OG Impala MINI Sculptures by Arik Ehle

Arik Ehle, of Wild WestSide, is an artist who creates some great faux taxidermy mounts. Outside of his day job, working at Pixar, Arik is also an avid painter and sculptor who works on large original pieces, as well as smaller limited edition runs. Wild Westside is a brand that originated from a series of faux taxidermy pieces which feature a blend of the Wild West feel, with West Coast lifestyle. In the coming months, Arik will be releasing a few colorways of his OG Impala Mini sculpture. At 1/3 scale of the regular pieces, these Minis will be priced at $60 plus any shipping involved. Measuring in at 9"x5"x7", these OG Impala Minis are a great representation of the larger OG pieces.

The first colorway, Ivory, will be made available on June 27th via the Wild WestSide website. This piece will make a great base for other artists to paint and make unique. The GID version will be the second release, expected to happen at SDCC. While the Onyx version will be released in August. Each edition will be limited to 20 pieces and is made from wood, resin and acrylic. Who knows, if these OG Impala Minis are a success, there might be other minis created in the future.

Throwback Thursday - Shadoe Delgado Original Sculpts

"For John" - 2011

Sculptor and designer toy artist Shadoe Delgado has been making original sculpture for several years, since his academic studies began. His Shadow creatures have come in many forms and sizes, often masked, unmasked, and toothsome.

Trees Fall and Shadows Rise - 2011

One thing I've noticed about the progression of Shadoe's original sculpted creatures, is his textures remain very organic, but colour palettes are incorporating vibrant colours and colour transitions. Lights and darks in high contrast to eachother are emphasized.

The Fabulist and The Auditor - 2014

Two new original sculptures, The Fabulist and The Auditor, are each available through Clutter Gallery's Tenebrous exhibition on now.

For more of Shadoe's work, check out his website or follow along Instagram @shadoedelgado , facebook, or email shadoedelgado@gmail.com for commissions info.
