BIC BUDDY X BIC PLASTICS X MARKA27 X JASPER SANTOS

BIC BUDDY BEFORE...

A good friend of mine, MARKA27 is coming out with his new vinyl figure and asked me if I wanted to be a part of the show, and I said FO SHO!

This is my first vinyl toy I've ever customised.

I was kinda scared of what to do with it at first.

When I first got my BIC BUDDY out of the box, I was messing with it's arm and I accidentally broke it off! So, I had to make my own arm with armature wire and an industrial glue gun, heavy duty stuff! I liked how it came out so I went ahead and broke off the other arm and it was all down hill from there. Here's how my BIC BUDDY looks like as of now,

I still have to paint his eye's and teeth.

BIC BUDDY AFTER...

Last painting before 2009 ends!

One more for 2009... I was asked to paint inside our work office@ SPIN MASTER INC. - Los Angeles. So I had this idea in mind for a while so I finally got to paint it. Having to live in Pasadena and work at Culver City, I always get to drive thru Down Town LA, and I just love the skyline view of it. I'm thinking of making a series of these on canvas of different cities.

Someday...

This is my stab at it; I used acrylic on Iranian newspaper.
The title for my piece is "Thumb Wrestling Champ"

Painted in Iran: "Contemplate" Acrylic on Canvas

I was just killing some time in Iran on my vacation. I painted this for my wife's cousin "Babak" aka "Bobby". I took this photo of him while he was sitting in the living room watching t.v.

I surprised him with the painting when we showed up at his new apartment for his little family party. He loved it!

My search for spray paint in IRAN!

After searching around town in Tehran, I finally found some paint!
They're not Montana's or Krylon's but they'll do the trick!
