While you can pretty much get the idea of it here, I’ll be posting the final images and info in a few hours…
Checking the transparency film over a partial print to make sure things are all there and positioned correctly.
The final burnt black-line screen.
Shiny shiny black enamel drying on the rack.
Blue edition racked.
This was one of several quick notebook sketches of the concept.
Two weeks ago I took a trip down to the print shop to check in on a new print edition I’ve been working on. Here are a few shots of the work in progress, more photos and edition information tomorrow!
These guys are actually finely-tuned printing robots, there is no other explanation for their speed and accuracy.
Mmm…goopy. The last step in the printing process is laying down the black enamel linework, this is where the image all finally comes together.
Through test prints, screen clears and alignment checks the shop ends up with quite a few “unintentional collaborations” between artists. Some of these are really interesting.
This multi-tonne WWII era beast of a machine would not hesitate to cut your hand off, except that it fortunately requires two hands to operate.
Hmm what’s this? An alternate color for print club members? Shh, don’t tell them, they may not have opened their mail yet.
In the wake of the recent deadzebra.com revamp comes the update to the DYZPLASTIC site featuring our toy production projects and services. Check it out and keep an eye on the production blog over there for collectible specific information (don’t worry, big updates will still be cross posted over here)
See the Work In Progress over here…
Here we come to the end of the Three Strikes project! I had hoped to make it a little fancier, but deadlines are deadlines and plans had to be adjusted accordingly. It turned out to be pretty simple and sweet, hopefully you enjoy it!
Come see it in person, Tonight through the 15th only! Sold already, sorry!
(Part 2 can be found here)
Masking time! Here I’ve cut a small heart shape into an adhesive vinyl frisket. I protected the surrounding area and sprayed a few light coats.
(Part 1 can be found here)
Work continued on the heart accessory as eyes and valves were sculpted out of resin directly onto the piece. Once set up and sanded down it was hit with a coat of primer, followed by a base coat of red. A darker red was lightly sprayed below the “mouth”.
People told me that they enjoyed my behind-the-scenes of Milo And Ditch earlier this year, so I thought I’d do a little one for my Munnyworld figure. This isn’t quite as involved, but still fun to share the work. Munnyworld opens this Thursday and runs through the 15th.
We start out with a big ole blank 20″ MUNNY figure that Kidrobot was nice enough to send months in advance. I, of course, did not get around to working on it until a few days before deadline. Woops.
