The Google Nexus One




Well, here we all are, January 5th 2010.  As the world eagerly awaits the news that Google will release something big, HUGE, in fact, we all wonder if the rumors are true.  Will it be the Nexus One that the internet world is buzzed about?  There were secret photos and youtube videos and they were quickly removed off the face of youtube and then there were and are videos and photos that seem to be there to stay.  There are articles and more articles.  Rumors and rumors.  Is it happening yes or no?




One of the things we do here at the Custom Creations theming shop, is build oversized props.
Last year Google Corp. had contacted us and asked us to build an oversized Android robot for the launch of Android.  we jumped to the occasion and finished that bad boy in 4 days!  Then came Cupcake at 8' tall, then came Donut at 8' diameter and then Eclair at 10' long.  Google has been good to us.
Why?  Well, to toot our own horn, we do excell at what we do small or large, we get the job done.  Of course being the self proclaimed "king of HUGE" doesn't hurt.

So where am I going with this?  Obviously I am not a writer.  Well, January 5th 2010 may well go down on the record books as a momentous occasion.  Not just because of Googles announcement (whatever that may be ;P) but because Custom Creations will have had somewhat of a hand in it.  (the day of course)  How?  Well, I am sure that at the press release, reporters will be viewing our handywork and taking pictures of not only what we built in the past, but what we have built for January 5th.

YESSSSSS.  We have been keeping our mouths shut about what we know.  While the internet world scratched their heads, We here at Custom Creations knew all along and have been busting at the seams with the inside information for the past month!  Of course with this project, there was a really special perk and that was...... a special "gift" of a sort.   A sweet gift at that.  At this point, do I really need to say it?

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

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
