagram is super awesome, because not only do I not get solicited weight loss pills and housecleaning services in my feed all day, but I also find really cool creative folks- often with the help of other really cool creative folks. Sculptor @KevinPasko made me aware that painter @professorrix Aaron Rix would do well to paint more toys for us to enjoy.

Aaron is no stranger to painting, though this is the first time he's applied his skills and ideas to a vinyl toy- and it's beautiful. This Egyptian themed Kidrobot Trikky, titled "Jeweled Mummy Mau", looks like it should be behind glass in a collection of ancient artifacts.

If you're looking for a special custom addition to your collection, you can find Aaron at aaron.rix@gmail.com or follow along on Instagram @professorrix

Kickstarter - Mayor 4 Crack by Mindzai x Rodger Beck

Mindzai currently has a Kickstarter to produce a 5 inch designer art toy, based on one infamous Toronto Mayor. Cartoonist Rodger Beck and Mindzai aim to get the funding to produce this desktop figure which will include several interchangeable signs, each featuring a different statement. Currently, there are still a lot of early reward backer spots left at 40 CAD, which includes the original colorway of the figure to be produced. With reward levels as small as 5 CAD, every little bit helps move the project to being a success. Mindzai has mostly everything needed to go into full production, including the digital sculpting files, packaging, and wax moulds. All that's needed is some additional funding to get this hilarious figure into people's hands. Check out the video and pledge for a reward level.

The Kickstarter runs until August 20th and needs 12,500 CAD to be considered funded. Spread the word and lets get something better than Potato Salad funded and created.
