Last preview for "5 eyed dragon show" @ Dragotoni / Custom by Brent Nolasco



The concept behind this custom was to make a fusion of a couple of my favorite vinyl toys. A lot of the pieces where leftovers from other toys pieces that I didn't use for customs. I also ended up using one of my Gordo resin figures from Myplasticheart. The custom changed a couple of times as it was being made. At one point, the custom got too complex and I decided to simplify it so that the other platforms would not be so obscure, and just compliment each other.



Title: Fevers and Translucent Dreams

Medium: Aves Sculpt, Vinyl Toys, My Resin Figure by MPH, Found Objects, Acrylic Paints

Vinyl Toy Platforms and Resin Figures: Nolasco, Pardee, Craola, Coop

"Bic Buddy Custom Show" Custom By Brent Nolasco

Here is my Bic Buddy Custom for the show.
"Bic Buddy Show"  March 27th LA & April 9th NYC


Custom info:
Title: Many life times have past.

Platform: Bic Buddy

Medium: Ave Sculpt, Wood, Plastic, Vinyl Toy Left Overs, Found Objects, Acrylic Paint and a lot of work.

"This custom was a lot of work. It seems like it demanded and wanted my full attention like a child. The concept behind this custom was to sculpt a little more then I use to. The paint job is to be abstract and defined all at the same time. So when you are look at it you visually go from things being transparent ,translucent to defended. To construct the piece I used Ave Sculpt to sculpt the head and other parts of the body. With all my custom I like to use a variety of objects and materials to make the custom."

"Five Eyed Dragon Show" My Second Preview "Concept Study No.01

"Spankey Stokes Write Up"  On my second preview for the "5 Eyed Dragon show" 
Thanks !
Brent Nolasco just sent over some sweet pictures of his latest custom for the "5 Eyed Dragon Show" at Dragatomi on April 10th. This piece, although it may look unfinished, that is the intention, and Brent's focus this year with his customs is going to be on the form! Brent says "Adding paint might take away from the piece, and this year I'm going to keep some customs with out paint. So you can focus more on the fusions of all the platforms and the concept behind the customs." I think that is a great idea and I have felt that way about alot of pieces in the past not just from Brent but other artists (including my own work) that show off their pieces all primed, without paint, they look amazing and then after adding paint something is lost.




The title of this pieces is "Concept Study No.01", and is a mesh of many vinyl pieces including, but not limited to Craola, Eaton, Mindstyle, and also included in the mix is found objects, Aves Sculpt, plastic, and prime... and what a mash up of pure awesomeness!
