The Mighty Black Ape is finally assembled! He`s kinda shy....

2007-12-01T10:01:00.001-08:00

Another plushy done. Initially I wanted to make a character with a big head as usual, but then I remembered that I always wanted to try to design one with a smaller head, that would seem empowered. So, this is what came out of it.

2007-12-01T07:19:00.000-08:00

Just finished a cat-shaped wallet. It took me about 5-6 hours to finish this plushy, it may not look like it but it is a pretty complicated one... Anyway I’m happy I’ve finally producing it for a friend of mine... So it’s not available for purchase. It’s a prior order. Sorry to disappoint anyone who would have wanted it.

2007-11-30T01:55:00.000-08:00

Just finished a plushy last night. It’s for a fashion fair coming on 8th December at the "La Scena" club in Bucharest. More info coming soon.

The last image, with the plushy having its hands together it’s actually a gif. Click it to see a 3d view of the product.

Skateboardart second project

2007-05-19T23:31:00.001-07:00

I was lucky enough to receive another used board from the Boarders shop Friday evening. Since I had just a few hours to work on a second project, Saturday morning, I decided to just paint something on the board instead of doing another time consuming installation… So, using acrylics and a black marker I came up with this work called "The physiology of the creative process"
