What do you get when you mix Themendous with Monsterpalooza?

A MONSTER MASH!


 

If you're into monsters, syfy and the art behind this great genre, then Monsterpalooza is the place for you to be!  And since we certainly are, it's the place and show, for us as well.  But what do we exhibit amongst such great talent like Steve Wang, Rick Lazzarini, and Stan Winston School of Character Arts?   Well, in wanting to showcase our abilities and contribution to this nail biting and hair raising event, Themendous has teamed up with the great Emmy Award-nominated director, producer and illustrator: David Hartman to produce an oversized, fully sculpted replica of Hartman's "Monster Mash" from his amazing collection of illustrations at Sideshow Monkey.  The final will be a whopping ten feet tall by seven feet wide, dripping with monster madness and some secret special effects!  The original scene is a mash up of some of our favorite horror figures, including a towering classic Frankenstein, a creepy little Dracula, and a fierce wolf man in the mist of a gruesome battle with a decrepit mummy!  And of course, there are two skimpy attired sexy lady characters who fearfully come across this epic scene of horror at just the right moment!  Monsterpalooza is going to be a Themendous event!  Be sure to visit us and our evil collaboration in "the Museum" at Monsterpalooza this March! 


Monsterpalooza will be held in Burbank, California on March 27-29th!  It is the official Art of Monster expo where thousands of horror fans flock to attend!  We are super excited to meet guests stars like Linda Blair of the Exorcist and Sonny Chiba of Street Fighter and Kill Bill!  Other visual artists participating include Don Lanning, Glenn Hetrick,  Mike Hill, and a boiling cauldron of others here !   We can't wait until March!!

Cristiano Ronaldo's Sculpture Gone Wrong

Cristiano Ronaldo is represented by a bronze bust of his "likeness", and the internets on FIRE! World famous athlete with all the charm and good looks one could ask for..... clearly missed in this bronze replica.   So how in the world does this happen?   When creating a figurative life portrait sculpture, one collects imagery from all angles to replicate in form.  This piece was sculpted in clay first to then cast in bronze.  Clay is the most forgiving and easily adjusted material known to sculptors!  So who approved this facial expression as a correct representation of Cristiano Ronaldo?  Or did the artist not reveal any progress photos as the sculpture came into form?  Was he granted the job just to reveal this final with any updates in between?  The internet has been buzzing with endless memes criticizing the bust , as Cristiano has to grit and bear this permanent representation of himself.  And how did the artist respond to the outrage ?  He com

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 PREVIEW

One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in. We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available. This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications. Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not b
