A customer contacted us about needing some elf ears for a Youtube review on a Legacy longbow. He felt that since he was reviewing a longbow around Christmas time, that it would be appropriate to be dressed as an elf. We just wanted to say thanks to Charlz9mm for the great review and talking about … Read more
Silicone Mask – The Demon
Some of you may remember this guy from a few months ago when I first sculpted him. Ok, ok, it’s been almost a year. Well, we have been so busy at the shop that we have not had time to get photos and get him on the store for sale. Today I decided to use some old Ecoflex … Read more
“The Tank” (again)
So I am just in love with the new van. Yesterday my dad stopped by to check out the new company purchase and he dug it as well. I snapped another quick photo of it, pristine and new, before we start adding graphics to it. Nothing too gaudy (unless you count yin yang wolves and … Read more
New Kickstarter – The Watcher Oil Painting Print Run
Hey everyone, mike here. The other day I spent some time at the easel painting and I was thinking of new ways to reach new art fans. I have had so much success at Kickstarter, I decided I wanted to try my hand at an art focused project. One of the big gambles making art … Read more
Introducing “the Tank”
One of the big problems with being a retail shop on the road is getting from place to place with all your stock, employees, and doing it in style. Well the old van was starting to show its age (but hey, its still running well for 280,000 miles), so we started looking into new options. … Read more
Wow are we always behind or what – L.A. pictures from 2011
In 2011, Aradani Studios went out to Los Angeles to visit family and friends. As a group we also got to visit the Movie Museum at Bob Burns. Ever since I was a kid I was lucky enough to be able to go and visit and check out all of his cool stuff. In fact … Read more
New Movie Trailer – The Hole
So when people find out that Aradani Studios is family run and that we are all artists, the first thing people ask is “are your parents artists?” And though they are creative and supportive, they are not the artists you are looking for. But our uncles are. We grew up hearing stories of our … Read more
Rand Al’Thor from Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time
It is hard to believe that in a short 3 weeks, the epic book series, The Wheel of Time, will come to an end. Now the book will say that there are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Great Wheel, but for those that started reading The Eye of the World in 1989, this has … Read more
Tron 3 is happening!
So Disney didn’t do so well in US theaters with Tron Legacy, but when everything was said and done, they pulled in over 400 million worldwide. Not a bad haul. Legacy’s director, Joseph Kosinski has a new film that I am looking forward to – Oblivion. He says he is ready to return to the Grid . … Read more
Can’t Wait for Mad Max Fury Road
So I was day dreaming about making a post apocalyptic costume today. I then went and checked out the images from Wasteland Weekend and got angry that it always happens during our busy time, so I will never be able to visit that show. Then I wondered why we don’t have something like that on the … Read more
