2nd Place!

I received an email saying that I got 2nd place in the sticker design competition! I want to thank everyone for the votes, I couldn't have done it without you!

Also, congratulations to the other winners. I think that all the designs turned out great. My absolute favorite has got to be 6th place. I love how the eyeball is substituted for the "O", and the use of negative space to depict the buildings is excellent. It is a very quirky and clean design. Well done!

Meet Octoblot

I didn't sleep at all last night, but it was worth it! After a weeks worth of planning, sketching, sculpting, prepping, silicone curing, and mold pouring...

I present to you Octoblot, the second Phantom Friends toy. Ghost Phantom finally has a friend to play with. Posted in this entry is the first batch of the fresh-out-of-the-mold, unprepped, unpainted, naked photos.

I just need to prep, paint, package, and they will be ready for public consumption. I hope you like calamari!

Stickers Everywhere!

I just got an email blast from Pop Monster with this crazy image of all the stickers in the sticker contest. From what I can see, they all look pretty awesome. Hopefully I can come in sometime this week to check them out before the competition ends!

Sticker Competition at Pop Monster

This is my entry for a sticker competition being held at Pop Monster these next two weeks. Wish me luck!

There were some restrictions, such as the size (no bigger than 4" x 4"), and the color palette limited to green, red, and black (Pop Monster colors).

I had a blast working on this sticker! I have decided to do a full color version of this as well. It might just see life as a print...

How Phantom Friends are Born

In case anyone was wondering how Phantom Friends are made...they are hand cast from a silicone mold. Cool huh?
