Brodarrfest update

Precious gems are on their way from all over the states, and even this piece of Magic all the way from the land down under. A Drizzz family Portrait by Mel Stringer. Fuckin' Stoked!

Now Brodarrfest U.S. is less than a week away. I remember the giddy feeling that this was all going to be really fun when I started drawing Jeff, and then his backstory started coming into focus. I had just a few early supporters that figured they would dive in at the time I put Jeff into production, and it sorta stayed that way for a bit. Jeff officially debuted at SDCC 2013 and I remember lots of folks not familiar with my toys gravitating toward him, but not yet knowing what to do with Jeff. And we zoom into the future to SDCC 2014 post kickstarter, but still the first public release of Quiller, Lonny, Kamisama, and Private Hooligan. The response was Awesome! Now there was a whole crew of characters to interact with each other, play, and love, and fight. The most awesome news about that first public release of the new gang was that there was no one character that everybody had to have. The surprise response was how many people dug Private Hooligan, a dude that was/is very real to me, but had just been sprung out there for people to dig or not dig.

Here we are June 2015, 4 new characters in the works. One of those, Drizzleshits, who is the third core brother along with Jeff, and Lonny, who will make his public debut at Brodarrfest U.S. this saturday at FOE Gallery in Northampton MA. this is also the first time that I get to have multiple peoples play with the gang, doing paintings, and customs, and I have that giddy feeling again.

John Black's flipping stellar contribution for the show at FOE. And in related news. He is also the winner of the name that mushroom contest. More on that later.

I can feeeel Brodarrfest fever building

I finished up two short runs for Brodarrfest. Maybe my favs so far. All are very glowy. I'll try to snap a few nightshots soon. Now i am putting my focus on framing some of my 2-D works. I bought a new tablesaw and feel ready to rip. Still a lot of work to do. Need to finish up the Ramenshop, and a lot of work to do on customs. I have new stickers at the printer right now.
Have you seen some of the other artists creations for this event at FOE... the first ones are trickling out there. They are looking sooo good. I can't wait to see them all together in person.

Cop A Squat at Brodarrfest U.S.

Cop A Squat toys has done two awesome paintings for the Brodarrfest show.

Do you know Copasquat Toys? Copasquat is an artist based out of North Carolina. He's a top doggy Silk screener and artist. And if you are following the sofubi toy scene you may recognize or better yet, have one of his Semi Kerosia toys. I know he has something else up his sleeve now too.

Brodarrfest U.S. at FOE this June

Nearly 30 artists from around the U.S. and one Canadian, and an Aussie do their take on the Suns Of Brodarr. It's so exciting to see the first images come in, and when some of us get to see them in person. I think, at least my mind will have melt marks. A few of the artists involved are even taking a Brodarr and making their own 3-D vision of them.

I am working on some customs, a few diarama bits for the next episode, and there will be an exclusive Drizzleshits at the show.

Hope to see you there East Coast.

Lonny's Army Cyborg Stardust

Some of you may already know this about me. I live and breathe character design. Lately almost every morning I wake up obsessing about Suns Of Bordarr. Where can I take this? What can I do with it? And the big question sometimes... which character to make next into sofubi?

That last question is always rattling around in my brain. So many Characters I want to bring to life in vinyl form. I go back and forth about it on a daily basis. I did have an aha moment at the beginning of this week though. One last push for SDCC, and I knew what it would be.

SO I started sculpting and wondering if I could pull it off. At first no, but I kept widdling away at these forms and it really started to take some good shapes. Now I think I am on the home stretch with the sculpt, and I am shooting to send it off to Japan by mid next week. No idea if we can get this done in time for SDCC, always closer than I think. But I'll do my best to make it happen.

My vision. Almost everytime a Sun of Brodarr looses a limb in battle or dumbfuckery. It grows back. But the old limb/appendage just turns into deadmeat. Well, Lonny started collecting these "parts" and preserving them. Now he is hard at work in his laboratory plotting and scheming how to bring them back.

Skinner Mystery Figure is Unlocked

Which one will we pick. Pre-order the mystery figure and pick the one we end up making and you'll have a chance of winning your very own skinner testshot!

Top left- thurburr half way in this world halfway in the other.. He stared at the sun for way too long and has to wear bug glasses now.. He can still pop a wheelie like a sonofabitch but he has the troubles landing it.

Top right- aquarion the tripped out freedom rider from the senses shattering blagnaxx system.. Some believe his loyalty to the gang could be due to the fact that he may be partially dog.. Like a sharpeii that sticks it's tongue out all the time.. Or maybe he just wants some acid?

Middle left- Aqualox- super grumpy dick, natural leader. Has a hard time breathing on earth but can swim like a fish frog in space. Always complaining. Can work on motorcycles well but hates them. Always wanted to be president of the antiquated realm of confusing jargon.

Middle right- poppa trippz- no one can understand a goddamn word he is talking about but is revered for his wisdom.. Too many space festivals but is a great body guard for intergalactic rock stars.. Does some dirty work but can justify it with a string of non sequitur hippie malarkey about the balance of the universe.

Bottom left- TEEN FUZZ- totally young and trying to earn his stripes through battles and cycle rides, this guy is eager to rip a hole in the space time continuum! Gets picked on but turns all that inward and lays little patches of angst ridden frustration. Can always be counted on which is I characteristic of a teen anything.

Bottom right- HAWT HED- totally insane from ripping wheelies and smashing bottles of cosmic brew! Also maybe because he has LAVA IN HIS HEAD! Yeah his head is a volcano and when he's riding high watch out be cause magma jam blasts like hell out of his nugget! Not a very fun gang member but they keep him around so they can watch lava blast out of his head. It's so cool!
