Sugar Fueled's Sweet Success

 As the show comes to an end, the acts retire for the season & the vendors begin to pack up what's left of their delicious treats. Every buttered kernel of popcorn, every salted pretzel, every treat imaginable  gets thrown into the trailer...except for one. Far off into the darkness lies a forgotten spindle of the most delicious, hand spun cotton candy this side of the west coast.

Our confectioner for this evening was none other than the one and only Sugar Fueled." A Little Dirt Never Hurt" came to NYCC as a themed piece for PiQ's " Cirque Du PiQ"

  

This sugary maven used this opportunity to really connect to the audience by giving us a little piece of him. The spindle is a retired paintbrush of the artist; one that was used to create other magnificent pieces such as Spun with Love, Your As Welcome As Can Be, Belle and many many more. Adding this piece to your collection is more than adding just another custom; it's completely engulfing you to a simpler time. One reminiscent of the days of old.

Dissected Labbit Custom by Jon-Paul Kaiser

Jon-Paul Kaiser has been completing custom pieces non-stop, so much so, that Jon-Paul forgot about this beauty here. Based on an older Dissected Labbit, or Bone Bunny, Jon-Paul customized the entire piece. Painted last year, the outside is a besuited gentleman Labbit, complete with monocle and lit cigar. On the inside, lost souls weave within the skeleton of this dapper Labbit. Of course, expect to see more amazing customs from Jon-Paul this year. Photography is by Justin Allfree, Jon-Paul's favorite photographer.

"Luke is Street Art" - Custom Luke Chueh Target by Bashprojects

Artist Bas Petter(aka Bash), of Bashprojects, recently put up for sale a custom Luke Chueh Target, titled "Luke is Street Art". Overall, the piece represents Bash's work very well. Using both the wall and figure to create a Koi mural is very creative. Most custom Targets treat the wall as a background and the figure itself as a separate character. Bash decided to combined the two separate pieces into one, with his design based around the story he created to go with the custom:

Luke wanted to know what Street Art was all about. So he asked Bash to take him with him on the street to teach him.

"Street Art isn't something that can be taught! You are the art..."

Bash took Luke to a wall and asked him to stand really quiet and close his eyes so that Bash could explain what he meant with "you are the art".

After standing there with his eyes closed for a hour he received a paintbrush with black ink...

"Now you can finish the outline for me."

Luke opened his eyes and finally understood... he IS the art!

 

Even with the small bit of added sculpt, the design is a little on the simple side for the price point. For reference, an available piece that is much more involved sculpting and paint-wise: Bert the Beaver and his Wooden Labbit Home is selling for 250 Euros plus shipping. Keep in mind that the Bert the Beaver custom involves 2 figures, a 10" labbit and micro Munny, both of which are painted and sculpted pretty well.

"Luke is Street Art" is priced at 300 Euros plus shipping, depending on location. With Bash being based in the Netherlands, shipping to US will run collectors 26 extra Euros, for a total of roughly $436 USD. Factoring in the price of the initial figure, pricing for this piece should have been somewhere around $300 USD plus shipping. That conversion rate will bite any US collector trying to purchase a piece from an overseas artist. Bash does have many other pieces available as well, including several smaller Dunnys.

Love it that this guy is bringing some goodness again!

The Labbit is 5" and entitled Frankenlabbit.  Did some heavy sculpting on this Frankenstein inspired custom.

The Munny is 4" and entitled: The Vegetarian Zombie -No brains for this guy, he'll take a nice salad over that any day of the week! Painted with acrylics and includes carrot accessory.

 

Lastly is a resin piece called Minus Mouse (stands around 4 1/2" tall x 3 1/2"), shown in the raw form and unpainted.  I will be releasing 7 hand painted ones first and possibly some blanks, clears and gid in future versions.  It was sculpted by myself and cast by Manny Romero (Manny X).

Bert the Beaver and his Wooden Labbit Home by Bash

Awesome Munny Munth entry by Bash...

Bert the Beaver was fed up with the river after a tsunami destroyed his dam. He decided to move to the woods.

After a long walk he came across a huge garden full of pink berries, strange wooden statues and a old house. The wooden statues looked like petrified creatures. He found all sorts of creatures: a giant rabbit with big hands, a little troll with a jackalope on his back... but then he found it...

He found his new home!

Bert carved a hole in the giant wooden labbit and made some furniture for his new crib.

The new house is so amazing, it even has its own supply of berries growing for the backside! But there are two things that he doesn't understand: Why are all these creatures turned into wooden statues and who lives in that old house?
