Thank you to everyone that stop by my table, chatted and bought something last weekend at OZ ComicCon Melb. It was wonderful to hang out with old friends and lovely making new friends. Thank you to all of you for making a busy weekend fun!
I have large and small prints, postcards, magnets and new plush toys for sale. Looking forward to busy nerdy weekend!
I will be selling prints and postcards of my work along with some new plush toys and a few other new things at OZ ComicCon Melbourne this weekend June 11th & 12th, 2016!
This will be my first time exhibiting at a OZ ComicCon event and it looks like it is going to be HUGE!
You can find me and my work at table 28 in the Artist Alley by the entrance near Stage 3.
I interpreted the character into my own original design to than translate it into a plush toy pattern. The plush is made from quality soft fleece, felt and freehand machine embroidery details.
The design includes:
– Plastic “boned” wings
РUnique appliqu̩ head marking
– Re-enforced open mouth with teeth
Completed plush was meant to stands approx. 10 inches tall but it ended up being closer to 15 inches high making it a good huggable size.
Coming down with a nasty flu during process resulted in “false start” with a not quite right pattern and one superfluous lion. But once I recovered I was able to modify the pattern and finish the plushies. I’m so proud of them!
The Lions are roughly 28cm long (nose to tail). They are made from soft fleece with embroidered eyes and face details and felt “fringe”. The mirror on the forehead is made from silver faux leather. All of my toys are machine embroidered freehand.
The mouth is re-enforced so it does not bulge with the stuffing inside and there are hand stiched pom pom nose details. The soles of the feet are stiffened with plasticard to help them stand.
The Lion plushies were part of the raffle and I was told they were very popular on the night 😀
Jannkin Hearts – Baron Heart’s younger brother and considered possibly even more dangerous then the King. Fanatically devoted to Law, he hopes to rid himself of all emotion and find Pure Truth by practising the ancient rituals of Order.
The Jack of Hearts completes the House of Hearts in my series called The Gamblers – characters and stories from which I’m building my own deck of playing cards.
I’m looking into starting a Patreon to help fund finishing off the remaining designs and go towards get the completed deck printed. I would like to share the preliminary sketches, more of background story and offer a limited number of commissions.
And in fitting with Fallout’s salvaged aesthetic I recycled a 20x30cm tin sign, weathering and sanding off its original paint.
I wanted to capture the Petty Girl glowing tan and sweet smile of vintage pin ups. I imagine that an image like this would be like a recruitment poster for the Brotherhood faction.
She is entirely painted using Vallejo acrylic paint including the Brotherhood logo and text that I airbrushed stencil on before beginning the figure. The finished painting is protected and sealed with UV cut Matte clear spray varnish.
I will have her on display and for sale at Supanova this weekend (April 16 & 17th) at the Melbourne Showgrounds, Ascot Vale.
My Mini Groots are an adorable 18cm (7inches) tall with a “beanie” pot to make it stand. He is filled with quality polyfil and plastic pellets. The green felt details are hand cut and sewn in to the body. He has black plastic safety eyes and a sweet hand stitched smile.
I will have 6 of these new Groot plushies for sale at my table this weekend’s Supanova Melbourne. I will have them available to order from my Etsy Shop after the show.
Samus Aran in the Art Nouveau style new print design. I will have prints of her and my other designs for sale at this years events and online.
I never really got to play video games much as a kid but when I got to play Smash Bros. at friends’ houses I always chose Samus. It was years later I found out that she wasn’t a robot and there was a person inside!
Art Deco – Poison Ivy to finish off my Art Deco DC set. I had the idea for an art deco rose bud shawl for months and I finally was able to realise it for Ivy’s dress.
All 3 prints will for sale along with one more new design I will reveal later this week.
