'Lefty' Moody Custom by Bovinyl (Canada)
Friday, August 20, 2010
Meet Lefty, the demolition expert. Well, at least he thinks he's an expert. His dented and
scarred body tell a much different story. Constructed out of metal and
held together by rivets, this veteran of intergalactic mining, has seen
better days. Lefty is now a 'righty' after holding onto a stick of dynamite a bit too long ... he blowed himself up reeeeal good.
We
love putting these faux metal customs together. We used a rust patina
solution that can be picked up at most craft stores. It usually takes
multiple applications to get the look, however the final product
definitely makes the Moody platform appear to be constructed out of
rusted metal rather than vinyl. The rivets were created using
upholstery pins. The hat and dynamite were sculpted out of Super
Sculpey.

Moody Platform Takes Flight
Friday, July 09, 2010
Bovinyl is currently working on its next platform, 'Winged Moody'. We've talked about creating a flying bovine for quite some time and finally got around to working on our first prototype. The 'Winged Moody' provides
the artist with a wider range of customizing options. We think that the
wings definitely add a totally new dimension to the Moody platform.

Cosmoonaut Stencil Art by Jason Trotter (Canada)
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
Stencil artist, Jason Trotter, sent us images of his recently completed Cosmoonaut art piece. The image was stenciled
onto an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of Garnet 60-grit sandpaper. The unique
application of black ink over the speckled, grainy surface of the sandpaper is very
effective. He's hoping to transfer the same image, only much larger, onto
a brick wall someday soon.
Jason has been producing large
format stencils for the past decade. He draws his inspiration from
other contemporary stencil artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey.
He recently completed a number of commission pieces for the
municipality of Lethbridge. The pieces were stenciled on expanded metal
sheets and were installed on the sides of historic buildings. The
subject matter for his pieces ranges from historic iconic images to
more contemporary images such as Lucha Libre.
His latest stencil
project, large-scale postage stamp forms on wood, is currently on
display at the Penny Coffee House gallery in downtown Lethbridge.
