CPK Statik Custom and Piktorial
Back in September of 2008, it was still a month before I would be promoted to EIC of ToyCyte, and I had some more time on my hands. So I painted up a blank toy and took it on a photoshoot around my ‘hood.
Eric from Argonauts Resin sent me this CellPhonesKill Statik edition #1/10. I’m normally not one to amass too many toys with guns and knives but I particularly like when cutlery and ammunition are juxtaposed with something unexpected…like a cellular telephone. It takes it from PG-13 to straight up B-Movie. The CPK range consists of 4-inch hand-sculpted resin mobile phones. CPK Waves 1&2 featured the familiar mascot sans hands. CPK Wave 3 added handsets for Statik and removed the eyes for BlindMansBluff. The latter is now available through AR for $30 shipped. I’m obviously more of a writer than an artist, but this was great fun to paint up. There are lots of details on the CPK platform that would appeal to the more experienced customizer. I call my custom Midnight Marauder. Here he is looking for some trouble in my neighborhood.
Some of my favorite photos are below. You can see more here.
