Gorilla Grodd Mighty Mugg (Create Your Own Vinyl Character Contest) Part 1
I had a blast today at Coliseum of Comics Seminole Towne Center 1 Year Anniversary Celebration. I participated in their Vinyl Fever (2-hr timed) create your own character contest.
Brought all my goodies: Acrylic paints, brushes, water... the works.
The Mugg started out white. I had to paint the entire thing black first. Was hurrying. While the black dried I made his necklace (see on final) Once it was all black I stated building up the mid-tones of the "skin" areas of the ape. Didn't have time to draw anything. Just went for the ride.
About and hour and twenty minutes in.

Gorilla Grodd Mighty Mugg (Create Your Own Vinyl Character Contest) Part 2
All done. Finished around 1:55 p.m. (Ended at 2pm)
The finishing touch was the warrior necklace, adorned with the Superman, The Flash, and Batman logos crossed out in red. I had the logos pre-printed on canvas but assembled necklace on site with twine. Red "X's" are acrylic.
Gorilla Grodd displayed with other entries.

Yes, that’s a “Spidey” belt (you know you want one) and my “Take what my mom had” white flower cape.
Victor, nice “spit super curl”!

Ties to People
Many people have asked about my unique one-of-a-kind painted wooden ties. So with this in mind I thought I’d showcase some of the ties I’ve made and the interesting people who wear them.
Lets kick this off with the actual creator of the tangible wooden tie (Jeff Risk). I do not cut the wood and/or assemble the ties. I buy blank ones from him and add my artwork later.
