Voodoo Bot

I don't know how this guy never got posted! Check out Voodoo bot on Etsy!

Custom Wedding Gift

These two customs stand at 4.5", with a blank Munny as the base to sculpt on. I first cut the "ears" off of the Munny, then cover the openings with a bendable mesh to keep clay from falling inside. I sanded the Munny to allow the clay to adhere to the surface. It's too slick otherwise, and will make it more difficult to sculpt on top of. This was the first time I sculpted, sanded and baked sculpey in layers. If it gets too thick it'll never really harden completely in the oven. Layering ensures a nice tough figure in the end.

I Has Tattoos

A custom robot for my brother, who is covered in more tattoos than this little guy. It'll be great when I get the chance to really ink one up.

The Making Of A Tiny Robot Pumpkin Patch

Tiny Robot pumpkin original sculpture.

Here I've created a mold box out of foam core. The pumpkin is screwed to the bottom so he doesn't float around after I pour the rubber silicone.

Full of silicone, it turns into a firm rubber overnight.

The result after casting.

Nick & Daisy

I love when people come to me requesting customs that are going to be a surprise gift for someone. In this instance, the receiver is a pro gold medal winning racquet ball player (crazy, right?!) with a great big fluffy dog named Daisy. It was fun emailing back and forth with his mother to get the details just right. She gave me creative freedom of course, but was a great Art Director. Here are the pictures they took and sent me after the robots arrived safely in time for his party. Daisy-bot has a little felt collar and tag, and her leash can be held by her owner's arm or can fall freely. Lately I've been creating special customs without the base.
