So, here’s to being tired as fuck.

I did my show with Leslie which was amazing and fun and inspiring, and the opening was really great and we both sold nearly all our pieces(and you can buy the remaining pieces here). And then, I went and had a sandwich and a milkshake and I went home and slept a lot.

And then I woke up.

The first thing I thought was, “Oh yaaaaay, I can now spend days mainlining Parks and Rec and reading fanfiction, but not Parks and Rec fanfiction, because that just seems kind of weird.”* And then I looked at my meticulously kept calendar, which is not actually all that meticulously kept, but kept well enough. And my calendar, god bless its awful soul, said – “Deaaaadlines.”

So, the life update is – still tired, still busy, still working. I’m running a little bit behind on shipping store stuff, but I really appreciate your patience. If you’d like to follow me on Instagram or Tumblr or Twitter, those two places have the best stream of consciousness feeds from my brain and studio.

But I’m happy, so all is well.

*Not to be a downer about Parks and Rec fanfiction. I haven’t read any.

The first redesigned fattybug edition is the Angeles Forest Fattybug! He’ll be an edition of 8, and available…soonish.

Leslie and I hung the Dubious Beasts show, and it’s really looking great. Leslie’s work for the show is absolutely stunning.

This is me, hanging Leslie’s work. The green dude(who’s really cool. and fuzzy!) is hers too. The picture is by Leanna, the awesome gallery owner.

The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts opens May 11th at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland in Eagle Rock. I hope to see you there!

Here are a couple more pictures from the Dubious Beasts show that Leslie and I are working on! It opens on May 11th, but we’re setting the show up in about 10 days or so.

These are eagle rock larms. (No, Eagle Rock is not known for its rocks. it’s just where Leanna Lin’s Wonderland is located….which is where these guys are going)

Here’s my favourite little fat dude.

We’re building custom shelves! It’s a little corner, so we’re packing things in nicely.

And we totally have custom tags.

The last of the original fattybug casts are headed to Leanna Lin’s Wonderland, for my show with Leslie in May(The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts…just in case I haven’t repeated that enough)!

Here they are, looking all…fattybuggy.

Fattybug 2.0 is here! Expect the first colourway…well, once I paint it. The second colourway will most likely appear at San Diego Comic-Con!

Happy Easter!

I’m also working on an experimental project with my mother, who has been working with bronze a lot lately! Below are some preview pictures of what she sent me…hmmm, what could they be?

This one is a bronze cast, right after casting. They haven’t been cleaned yet.

These are large wax…lumps. They’re going to be arriving in my mail in a couple days and then back to mom for casting.

These will be fun! I think you’ll like them too…

The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts

March 18th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink

The more I do, the less I blog, which is a bit silly because it’s not as if I have much to talk about when I’m not doing things. As usual, Instagram(@sawdustbear) is probably the most frequently updated of my social channels, but if you like a large helping of rambling to go with your pretty images, then staying tuned to my blog’s probably good too!

I’m working on a show with the incredible Leslie Levings opening in May! The show is titled The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts, and we we have SO MANY MONSTERS lined up to show you. Here is our little blurb about the show:

“Inspired by early cabinets of curiosities and the mustiest corners of old museums, critter curators and sculptors Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor unveil a collection of strange and wonderful beady eyed things in The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts.”
