BLAMO's 4th annual custom show

Tripping Daisy X Chauskoskis

This is my piece for the Frank Kozik Show, at 1AM Gallery in San Francisco.

Its 17" tal original sculpt obviously inspired in Kozik early poster work, its my take of one of his Devil hot chicks what came out of it its this weird looking devil (its a girl or a boy im undecided so even the name Tripping Daisy, kinda fits, its creepy, its transexual? and its RocknRoll!

 Roll the dice baby!

The killer line-up includes: Frank Kozik and posters and custom toy vinyls by Jermaine Rogers, the Print Mafia, Brian Ewing, Scrojo, Artmymind, Run DMB, Tim Munz, Grimsheep, JC Rivera, Gomi, Luihz Unreal, Kevin Gosselin, Igor Ventura, Map-Map, Ardabus Rubber, Lick Your Elbow, Chauskoskis, and Sergio Mancini.

Semi Korosiya (Cicada Killer) X Adam Saul C.A.S.T

Estoy tratando de recuperar tiempo perdido con varios post pendientes, hace meses no tengo un internet decente en casa, asi que se complica mucho estar al corriente.

Este es un proyecto que ya tiene mucho tiempo en proceso y hace meses termine mi parte, se llama Semi Korosiya, es una figura Kaiju, diseñada por Adam Saul y que será producida en Japón.

hice un prototipo en plastilina basado en dibujos de Adam, y después a esa se le hizo un molde e hice una copia en resina negra, a la que le di una pulida y detalles, posteriormente la envie a Adam, quien a su vez, la envio a Japon donde se encuentra es sus ultimas etapas.

Espero poder ver la pieza final muy pronto!


Hey guys! trying to put here a bunch of stuff that i miss or just don't have the time to post before.

So heres Semi Korosiya prototype i finish back in april or something like that, first i did a clay version, then i made a mold of it and cast it in black resin and fix up some details there, then send it to Japan for Sofubi production.

Semi Korosiya was created and designed by Adam Saul from Cop A Squat Toys, and hopefully late this year or early next one will be for sale.

Here's the clay original next to black Greasebat for size comparison

Awesome Bear by Phil Lumbang x Dragatomi Sculpted by Chauskoskis

Other Prototype work i did recently for the folks from Dragatomi, they will be producing the signature character from the artist Phil Lumbang, "Awesome Bear".

 It was recently shown at SDCC 2012 at the Dragatomi Booth, this figure for sure will be a huge success, and im glad to be part of it, this was a tricky sculpt to do, but i think it came out pretty...AWESOME! 

It have 2 points of articulation, no date informed yet for the release so you better keep an eye on Dragatomi site.

Antichrist 666 X Frank Mysterio X Botaz Negraz X Chauskoskis

Antichrist 666 is a character created by Frank Mysterio, sculpted by myself and financed by the 3 of us, (mostly by Botaz Negraz and Frank) It will be the very first vinyl figure by Frank Mysterio in case that is not good enough it will be made in Sofubi! Yes that means it will be made in soft vinyl back in Japan as only the Japanese Masters can do it!

Figure was secretly shown around SDCC 2012, so far everyone got only good comments about it.

Now im working on minor changes to make it easier to pull out of the molds. so expect some changes here and there. final pics soon.
Stay tune, as we will reveal release dates eventually.
And no... None of us is Satanists!

El Wooper Looper fue un éxito en SDCC como se esperaba! Además de la edición pintada Gary presento una versión más limitada, sin pintar y en vinil rosa, no solo fans se llevaron un Wooper en su botín de SDCC también varios artistas se llevaron el suyo, lo cual siempre es un honor para el creador del toy (y claro, para mi también) Los Wooper restantes ahora estan a la venta en este link: Tienda Gary , así que no se queden sin su Wooper y agarren el suyo antes que se acabe, recuerden son piezas limitadas que no se volverán a hacer en estos colores.

Gary Ham's sofubi Wooper Loopers unveiled, to be at SDCC

"It’s been said that I look like a lizard,
I’ve even been called a newt!
I’m neither or either, I’m my very own creature,
I’m a Wooper Looper! Woop Woop!

I have toes and I swim, I regenerate limbs,
I think the gills on my head are quite foxy,
Sadly, some people like to eat me, 
They fry me and pair with Sake.

I’ve traveled by air, by sea, and by land,
I’ll be yours, your new little chum,
This outcome you’ll see, as happy as can be,
Brought to you by Chauskoskis and Ham."

Wooper Looper is finally here on his first colorway!
After a long year of productions test and samples by the masters in Japan, Wooper looks so simple, but it give the factory big challenges, like the Gills, and the fingers and toes, mostly because of the small size of them, and the way the vinyl has to be pulled out of the molds, so they had to make some slight changes on the original sculpt here and there, but it came out fantastic, Sofubi toys have some magic, and the fact that each figure is different from one to another, flaws are beauty :D Really excited about having a Wooper in hand next week in SDCC 2012 grab yours fast because these little chums are going to fly out of the shelves!
