Photos of my piece for the upcoming show “INLE” at Gallery 1988

Below are images of my piece for the upcoming “INLE” show at Gallery 1988 curated by Greg Simkins. The mixed media sculpture, “Watership Down Syndrome”, is about 17″ x 10″ x 17″.

It is titled for my friend Chris who mistakenly went and saw the movie (as a very young child) when it originally screened in the theater. To this day he is terrified of rabbits.

Below is the segment on Alcove Gallery that I was in that aired a couple weeks ago. I thought I would pull the clip for all the non-Atlanta folks.

In the background you can see some of the pieces from the Shady Characters show. I hope you enjoy.

The kind folks over at Toy Break interviewed me while at DragonCon for their weekly tv show! I’m a bit behind with posting this on the site, but wanted to share it. Click on the image below to see it.

They also opened one of my custom dunny blind boxes on their latest episode! Click on the images below to watch the episode.

Thanks George, Ayleen & Spencer!

Thanks for all the Press!

I wanted to thank all the fine folks that have been giving me great write ups on my custom Teddy Trooper “Shaman of the Vulturites”. There has been a ton of coverage and some really awesome compliments. I’m gonna start out with Flying Fortress since he created the Teddy Troop, then I’ll go through it alphabetically. I hope I got everyone, if I missed you please hit me with an email and I’ll be sure to get you on the list. Thanks everyone!

Flying Fortress – “Teddy Trooper with the vulture is NUTS! Great great custom work!

Blindboxed – Review shows a lot of progress pics to get a better idea of my process.

Clutter Magazine – “I think it looks awesome! The detail is amazing, especially on the helmet! Wow is the word.”

Delicious Drips – Review shows a lot of progress pics to get a better idea of my process.

SpankyStokes – Brian keeps creating some amazing customs and his latest “Shaman of the Vulturites” is no exception, this is a truly impressive piece of art.

Toycutter – Shows finished pics.

ToyCyte – “Mr. Colin is forcing me to step up my own customizing skills if I hope to even remotely compare to this kind of stuff.”

Toysrevil – “The custom radiates a very strong Dark-Crystal-vibe for me – and that’s a good thing – and is both hauntingly attractive to look at, and at the exact same time, a feeling of uneasiness,as if the hidden eyes (beneath the mask) is staring right back at you.”

I won the Delicious Drips Custom Contest!

Delicious Drips just ran an online custom toy competition. It was open to any custom toy, so I entered my “Riding the Worm” piece. Big thanks to the DD judges for picking my piece for first prize! I’ve only seen 2 other pieces in the competition 2nd & 3rd place both great customs by really talented folks, Southerndrawl & tyleR.

I can’t wait to get my 10″ MadL prize to see what I do with it. Thanks Delicious Drips!
