Brent Nolasco for Crazy 4 Cult: Customs (9.4)

Since his recent decision to move away from doing vinyl toy customs,  he submitted his first hand-carved wood piece for Crazy 4 Cult: Customs show opening on Saturday September 4th, 2010 @ Gallery 1988 SF. Inspired by the Tim Burton’s classic ‘Nightmare before Christmas, Brent chose to create Barrow, a sidekick,  completely out of wood.  Even though this is his first-ever wood piece, he took the detailed, time consuming route by creating 13 individual pieces (head, face, arms, legs, etc.) – each of which can be posed to the owner’s preferences. The detail on the head including the facial elements is impressive.   In case you’re wondering, the mini Pumpkins are customized action figure accessories.

Props to Brent for pushing his sculptural work to new mediums.  We’re very curious to see what’s next.
