MACRODONS @ POPUP THREETEN !

Billy Zinser's MACRODONS series 2 figures & oil paintings will be part of the opening exhibition at POP UP 310 -a temporary art exhibition space in Dallas' West Village, run and curated by James Cope of The Goss-Michael Foundation and Brian Gibb of The Public Trust.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: POP UP 310 is an autonomous curatorial project that will serve as a platform for artists, writers, musicians and all things creative. Housed in what was formerly the Gardens retail space in the West Village, POP UP 310 is in essence a temporary pop up gallery showcasing and exhibiting artwork by emerging and established artists. With the space located in a retail center, the focus of the artwork will be on smaller works, prints and books, creating a gallery experience which is accessible to a broader range of art patrons. This model will also create opportunities for artists to experiment with ideas and materials that may not necessarily be shown in a commercial environment. At its core POP UP 310 is a work in progress, an ongoing project to be considered as an art installation it self.

What is aarting? Aarting is a Contemporary Art brand located in New York. Aarting exists to create high quality, limited edition art products from designs submitted and chosen by its members. Aarting is a true Democratic art form- one that is of, by and for the people.

Aarting's previous toy design is the 'Blankie' -designed for a competition to customize the figure, see the winning designs for series 1 & series 2 (soon to be released).

Also, the aarting blog is full of amazing design, art, toys, fashion, technology, etc... so check it out!

MACRODON 'XENON' -toy design

MACRODON #369 -'XENON' -final version.

xenon
1) 1898, from Greek, "foreign, strange," coined by its discoverer, Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916)
2) 'vacuum' -properly a loan/translation of Greek, 'xenon,' lit. "that which is empty." Meaning "a place emptied of air" is attested from 1652.

(as seen here, the circle in the sketch is actually a hole)

MACRODON 'BOGEY' -toy design

MACRODON #368 -'BOGEY' -final version.

as it can be seen, this MACRODON ended up with a more tubular variation on the skinny arm I started with, and I wanted to do something a bit different with his legs, so this will be the first MACRODON sculpt with 3 legs!)

MACRODON 'CROM' -toy design

MACRODON #367 -nicknamed 'CROM' -final version.
(I don't usually name each MACROODN, but I may start)

above is the unedited photo of the clay sculpt, the image at the top was edited to have a cool gray color, for a 'blank' uncolored neutral look. And below, I had a bit of fun testing some solid colors I liked:

upcoming projects - sneak peak #3

unlike the previous designs, MACRODON 369 started with this sketch
(whereas the others were 'sketched' first in clay)
