Custom Toy of the Week- "LV-426"!
Back last fall, I participated in the Vinyl Thoughts Art Show 6. I had two pieces in show that reflected two of my loved film franchises, Alien, and Predator. My first piece was reflective of Alien. This piece, "LV-426", was a fun challenge. I wanted to add elements that spoke of the stillness of the first of the film before all the steam and spinning lights. One of my favorite scenes is when the Nostromo and ore station are coming up to the gas giant and the multiple moons. To capture that look, I made the head the space scene adding the 3-D element of the Nostromo and Station as a sculpted piece. The rest of the custom toy was set up to reflect my next favorite part of the film, the exploration of the derelict spacecraft and the egg field. I had to rearrange a few items and change a little of the shape of some of the exploration suits. This suit is Kain's, using the yellow band as his designated color. Each of the egg sacks were hand sculpted and the based was colored to mimic the worm metal coloring of the pads of the space suit. I had a great time building this custom vinyl toy for the Vinyl Thoughts Art Show! Below are more pictures of this toy after the messages below. You can also see this toy on my deviantart page here. You can follow up on Vinyl Thoughts on their webpage.
So, for all of you wereworm lovers and lovers of my work, I have toys, and art pieces for sale in my Storenvy shop. I'll continue to add awesome pieces to the shop over the summer. If you see something you like, don't hesitate to purchase it. Many of these pieces will be limited.

Production Plush Toy- The Wereworm Jeff!
I'm still not sure what I was thinking when I first started buying material for this one. I'm not sure what was going through my head, but I am glad that I followed my instincts! This toy plush here is a Wereworm! More importantly, it is Jeff, the Wereworm! And yes, for all of the Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff podcast fans, this toy was named after my best bud even though it looks nothing like him! This toy is a stuffed plush with a possible wire frame and hand painted plastic face and stinger. He sports glow-in-the-dark stripes and a bright fuzzy body. I already have another Wereworm face and stinger sculpted, so expect another one of these toys to be on its way! The toy pictured is an actual production piece. If you'd like to pre-purchase one, send me an e-mail. There are also more pictures of this piece below the important messages below.
I have been asked to help my amazing local community of Denton, Texas with theirMini A-Kon on February 28th, 2015. I'll be making a piece to auction there and doing a live sketch session there to add another piece for auction later that day. The money raised will go to the charity, "For the Love of Art": an art group helping the elderly. If you are in the area, stop by and say, "Hi"!
Recently, I was being filmed for a convention documentary called, Unconventional. You can see it here. While you are at it, you should check out Johnathan Paul's other video work here.

Production Plush Toy- Cosmik Cat!
This toy marks a new year for me as a toy designer and fabricator in a couple of ways. First, as I progress as a toy creator, I push myself to be able to make a toy that is able to be reproduced by myself in mass to offer to you all. This toy does that by using molding processes and liquid plastics. Second, it solidifies my ongoing desire to make creatures and monsters for a living! I love making bright and colorful little monsters for you all to take home! If you think about it, my artist name, Barnlord, signifies that I work with creatures. They just happen to look like monsters! So, without any more hesitation, I present to you, "Cosmik Cat"! This project has been kept hidden in the dark for a while. I've been waiting for a good chance to spring him fourth to the public. The make-up of this creature is mainly fuzzy plush material with a scaly vinyl underbelly. His face and claws are made of a lightweight plastic with paint application. His tongue is made of a flexible silicon and his collar is a combination of plastic and soft goods materials. The toy pictured is the first prototype. I will have many more made soon. If you'd like to pre-purchase one, send me an e-mail. There are also more pictures of this piece below the important messages below.

Painting of the Day- "Morning Flight"!
"Morning Flight", is a 12" X 24" canvas acrylic painting that I made for my father for Christmas this last year. I wanted to make him a painting that had two of his favorite things; nature and ducks. I chose the early morning as the setting because it reminded me of going duck hunting with him at an early age. We would always go out very early and sit in the duck blind. I probably talked the whole time and drove my father crazy, but he'd take me along. Even though I didn't stick with duck hunting as I grew up, these adventures with my Dad always stuck with me. This painting reminds me of those mornings. It reminds me of the beauty of nature. You can see this piece in my deviantart gallery as well here.

Custom Toy of the Day- "The Old Barn's Foundation"!
"The Old Barn's Foundation", was a Christmas gift for my niece this last year of 2014. I had heard tale that she liked old barns and when I was first going into the idea of making a barn piece for her, I thought of just making a painting. Every time I would think about working on a barn piece, I couldn't see myself working on a painting. It needed something more! After giving the project much thought, I decided to make a barn from a Creatology blank toy. The true test for me was if I could make a barn and yet keep the look of the toy. I decided to use the head of the toy as the barn, but make the body the roots and dirt. That way I could keep a lot of the look of the toy there. I sculpted roots into the feet and body. I made roots into the hands and built up the land around the left hand. I used potting soil and natural dirt for the cover of the roots. I sculpted in the tree into the hand. The leaves are a type of model moss. Finally, I used very small wood sticks to make the barn on the head. At first, I was wanting to use a cube headed toy, but could not find one. I opted for this pie shaped head in a time of need. In the end, I think it worked out better than what I had initially planned. A little paint, some details, sanding and corrugated cardboard, helped finish the rest of the head. When I first finished this piece, I didn't want to get rid of it. I love this piece! I am very happy to know that it has found a good home. As always, I'll have more pictures after the messages below. I have been asked to help with my awesome local community of Denton, Texas with their Mini A-Kon on February 28th, 2015. I'll be making a piece to auction there and doing a live sketch session their to add another piece for auction to raise money for a local project.
