Poker Face Munny...

So I've been working constantly on projects as you know...
DanMan & BertoBoy slide-show movie, CMIYC Illustrations, Toy customs; yadda yadda yadda.
It's a lot of work but i must say it feels great to have a shit load of ideas and the motivation to actually work on these projects.
I recently go not that I will be featured in another Antagonist Movement art show this coming October. I will be designing the e-card poster for the event and will soon post it up.

Now for some toys!!!
First I wanna show the progress of the DanMan and BertoBoy Mini Munny Figures...

I'm really excited about these little guys, my own characters made into toys :-P
After this my next goal is to design my Neptune character which will be extremely awesome!!!
ANYWAYS... I present to you... Lady Gaga... Poker Face!!!

and now... Poker Face Munny!!!



There it is, Lady Gaga with Poker Face mask and Disco Stick and all :-D
I am very happy with how this came out.
This piece inspired me to come up with a few other celebrity munny figures... mainly singers off their music videos... I'll give you a hit on 2 that I am planning to do...
Gwen Stefani in "Ex-Girlfriend" and Amy Winehouse in "Tears Dry On Their Own" ;-)
