Custom-Feature: "Mangbetu" by Jacob JAMS for #LittleGreenMen @ SubUrban Vinyl (Opens May 16)
Jacob JAMS shares with us pics of his custom of Leecifer's "Picklebaby" - meant for the upcoming weekend Little Green Men @ SubUrban Vinyl - featuring a hand painted sculpt, cradling a baby mangbetu child, who still has the bands in his head.
"It is a sculpture of a woman from a tribe in the Congo's of Africa called the "Mangbetu" and they practice in "Head Elongation." For them to successfully complete this process, they wrap bands, tight around a baby's head, deforming its soft skull so it lengthens."Pretty amazing a sculpt, IMHO - and the paintwork and shading is sublime = Well done, Jacob!
