APW NYC Gallery: Custom Toy Exhibit

Opening this Friday, April 3rd @ APW NYC, marks the first custom toy exhibit at APW's new location and will include 100's of toys from many artists. Included in the exhibition are three new MACRODON figures (pictured above). So, if you are in the New York area be sure to stop by and check it out! MACRODON sightings are very rare, and this promises to be a fun show!

this is the first completed figure from the designs for #157
(here is the piece in progess)

this is the painted plastic figure of illustration #193,
from the cast of the clay sculpt, from design concept #159

and this last MACRODON is a new version from "series 1"
(some still available on Etsy + @ A.Okay Official)

180 + more (pencils)

Here is another set of designs for an upcomming MACRODON toy/sculpture.
It is based on this small 7" x 7" painting (available @ THE PUBLIC TRUST):




...which in turn spawned this MACRODON figure:

(A.OKAY OFFICIAL may still have some available)



Also, visit my ETSY store for more MACRODONS figures.

117+118 REVISITED

I re-worked and completely fleshed out #'s 117+118 since at the time all I managed to do was lay down their silhouettes. As you can see, they are illustrations of two of the MACRODON series 1 figures:

and in the online Art Prostitute store, as well as in Dallas at The Public Trust

117-118 part I

I am beat.

This is all I was able to manage tonite (in addition to MACRODONS 115+116).

These lumpy black shapes are pleasing in a way, but I am planning a reductive drawing this time -drawing with white paint instead of black as I typically do.
(similar to what I did for # 080, and sort of like # 086 also).

Also, these MACRODON drawings come from the figures/toys/sculptures I've made: www.macrodons.com

MACRODONS FOR PUMA
