Another dude I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with in this crazy world is Adam from Copasquat Toys! Adam is a quiet and humble guy who is so amazingly talented that he really needs to be on your radar. Everything Adam does has such an amazing quality and attention to detail. His sculpts are super clean and well thought out, with tons of detail that fit each figure so perfectly. Adam is a class act.  In his art and as a human. I love hanging out with him at conventions and we keep in touch the rest of the year, so I was super stoked (and honored) that I got to do a run of his 4 newest sculpts in the Fumetsu series (L-R, Top to B): Erewon, Kurzweil, Vinge & Neumann! These were a clear pink marble base, and I added some shake-action LED's into the inners. I love so much about each one of these figures, and tried my best to give them a lot of TLC, bright accents, and a little bastardized nod to old school classic paint apps all in one. Release info coming soon, follow @copasquattoys (or me) on IG for release details!

One of the seriously coolest guys I've met in this crazy vinyl world is BlurbleOne. He's one of those people who is not only an insanely talented, jack of all trades artist who just seems to be proficient no matter what medium they work in, but he's just an all around good guy. I can't imagine anyone ever saying anything about the dude, he's really that awesome. Kind and humble, always positive, amazing family man, caring friend. Both of our lives are so busy that we really don't get to cross paths very often, but I am always so stoked when we do and am so grateful to have gotten to know Mike. He was the guy who happily gave me Airbrush 101 in my hot garage years ago & created the airbrush monster in me. For all of these reasons and more, I really wanted to do this custom justice, and so here's my birthday present paint job for him on a GID YouZha by KearJun (@kearjun on IG). I had all these plastic babies I've been saving for who knows what, and so this seemed the perfect companion for this guy :D Happiest of brithdays to you Mike! Go check out his site & support him,
