GARAMANIACAL

Me siento muy honrado de participar en este show que es un tributo a uno de los seres mas queridos y mas chingones jamas creado, GARAMON!

Si ustedes son fans de Ultraman,Godzilla y otros seres del estilo seguramente lo conocen, y si no, pues les aconsejo que vean la serie "Ultra Q" de 1966-67 en especial el episodio #13. por supuesto tambien el homenaje se extiende a Pigmon

El show cuenta con artistas y compañias de primer orden en el mundo del Kaiju, los monstruos, lo fantastico y lo extraño:

Astromonster, Plaseebo, Luke Temby de Cupco, Jeff Lamm, Gargamel, Luke Rook/Grody Shougun/Lulubell, Hellopike, Isabel Samaras, Paul Kaiju, Mark Nagata, el chingonazo de Jim Groman!, Josh Herbolsheimer, Leecifer, Toybot Studios, Rich de Mutant Vinyl, Atomic Mushroom y muchos muchos más!

EL show es organizado por FOE Gallery y Mike Nordstrom de Garamania sin duda el fan numero uno de Garamon.

February 10-March 4. Opening reception Friday, February 10 6-9pm.

Co-owner Jim Shea teams up with Michael Nordstrom of Garamania to curate GARAMANIACAL, an homage to the clunky, crusty, fish-lipped, oil-belching, high-rise-wrecking meteorite monster Garamon and his “recycled” alter ego, the friendly and excitable Pygmon. GARAMANIACAL will look at kaiju culture through the lens of these two iconic creatures, presenting information on the characters, the TV shows on which they first appeared, and the visionary artists who created them. As well, the gallery will be filled with an amazing assortment of contemporary art and toys inspired by Garamon and Pygmon

WINTER GNOME for Winter Salon @Stranger Factory • Chauskoskis

He is made with epoxy, cement, wood and acrylic paint. He stands 16" tall and 4 kilos! Massive guy! also it can be displayed without the legs and the cone alone looks pretty rad too. So far my biggest piece on the art toys scene. Totally thinking in make a smaller versions of this guy, so expect to see a little army of gnomes.

By the way... he is not mad at something the disgruntled face is not his fault, he just born like this.

El Winter Gnome esta hecho con epoxy, cemento, madera y pintado con acrílicos, mide 41 cms de alto y pesa 4 kilotes!

La piernas son removibles, puede parecer un poco bizarro pero me gusta como se ve el cono por si solo. En cuestión de art toys es mi pieza mas grande a la fecha. Definitivamente una version mas pequeña vera la luz así que preparense para un pequeño batallón de Gnomos enojados.

The Bronze Birdo • Chauskoskis

"The Bronze Birdo" Custom Swampy by Blamo toys for the 3rd Blamo Custom Show.

Most of the pieces of this show were wood pieces i was one of the few who choose a resin Swampy, Was hard to choose, certainly the wood one could be more true to the original but the Resin give room to explore a bit more. in any case i´m sure i want to try another custom swampy eventually.

Para el 3er Custom show de Blamo toys. Me dieron a escoger entre un Swampy de Madera y uno un poco dañado de resina.. el de madera era precioso y muy tentador pero decidi escoger el de resina porque así alguno de los artistas que no hacen escultura podrían trabajar mejor en el de madera. yo el de resina lo pude reparar sin problemas y le hice un cambio en el rostro. el cuerpo basicamente lo deje igual solo con el agregado de las plumas. Como no gane ni un premio de los toy awards me hice el mio :P
