A Donkey Kong Trophy for Steve Wiebe
Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 9:03PM Here's a video I just got from Steve Wiebe, whom you may know as the Donkey Kong champion from the film King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Being a big fan of both Donkey Kong and Steve Wiebe, I made him a trophy to commemorate his recent regaining of the Twin Galaxies record! So he made me a video to say thanks... but really it was my pleasure! I used my own Don Bomb Kongo figure, and built a custom girder platform with the scores and name plates. The ape was painted by kitbuilder extraordanaire, Robert S. Martin Jr.
Way to go on your record Steve!

Comic-Con News Segment
Monday, July 26, 2010 at 8:24PM Seems my nephew Brandon and I made it on the local news when we were at Comic-Con in San Diego! Lene from KUSI stopped us to talk about the convention, and even let me do a shout-out for Mr.Dandy! It aired almost immediately so I didn't get to see it, but it's out there somewhere. Maybe we'll see it one day. Thanks to those of you who made contact after seeing the segment.

12 years ago...
Sunday, February 28, 2010 at 2:52AM This was the 1998 Mad Model Party in Pasadena.... probably the best show I ever had. I used to go by the name G-Zero, but this was before I knew how important it was to choose a business name that you can secure the dot-com domain for. At that time I only had a sub-page on my father-in-law's website, an afterthought which was ink-stamped on the back of my hurriedly designed biz cards. How the times have changed.
That weekend I only had 2 different figures for offer, but I sold a bunch of them. It was a real victory to get out there, meet the collectors, and sell my own stuff, especially after the crushing blow of having Streamline/Avatar fold up just after getting married. This show also would lead to the meeting that landed me a job at Mattel eventually.
Any guesses as to my age here? I know I look like I was about 13, but I was actually double that.
Another satisfied customer/shill/buddy.

The Secret Word Is "Video-Games"
Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 9:23PM A couple months ago I got a chance to show my video game sculptures on my favorite web show, Coin-Op.tv! Don't let the camera fool you, I'm not really that geeky... well actually I am. My segment starts about 2/3 of the way in, but you'll want to watch the rest of it I'm sure.

coin-op Danny and the Dingo Board Game
Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 9:11PM Danny and Dingo "Board Game" (1 of 7) from ROBUST on Vimeo.
Here's a fun project I worked on in August 2009, under the auspices of the super-cool folks at Eyerus Propaganda!.
Snowboarding fun guys Danny and Dingo needed a board game for their promo, I was tasked to sculpt and build almost all of the toys and stunts you see here. It was a super-fast turn-around, (about 12 days), but it came out well I think. Almost everything had some kind of action feature, and had to stand up to some abuse! I had to figure out how to make the go-cart launch, the statue squirt water, the nuclear plant smoke and glow, the batting cage fire a baseball, etc.
Mr.Dandy
Looks like the commercial actually won a Telly Award for use of hunor in a commercial spot!
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Monday, February 1, 2010 at 11:52PM Here's a commercial for a board game I worked on, I sculpted the lion centerpiece.
The designer of this game, the late Charles (Chip) Stewart, was an extremely kind and talented guy, and a great friend of mine... I miss him quite a lot.
