hey everybody norm here at once their Clues a 20-19 always once stop by Pat
McGee's booth Pat how you doing great great you got some new stuff this year
this I think is one of the most striking things it's flying monkey tell me about
the making of this well flying monkey kind of evolved from I do a little line
of small little collectible heads and I had this monkey head when I sculpted it
a couple years ago it was high the intention of putting a body on it so I
only really saw the heads I always wanted a flying monkey I love The Wizard
of Oz I love flying monkeys so this year I finally had the time to kind of piece
this thing together but with their tiny heads what's so cool is that they you
have a lot of hair on them yeah you really go all out with making the hair
kind of creepy and glory in the way they're attached is it's a fun store as
a glue no it's all glued and it's like a fur transfer and yeah that's kind of the
one thing we do that mass-production can't do is although they'll find hair
work and that gives me a little advantage and I love hairy free fuzzy
stuff and you know and just what's all over this guy exactly and then to adding
a body of this because so much of it is hair how much are you sculpting versus
how much you know you're not just the hands and the feet i sculpted special
for this and then the bodies just all formed you know I'm recovering in with
hair so it's just got a little bit of a little bit of detail and some paint that
you can see underneath some of the fur but you're painting the fur as well yeah
then we'll paint the first so there's like a white fur on the belly
especially dyed blue fur on top and there's a little brown in the back and
then we're airbrushing it to kind of blend them all so they kind of feel
natural together and then real taxidermy wings that's so cool and also looks like
almost styled in this certain way yeah it's very spicy a little mohawk and
little yeah give a little character when you add firts is it a standard fur that
you use or so it's a like moe hairs and it's all synthetic hairs for the most
part and they come in patches that you can cut outcomes like fabric yeah ok so
there's a process where we go transfer it on and put glue and then stick it on
and cut it and style it and paint it it really accentuates the traditional
sculpting you do on the faces yeah that's yes the element with the
hair is you're essentially sculpting with the hair so when you stick the hair
on it's not done now you got to kind of move it around and you think of it as a
sculpture in its own and totally some other display pieces you have here
so another yeah another new one is we have this oversized skull I have it in a
translucent resin where we have a light you can see in here and it can put
different colors into it with translucent teeth just to give it like a
stylized effect on a base kind of like an art piece and then I have another
style same same sculpture but just a traditional look at a bone colored skull
as well I just thought to be something different you know SIA oversized go like
this so tell me about the making of this is this so this this is actually started
as a small skull that was scanned and then digitally printed to this size and
then once we had the print in foam we came in and put the surface detail all
over the top of it traditionally with clay and then did the traditional molds
from there and then Adam cast is it one giant mole there was a multiple pieces a
jar it will detach all the teeth are separate molds and then the head is like
a on this is a four-piece mold so that's a even of this yeah that's a really big
piece Wow and it allows you then to cast it in
different materials for translucency and opaqueness and in color right yeah and
it just allows for ease come open it and take it apart is that something you're
doing a little more of now taking digital pieces and augmenting with your
traditional lately lately yeah I need to do more of it but this is the first of a
few absolutely seems like it's the future but especially when we're you're
blowing something up bigger and bigger and bigger
yeah it really helps with control that absolutely one thing that we always
loves it you trust your kids up every year EOS tomb and he teases what you
will be doing this year what you end up doing last year for a son was oh yeah
last year actually last year they were these kind of creepy scarecrow guys and
I was here before that they were minions this year they're mostly gonna be in
charge of their own costumes now they're getting a little older so I've seen some
of their drawings but I don't want to reveal anything yes we'll have to catch
up with you outside a monster please - a commonality awesome it's great chat with
you back there
