Ume-Toys OWL

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!

Hi ppl! 

I need your help.  I haven't been on this blog for so long, I'm sure I've lost a ton of you by now as watchers.. but anyway.. Its gotten kind of overwhelming for me, to keep this up, but I want to do so and have decided I need to change the direction of this vox.   I want to work on something that I can update less often but have enough content to interest ya all so my question to you is, what would ya'll be interested in seeing here related to Art, Art Toys, Vinyl, resin..etc?  Something I can post perhaps once a day being the most frequent? 

Talk to me, I don't write (most of) this stuff to hear myself think! :)

I just thought it would be funny to post this for all of you people (if there are any left since I've been quite absent lately) that follow my blog..  As you know many many months ago I posted Skullboy the image below.  If memory serves, I also had posted sketches of the progress shots and everything, and considering it is very similar to all of my other design work, I believe (tell me if I'm wrong) that it really reflects my own personal style.  In no way, do I think it is a ripoff of anyone's style, at least, I hope not... In any case, the design is 100% s4ndm4n's and I was amazed and shocked to get the following comment on the image..

you ---------- robbing bastard that sketch was done by me not you.

you jumped up little ---- so that it of istockphoto NOW !!!!!!!!!

and never copy one of my sketches again is that clear you little ---- up

Better luck next time all the best Danny Dees

I found it humorous to see someone trying to lay claim to one of my own designs and frankly I'm flattered that someone would find it valuable enough to pull that kind of crap.. lol  Why? Because if it wasn't a decent design in the first place no one would care right?  Well cool.  Since I know that I truly did the work, well umm, that can't be taken  not matter how many times someone cries "Thief" about my own work.  :)  Just for the record, these are the images straight from my hard drive including the original SCANNED sketch.  Enjoy the humor guys..

Ok posted just recently, an image of wave 2 of the CPK (Cell Phones Kill) series of DIY resin figures.  They look pretty good to me, but the coolest part is they mention something about another surprise coming... hmmmm... also it looks like if you submit your designs, they'll start posting em on the blog!  Who knows what else is coming...!?

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. 

Charlie, the creator of the cool little creatures called saucernauts is apparently planning to drop a bomb on us.. here is a little sneak peek... Can't wait to see more!

Please note that this is a work in progress...details on what it is, where it came from, etc to follow.

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. :)
