Here is the list of all the pieces for sale in the Natural Resources 3 show with photos and artist bios if you are interested in purchasing (or if you just want a better look at all the pieces in the show). It is a truly fantastic show and I’m honored that I got to be a part of it.
Dorkus Malorkus :: 10” Average Joe Schmoe Custom :: November 2010
Created for LIFT’s Natural Resources 3 show.
Natural Resources 3 opens at Lift
Last night was the opening of the much anticipated Natural Resources 3 at Lift in Royal Oak. There were over fifty wooden toys that had been customized by both national and local artists. If you were unable to make the opening the pieces will be on display until December 12th.
A few of my favorites from the show (from L to R): Audrey Pongracz, 64 Colors, Motorbot, Chris Ryniak w/ Amanda Spayd, Adrianna Bamber, Heather Hansma, D-Lux, Ryan Bubnis and Carl Oxley III
I had so much fun regarding this show. The piece was a ton of fun to create, and the opening was spectacular. I got to hang with a bunch of my favorite artists/people and talk shop like the art dorks we are. If you are in the area I highly recommend you head over to Lift to see this show in person.
Some of the customs at the Natural Resources 3 show opening. My piece, Dorkus Malorkus, is the one on the bottom left. Click the image to go to Lift’s website for more info on the show.
There were few survivors after the ship wrecked on the ice. Three sailors and their monkey huddled together deep within a cave, attempting to cling to thoughts of rescue, until uncontrollable hunger set them on each other.

For Natural Resources 3 opening Saturday, November 13th at Lift Designer Toys & Gallery
This is what smart people do. They actually photograph their work before handing it over. Me, I’m not so smart. I was in so much of a rush I forgot to actually photograph my finished Average Joe Schmoe I did for this show. I guess you’ll have to wait until the opening to see it.
Seriously, though, this piece is pretty sweet. Kudos, Kill Taupe.
I finished my piece for this show last night. Not only was it an amazing amount of fun, I’m truly honored to be in a show along side so many BAMFs.
(Ha ha, Lift and I posted this at the same time so that is why I didn’t just reblog it from them. Whoops.)
The piece I’m working on for LIFT’s Natural Resources 3 show. The figure is an Average Joe Schmoe. Fret not, I’ll post legit (read: clear) pics when it is complete.

Working on my Average Joe Schmoe for the Natural Resources 3 show at LIFT.
I love to see other artists works in progress. I should take a snapshot of my piece for the show tonight. My goal is to have it completed this weekend. *fingerscrossed*
