Something not from the depths of my skull for a change

Well, hello folks.
There will be more coming from me VERY soon, two show pieces - One from my own Beware Tall Grass ( more info to be found here http://bewaretallgrass.blogspot.com ) and another for a more secretive Halloween show being held this October, but today I'm here to get you to spend your hard earned dosh for a good cause.

Mega talented ausomesauce artist Sarah (bka. Lunabee) has put up her own custom Robolucha for sale on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200657692700#ht_500wt_1314



100% of the winnings from this gorgeous piece will be going to Cancer Research UK
which is an ace cause, so seriously go and check it out.

First resin piece

Hey kids, sorry for the lack of updates recently but luckily that's been because I've been stupidly busy.
Mass of pieces in the works at the moment, including my first resin piece which you can see the sneak preview of here: http://www.spankystokes.com/2011/09/killbot-resin-teaser-from-fadeworks.html

It'll have 4 points of articulation, (the arms and tracks to be precise) and cast from gold pigmented resin, really can't wait to get started on these guys.

Another project in the works at the moment is Code Babushka, a set of Russian nesting dolls that'll be sold in a unique blindbox fashion, hopefully i'll be able to post up some WIP's of these soon, but they've been put on the backburner for a little while since I've been waiting for lazer cut parts.

But the biggest news is Beware Tall Grass, a show I'm hosting this year at Kidrobot London on November 18th! You can find out more information about the show at http://bewaretallgrass.blogspot.com/  , the place for image updates, show news and everything you could want to know about the show.

This'll be a busy few months for me, but I'll try to keep you all as updated as I can

Stay safe, and keep one eye open

Hello

Well, it's been a while coming, but welcome to the portfolio website of Fadeworks.
Here you can find out about me, see my pieces, and contact me for commission work.
Things have been manic recently, with a piece currently in progress for the #Heavy Metal Qee project that can be seen here http://www.heavymetalqee.com/gallery/fadeworks/

A series of custom TokiDoki Unicornos (more information soon), and a piece for Munnyworlds Megacontest named Japan Rebuild Unit 01: HOPE

More images will be up in the gallery soon, but for now here's a little backstory.

"Japan Rebuild Unit 01:HOPE was created when a government environmental agency were contracted to create a machine designed to cool nuclear units, along with aiding in area relief by rebuilding homes, draining water, and helping civilians in any way it could in the event of natural disasters.

Attempts were made to create a machine that could achieve all of these tasks, but most machines caused more damage than good since they lacked the ability to deal with human needs.
HOPE was the first machine to be created with a sense of empathy.
It felt for the people it fought to save, and continued to do so until its engine ran out in the year 2230."
You'll soon be able to vote on this one, so as soon as the links up I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a facebook like.
Thanks guys!
