MASKEDMAN RESIN PIECES AVAILABLE ON MONDAY..

A very long time ago when I first started practicing graffiti I drew my first masked character that became the Maskedman character I draw and paint today..Over the years he's been through some changes and has appeared on an uncountable amount of  surfaces. Several years ago when I started to sculpt and customize toys, making a Maskedman figure was the first thing I wanted to do for obvious reasons..Due to the lack of skill and knowledge I had / have in this department it took some time to learn to make this happen.Years later, after getting slightly better at sculpting and learning a bit about the processes involved in casting resin, I finally have the first batch of Maskedman pieces available in 5 different colours, limited to 5 of each..

The sculpt itself was worked on over a long period of time in between everything else..You can read more about that here....
 All pieces have been spray painted with a two tone haze, signed and splatted so no two are the same.. Finished with a high gloss lacquer to allow the light to pick out the details.. Each piece comes with a mini matching can of paint and comes bagged with a sticker.. Finally, they will be available to order on Monday 29th September from my Bigcartel store..HERE..


As an added bonus, the first ten Maskedmen to leave the store come with a hand painted magnet slap for your fridges..


He stands 11cm tall (just under 4.5 inches) and will be priced at £25 plus postage.Only 5 of each colour have been made so get in quick if you want a certain colour. To see these in more detail or to order yours, head over to my store hoakser.bigcartel.com.. Other colours are planned and some hand painted full colour ones can also be expected in the future too..

MASKEDMAN RESIN PROGRESS


     Something I've been working on for months and months in between everything else is this guy.. A little version of my Maskedman character.. Standing just under 4.5 inches tall, the original was sculpted with milliput..After spending so long on working on him, I decided to do something with this piece and turn him into a small army of resin replicas..


My lack of skill in molding and casting saw a few minor hiccups with a few air bubbles that had to be sorted out and filled in, but overall, everything seemed to work out quite well.. 

Half way through making the first run of ten "they need spray cans" popped into my head so it had to happen.. My mold was set and the pouring of resin continued.Most of them came out without a nozzle on the can for some reason, but that's fine..As Bob Ross always used to say, "there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents"


  With air bubbles now filled in, sanded and ready for paint, these guys should be ready for the store over the next two weeks.. Fow now, I can announce that there will be a few different colour variants available in a limited run of 5 of each. They will come bagged and tagged, each with a mini can matching the figures colour, and a unique hand drawn magnet slap for your fridges shown below..



If you want to know more about progress and expected release dates you should follow me on Instagram @hoakser..or any other social media link you can find on my website..

There are 5 of each available -pink and white with black splatter.All of them come bagged, numbered with stickers and a card. Each figure has been given a protective shiny gloss lacquer and their  faces can be turned.
