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.

I'm not really crazy about any of these except "Pirate Queen", I'm one of those people that paints better than she draws oddly. Also started getting back into the swing of fashion illustrations, that comes pretty easy I guess, and am debating about taking up gouache -- since I hate watercolor -- but have been told it is equally annoying and difficult at times.
Full Wave 2 group and a nice "surprise" up next (what the hell could that possibly be?). Rumor has it the colorways are bitter enemies and will fight to the death (and will be a very limited run). VIA
Bill did a VW Bus model awhile back and its just so freakin cool i thought I'd do a feature on it for today.. :D Bil Was nice enough to stop and answer just a few more questions for me.. have a look..
Tell me about the VW Bus design you did. What was the inspiration for this?
Awesome dude. You did a Grooovy job with that... Man.
the design was for Aaron at Swearbears.com he needed a hippie van done for his Bong Bear display,he sent over a few photos of the bong bear design and swearbears grateful deadish logo and basically said i could do whatever else i wanted it just needed those 2 things for sure...other than that i TRIED to hippie it out as much as possible with the shrooms,flowers,etc.I also HAD to put at least one bunny on there! and the license plate was from dazed and confused i remeber that was on somebody paddle...
So of
course you had to add your bunny to that, and we can understand that.
What about the rest of the Excellent Woodstock-Inspired design? Did
you pull from your actual memories of years gone by as a youngster (or
were you too young during those days), Or is that just inspiration
driven by your memories of the Partridge Family and such? rofl.
aww come on! GET HAPPY! They'll make you happy... ... ... sorry..
thanx man! um i got inspired by google search for hippie vans hahahahaha,saw a few just covered with PEACE,LOVE etc...lots of flowers so i just kinda went at it my own way,im WAY to young to remember anything but SOME of the 80's at the earliest lol....def NO partridge family for me hahahahahha maybe a lil brady bunch but no partridge fam...
Ok ok too young for the 60's like me.. Love the flower headlights and the shrooms dude. Great job on this. I can't wait to see you get more stuff done!
Did you have fun with the hippie theme, and can we look forward to more of this?
hahahahahaha too broke to GET HAPPY lol.....
i had a blast i kept sayin it was done and aaron would ask for a lil bit more everytime and i was like wtf? but in the end im SO glad he pushed me to do more!!!! but more hippie stuff to come...ehh i doubt it,maybe some time down the line?although i did a tshirt design for an upcoming show at mechanized in SLC SORTA hippie ish/love theme?
Keep up the good work man!
Bilbetsovic's FlickrJust doing my thing looking for new stuff on the net as usual, to post on the blog and what do ya know, I found something.. I haven't seen anything like this before and I find this rather intriguing.. what do ya'll think? I love the concept, the idea behind it.. and it seems they might have something more up their sleeves?? Check it out here, I don't know about you but I'm keeping an eye out for more..
See Brent Nolasco and his works at Toyqube booth (#4837).
Painting in oil on clayboard kind of sucks (way too absorbent), but somehow I managed to do this 18x24" piece in three days. Wish I had more accurate photos, but I think this is pretty close, and they'll have a nice silver frame around them soon. I'll be showing this at Garvey Gallery in late August.
This just in:
Yeti prototype is now available in our website! pre-order your Yeti Guy/Girl today before they are gone! They are set to be released this coming Aug and we wont charge you until your product is shipped!
Yeti Guy/Girl is so cool! IMO... I would love to have one of these dudes myself. I'll have to decide on a color first.. and that might take a while..haha.. in the meantime, here's a pic of the the hot (pink) yeti girl's behind.. ;)
if you like Yeti guy, pick up one of the tshirts too, I have one and its very high quality. Good stuff..
