Back to Resin Work

I have another resin show coming up in sept. To keep things exciting i've decided to make some wall art to go along with the figures. starting with small portraits.

Fair Park Texas Star Fireworks

I had a great time shooting the fireworks at fair park. I found myself a nice perch and pointed my lens at the texas star. I held the shutter open for long exposures so i could capture the fireworks as well as the Ferris wheel.
Thanks Photopol.us for spotlighting my photo!

Restoring my 1967 VW Split Window Transporter

I love seeing those old vw magazine ads, don't you?
Check out the cool cutaway of the famous "barndoor" transporter.

The summer weather has renewed my interest in restoring my vw bus , I just sanded and primed the front bumper, and i'm sanding the side windows , hopefully they will be back on soon!
more photos to follow.

A big shout out to Mike at Black Gold VW , Jimmie from Cartenders , Bus Boys inc. , West Coast Metric and V-Dub folks.

Sneak Peek at Cymon and Reggie for Attack of the Designer Toy Show.

Cymon and Reggie are mischievous residents of expo park where being a little strange is the norm.
Cymon has two accessories a pipe wrench and a paint brush , when he's not out being creative with the brush then he's probably causing a little trouble , generally all in the name of art.
Reggie is Cymon's sidekick , he carries a stick to poke at things while he's out exploring, you never know what you might find.


Jeremy From Toycyte was nice enough to mention me and my resin figures , so go check out his site. Thanks Jeremy!!

New Resin Figure " Reggie Raccoon"by Edward Ruiz

His Name is Reggie he's cast in Resin and stands 6 inches tall. He carries a sharpened stick.
I was inspired by a real live raccoon that lives on the sidewalk in my neighbor hood. Friendly, curious and very mischievous.I saw him eating puke off the street one night.Some drunk left him a meal. bleech!
Oh well, I still love him.

Push play another member of SOS , performs using modified toys as his musical instrument. a real circuit bender! Ricky Rasura of The Polyphonic Spree is also a member and lends his talent with the Harp. Beats provided by musician Mid-Air. Very cool combination of music and visuals a must see performance.
