Post-It Slinkies!

EepyBird's Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.

Saw this on Gizmodo and had to share it with Sketchbot readers. (Ok, so I also wanted to try embedding a Vimeo link into a blog post) ;)

Pictoplasma NYC Begins Tonight

Just a quick reminder - PICTOPLASMA NYC begins with a party tonight, followed by two days chock full of speaker presentations and character animation screenings Friday and Saturday. I'll be attending both days, so if you happen to see me in between presentations, hit me up for a Sketchbot sticker!

Custom Groond up on JoyEngine

Guess the cat is somewhat out of the bag... ;)

My Photoshop mock up is on the upper right corner.

Soft and Furry Sneak Peek

Here's a little peek at my entry for the Soft and Furry show.

Upcoming Show - Cypher13's Soft and Furry

No sleep for us customizers - next show up is Cypher13's Soft&Furry show at Plastic Chapel in Denver, CO, featuring Looft, Doo, and Groond. I only had time to do one, and picked Groond. The show is September 13th, and I'll be sending my entry out in a few days. Stay tuned for some sneak peaks...

House of Liu Custom for APW Gallery Show

Here's my piece for the APW Gallery "House of Liu" Custom show taking place tonight.

More pictures up here, and at APW's site here.

Custom Sharky Completed!

Yes, I like to push the envelope. The envelope in this case being the deadline for ToyQube's 4th Anniversary show, which is tonight! It's all cool, though - I got the go ahead to drop off my Sharky at the venue later this afternoon while setup occurs. Hit my Sharky Flickr set for a bunch more pics, including work-in-progress shots.

Face Your Manga!

Sharky Concept Art

The week-long lapse in posting is due to cranking on my Sharky custom. It's getting down to the wire and I'll be starting the final paint Wednesday afternoon. (I tend to work great under pressure)

Everyone's either posting sneak peeks or finals of their Sharkys. Here's some amazing pieces posted by Bil Betsovic, Cris Rose, kaNO, Nakanari, Reactor 88, Smallandround, Kerry Lee, Hans Yim, and Rebel Wookie.

I'm going to continue to tease ya'll and instead, post my concept sketches. I'm neither confirming, nor denying, that any of these made the final cut. I'll most likely post the final on Friday morning, so check back then. ;)

Upcoming Custom Shows

Just a quick post to announce two upcoming shows I'll have pieces in:

The first is ToyQube's 4th Anniversary Party, to be held at the Sullivan Room in NYC on Friday, August 15th. I'll be one of over 50 artists (they've got me listed under an old screen name, Sketchguy) modifying a Sharky vinyl figure, designed by ToyQube's Keith Poon.




One week later (8/22/08) is Veggiesomething's "House of Liu" Custom Show at APW Gallery.



Also, the Sketchbot prototype is being reaccessed as I move forward obtaining quotes from manufacturers. I've been pretty busy since returning from Comic Con, but I'll try to post some sneaks of my Sharky custom next week.
