    A Month Ago Today…

    Almost a month ago, I was still working as a 911 dispatcher. I sit here looking at my finished designer toy figures from today, and a mess of figures in various stages of being completed…. And I have absolutely no regrets. Not one. I don’t miss the job. I went in every day with the…

  • In Progress Resin Figures…

  • Playing with Toys Today…

    Working on toys again today. Definitely enjoying the learning process. Finished the bottom half to my second resin figure. I started the abstract painting on the head but no picture yet on that. And here is the almost complete first resin figure I’ve ever made. It glows aqua blue in parts in low to no…

  • The Evolution of my Latest Custom Figure…

    Earlier this week marked my first foray into producing my own resin figures. The vinyl figures I enjoyed working with (mainly cause they were super cheap and perfect for my wire work mix) are no longer sold at the place I use to buy them from and I can’t find them anywhere online. So I…
