Up To You

In the studio, I love when imagination transforms whatever project I’m working on into FUN! That ‘magic’ that inspires new and fresh perspectives to how life can be lived.

Funko Vader Re-Painted

Repainted for a ‘warm reception’ … Starting with thoroughly cleaning, then blowing-off the two-piece Funko, masking the translucent red ‘light saber’ was easy peasy, with a few small fragments of blue painter’s tape. Next, primed both pieces with Tamiya white model primer (a personal fave, due to it’s ease of use and timely dry). Finally, painting […]
