Painting of the Day- Picnic on Dantooine!

Not too long ago, I was approached to make a couple of art pieces for a new program called, "The Artmor Project". This is a new program created by the guys over at NeoZaz.com. The program is sixty Star Wars Artists, Podcasters, Fans, and Community Pioneers who were sent blank Mandalorian armor sets to create custom one of a kind pieces of Art. These original works will be auctioned of as the corner stone of the annual Star Wars in Character Star Wars Toy Drive benefitting Toys for Tots. I am a big fan of Toys for Tots and couldn't pass up this grand invitation! This was the first piece that I finished. It is called, "Picnic on Dantooine". You can also see this piece in my deviantart gallery here. 


I will have a table for the Dallas Comic Con: Sci-Fi Expo, February 8-9th. If you are wanting a pre-Sci-Fi Expo commission, let me know and I'll get it ready for pick up at that show. 

All throughout the month of Movember, I'll be continuing to grow my mustache to raise awareness of prostate cancer and I'll be taking donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Do you want to donate?! Head on over to my Movember page and donate! 

Issue 5 of Xenex the Bug Man is available on indyplanet.com! I have all Xenex the Bug Man comic books available for print on demand. You can see that listing here on my store's tab for comic books. 

I have posted some new shirt designs in my Cafepress store. Head over to my Cafepress store and get a shirt or a couple! 

Just to let you know all know, I am taking commissions. If you would like to commission me for original artwork, head over to the commissions tab in store to see how. 

If you have not heard about the Podcast called, "Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff", then it's time I let you know! Jeff and I are on the show where we talk about toys! (Go figure, I mean Go action figure!) Seems simple enough. We pick out a toy line to discuss in each show. We share our childhood memories, our favorite five, and talk about the one toy in the line that got away. Jeff talks about how he cherished his toys and I talk about how they ended up in the garden! The other two shows are The pilot episode, where Jeff and Josh Taylor break down the Pilot Episode in TV series, and The Loosely Based Podcast where Brynna and Jeff compare the book to the movie adaptation! The shows are great!

Pin-up of the day- Namor!

The lord of the sea in the Marvel universe is Namor, and Namor only! Ok, that was a bad joke, but what would you expect coming from me? I don't know too much about The Submariner. The most that I know comes from some varying stories of Fantastic Four. During those tales, the most we see of him deals with him and Sue Storm during the aftermath of them having an affair. That can't be a good defining moment for this man. I should find some good story arcs of this character and read up. This piece is for Taffeta Darling. Namor is one of her favorite characters and while I was in Galveston, the beach had inspired me. I took a little artistic license when it came to his necklace. From what I could tell, he doesn't actually wear one ever, but I felt that it made his aquatic assemble  feel like it belonged to the ocean. You can also see this piece here in my deviantart gallery. 

I'm scheduled to be on the DELol show on Sunday June 23rd talking about Xenex the Bug Man, my custom toys, and Jeff and I's podcast, Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff. I'll be on air with Taffeta, the DELol crew and the Clever Girl Cabaret performers. If you haven't listened to the DELol show, you are truly missing out.

I did buy a table for the Dallas Comic Con: Fan Days on October 4th-6th. If you are wanting a pre-Fan Days commission, let me know and I'll get it ready for pick up at that show. 

Issue 5 of Xenex the Bug Man is available on indyplanet.com! I have all Xenex the Bug Man comic books available for print on demand. You can see that listing here on my store's tab for comic books.

Action Figure Friday- Gripper!

When Jeff and I recorded the Rambo episode for The Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff Podcast, Jeff realized how much I like this guy and snagged him for my Birthday.  So far, he is my only Rambo: Force of Freedom action figure, and already I feel as though my collection is complete! He is perfect! Gripper comes with a machete, five uzis, two bullet belts, one beretta pistol, a uzi shield with motorized backpack, an ankle holster, and a belt with holster. That's a lot of weapons for one dude! Another cool thing about this guy is that he does not break Jeff's number one rule. He is able to hold all of his accessories. And... and he comes with a yellow bionic hand and a eye patch! This dude has seen some action! 

When the Rambo: Force of Freedom toy line by Coleco came to market, I missed out on almost all of the toys. I had one item, an 81 mm Mortar, which Skeletor and General Spidrax used quite often. Now that I have Gripper, I kind of wish I had that mortar again for this guy. I think it would go well with him. I don't know. I might hold out to get a twin mounted 7.62 mm machine gun instead. So many decisions, so little money...

I do have a table for the Sci-Fi Expo on February 9-10th. I'll be there with some new work to sell, my pin-up girl posters, the newest issue of Xenex the Bug Man and custom toys. Jeff will be there with me selling some Marvindog media merchandise and taking toy memory recordings! Stop by, say,"hi", and show your support. I hope to see you there!

I have all Xenex the Bug Man comic books available for print on demand. You can see that listing here on my store's tab for comic books.

Action Figure (toy) Friday- Dr. Dreadful Zombies Bug Lab!

The other day, I found this little gem on a shelf I was straightening up at work. From the look of the box, I just fell in love! I thought, "My God! How cool would that be if I got that and did a review on it?! I could ask Jeff from the podcast, Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff to a video review with me on this toy." I always fail to remember that Jeff doesn't like bugs, and this set glorifies itself on the fact that you can make candy versions of creepy crawlies. But, I digress. 
The Dr. Dreadful labs toys are made by Umagine which is put out through Spin Master (Spin Master put out the recent Tron Legacy Toys). The toys boast the feature of being able to eat whatever you make in the sets. In other words, this is the naughty food maker to the nice foodmaker, the Easy Bake Oven. Now I only have this one set. There have been other sets that have made me look twice in its direction due to it's looking like absolute coolness! The one set that I would like to add to this is the Organ Grinder. It looks rather impressive. At least the box makes it look impressive. 

From what I found with this Bug Lab set is that it is rather easy to use. I had no trouble putting the toy together nor did I have a hard time understanding the directions (unlike the directions to the Ikea furniture). I did notice that when I tried to push the candy gel into the mold, the gel would also push out of the bottom and onto the kitchen counter. I solved this little problem with a little piece of plastic bag set under the candy disc in the candy well. It's not a 100% clean counter approach, but it will get more mix into the mold instead of on the table. All in all, the candy is ok. The grape is way better than the apple mix. The true selling feature of this is being able to watch the candy mix push up into the semi clear mold. it really is fun to watch. I really like the design of this toy set, and initially that is what sold me on getting it. The other was the price. I was able to get this set for a ridiculously low price due to it being on sell. I do wish that the gray plastic was molded in a darker color. And I also wish that the bug molds were in the bluish color like in the package photo, but what can you do. This would be a fun stocking stuffer and/or small gift to give a young boy or any child that enjoys gross things. 

Here is a listing of this toy on amazon: Dr. Dreadful Gummy Bugs
