Steampunk Sheriff Dunny

For this commission I was asked to create anything I wanted as long at it was on the Chuckboy Cyborg Dunny platform. I had only worked on this platform once before when I made the seafaring Scuba Dunny. A month ago I beat the PS3 game Rage and have since been wanting to do a steampunk themed custom. When I was striping and priming the Chuckboy cyborg it hit me that this was the perfect platform to take in a steampunk direction. I had a blast creating this little sci-fi western sheriff and hope to do more in this theme soon.

You can order custom Dunny figures at www.bryancollins.etsy.com or email me to discuss something specific - info[at]bryancollinsgallery.com

Custom Android Figures

Custom Android Figures, a photo by BryanACollins on Flickr.

This is a pair of custom Android figures I painted for a client. I was given a very open theme, and only asked that one be red and one green. I figured that I should focus on the colors themselves, and make a pair of bots that really compliment each other.

The set was painted with acrylic paint on DIY vinyl Android figures.

You can purchase custom figures and other Bryan Collins art at www.bryancollins.etsy.com

Beast Buddies 5-8

These are the second set of 4 Beast Buddies. Clockwise from top left they are "Crete", "Mongolia", "Everglade", and "Larva". Each one measures 3" tall and was painted with acrylics. A couple of them have an acrylic gem attached to his/her head. Each of these little guys has already found a home, but I am making 100 Beast Buddies total so you still have time to adopt some of your own.

Beast Buddies are my series of 100 custom Dunny figurines. When you adopt Beast Buddies, they come to you neatly contained in a blind box. If you are unfamiliar with blind boxes, they are a mysterious way of packaging designer toys in which there may be need to conceal a prize. You don't know which toy you will get or if you will get a prize. In my Beast Buddies, 16 numbers have been randomly chosen to come with a Golden Ticket good for signed open edition prints, limited edition T-shirts, or a custom painted 4.5" Monster Munny.

If you are ready to adopt Beast Buddies, you can pick one up for just $45 at any of the websites below. In your box you will receive 1 custom painted one-of-a-kind original 3" Dunny, the original pencil drawing used to plan out your Beast Buddies, a bryandrinkscoffee.com sticker, and a short story about the concept of your Beast Buddies. If you are one of the fortunate 16, you will also have a Golden Ticket!

Six Originals UNDER $100

As some of you know, artists usually see about half of what a piece of art sells for in a gallery. On top of that, if the artist pays for a frame or matting, that comes out of his or her 50%. So, since I received the 6 pieces of work back from the gallery that had them, I am offering them at LESS THAN HALF PRICE of what they were at the gallery.

Please don't misunderstand me, I am not taking a stab at any art galleries. I love the galleries that represent my work but when I get something back I think YOU should reap the benefits!

Each of these pieces is priced at just $95. They are unframed so you can choose a 5"x7" frame in your own taste, or mat them to fit something larger.

TO PURCHASE - Just send me a message with the title of the piece(s) you want and be sure to include your email in the message. I will send you a Paypal invoice (which you can pay by credit card even if you don't have a Paypal account) and I will mail the piece to you via USPS 2-3 day Priority mail immediately. Otherwise, you can go to <a href=http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com>www.bryancollins.etsy.com</a> and make your purchase there.

Beast Buddies 1 through 4

Here's a group shot of the first Beast Buddies. I have decided to paint 100 of them, and I'm giving away FREE stuff with them, too. With a random number generator ( Random.org ) I have designated 16 boxes to hold a secret Golden Ticket. If you find a Golden Ticket when you open your Beast Buddies, you have won a FREE 8"x10" signed print ($12 value), a FREE limited edition T-Shirt ($18 value), or a FREE hand painted Munny! ($150 value).

Since I know which Beast Buddies will come with a Golden Ticket, and I know how many I have made and sold, I also know that NO Golden Tickets have gone out yet, so your chances of winning keep getting better!

Coldest Dunny in the world!

This is a sketch for a custom 3" Dunny that I just completed, but I won't post pics of the painted piece until the collector receives it in the mail. Why is it the coldest in the world? Well, since this Dunny is #2 in my series of Beast Buddies, he needed to be named after a region or place. I painted him in glacier blue, so I did some quick research to find the coldest mountain in the world, which is Vinson Massif in Antarctica. Named after the mountain, this is the coldest Dunny in the world.

Dunny BEAST BUDDIES are here!

Beast Buddies are here!

It took an entire team of monster hunters to wrangle these little guys and get them packed into their boxes, but it's finally done! While dressing our wounds we discovered these little guys can guzzle an entire cup of coffee in one sip if you look away, so guard yours with care.

Inside each box you will find a 3" custom vinyl Dunny, hand painted with acrylics and clear coated with a glossy shine. You also get the original pencil drawing concept used to plan out your Beast Buddies (includes the name of your Buddy), and a bryandrinkscoffee.com sticker. Each one of my Beast Buddies is an original and is a mystery until you open it. Hunt down as many as you like!



Why are Beast Buddies mysteriously packaged like this? One reason is that we don't know which ones we will come across on our hunts. They are elusive little monsters! Another reason is that once they are captured, we can't risk them getting loose, so the box gets sealed right away. The third reason is that surprises and just so much fun.



*PLEASE NOTE - The Dunny you see in the photos is just an example of Beast Buddies. That little guy is named "Appalachia" and he has already found a home. Your Beast Buddies will be the same shape and size, but no two Beast Buddies are identical in design or color. Each one is as unique as you are!

Bowling for...customs? How 'bout a 7-10 Split

For the bowlers out there. I was looking at this 3″ vinyl Dunny, brainstorming some ideas and themes, and it occurred to me how much the extensions from its head looked like they could be bowling pins. Then I realized how the head could look like a warped bowling ball, and being a bowler, I thought it would be great to give a tribute to the infamous 7-10 split.

This custom Dunny is hand painted with acrylics (including some glittered and iridescent pearls), and heavily cleared with three smooth coats. If you want this Dunny in your collection, check it out at www.bryandrinkscoffee.com under SHOP. Just $55+shipping.
