Hathor - God of Fertility

Here is my Jouwe for theTAG show on October 2nd. I was really excited to work on this piece because it has a lot of natural character and less 'blank' then other platforms. I wanted to change the piece a bit but still maintain the look, so I decided to follow the Egyptian theme and celebrate Hathor the Ox got of fertility.

7" Mog

After completing my mega moogle I did a 7" one for Amy Greenwood aka Vinyl Goddess She did an amazing write up and critique of the piecehere I love that she actually critiques and analysis vinyl art instead of just blanket affirmations of approval. I would love to see her tackle even more pieces! Head on over and give it a read!

I made a few forms for future Mogs, this time flocking their noses which I think added a little something. Once I finish my jouwe I would like to make a black Nega Moogle! Then I will take a break from moogles, I swear (maybe not)

In other news, I hope to overhaul the website soon, maybe within a week or so, so all future blog posts will be there. Heres hoping!

Mog the Mega Munny Moogle

Almost a year ago I left the show American Dad, where I had worked for four years, to join up with Futurama. The crew of AD is so amazing and they gave me a mega munny as a good bye present. I knew I wanted to turn that gift into something I wanted for myself, so I decided a life sized moogle is what I needed in the house :) I got him done in time for comic con and brought him along for the ride.

Tiki Mask

Every summer my friends and I make costumes and attend theLabyrinth of JarethMasquerade Ball in Los Angeles. In the past I have made a deer spirit, dragon, and a couple fish. Last year I had the idea of doing a light up tiki mask but the wedding plans kept me from having the time. This year I started in April and was able to finish it with no problems! My goals were to make it lighter than previous masks, better visibility by having it flip up, and to use glow wire in a thoughtful way (it can look super chintzy if done wrong). My friend Kelli also did a tiki mask and we had a great time at the ball :)

Brain Slugs

Wednesday was the last table read of season six for Futurama. We had many treats to celebrate and my favorite was the Brain Slug cupcakes. Not only were they adorable but also amazingly delicious! They were so cute people wanted to keep them, so I decided to whip some up not made of food :)

900º Celsius

I heard about TAG doing a custom Celsius show and I wanted to get on board. The Celsius is a great platform and a lot of fun to work with. I feel super lucky to be involved in the! The show will be on July 10th so come on out and support some great artists!

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

For my birthday I decided to go to Paint, Wine & Cheese at Paint Lab in Santa Monica. I wanted to do a painting to hang in the office that also wouldn't take to long to do, so I decided on Hypnotoad which is one of my favorite Futurama Characters. Also, I did another custom set of Universe A Futurama figs. I do not own the rights to Futurama or Hypnotoad, those belong to the amazing Matt Groening and Fox Studios.
