Albert Art Raccoon Tanooki Mario Toy2r Qee Custom Toy

PUT A TAIL ON IT!

I'm having too much fun designing and customizing these characters. Raccoon/Tanooki Mario with a real tail. Okay, so maybe not a real raccoon's tail, but it's faux fur tail (PETA friendly). 

Hand-painted, 1-of-1 custom 8 inch Cat Qee.

This one is for sale, so contact me for deets, or request a commission.

Qee Story Stop Motion Animation Albert Art

STOP MOTION QEE
Here's a quick project I made within a few hours. I basically took the custom vinyl toys that I've painted, and created a little silent film, with stop motion techniques.
Something short and sweet, and not too complicated. It's these little ideas I get that I have to get out!
Featured in the video are 3 Mini-Qees, and one 2.5 inch Qee Letterman the Hound, which was featured in Artist Series 2 of the Skelanimals x Toy2R collaboration.
Enjoy!






  

NikeiD Stop Motion Animation Sneakers Short

STOP MOTION WITH NIKEID




I recently purchased a pair of custom sneakers from NikeiD. It took a little over 3 weeks to get the sneakers from the time of order to arrival. NikeiD does not ship to Canada, so a friend in Washington State, had to personally deliver the shoes to me, which saved me on shipping.


The customer service was pretty good, and there are numerous options for customizing sneakers on the site. I can see this getting pretty addicting, when considering, you can get custom shoes, around the same price as non-customized sneakers from major retailer stores.


So glad Nike started providing this service for sneakerheads, and fans alike. 


I made this quick video for fun, while doing some stop-motion testing with my camera. It turned out really nice. It's quirky, and probably the strangest film I've made to date. It may not be as good as the Fantastic Mr. Fox, but it's pretty fantastic.

Albert Art THUG-SH STORMHAMMER CUSTOM UNISON LAB TOY

THUG LIFE!!!

THUG SQUAD, ASSEMBLE!!! April has been a pretty busy month for me, working on 6 different customs toys within a few weeks, was a tall order. The challenge was giving each toy the time they deserve to really make them the best they could be within the time frame.

All three customs took about a month to produce, mainly because I was so busy with preparing for Fan Expo Vancouver. I was working on these THUG toys at the same time as my Easter 2012 custom Qees.

I first worked on a THUG custom over a year ago and it caught the attention of the Chilean toy company. So I jumped at the chance to work on their latest DIY, which is a totally unique style of toy.

I think I might be the only artist who managed to get a THUG-SH from Unison Lab. Honoured to have had the chance to customize it! The toy is quite the beast with long, heavy arms, and stubby legs, it has a slightly awkward balance if the arms are positioned too far over the head. I think it's around 8" tall, but with the arms raised it looks much taller and intimidating.  This toy required a lot of paint since there's so much space to cover on the toy this size.

Though the cool thing about toys from Unison Lab are the accessories and interchangeable parts of the Stormhammer. 

The smaller THUG-GY can attach itself to the handles on the back of the Stormhammer, which is a neat idea if you really wanted to play around with your toys. They also now come with accessories like wearable masks, and weapons!

Together they're from the same universe. I like to think of them as futuristic troops in a squad. Unison Lab also boasts eco-friendly vinyl, which is good to know when picking a canvas to work on.

Lots of work went into these toys. I think I'll take a break to rest. hah

Valentines 2012 Custom Maile Poison Ivy Toy

Had no time to look for a real poison ivy plant!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey, Albert Art fans!

2012 has just begun, and I have a few things in store for all youse toy fans.

Here's a look at my latest custom toy, a Chris Sanders Aloha 'Maile' hand painted custom.

The Aloha Maile sculpture is based on Chris Sanders signature style of the curvaceous female form, like a throwback to cheesecake pin-up art. The design lends itself nicely to all sorts of female characters from the world of comics and animation.  I had a few ideas I wanted to paint, with varying levels of sexuality, but I decided to keep things tasteful for general audiences.

Attractive and deadly, supervillainess Poison Ivy from the Batman universe fit the bill.

The paint design is a cross between Bruce Timm's Poison Ivy from Batman the Animated Series, and The New Batman Adventures, shows that I enjoyed growing up. The color scheme is a little different from the animated series, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

It took around a week to prep, and paint this toy.

Albert Art Lawn Flamingo Helper Biskup Summer Gargamel

SUMMER TIME! Albert Art custom Helper - "Lawn Flamingo"

Ah yes, the time is finally here, summertime that is. And though the weather here in Vancouver, has been less than summerly lately that doesn't mean you can't throw some pink plastic flamingos on the grass to mark the season.

I present to you all the Lawn Flamingo Albert Art custom GID Helper/Relphe from the Tim Biskup x Gargamel collaboration, originally purchased at SDCC 2009. I finished painting this toy several months ago, but I didn't feel like debuting it until the right time, now! Summer!

I originally wanted to photograph the toys beside actual pink lawn flamingos, but I swear I couldn't find any, and I searched all over town, from Home Depot, to Canadian Tire, and Zellers. No garden supply stop had these kitchy ornaments. Some people suggested I order them online, but I really didn't want to wait. On the plus side though, some older ladies working at Home Depot told me that putting lawn flamingos on the grass of someone who is turning 40 is a tradition... or was it 50? Can't remember.

Taking the glow in the dark toy, I painted it over with acrylics, and let it sit on my shelf for months. These toys make me smile, and I hope they make you laugh.

Please enjoy these photos taken of the toys outdoors in a park. Fan this toy!

Valentines 2011 Custom Mon Qee Albert Art Toy2r

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY... not really.

What is love? Some say love burns with a passion, a burning desire. Others say love hurts, and making love work can be like a battle. If you're in love, and really feel the passion in your relationship, I hope you find this toy amusing. If you're broken hearted, newly dumped (dumper, or dumpee), or simply find relationships too difficult to make work, may this latest custom vinyl toy Qee brighten your day.

To celebrate the holiday of love, I decided to put together something of a Valentine's toy, an untraditional one at that. It's definitely not Cupid. I started out with the intention of making a very profound, epic, anti-Valentine's Day statement, but somewhere in the process, I guess I've created a V-DAY toy that celebrates, 'love' in general. Whether you're fighting for the love of your life, or fighting to make a relationship work, or simply feeling the pain after a break up, the toy is on the front line of the battle! In the end, I guess the work will speak for itself.

Happy Holiday! Share the greetings!
