Ram-Bot, a Masters of the Universe Inspired Custom Sketchbot by kaNO

myplasticheart recently presented the Sketchbot Custom Show, which also marked the official launch of the Sketchbot vinyl figure, a new figure by NYC artist/animator Steve Talkowski. 50 artists and designers participated in the Sketchbot Custom Show and there were some really amazing pieces, all of which can be seen here.


Since I know a lot of diehard He-Man and the Masters of the Universe fans read The Blot Says…, I thought I’d feature one of my favorite pieces from the Sketchbot Custom Show, the hand painted MOTU inspired Ram-Bot custom figure by kaNO.


kaNO explained where his inspiration for Ram-Bot came from on his blog: "As soon as I saw the Sketchbot figure all I could see was Ram-Man from the old He-Man cartoons that I grew up on. I sculpted a little, but the rest was pretty straight forward. I was really happy with the outcome." (link) kaNO’s custom Sketchbot “Ram-Bot” is still available at myplasticheart.com. It can be purchased here for $250.

Is it me or does everything look just a little better after David Flores applies his stained glass style to it? Flores takes everyone’s favorite Italian plumber and turns him blue in “1UP,’ DF’s newest screen print. “1UP” features a blue Mario flying through the air with angel wings, and I’ve gotta say, the Nintendo icon looks killer flying against an all black background.


The Super Mario Bros. screen print “1UP” is available now through SomethingIll.com and retails for $50 each. This three color screen print measures 16”x20” and has an edition size of 50.
