I Pity Da Foo!!



Here's another Munny that has been converted into a childhood hero of mine, Mr.T! This one was a straight shoot and required no additional sculpting, just a simple paint application.

How to customize a Munny: Step 1


Well you can pick up your very own standard Munny Doll at some novelty shops. I've gone to Urban Outfitters actually for these guys. Anyhow, you could just dive into it and start painting directly on the Munny, but for this project I decided to do Tinker Bell and decided it would be best to add some pixie features using paper clay.

Step 2


Once the paper clay has dried it's time to start applying the base coats for the paint job.

Step 3


Using a rubber mold I made, I cast clear resin with a tint of blue and some sweet pixie dust for Tinker Bell's wings.

Step 4


Put it all together and, Viola!!!! Now you have a punk rock Tink!!

Charlie Mingus



This here is a painting I did for one of my sweetest doggs ever! He's a big fan of jazz and in particular, Charles Mingus. It sometimes gets a bit difficult making certain people fit my moDiD style, but I think I pulled it off pretty nicely. I also had fun with this one because I strayed from my usual style of painting and just did an outline.

Prairie Homesick


This here is a pretty old piece, probably over five years old. In fact I think it might be the first painting I did using my moDiD alias. So here you have it kids, my tribute to the Lone Ranger and Tonto, the original dynamic duo! *Did you know: that the Lone Rangers mask was fashioned from his recently deceased brothers vest! In fact, Tonto was the one that made it all the while the Lone Ranger recuperated from the ambush by the Cavendish Gang. Rumor has it that Tonto will be joining the cast of next seasons Project Runway!
