Disneyland Christmas

I did this painting for Family.com's Community site's Christmas theme this year. I based the castle on a vintage Illustration of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. It was fun to work on, but boy was it rushed!!

Santa Sketch

Here is the original sketch of the Santa Papercraft character showing some of his other arm possibilities.

Santa meets Whaleboy

Here is a pick I took of the Old Saint Nick papercraft figure I made and my Whaleboy figure. You can get the Santa PDF here.http://familyfun.go.com/printables/season/printable/santa-claus-paper-craft/santa-claus-paper-craft.html?campaign=NLC-NL_Print&link=Section2Link3
Merry Christmas.

German Armor

I'm a WWI-II nut and I often get some cool books filled with photos for reference, and a few toys. A few years ago I started collecting 1/6th scale military figures, mostly WWII, from companies like Dragon and Blue Box Toys from China. This new collecting addiction I blame on my friend Taesoo Kim.

A new comer to the 1/6th scale market was America’s Sideshow collectables who currently do an awesome 1/6th scale Star Wars line, but I digress. Among one of Sideshow’s toy line in the past few years was their WWI collection, among one of their WWI figures was a cool German Trench Raider in body armor! I was so impressed by the cool lobster style breastplate and spiked mace that i had to get one! A couple years later I was fortunate to receive a DK Eyewitness book featuring that very same German Body armor from 1916!!
