Sketchbot Custom Reveal, New York & MyPlasticHeart

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

So on Friday 26th March, the Sketchbot custom show launched at myplasticheart in New York. My custom, called ‘Monument’, was one of 50 artist pieces on show and here are some photos of my piece.

There are more photos of it in my Flickr set and also a second Flickr set of photos and notes of the process I used to create the piece.

I flew out to New York with my wife and kids on the Thursday to coincide with the launch night and we spent 5 fantastic days in New York on a short break, getting back earlier today. It’s the first time I’ve been to New York and I fell in love with the place. At the friday launch night event at myplasticheart for the Sketchbot show I got to meet so many artists that I admire, such as Steve Talkowski (the Sketchbot creator), Lou Pimental, Eric from Argonaut Resins and so many others.

If you’re interested, my piece is available for purchase from the myplasticheart web site.

Sketchbot Custom Teaser

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I pretty much finished my Sketchbot custom last night, apart from some varnishing which will happen later in the week once the paint has fully dried. I showed some pictures of it to Steve Talkowski, who is Sketchbot’s creator and invited me to participate in the show, and he encouraged me to post a teaser image ahead of the show so here it is.

What you’re seeing a little over 2cm tall :) And that’s all you’re getting before the show opens on 26th March at myplasticheart in New York.

Sketchbot Custom Show in NYC with a Custom by Me

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Steve Talkowski has finally lifted the lid off the Sketchbot custom show that will be taking place at myplasticheart in New York, opening on March 26th. Which means that I can also lift the lid on my involvement as there will be a custom Sketchbot by myself on show. I’ve included the promo card images below, click on them for bigger versions.

It’s going to be a big show of customs, with 50 different artists involved. Click the image below to see just who’s doing a custom Sketchbot.

I just hope my custom makes it across the pond in one piece once it’s finished…
