 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
This is an amazing figure. Mars is the man but beyond that Brin (the sculptor) is just phenomenal. I mean look at those hands.

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
I really like Mars1's paintings. The figures are cool but they just seem out of place outside the context of the painting.

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
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.

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
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!

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
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

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
Alien hands. Very cool sculpt. The bronze piece should be crazy! I could never afford it. Will just have to admire from affar.

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
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

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
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.

 Re: Electric Monkey Man by Mars-1
I like his paintings Bert. Very Murakamish. Completely different than what i'm used to from him.
