Gorewad-A-Go-Go

If I may, draw from the slurred words of Scott Hall... "Hey, yo."

In my last post, which was... Shit, that was yesterday. Hey, posting is feast or famine around here. It happens.

Anyways, my last post had some picture of the Gorewad Monsters gimmick, that I have been working up. I finished the archaeopteryx design, and got some decent work in on the next piece. Pictures in a second...

But, first, I want to say thanks to those of you in the service. If you're not in the service, you should be thanking them, too. I don't give a shit what your political affiliations are, these men and women are doing a dangerous job, to protect the country and support their families. Let's not lose sight of that.
I also want to thank our police, firefighters, EMTs, any anybody else that has the duty of being a first responder, putting themselves in harm's way as a profession. 

Okay, now I'm off of my soapbox, and here are those pics that I promised:





Happy Memorial Day, you dirty rats.

New Stuff, New Project, New Grumbles

Heya, gang!
First off, I want to congratulate Roy Nelson on winning his fight last night, at UFC 146, and for just being Roy Nelson in general. I love that dude. Hey Roy, if you ever get you eyes on this humble little blog, let's do business! I'd love to do a Roy Nelson M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.
Next order of business, and last bit of UFC talk, includes Jason "Mayhem" Miller. First off, I love that dude... And yeah, that fight last night, should have been stood up numerous times, and as sad as it is that refs in modern MMA are still letting Lay and Pray tactics fly, the truth is: The last thing you hear in a rules meeting is "Protect yourself at all times." Yves Lavigne is a terrible referee, but you spent more time looking at him, and shrugging than you did fighting Sloth from The Goonies, er... Sorry, Dollaway. I don't know what happened after the fight, but dude, I know you'll land on your feet. I look forward to seeing what you get into next. Max respect.


Next order of business: Yes, that project I told everybody about is still happening. It's still coming along. All of the pieces are sculpted, all of the molds are cast... We just aren't through production. Before long, though, I am going to wear down my business partner, and convince him to start talking about it. I'm pretty excited, and when you see what we've got, I have faith you will be too. (Oh, shit, I am starting to sound like Zach from Diamond Select. I'd better check that, damn it! haha)


Also, I started a new concept, and I am really into this. It's a lot of fun, and I think it has the potential to tie together several  independent artists' lines together. I'm going to give you guys a sneak peak of my Gorewad Monsters. I hope you guys like them.


Eric, Luke, Octavio, Dave, Stephen... Let's get this going, guys! 
I admire the work of all five of these guys, and once I have their blessings, I will be glad to link my humble page here, to theirs... I am throwing the gauntlet, though. I will gladly sculpt a 100% custom Gorewad Monster to include with your line. All you have to do, is match me. They are between 1" and 1.25" tall, but if you have an idea for the Godfather/Unicron/Ego the Living Planet/Galactus figure, go for it! 


That's all I have for now. Look at these pictures, then go outside and play, or something.
