Tommy and his Little Gas Mask

HIIIIIIII!! I'm back after a new year break, and this is my first main project of the year....

I've been commisioned to make a doll of this character, for a writer. He's called Tommy and, well, he's got a little gas mask. Check out this awesomely bizarre video on youtube:

There is also, randomly, a band making really dark and brooding music over at:

 I think I'll make the doll free-standing and fairly simple. He'll have flexible arms and I might try to make a real leather gas mask.... yeah good luck with that junk!

This is a great little project and I'll post my doll on here a s soon as it's finished. If anyone lese has any projects for me, let me know!

Scott Radke is a genius

I got to admit I don't know too much about this guy, but just check out his website gallery: Amazing! He creates the most beautiful and disturbing sculptures. They have a really surreal and disturbing quality, and I'll be posting much more of his work on here soon.

Check out his gallery!

The art of Dan May

I first came across this great artist in a pop surrealism magazine. Dan spends his days (and nights) painting dreamlike environments that transcend space and time. These delightfully haunting images are often based in personal observations of both human’s and nature’s relationships with each other. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout the US and abroad.



I love his drawings especially. The delicate, lovingly drawn characters evoke emotions deeper than just whimsy and intrigue. They are genuinely beautiful in their own right, and the cross between imaginary doodlings and wonderfully silverpoint drawings by the old masters is a really magical, dream-like combination. I think these are superior to his Dali-esque landscapes, even though those are pretty freakin cool too!
