So behind in updates, so lets get to it…

First off, in honor of the upcoming Father’s Day I wanted to offer a discount.  Being a father and a collector of art and toys, I can feel for the plight of other fathers who also collect.  To help their (or their loved ones’ burden) I am offering a 15% discount in my store (alarment.storenvy.com) by using the discount code ‘fathersday’ for the rest of the month.  If you are looking for that one of a kind gift for that dad of yours, look no further.  Or if you want to treat yourself (being a parent or not), know that you will helping this father out by buying some of my stuff so I can buy more toys!

Now for the updates…

I was recently nominated in Clutter Magazine‘s Designer Toy Awards for Best Customizer.  It is a great honor to be nominated among so many other very talented artists in this genre.

I also participated in Kidrobot‘s MunnyMunth contest, with my entry being “Rockwell”  (available at alarment.storenvy.com).

I  recently completed “Speechless”, a glow in the dark Mini Munny (available at alarment.storenvy.com).

I was also asked to be part of a Hellraiser themed custom Kidrobot mascot series, entitled “Cenobots”.  For this series, I created “Murmur” and “Eyesore”.  The whole series was purchased by one buyer!

I participated in the Project QiQi custom toy exhibit for ToyCon UK, which took place in London, UK.  My entry’s name was “Vacancy”.

I also donated an acrylic painting named “III” to the Center For Visual Arts in Greensboro, NC for their 100 for 100 fundraising show.

And finally, I donated these custom vinyl pieces “BW” and “Goldie” to the Art for a Cure cause, which appeared in the POP Start Smart show at the Marte museum in Cava dei Tirreni, Caserta, Italy.

I was recently commissioned to create three new custom pieces, with the base being the DIY vinyl Android platform   The only stipulation given was that the future owner wanted all three to be different and to include some sculpted elements to it.  I had already started work on a transparent green android, but had not planned on sculpting on it.  With a little brainstorming came up with this:

Once ol greenie was completed, I focused my efforts on the next two androids.  I knew that these two would have much more sculpting involved.  I decided to use these two pieces as a warmup for my upcoming Creatures and Companions series of customs, which rely on the use of heavy textures and a biological influence.  From this direction came Mouth and Goldskull (see below)

As always, if you too are interested in a commissioned custom or any type of artwork, I can be contacted via comments here, my Facebook page, Facebook fan page, Storenvy site, or via email (alarment @ gmail . com).
