Munny: Happy Birthday Gianna
Once of my nieces is obsessed with Dunnys… and she just turned 2 years old yesterday. Yea, sounds crazy doesn’t it? Once she saw my insane collection a while back (commonly referred to as “The Dunny Museum”) she was completely floored. Her jaw dropped and she screamed “Dunny” over and over. I figured it was only a natural progression to give her a custom Munny for her birthday… even if she is only 2.

Beardy Munny: Phase 1
When Kidrobot introduced their new do-it-yourself MUNNYWORLD shapes, I saw Bub and instantly pictured him with a beard. I haven’t had time until now to actually create the custom, but finally I’ve nearly completed this guy.
Got a little inspiration from Samurai Jack and (one of my favorite toy designers) Huck Gee. I still think he needs an accessory of sorts. We’ll see what I can come up with.

A Gift for Honey (Dunny)
For the past few months I’ve been taking pictures for my buddy, Matt. He customizes tons of vinyl toys and needs pictures for his store. As a “thank you” for all the pictures I’ve taken, he made me this little “Honey Dunny.” It looks awesome. Thanks Matt!

Dunny Fatale Series
Another year, another Dunny Series. That reminds me – I need to update my vinyl collection list. I have… so many… it’s… obscene. I love Dunnys the most. Whenever a new series comes around, it’s like Christmas. Opening all those tiny boxes, not knowing what’s inside, fun little toys with great designs. It’s really exhilarating. And the toys always look different in person. Always. So this afternoon around 12:45PM at Kidrobot NY, I grabbed a case of the new Fatale Series. With the purchase of a case, they were... MORE

Slim Munny
Commissioned Mini Munny for Southside Slim. I was experimenting with the larger Sharpie Paint Markers I have. They definitely feel nicer than the Extra Fine Tip. The paint flow is much more even and there is less clogging/drying – but it’s frustrating that I can’t achieve fine detail. I still have a few more brands of paint marker to try though, so we’ll see. (SIDENOTE: I despise DECO COLOR paint markers even more than before. After clear coating my R50 Munny, the marker seemed to be “sealed” – no long... MORE

Custom Munny: R50 Munny Part 3
Now that I’m on the “custom vinyl toy creation” bandwagon, I really wanted to test out some paint markers, so I made this little guy. And… I really hate paint markers. I tried two different types:
Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Markers: I feel like even with an Extra Fine Point, the tip is still too large. The paint flow was alright, a bit bumpy on the Munny’s surface though. I didn’t have the precession I would have wanted. It’s just really frustrating when I can’t achieve the kind of precision and ... MORE

Dunny & Co.
I prefer Silver to Gold and Dunnys to Diamonds. My favorite Christmas gift this year is this doughnut link necklace in silver from Tiffany & Co. with a silver Dunny charm from Kidrobot. That is all. Thanks my.

Custom Munny: Tribute to Tilt: Part 3
I finally completed my first custom Munny. (Tribute to Tilt) Hooray! OK, so there are a bunch of problems, it’s not perfect, but overall it came out pretty nice. I’ve got to give myself a little credit. I’m new at toy customization, and I’ve never used an airbrush before today. Sure, I made a lot of mistakes, but I’m looking to find out the error of my ways. Few things I’ve learned already…
Give light coats (thin mist) and let each coat them dry thoroughly between applications.
Do not overcoat.
Do not... MORE

After several coats of primer, I think this guy is ready for airbrushing. I’ll probably get to that sometime this weekend. He is either gonna be Pearlized Magenta or Fluorescent Raspberry. I’m thinkin’ the former.
Check out Part One.
