Big C Baby Fatts for Five points

Big C is pulling out all the stops for his booth, with Playful Gorilla, at Five Points Festival.  The last 3 years we've followed Baby Fatts and the tremendous amount of energy and hard work Big C has put into his cute baby dragon.  He's done everything from conceptualizing, to sculpting, to self funding, to group shows including top artists like JPK and Scott Tolleson.

Big C is using booth 427 as a huge East Coast introduction to Baby Fatts.  On Instagram @Baby.Fatts and @BigC.art we've already seen Baby Fatts snapbacks, as well as the new children's book Baby Fatts: the World's First Dragon, which will both debut at Five Points, but now we are excited to announce that there will also be 2 different Baby Fatts resin releases.

Big C has teamed up with Clutter magazine to bring you the Baby Fatts DTA gold release. There will only be 5 pieces available.

Finally Big C is bringing 1 red infected Baby Fatts collaboration with Scott Wilkowski.  This is a chance for 1 lucky collector to grab their grail. 

Hurry to booth #427 for Baby Fatts pieces, the rest of Big C's beautiful artwork, and some amazing pieces from Playful Gorilla.

Coarse Toys Paw Golden God custom from Big C

A group of archaeologists found a glowing stone, while traveling through the jungle overnight.  The next day they realized that this mysterious stone belonged to a giant statue dedicated to the golden god.  During the excavation process, one of the workers was mortally wounded, and as soon as the first drop of blood hit the statue, the statue awakened, as the stone turned to gold. This piece represents the golden god, mid-transformation.

Big C has done it again, this time using his talents to transform a Raw Paw (Coarse Toys) into the Golden God. I love the way he captured the effects of aged stone that has been sitting in the jungle, partially covered in moss and dirt.  The transition from stone to gold is seamless and the greenish eyes and blood give this piece just enough color to make it pop.  Oh....and did I mention that it glows?  The glow on this piece is amazing.

Big C created this piece for his own personal collection, but he is willing to field offers.

Big C Reveals Custom King Korpse # 2: Rancid Meat

They captured the Kong and tried to fuse his skeleton with a pearlized metal, but something went wrong.  He broke free but his condition is getting worse. Now he's just Rancid Meat.

Big C has done it again, putting his touch on the beautiful King Korpse, by James Groman and Insticntoy. He left just enough unpainted space for the original blue glow to show, and the gory details are amazing.

This piece was a private commission for the same collector who purchased the Reanimated King Korpse. This means that Big C will have both pieces on display in his booth at Five Points, before shipping them to their new home.

Gorgeous Custom Painted JRYU Clairvoyant Dunny by Big C

Big C has revealed his latest work: a custom painted JRY*U 8" Clairvoyant Dunny. C writes that he paid "painstaking attention to detail to each flower, snake scale, and filigree" to make the intricate sculpture on this piece pop.

The custom is available on Big C's site BigCisME.com now.
