I’ll have a fresh batch of Gumheads in the upcoming show. This will be the last drop of Dubble Bubble and Very Berry Gumheads for the foreseeable future, so save the date if you want to score one! July 13th at Galleria Regina. A Gumhead getting its arms. These little guys are double cast, which is just what it sounds like. After casting and painting the core, I fit it into a second mold to cast the translucent layer.
Last chance to get your Gumhead!
Only one left ? Thanks so much for all the love you guys have shown these little water sprites. The last one is up on my web shop, coupon code GUMWAD for free shipping.
Gumheads are elemental spirits. They begin as forgotten wads of gum, stuck under tables and chairs. Most bubblegum is ordinary, but every once in a while, through a twist of fate (and a little saliva), old gumwads awaken as mischievous sprites.Sticky and malleable, they love to steal and hoard tiny objects. They’ve got your DNA in them, but gumheads aren’t always friendly. They have a penchant for chaos when left unattended, but are easily won over with gifts and attention. Under the right circumstances, gumheads are fun companions and can bring good luck and adventure.
Today is the day!

One of the last steps of making a Gumhead is their translucent saliva arms

Another close up ?
Teeth are one of my favorite things to sculpt (if you hadn’t already guessed). I think it’s because it’s the tiniest thing on a tiny thing. Gumhead heads are about an inch wide.
I’m really having fun with this macro lens!
Each Gumhead finger is about 1/16 of an inch wide. ? I’ll be posting more process pics and teasers as the release date approaches. Follow @kaijucult for updates. There’s a lot of awesome art in this show!

Another double cast close up
Taking abstract photos of my creature art is my favorite thing. I love the unexpected details, micro landscapes revealed by new angles.
Close up
Double cast resin before varnish
Experimenting with double casting. ?♂️
The core form will get embedded in translucent resin. After I do a few successful prototypes, I’ll start trying out colors!
