Mario Martinez is dropping some new science what...??? Send the kids back to the lab for more practice...!!!

This is an amazing figure. Mars is the man but beyond that Brin (the sculptor) is just phenomenal. I mean look at those hands.

I really like Mars1's paintings. The figures are cool but they just seem out of place outside the context of the painting.

damn, there's no word on a production run. I'd love to have that bronze proto though! lol

this sculpt is sick!

I really love Mario's land/space-scape paintings...don't particularly dig his character-based paintings, but I like some of his figures. I dunno that I'd buy one, but this could look pretty nice with the right color application.

will try to make the opening saturday at bucheon gallery (have no idea where that is)

Apparently it'll be for sale: http://www.bucheon.com/

Thanks for the heads-up, Jeff! I hadn't checked his site in a few weeks (cos it's never updated), so I didn't realize he had a show coming up so soon!

Really diggin the sculpt. I'll reserve judgment after I see painted examples.

no prob. someone posted it on another forum... if i go i'll make sure to post some pics

The gallery description says these are in bronze which means big $$$. Anyone know for sure if there will be a vinyl painted version?

Mario said he had a couple of toys in the pipeline, including a real big ass piece . . . this has a ton of detail so fingers are crossed it could be this guy

Thanks for sharing about the sculptor Luke..Brin eh. What amazing hands, on the sculpt and the sculptor.

I like!

Thanks for posting the show, rhinojeff. I might have to check it out.

The hands on this are insane... Really skinny too.

Alien hands. Very cool sculpt.
The bronze piece should be crazy! I could never afford it. Will just have to admire from affar.

awesome

Price is $6500 ... I've asked as it's one rad sculpture but the price is

Awesome stuff.
Hopefully be able to see it.

Here's some pics from Mars-1 show ... if you think these photos suck, ask hiro for some pics (he had a nicer camera when i saw him there)

really liked this one... looks like something i saw in one of my calculus books


i was tempted to get one of these. $950/ea and editions of 10. the minor details on the flower stuff around the face & around the arm joints were a little spotty, but still very cool

apparently hiro's girl broke off a piece from the top of the head to try and hang it on his lip ring. the gallery then confiscated his hat until he glued it back on.

this thing is the shit. very detailed and clean.. but bronze and very pricey

Gorgeous paintings! Wish I could afford one...

I really like these new paintings. There seems to be more colors in his work compared to the last time I saw his stuff months ago or at least more vibrant colors.

I like his paintings Bert. Very Murakamish. Completely different than what i'm used to from him.
