Mothers Day, Weird Balls, Sleestak, Miscreant creatures

Hey everyone sorry I've been away for so long. I feel like I've abandoned my child in a dark alley with only a cracker and a maggot filled piece of ham to eat. I've been busy as hell in the artwork department so I have a bunch of new sketches for your peepers. I might have to limit my blog time to one or two a week though since I might have a job pretty soon. I went in for an interview and they want me to come back so what do you say in that situation? Break an armpit or sumpin.

I just wanted to say happy mothers day to all you mothers out there and to all you mother fu@#ers out there happy mother @#ckers day to you as well.

since I've been gone awhile ill just tell you some of the movies i watched and not get into descriptions about them. I watched movies such as Phantasm (always a great experience), Terror Firmer (oh my god this movies insane - therefore i loved it), Silent Hill (always good no matter how many times i watch it), Satans Little Helper (One of my favs), Tales from the Crypt season 4 (awesome!! i love horror anthologies), Godzilla vs mechagodzilla parts 1 and 2 (love that lizard), plus a bunch more but i digress.


i will add a couple figures today to make up for the lack of presence on here lately.
the first one is a "Weird Ball" action figure Bone Head by Mel Appel Ltd. made sometime in the 80's. He stands about 6 or 7 inches tall and is articulated in the arms, legs and head. These action figures are extremely rare. So rare in fact that I've only seen 2 of them once on ebay and i now own them both. Truly a treasure in my collection.


The next figure i will show is not really a figure but a bank with a removable head and articulated arms. It's the Sleestak from land of the lost made by Funko in 2007. I bought a bunch of sculpy because I wanted to make a sleestak figure but then this came out so I had to get it. Now I can use the sculpy for a Dr. Twistid figure. anyway he stands about 12 inches tall and is pure awesome. I love the Sleestaks.


Now on to the sketch of the day. Here is another little grouping of creatures from the deepest depths of my morbid mind. Partake of their strangeness.

Have a great day kiddies I'm off to the wife's mothers for some good eats.

Tampa Bay Florida and surrounding area artists READ THIS!!!!

I am gathering local artists for an Art After Dark show at the Tampa Museum of Art. The show is Friday, October 17th 2008 and will have a Halloween theme.
The Time is 8pm until 11pm.
Dressing up in a costume is highly recommended.
There will be a bar and a DJ so come ready to party.
There is no censorship of art but art must be themed correctly - Halloween, freaks, monsters, creepy. You get the idea. Art can be Paintings or crafts such as jewelry, sculptures etc... you can also sell prints of your works.

These are the rules:
1) Artists will be allowed to sell artwork and keep 100% of their proceeds. TMA does not get involved in any transaction.
2) Artists must provide completed works of art to the museum on October 16th before 5pm. They must be ready to hang either with wire or D-rings. Artists bringing table displays may set-up beginning at 5pm on October 17th.
Artists must provide label copy attached to each work. Copy should include Name, Nationality, Birthdate, Title of Artwork, Date of Completion, Material(s) of Artwork, Price
3) Artists will be given two complimentary entrance tickets - one for them and one for a guest. For everyone else the entry tickets will be $10.
4) TMA produces 5,000 4x6" full-color cards that are distributed in 8 South Tampa Starbucks locations, at the museum, and through the artists involved. We e-mail the information to over 3,000 members of the museum and press so there will be great exposure.

Contact Info:
I have room for around 13 artists, maybe a couple more if you don't care that your art is displayed on an easel.
If you are an artist and are from the Tampa Bay area or know of anyone from the Tampa Bay area you can contact me via my email bringeruvdeth@hotmail.com. Use tag line "Interested in Art After Dark Show". You can send me links to your gallery or a few examples of your work. Let me also know the sizes of the pieces so I can calculate the space needed. I will let you know either way if you are in or not. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry and contact me because I'm sure the slots will fill up quick.
