New WIP's

Hey guys check out some new finished and progress shots of some new customized toys I will be revealing soon.

First up, is "Whipped by the Green" created for a Valentine's day show at Suburban Vinyl in NJ.
This custom 3 inch dunny Nuggyeater, seems to be stuck on one lady.... Mary Jane, with her eyes so green and freshly smelling hair, she's so worth to drool over..
Hope you don't get whipped by the green.



Here's a bunch of WIP's:

So, let's see..........kids toys geared towards "the very young smoker?".....

It's obvious u have some artistic talent......just no business sense. But I don't mean to burst your bubble so don't take it personally. Lastly, parent groups and schools will have a field day with these.

Sorry to tell you this but you did not burst any of my bubbles .... Just gotta ask, have you researched what I do for a living? or maybe clicked my link in my profile (which I think is up).. I've been in this customizing industry for several years now and make a full time living out of it. I show and work with companies all around the world displaying my green inspired custom toys. SOOOOO I do have to say my business sense is on point because I am self employed, and own a a full time studio for my work. As for parent groups and such I don't sell to kids there for I don't have any problems. These custom "Toys" you see also know as Urban Vinyl... Are made by big designers from around the world and sold in very limited amounts to very serious art collectors.

Sorry for the confusion, understanding the word "Toy" can be misleading

Gotcha.......but I'm still trying to understand who these "toys" are being marketed to? If it's not kids, then teens and young adults or am I missing something? Maybe "collectibles" is a better term? I wasn't trying to piss on your parade, just trying to understand it all? And no, I haven't researched you or your work as the toys don't have much interest for me.......cause I'm an old geaser. Can I ask what something like the small item would sell for?

It's all good... and yes "art collectables" is usually what I write instead of "Toys", because really its not a toy... Its supposed to go on your shelf for viewing pleasure. Its just that throughout different forums and blogs that I show on, they will market it as a "custom toy" or "designer toy" so sometimes I catch myself just writing toy because of it. idk if your familiar with artist like Mars 1, Jeff Soto, Ron English, David Flores? These are just a few artists in which I will customize there "designer toy" into my green inspired world. For my customers the youngest was 18 and my oldest is 68 years old... majority is 23-40 years old... I won't sell to any one under 18 endless its through the parents, in which I have had plenty of times and no problems. The average pricing for the small ones (3" tall) start at $140-200... If you do get a chance google me.. Ian Ziobrowski you will pretty much get the idea who shows my work in galleries, too big toy collectors that hire me on commissions.. I even do New York City Comic Con every year, and this year making it over to San Diego Comic Con.
I didn't take offense to anything you wrote previously, I'm totally open to opinions. Just want to make sure I can help you understand this upcoming art industry that I'm involved with, and how I approached it, creating green inspired collectables.

Makes better sense now......good luck with it all.
