"ASTROBOS THE DEMON LORD": "... another figure I made for @cluttermagazine #inactionfigures6 show. ... This guy is almost a straight up bootleg, really minimal sculpting on my part. This was an exercise in casting and painting. I had this vision of an #astroboy meets #devilman figure brewing in my head since last year and I had this figure under wraps for the past 3 months, feels good to finally show him off."

"EXECUTIONER": "Because every court needs an #executioner..." (Original IG Image)
"RICTUS A THIEF OF ALWAYS": "...named after a character in one of my favorite #90s books #thethiefofalways a #fable by Clive Barker ... what ever happened to the movie adaptation?" (Original IG Image)
"THE KNIGHT OF SORROWS": "The Knight of Sorrows the 6th and final figure for the @cluttermagazine #inactionfigures6 show. There was a lot of experimentation going on with this guy. The weird limeade green head, the super thick #leather cape (inspired by the vintage capes for the #obiwan #leia and #darthvader #kenner figures), and the bright red raspberry sorbet sword. Basically this figure is a variation on the #drdoom figure I'll be releasing very soon..." (Original IG Image)So how many of you folks think there should be a animated cartoon of these guys? LOL
The exhibit will be on display until March 2nd, at Clutter Gallery, 163 Main Street, Beacon, NY, 12508.
