OVOK, you look like you've gained weight

2011-08-27T17:05:00.000-07:00

I've painted up several new OVOK sculpts! instead of resin, I've cast them in gypsum. yes it's true ovok has gained weight (the gypsum sculpts are almost twice as heavy) but they look and feel even nicer than the first batch.

anyways, table 523 come and check it out!

fresh new sculpts!

2010-07-15T17:19:00.000-07:00

so i've been playing around with different ways to make my little creatures. i've stopped selling the hand sculpted guys cause they were just too time consuming. instead i've decided to create molds of a few of my favorites and do a limited edition of each one. they're all hand cast in resin (by me), primed, painted, and ready to take home in their own little take out box! in reality this is probably just as time consuming, but i love the process of creating a little creature army, although i could do without the crazy toxic fumes. i'll have them at the renegade craft fair, and up in my etsy shop soon, so stay tuned!

renegade craft fair!

2010-07-04T09:21:00.000-07:00

I'll be at this year's renegade craft fair in san francisco! july 31-august 1. i'll have all kinds of goodies for sale, so if you're in the area, come on out!

oddFAUNA sculpts

2010-04-05T12:29:00.000-07:00

for fun and to get away from the computer for a bit, i started creating these little 2 inch creature sculpts based on some of my sketchbook doodles. They were a big hit at APE in SF last year, so i made more! it's sort of become an addiction.
