Bic Buddy Custom BLOWOUT: N.C. Winters

Artist: N.C. Winters
Title: Faded Memories
Platform: Bic Buddy
Medium: Magic Sculpt, acrylics, misc accessories, and a dead bunnies soul :-)

N.C. Winters always amazes me with everything he creates as an artist, and his 8" Bic Buddy is a great example of that. I really do love the addition of the long/stringy arms, the ears, and the additional sculpting... and the added weathered effect that he applied to the whole figure really puts this piece over the top. Go see this piece in person at Crewest Gallery in Los Angeles on March 27th, 2010 and then at Zakka in New York on April 9th, 2010!

N.C. says:
"The toy was fun. Been meaning to spend more time with sculpture, experimenting, having fun, trying to figure out new ways to dump my mind out in three dimensions. This was a labor of…something not quite like love. The magic-sculpt is, as usual, nice and durable, but getting all the details I wanted took some effort. Finally dropped some money on a fancy craft Dremel tool and some tiny files that made the difference. Still getting used to the medium, but I prefer the magic-sculpt to sculpey as I got sick of the stuff shaling off during sanding and/or modifications. More to come in the future, perhaps just a little larger. Still just getting into this 3D medium, but I think I’ll definitely be coming back for more."
