Slurgtoy#1 reworked + making of

Admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:17:23 +0000

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.

Preliminary report

Admin — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:03:39 +0000

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.

Prototypes done

Admin — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:31:04 +0000

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.

The huge one

Admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:32:16 +0000

As i have written, there is a huge Slurg comming into existence besides the five little slurgtoys.
Because of the weight which i want to hold relatively light, i just used welded copper bars.
The whole thing will be covered with wiremesh, fabric, and paper-mâché.

Here is another detail of the Construct. Others would sell this as art.

Little big preview

Admin — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:20:11 +0000

Today you get a little big preview about my running project, which i want to finish till end of march. The project is about the three Dinmensional covering of my Slurg. Aim to reach is, to produce 5 little slurgs in plastic. Furthermore there is a big larger-than-life Slurg in development. (more about this, in the following posts)
The picture shows you the row of Slurgs.
The Slurg on the left hand side is almost ready to be cast. Just a little bit more sanding for him.
Two of them (2.f.l und 3.f.l.) are just rough cutted. Number five and six are fresh baked today.
Im really curious about the achievement and hold you up to date!
