Posted a review of the Far Out West show on Neon Monster's blog: http://blog.neonmonster.com/gallery/far ... ith-arbito Nearly the same photos as everybody else, but a few shout-outs and light commentary.
I wish I could have been at the show to see those money banks in person! I ended up with these two, and coincidentally Jesse put them side by side. I guess it was meant to be. Thanks for the pic zincsaucier442
sounds interesting. i'll have to wait and see what the final sculpt looks like, but i'm sure it'll be nothing but class knowing what arbie puts out.. i found it somewhat funny that alex basically said that resin begins and ends with le merde.. i know it was tounge in cheek, but to me, arbito's resins are smoother, cleaner, and often more vibrant.. not a hit at mike in any way,,, i love his work as well, but for very different reasons which tend to lie more along the lines of character development and the dynamics of his pieces..
I meant it as a joke as Arbito has been doing resin for quite a long time. Some of it was a comment on how I feel Mike really busted open resin as a true DIY toy medium.
I think Itokin probably made the crazyist resin figures and they were out before Mike's. There is no doubt Mike opened up the market for resin and people like Arbito and Monster Hero have thrived in it. I love resin stuff so I hope the resin collector base continues to grow. I do find it interesting almost all the resin artists use pseudonyms: I wonder why that is?
Great video coverage. Alex with his Tokyo Tower mic is always a riot. My fav piece was this one (pic from Toybotstudios) I wonder what the original bank was called. The paint work on this one is magic. Someone who attended please PM on how much it went for. I prolly can't afford it but I'm very curious
I am buying that bank on Monday if it is still for sale. It is one of the coolest items to come through our doors in a long time.
If I had the money that bank would have been gone by the time it hit online. Arbitos color choices are some of the best, period. Damn I want this bank, I hope he does more.
beautiful figures! the Indian reminds me of an 70 'years Italian television spot of "girella" chocolate cake.
New 1/1 for Wondercon has been posted on Arbito's Flickr Love the green resin/painted on the head of the 1st Seeker!
Wow! These look great. Looks like they're for Neon Monster's Wondercon Resin Showcase. Info: http://blog.neonmonster.com/gallery/arbito-for-wondercon-resin-showcase/
Itokin Park is what motivated me to start in resin. Arbito and MonstreHero are the ones that make me second guess continuing.
Love your sculpts! they are so smooth and clean. and i love your characters too!!!!! got to check out a couple at the TC show, and was in toy heaven!!!!!!!
