The New Mexico Comic Expo 2019 has come and gone. Thank you to anyone who purchased, or even just stopped by to say hi, it was a great weekend.  I sold many pieces and will be working on replenishing my stock (like the popular Cthulhus!) as well as creating many new works. If you would like to inquire about anything you saw at my booth, or have any special requests, please contact me at alarment@gmail.com

I wanted to say thanks to all who came by the Monsters, Moustaches, & Mayhem booth at this year’s Albuquerque Comic Com.  I’m still working on updating my web store with pieces that are left over, but in the meantime, if you would like to inquire about anything you saw at my booth, please contact me at alarment@gmail.com

The Monsters, Moustaches, & Mayhem booth is making its third appearance at the Albuquerque Comic Con!  It takes place at the Albuquerque Convention Center  this Friday, January 13th (Friday the 13th!) at 4pm and ends Sunday the 15th. We can be found at booth 569, please come by!

This past weekend was the 2016 Albuquerque Comic Con.  I shared a booth with my friend Joe under our art collective Monsters, Moustaches, & Mayhem.  It was fun weekend, saw lots of great cosplay and met lots of cool people.  For everyone who stopped by, be it to just admire our work, or even purchase, thank you.  We had a cool moment when Marky Ramone stopped by the booth and was complementary to my work and showed interest in buying the largest piece I had.  Marky told us of his robot and toy collection and how it would fit in.  The sale didn’t go down, but it was still cool to have him stop by to chat and show interest.

For those who might be interested in purchasing what was available at the booth, I am working on cataloging what is still available and will then update my web store (alarment.storenvy.com).  I will offer a discount coupon code for all items once I’m done updating the store, so please check back.

In order to not miss out on the deal, you can subscribe to my website here and be notified via email when new posts are made.

You can also follow me on instagram at: instagram.com/alarment and/or follow my Alarment Facebook here or my personal Facebook page here, where I will also share updates to the store and of any sales.

I had uploaded the images, but had not posted about this show.  Back in March, I again participated in a group show at the POP Gallery in Santa Fe, NM.  The show’s name was OH! A Seussian Tribute, asking artists to submit work inspired by the great Dr. Seuss.  I submitted two paintings to the show, A Wonderful, Aweful Idea and Unless, my takes on the Grinch and the story of the Lorax.  For these paintings, I also made custom frames for each.  The Grinch painting sold on opening night, while the Lorax is still on display, as well is my Where the Wilds Things Are piece, so if you are every up in Santa Fe, please check them out.

After the latest Art Fight, the next day I then participated in the BMG Fan Fest.  Since the Albuquerque Comic Expo is no longer, a local artist/entrepreneur Josh Jones created his own convention for local artist and vendors to display their wares.  I had a booth for this event, selling drawings, paintings, prints, art toys, sculptures, and some of my old action figures and comic books.

My kids came by and picked up some nice swag from the show.

Amanda acted as my booth babe, dressing up as Princess Peach, and later wore the Frank the Bunny costume we both made for Halloween years back, and was able to make it to the finals of the cosplay contest.

I had a few new pieces on display at my booth, including my finally completed 12″ original sculpture.  It was commissioned by a collector who has several pieces from my Creatures and Companions series, and wanted something in the same style, but much larger.  He also wanted included a smaller rider who could fit in a pouch,  similar to a kangaroo.  I also had a couple Zombie Lobo Louies, a 3A Zomb, and some quick Mariachi Skull Dunnys.

Next up, I need to work on pieces for the upcoming Vinyl Thoughts 6 and NYCC Tequila custom group show, time to get back to work!

Again, I have fallen behind in my posting, I just did some massive uploads of images to the ART GALLERY, so go have a look for lots of new images 🙂

Here is an update of my doings since the last post…

I had forgotten to post about the  Wild Rumpus group show at the Pop Gallery in Santa Fe, NM (Nov/Dec 2013) where my piece was displayed.  The show’s theme was to create work inspired my Maurice Sendak and Where The Wild Things Are.  My entry, entitled Wild Things Were was a custom vinyl Colorblok Mono.

I’ve been trying to do more traditional paint work in my pieces as of late, so I decided this would be a great opportunity to do a custom toy with almost no sculpted elements (I scratch built Max’s crown).

I had this painting  at the  January 2014 Childish Playthings Custom Toy / Art Show at  Menace Inc. Studios in Greensboro, NC.

I also participated in the Second Hand Art Show, also at  Menace Inc. Studios in March 2014, with these two paintings, which were thrift store finds that I then added to.

Spankystokes’ writeup of my custom Berties.

Toysrevil’s writeup of my custom Berties.

I had to chance to participate in another vinyl show this past November, this one being at the Plastic Chapel in Denver, Colorado.  The show’s name was The Dunny Show, in which artists were asked to submit 3″ Dunnys.

Coming off just completing my series of Creatures and Companions, I decided I wanted my Dunnys for this show to be similar in style, but to give them a different color scheme and add to irises and pupils to these rather than the veiny blanks the others had.  I started off with a set of three since I didn’t know if I would finish them in time for the show.

Césped

Bug

Marsh

But I finished in plenty of time, so I sculpted four more and decided to try a different take on the eyes, and decided to go with black rather than white.

Frost

Flame

Cielo

Earth

After seeing them as a group and noticing the organic/elemental feel to them, I named them Bug, Césped, Cielo, Earth, Flame, Frost, and Marsh.   Depending on if or how many sell at the show, the rest will eventually be available at my storenvy site.
