I know I said I wouldn't update anymore, but.....

Update #23 · Mar 29, 2012 · comment

There's only 5 days left on my new kickstarter project, which, in all honesty, isn't doing exceedingly well at the moment. So in a last ditch act of stupidity I've decided to offer up free sculptures to the first 100 backers. You don't even have to donate anything (except the minimum of 1 dollar). I'm not saying you're going to get Michaelangelo's David out of the deal, but you will get something cool for free. Also I made a new ridiculous video to go along with it.

Thanks again everybody. 

I love you all.

Just to let everyone know I've launched a new project focused around my creatures in the hopes of creating an epic animation. This project rewards all kinds of cool things including T-shirts, newly styled monsters, planter heads, and you can even help me decide on one last backer reward. 

Thanks again for everything. You are all awesome.

Hey guys! 

So I'm preparing to launch a brand new project including some wild sculptural planters and a whole host of my usual diabolical creations, but before I launch it I wanted to add a new element to the equation. Yesterday my good friend and photographer Dennis Andreas came by and helped me create a test version of a new animation technique for steel which I've been working on developing. The trial film was a huge success and over the next few days I'll be using this technique to create some wild new videos and even a kickstarter launch video. So check it out (I'm very proud)! 

Thanks again for all of your support. 

Without further a due here's the clip:

The Video! Finally!

Update #19 · Dec 25, 2011 · comment

I know it's been a long time coming, and I truly apologize for the delay, but the video of the first 100 or so pieces is finally complete. The music is thanks to Alex Dalton Marans' excellent band Gospels and I think it accompanies the video perfectly, so I hope you guys enjoy it! 

Also if you still haven't received your sculpture(s) and I haven't spoken to you personally about them, please let me know and I'll let you know their status.

Finally I plan on releasing a new and very different project (because to be honest I'm getting quite exhausted from making so many little sculptures), which I hope to make much more epic in the coming week or two. 

And here is the link! :
