Pixel Hearts art show!

Finally finished my piece for Chogrin's #pixelhearts art show at #gallery1988 - featuring my fave heroes from the Super #Nintendo days: "Super NES Super Friends" - cardstock mounted to digital-printed wood #metroid #samusaran #legendofzelda #linktothepast #art #videogames

Okay... My bad.

Wow. Yeah, it's been a bit too long since I last undated my blog here! Sorry about that. I had way too much going on during the last half of 2015. Besides DesignerCon and all that work, I got married, went on overseas work trips, and have been busy at work otherwise. 

  

But whatever! You guys want to see art, so I'll cut the chit-chatty apology. 

Gremlins! I worked on these guys for a while, and sold out of all but one painted one at DesignerCon, thank you to those that picked one up! I want to do more and different versions, so stay tuned for that. 

Anyone's interested, I'll have blank and painted versions up on my webstore at ArtOfTimW.storenvy.com !

I'm not dead!

Hey ya'll, or at least the few that are still interested - didn't realize I hadn't updated my blog here in so long! 

I'll be having a table at #fanalley in just under a month, so if you want some toys and sculpts, come on down that way!

Three painted Micro Monsters!

Three still to go, but I'll be getting those from Michael at Play Dead Toys any day now. 

Micro Monster Mobs!

Getting my monster making on for DesignerCon! Going to hopefully have a few sets of these guys available at booth 901- some painted, some not, in case you have your own paint schemes in mind. 

Come on down and see the Micro Monster Mob at DCon!

(Insert Panicked Scream Here)

I think most people will know these characters and what theme I'm going for with them. Still have to add the Wolfman, and maybe one more...

WHAM!

This was a fun piece. I've loved Popeye, especially the brilliant Fliescher Brothers studio animated cartoons. So funny and well done, blowing away Disney animation at the time. 

 Anyway, this was for the official Popeye Anniversary art show at Hero Complex Gallery. One of four - not counting my artists proof. 

Wanted to do something fun, and show all the major players of the ol' Thimble Theater newspaper strip cartoons and the Fliescher animated shorts. Thought Popeye knocking Bluto out would be appropriate, then it just morphed into Popeye literally knocking Bluto right out of the frame. 

Another update...

Another piece! This one, of course, is a papercut homage to the incomparable Drsgon's Lair from Don Bluth studios. Done for Bottleneck Gallery's video game show. Daphne there was very very tiny. 

And another update!

I'll try to get caught up. Like I said, I wasn't just sitting idle. Though I bet some of you thought so. Shame on you. 

  Here's another piece that was shown at both Rothick Art Haus and Bottleneck Gallery for each of their respective video game themed shows.

The Keeper of Wisdom:

Wait, what?

Its been HOW long since my last update here? Whoa. Sorry about that. I've been kinda swamped lately, but I have been getting stuff done! For serious. 

  So first I realize I haven't shown the full piece of this:

Yup, you guessed right, that's a Metroid in a containment cylinder, from SNES Super Metroid. Showcased at Bottleneck Gallery in New York and at Rothick Art House in Anaheim CA. 

Gallery Works - teasers!

For those of you that check in from time to time, I'm not dead! No, just busy. I've been working on pieces for PopZilla's PopCade gallery show, a tribute to video games. 

So when the show is about to open I'll show the full pieces here, but for now here are some teasers!

Recognize what games they are all from?

Hope you like!

PopCade opens on May 10th at Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim, so if you can, stop on down - it's going to be a huge show!

My gallery piece at Van Eaton Animation Gallery!

Mr. Peabody and Sherman in "when to today, Mr. Peabody?"

The shadow box paper cut out piece has blinking lights, an electric generator effect, and two spinning elements. Best part is it sold! I think I'll do another motorized shadow box sometime...

Sheelah at DesignerCon booth 826!

Thats where I'll be, booth 826 at DesignerCon this coming weekend. I'll have some new customs for sale (coming soon!) and sculptures on display if you're curious to see. Hope to see you folks there, come and say Hi.

The Sheelahs are multiplying...

I wish it was as easy as pouring water on the master prototype to get more of them, but it's not... Anyway, there are about a dozen of the girls nearly ready for DesignerCon, and then more after for those not at the show. 

I'll show pics of her in her packaging very soon.. 

Revamped, redesigned, resculpted SHEELAH!

It's been a while since my last update, but I haven't been just sitting around! Nope, some things I've been working on I can show you, and others I can't. This one though, I can - the redesigned and resculpted (with the digital wizardry of Tim Jones) Sheelah custom platform toy. I really like how she came out and I'm happier with her than the last version. I'll be trying to cast her up and have some available at DesignerCon this year, and maybe a custom or two that I've done of her, with luck! 

Let me know your thoughts about her!

Scott Tolleson's Bitta Critta

Since Scott unveiled Bitta this past weekend, I got the go ahead for posting pics of the WIP and finished sculpt I did for it - so here they are! Hope folks will like how it came out.

A few more GizmoDuck shots

These shots were taken just before the SteamPop gallery show, and I had added the smoke exhaust.

Link for Game On! at 1AM gallery addition!

After showing a friend the Link micro-munny, she asked "where's Navi?"
...
Well, dammit, I had to make Navi. So it's just a little addition to the toy but I like it!

Link micro Munny for 1AM gallery - Game On!

Had to work on him quick but he's finished. Link from my favorite game series, Legend of Zelda, for the 1AM gallery in San Francisco. Im really flattered to be asked to join the show!

Their next show, Game On! is all video game inspired and I'm looking forward to seeing what the other artists are doing!

New Year and New Sculpture!

Happy New Year all. Hope '13 has been lucky for you all. It's been lucky enough for me, with one minor good thing right here- finally finished my GizmoDuck sculpture for the collaborative steampunk themed gallery show, SteamPop, that I'm showing in. I might add some smoke coming out of his smokestack, but otherwise, this is it for the piece. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
