Nagata UpDates

[mark nagata]

glug glug ... sorry for the lack of posts .. well you can mostly find me on Tweeter ( maxtoyco ) but Matt told me to post some stuff I've been doing so here it is  ;-)

I highly recommend his new VividTone line .. the Pink and Yellow are VERY bright ... my eyes tweek out a bit when I spray them, thats how Vivid they are .. make the normal yellow look dull, even though it's not dull  ;-) well you know what  i mean ... ;-)

 

anyhow, Monster Kolor continues to amaze me paint wise .. and since it's pre mixed so easy to use !

 

Been busy prepping for the 5th Anniversary Max Toy shows in Tokyo and San Francisco, plus Matt's In Living Kolor San Francisco Tour !! Man wait till you hear the line up of painters he's got coming ...! Make your plans and show up at Double Punch San Francisco on Saturday April 23rd, 2011 !!! Live painting with Monster Kolor on toys .. come and give it a try, for free ! Or watch your favorite customizer spray away !!! Gonna be Fun !!!!

 

Everything below is for sale at the Dragatomi show, Monster Party opens Jan 8th, 2011 in Sacramento, CA .. I'll be there plus Gatchbert too ( Lil Japan and DLUX also in the show )

 

phew .. back to work for me ....

 

the picture above was painted with acrylics on canvas board, but i did my final varnish with Monster Kolor Clear Coat ! Sprayed down nice and smooth, and when dry is a super glossy finish  ;-) Nice ...

 You have probably painted over 1000 custom eyezons in your life. This is on my "top 5" Nagata custom eyezons ! 

Way to keep pushing the limits of Kaiju x Monster Kolor !

Nagata = #1

Word up mark!  This is taking it to the next level.

;-) You guys ! Seriously too kind ...and I'm humbled cause ALL of you can paint WAY better... !  hmmm... Matt Top5, really ??!! I'd better got my elves to make more .. haha .. just kidding ..you know I've tried to paint these darn things over the past 5-6 years with an original Bullmark paint style in my head .. so this was for sure a departure ... but so glad you guys liked it.

I have no idea what to next ...

april 26th updates  ;-) Sorry folks .. Matt told me I haven't posted in awhile .. and he's right ! I have a hard enough time updating my social media crap .. and basically twitter ( maxtoyco ) is easiest thing i can do ... here's a small selection of what I've been up too ... can you see the pattern ? ;-)  enjoy !

Actually these are all on various base vinyl colors from clear to white... I've used Charcoal as my dark paint base coat. I go back in with white and a paint brush and dot away ... once thats done I go back with white airbrush to brighten up the stars, use a cut out template for the star burst ... after that go back in with clear, red, orange, yellow, blue and green ... finally color change and glossy coat to seal it all up. I didn't think these Galaxy ones would be so popular   ;-P I do have to say they are a lot of work .. the dotting .. is what kills me  ;-P

[mark nagata]

and these are for Matt to release sometime  ;-) Cosmic Squadron in Galaxy style .. I had fun adding the cigars and eye patches too  ;-)

[Todd Robertson]

Cigar and eye patches are awesome!

[mark nagata]

Thanks Todd ! Though I don't condone smoking ... Just in comic books and old movies .... ;-P

[Todd Robertson]

Neither do I, just quit and never felt better!

Mark was kind enough to let me do a run of micro Nekora and the Mewship!

 

Nekora stands a little off balance, so I'm going to add some weight to the tails before I start painting.  

 

The sculpt on both are fantastic! 

 

[mark nagata]

Awesome ! Can't wait to see them !!!

I love this little guy, I will be excited to see what you come up with.

Wow Seth. I am a bit very jealous and a bit very proud of you; yes, mainly a bit very proud. And then I see jealousey's face again. He looks a little like Sprout from the ho ho ho.. green giant commercials, except he has a big bundle of sticks tied to his back. Old jealousy fable and myth..I dig that stuff.
I'm really stoked for you though. Honest. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us with em. I think everybody knows how I feel about Mr. Nagata's work. As a collector, I m fond of maxtoy, and as a painter...come on dude, those sculpts are a joy to have as a canvas. Ya know, the first time I read his bio I almost seizured and passed out. That's one hella art, design, renaissance toy art man. Yes sir. I am stoked for you Seth. You do fine work. I think one of the finest aspects of what we do is how we all silently push each other; all working to push each piece a fraction better than the last. Working towards but never ever arriving at. I tell Matt often what I think of his paint, and the never ending colors. It is the good stuff for reals.
Hell ya Seth and Mark!! So happy to again see someone hoist the MK Jolly Roger high where it should be. - - I was just saying less than 2weeks ago on here, that some of the MK slinging artists on here are doing far better..no, waaaaaay better- work than was and is being done on many small run releases being put out. I meant this too. I get mean and lippy on coffee sometimes..we all have our crosses to bear, it's just that mine has little caster wheels and a herb vaporizer w/face-mask
