Charlie Immer

WALL•E in wood

Found over at toysrevils blog, WALL•E carved from wood and absolutely gorgeous!
From the article it says:
"made by UK-based group Morpheus - as commissioned by Disney as a gift for John Lasseter, the Executive Producer of Wall-E; the animated movie by PIXAR."

Very cool!

Prime Surreal Estate

Had a great time at the show. Really enjoyed meeting some really groovy people. Turnout was huge, over a hundred by the time I had to leave. Ron English and his wife were a pleasure to chat with.

Dylan did a fantastic job putting together what was easily the best section of the festival and he and his crew deserve a round of applause! :)

Cant wait to do it again...

Thanks for the confidence in my work Dylan.

Tonight is the opening of the Prime Surreal Estate show in Jersey City. I will do my best to be there and hopefully hand out some freebies Gelaskins.com has said they sent my way...

I have one piece on display, an exclusive 18"x18" Giclee print of "Pneumatic Anatomica"
signed edition of 12 available only at the show.

Looking forward to meeting some of the groovy people also showing work who up to this time were just names and pictures ive seen on the web and printed in magazines.

Ill take photos of the event and post them asap.

Sarah Wilkinson

Hey, who said MySpace wasn't good for anything?
I came across this artist who has some sick pencil skills, Sarah Wilkinson. I stopped doing much of my full illustration pencil work some time ago, mostly because it ends up being under appreciated. She, on the other hand, seems to have plenty of success judging by her fan base (me included ;) ).

Drop by her page and dig through her pics when you get a chance-

Thanks to Merkinstache for exposing me to her work. I am humbled by your kindness and enthusiasm. It will not go unrewarded... You are super groovy :)

Plunger Monsters

These guys have been floating around my head for a few years now. Ive been having an urge to sculpt so I took the opportunity to bring them to life...

The upright plunger stands at 4" tall

I cant make it to the SDCC but I really want one of these I.W.G. Flying Saucer Attack Craft. Can somebody hook me up? :)

"BBQee"
An extension of the "Yolkels" Baby Egg Qee's I sculpted.

Gummi Fetal Morph

just wanted to share-

Here is a short animation I put together of the lower portion from "Immaculate Confection".

It is helping science understand better the gestation of the Gummi Bear. We can now see is striking detail the fetal development that was once a mystery to even the most knowledgeable Gummi experts.

My son draws the grooviest monsters :)

Just sharing a few of my little 5 year old boy's monster sketches. He draws the grooviest monsters. Its funny how even if I try my hardest, I cant draw with the abandon that a child draws with. Years of training has forced my hand to only draw with control. when I try to draw like a child it only ends up looking stiff and forced.

Gelaskins are here!

The fine people at Gelaskins.com are now offering groovy decals of my Gummi Bear Anatomy Illustration for your iPod, iPhone, laptops and PSP's

So if you've ever fantasized about decorating your electronic devices with images of the insides of a Gummi Bear, your ship has just come in...

Yolkels

Here are some "Yolkels" custom Baby Egg Qee's I created for the custom vinyl fans out there. Grab one from my "Originals" section in my shop. There are only 10 available and each is hand made/modified.

My 5yo boy insisted on playing with these while I was making them (He couldn't resist ;) so they are officially 5 year old tested and approved!

Dont worry, they have been cleaned up and in pristine condition for shipping

Grab one here- LINKY

Ooops!

Well it seems that all this time I didnt have the comments permissions turned on. This could explain the lack of comments on my blog :P ..... Or not....

Comment away.... :)

Love it!

Found this on another site that didnt give a link or credit to the artist. This sculpture made me laugh out loud :)
If anyone knows who created this masterpiece please post it in a comment...

Gelaskins

It is an honor to announce that the fine people at Gelaskins have chosen my anatomy illustrations (and perhaps a few others...) to be produced into Gelaskins. What are Gelaskins you ask? Well, they are super cool designer decals you put on your laptop, phone or ipod.

I am incredibly psyched to be grouped with such an impressive list of artists.

Coming soon... :)

Digital Arts Tutorial- Non Destructive Compositing

The tutorial I created for Digital Arts magazine on Non Destructive Compositing is now online. These guys were a treat to work with :)

Thanks DA

Mags and books features :)

It has been a busy three weeks with our new baby and all and a fantastic time for features on my illustrations. I will have the honor of having my work published in an upcoming book titled "Source Illustration Book" out sometime this fall. Produced by Maomao Publications and distributed by Harper Collins, I cant wait!

Also, out in the next month or so a Russian publication called "Khooligan" will showcase a collection of my works. Unfortunately only available in Russia.

Out next week will be a tutorial I wrote for "Digital Arts" on Non-destructive compositing in Photoshop.

Thanks to all of these fine rags for showing their love and confidence in my work :)

Drawing Again :)

Its been a long time since I have allowed myself to draw. Just havent been in the mood. Well, an itching to draw and do some new characters has leeched into my bones recently and ive started it up again. here are some quick drawings i did over the weekend. It really felt good to push the pencil around the paper and explore the lines of these 3 little guys.

Thanks James for pointing out this gorgeous piece done by Stephanie Metz.
"Teddy Bear Fetal Development" made of felted wool and buttons.

Guilty?

Cafe Press pulled all the "Splat!" items from my shop due to "possible copyright infringement".

The irony was not lost on me ;)
