What this is for, I'm not tellin. :P But you can tell me if you like or dislike :D I can take the criticism. I know my work isn't perfect and these are extremely rough but its mostly conceptualizing as I move the pencil if you get my meaning. No I'm NOT going to tell you what the concept is! ...yet. lol Talk soon! Or later... probably more the latter.
** important note! Anyone that wants to get in contact with me during the hours of 9 and 6 Eastern time, Please pm me with your email address. I'd rather not share my address to the world so it will have to be that way. Unfortunately I do not have any access to any social networks at my job! eek! :D
keep em coming guys!
PS I do love the colors and they are definitely NOT too bright!
*I hate spelling errors, but hey.. I'm human!
So you ask, "Whats in it for me?" Hmmm, its a good question. Fame. I'll put your name on the caption of my vox blog. Not enough? If you're a person that has your own products, art or what-not that you sell, I'll add your link to my vox also. But seriously, I have a few items stored away (yes vinyl toys and such) that I'll offer up as the prize too! What it will be, I'll keep you posted on that.
Rules: Not too strict, but.. here they are.
- Follow the sizing for Vox banners (940 x 200 pixels) of course.
- It can be animated if you know how to do that, but its not required. It will need to be saved as an animated gif.
- No color restrictions, just make it so it will fit in with Vox's color schemes.
- Multiple entries are fine.
- Vox accounts are required to enter. All others will be rejected.
- Title should read: Vinyl Addiction.
- Subtitle: Toys, Art, Graphics & More! (note the change)
Thanks! I hope that you'll all have fun with this!
Recently posted on Dunny NL's site, a new toy in the development stage, for UME-Toys. From what I gather (the translation is kind of broken English on the site...) The Designer is Okkle, who recently also designed one called Birdlett. Okkle is presently super busy with creating a clean prototype for the Owl toy which looks to be about 3" tall. Check out images on Dunny NL!

Every now and again I see an outrageously well-done custom show up at Custom Toy Lab (CTL) and have to post about it here, so that none of you will miss out on the good artistry. :D The latest is a Labbit by Squidboy (aka Shawn Michael Evans). You can view more images on the CTL page (link). Also be sure to check out Squidboy's blog for more of his artistic oddities..
I just love the loose painted/doodled look of his designs. The child like doodles, the chunky painted colors all mixed up with the elaborately "stamped" lettering spelling out what seems to be "Jannie"... Just an awesome collage of colors and styles. Perfectly done, IMO.
Just came across this post on the Vinyl Toy Freaks forum. Not a brand new post, but still very much worth posting now, and hopefully it's new to some of you just like it was for me. :)
Artoyz will be releasing Bunka's Chaos Monkey come September, according to our friendly toy addict, Jimmy Foo in his post:
Now I agree with Jimmy's opinion, this is a very cool "tiki-like" design and I can't wait to see too, whether it is available as a blank diy version too.. :) Love the long arms and the stubby little body but I just can't get over the huge eye sockets!! so cool.. so much you could do with this as a canvas! Below you'll see a rendering of the toy in color too but still I hope a blank will be available.
....this is Bunka's first original vinyl toy and is due in September from Artoyz originals, it stands around 14cm (5-6"). I love the Tiki styling of this....here's hoping there's gonna be some blanks available cos i kinda like the look of this as it is....colour protos will be revealed at the Bread and Butter trade show in Barcelona around July 2nd - 4th.

See Brent Nolasco and his works at Toyqube booth (#4837).
Well its like the commercial, only I wasn't taking a bath.. lol. Its what Adobe Illustrator does for me when I have a few hours to mess around with stuff. Not that this particular image took that long! Just what I ended up with lol. Anyway.. hope you like it, I dunno what I'll name him but I think I'm kinda liking the li'l (big?) dude.
What is Tumblr or a Tumblelog? Here's what Tumblr has to say:
To make a simple analogy: If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks.
You can also look at tumblelogs as slightly more structured blogs that make it easier, faster, and more fun to post and share stuff you find or create.
