Brent Nolasco / Blamo Project Unveiling at New York Comic Con 2010 (via Tenatious Toys Booth 2878)
The Brent Nolasco / Blamo Project will be introduced at the Tenacious Toys booth (#2878) at the 2010 New York Comic Con (October 8-10). Standing 5.5 inches tall and made of resin and acrylic paints, "MIJO" is priced at US$300 per (limited quantities undetermined). Shown here is the intense teaser, and you can find out more about the figure by CLICKING THRU to read.
WHAT: The Nolasco / Blamo resin project is a way for Brent to express himself and to have a non-conventional release. Since the process of making figures and products from Blamo are more of a fine art than mass production, he wanted a more "hands on" approach to making his next figure. Brent really wanted to go back to how resin figures were first done by artists.
Brent first sculpted this figure by hand. It's something he had never done before. The figure consists of 6 pieces that are hand casted separately and then put together. Each piece is hand painted by Brent so there is slight variation in each paint job. Each piece is very unique and has it's own characteristics that set them apart from one another. Brent likes that they are more organic and free-formed than pieces from a factory which pumps out products for the masses. It makes each release more personal.
The runs on these upcoming figures are going to be limited quantities. Some will be just "one-offs". Brent is looking to do some sculpting and other interesting things with these figures to keep the ideas fresh.
