the end is nigh

So my list of outstanding commissions is finally nearing it’s end, and it really will be the end. I’m going to be taking a break from commissions for a while. I’m not sure how long a break yet, I’ll have to play it by ear. I’m reaching a point where I don’t need to take them. I’ll still do the occassional commission if it’s something really interesting, and I’ll still be doing shows as I see fit.

I have a lot of things that I’ve wanted to make for a while now and i need a little change of pace. Work has already begun on my first original figure which I’ll start posting pics of soon. If it goes well i have big things planned involving resin. I also have a few production designs in the works that will hopefully see daylight soon.

So I won’t be leaving the toy world, just going down a different road. I’ll keep both of you posted

new stuff in the shop

I’ve added a few new items to my etsy shop and I’ve dropped prices on some of the older pieces. I’m trying to clear out the studio so I’ll be dumping more things in the shop in the coming weeks. I have a handful of shows pieces returning to me this month that I’ll be tossing in there as well. Have a look

busy busy

I’m busy as ever, trying to wrap up commissions so the original figures can begin. Lots of cool things in the works, a few platform designs, a possible original sculpt. The end of 09 should be interesting.

I may start posting progress pics too, just so I feel like the site has some purpose. Here’s one peek, a koibito that I’ve been working on for a while. It’s close to completion. There was a lot of trial and error on this one. I’m not an engineer and moving parts are tricky

2 updates in one day?

i know it’s crazy. since i had it on my mind i added a few links to the other places to find me section. they’re all show pieces that still reside with the gallery. if you have money you’re looking to spend please check them out. even if you don’t buy my stuff, there’s other artwork available from those galleries. artists and galleries need support.

i’ll add more links as i remember them. peace out

impending update

I’ve been really busy as of late which explains the lack of updates, but I’ll have a decent update soon. Lots of shows coming up and my list of commissions is nearing its end. That means soon I’ll be able to make my own figures. Always keep an eye on my flickr since all my new stuff gets dumped there.

I’ll have an updated list of links in the next day or so. I’ve got a handful of pieces available on a handful of sites, and I’m sure some of you have money burning a hole in your pockets.

Thanks for checking in.

HAUNTED! Please take this off my hands. I do not want to have it go to waste, as I respect the supernatural and those who appreciate it.
I’ve had this stuffed wolverine for around 6 months. Recently, it’s been making noises in the middle of the night and in the morning, is in a different position. The eyes also sometimes blink if you stare too long.
Take it! The sooner the better! I can drop it off somewhere downtown if need be. Let me know. Absolutley no questions entertained.

The sale will start at 9 pm cst on Thursday June 18 and end at 10pm cst on Friday June 19th. I’ll be adding a few things throughout the week, so keep an eye on the shop and start scrounging pennies.

raffl raffle bo baffle

In an effort to empty my studio and in light of the current economy I’ll be raffling off some of the leftover customs I have lying around. Each ticket will cost $5 and the number of tickets available will vary with each figure.

First up is a member of the mutant army. He stands about 6 inches tall. 14 tickets available. You can buy as many tickets as you want. Just post a comment when you buy one.

Tickets can be purchased by emailing me at info@motorbot.net

Once he’s gone I’ll toss another toy on the block
