Toy Art Gallery’s Resin Toy Show opens June 10th, 2011 and I have a few Gompers in the show. I’m making a few Podlings to bring with me to trade. My hope is that the other artists will bring a few toys to trade: art for art. I also hand cut a block print so that each Podling has a hand printed trading card. Here is what the Podling card looks like. I don’t sell Podlings because they are so much work. I keep them for trade only. I have to rotocast each Pod by hand, which means rotating the mold for 12-15 minutes until the resin cures hollow. You see, solid toys are easy, you just pour it full of resin and walk away while it gets hard. Hollow requires so much time and attention. I just turn up the tunes, and rock out while I make Pods one at a time. Bonkers.

Mothman Flatwoods Totem
sad silence
Every once in a while a giganic kaiju battle takes place in my back yard. Now that I have a whole collection of vinyl toys by Jeff Lamm, characters like Greasebat, M5 Bravo, and Stee-Gar come and go at will. Hark! I can hear them now grinding each other into the rubble.
