Phillips de Pury Auction – 6th March, 2010

Phillips de Pury Auction Catalog

A few days ago I got my copy of the catalogue for the auction at Phillips De Pury. I am incredibly honored to be in this auction among a very select few other great artists in my genre. If you are interested in bidding on this set of figures here is a link to the lot.

Maneki Tora – The Lucky Tiger

Maneki Tora - The Lucky Tiger

“Early in the development phase of analogue to digital personality transfers scientists used different types of animals in their experiments. One particularly successful test involved tigers. Ever since little tigers in form of the test subject have been a cute giveaway symbolizing strength and good luck.”

This resin sculpture is about 6.5 cm (2.5″) big and has been painted with special automotive effects paint that shifts colors depending on the lighting. While the top shimmers in a beautiful golden orange the lower parts of the body range from silver, pink over blue to turquoise. Finished with beautiful high gloss coat. Comes in a handmade cardboard box that also doubles as a display stand. Edition of 7.

Available now at store.danielgoffin.com for 30€ (includes world wide shipping).

Phew, finally I managed to snap a few pictures of the little beast I am still working on. As you can see the sculpt is heavily detailed on the back with lots of cables and tubes and whatnot. What you see here is a primed sample of one of the seven figures that will be released next sunday. Pictures of the final colored edition will be posted soon, so stay tuned.

This is my new resin toy measuring 6.5 cm (2.5″) which will be released on Valentines Day / Chinese New Year.

Brent Sparr Custom

Brent Sparr custom detail

The updates to this blog have been sporadic at best these past months so I hope that maybe the content makes up for the little you get to see. I probably keep saying this over and over again but I am overwhelmed with work at the moment which is partly the reason why I post so little. As if my current freelance assignment wasn’t enough there is a presentation coming up real soon and I needed some new work for this as well. So, another custom 1/1 paint job on one of my resin toys. This time: Brent Sparr. Enjoy.
