I´ve worked pretty hard to get the Slurgtoy#1 finaly done!
Lots of sanding hours (…again) filled my last 2 months with more dust, than i expected by myself.
But it´s official now, The Slurgtoy#1 is gonna be produced in an strictely limited edition of 100 pieces.
Im proud to say, that my label is the creaturelounge, which im now part of.
Below I have some pictures of the prototype reworks. Check out the huge difference in the before and after though!
Sometimes i felt like a plastic surgent


The arms got a facelift, too

The teeth, gone…

…and replaced

…after some sanding hours…days…

Finally the Slurgs toys are sanded, painted and set into the scenary.
The last view days i was just on sanding the entire time, but now i can say, it was totaly worth it.
Now i can rest easy again and my fingers get back their old fingerprints…

The Slurgs are available after the exhibition.
Each piece $60.

Detailed pictures and a nice short story follows soon.

The fat Slurg is growing up. The welded parts, the Slurg framework, are covered with the wiremesh. The next step is the fabric and the glue, which keeps the construction grounded. After that the papermaché party with A LOT of Paste follows. I am looking forward for this part!
One arm is already covered, at the moment he looks like a swamp monster.

After hours and hours of sanding and repairing broken corners it´s finally done. The Slurg Prototypes are ready to mould. In context of a group critique on Friday we had a mini exhibition of the finished objects (which turned out pretty well by the way). In the background (pink) you can see the first two moulds. The white things on the right hand side are the mothermoulds of them but they won´t be used cause the silicon-rubber keeps for itself if filled.
