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

Pop Surreal Sculpture by Craola & Kevin Pasko

 

Instagram has got to be one of my favourite ways to discover things that amaze and excite me, in real time, on a daily basis. A short while ago Greg "Craola" Simkins shared some of what he's been working on sculpturally for exhibition with friend and studio-mate Kevin Pasko

 

Kevin works in 3D Modeling and Sculpture for industry clients in gaming, toys and car manufacturing, but is also skilled with more Fine Art and sculpture.

We can see Kevin pays meticulous attention to detail and cleanliness in sculpting Craola's wonderful and surreal designs. As well as a creative eye for filling in "Turnarounds"- sculpting dynamically in-the-round.

 

 

 

"Stuck Outside" - Craola

 

I can see where elements of Craola's captivating surreal compositions and characters are coming together in dynamic 3-Dimensional forms. The digital sculpt above emphasizes the beautiful craning posture of the figure's neck.

 

Greg "Craola" Simkins is regularly posting beautiful new works to is IG @Craola and website.

You can find more of Kevin Pasko's digital sculpting on Instagram@Kevinpasko, on Tumblr or by inquiring kevin_pasko@yahoo.com

  I'll be watching for more artful sculpting like these, which could become actualized as rapid-print prototypes in the future!
