Hey folks. I'm making some toys again and will need some good cartoony sculptors. Preferably in the LA area.
This is the kind of style. If you are into this cartoony stuff and want some work doing really fun toys, let me know in the comments. Put a link to your samples if you have them on a site.
I'm working with a couple of good sculptors now, but we are expanding and will need more.
Cindy, Jim or anyone else who has already done sculpts for me and if you need some work, let me know.

Hey John, you should contact Jason Peltz he is an amazing sculptor (www.peltzproductions.com). He has done two sculptures of designs that Jessica Borutski did and the work was great. He also did some work for Jerry Beck. He really knows how to sculpt cartoony stuff, and I think he would do great things with your designs! I'm glad to hear your getting back into toys, it seem like merchandise is the only way to make $ in this biz.
Are you going to make toys out of Tenacious D from the video "Classico"? That would be so awesome. Would you recommend aspiring cartoonists to take a sculpture, in order for them to get a better feeling for creating things in three dimensions?
George is a lucky guy.
I'm glad to see that you're back to work, John! I love your toys and cartoons! I'm twelve years old, and your hilarity has inspired me to try learning how to draw for the first time in my life! I'm hoping that with practice I'll become as good as you by the time I go to college. Anyway, could you make some more George Liquor and Jimmy the Idiot Boy toys? They rule!
Holy shoe, those sculpts of JB and KG look awesome.
That's great you're going to make toys again! You should contact hotbutteredelves.com. They are very talented sculptors and nice people too! Ask for Dan.
I know this might sound sacrilegious to some, but I'd be interested to know if this sort of work can be done in 3d using zbrush or mudbox?
I think this guy is pretty great:

I would love to help out with package design! I do a lot of dimensional paper stuff (like Jimmy's rocket)
my flickr has the most up to date stuff http://www.flickr.com/photos/custompapertoys/
and a blog

Awesome opportunity! I just finished my advanced sculpture class so I'll tell my buddies in case they want to try. We're near LA anyway and most of us love cartoony stuff.
She's pretty...
you should do those girls from the violently happy video. i would like to have them.
cheers to my idol (even hard to not seem retarded with emotion writing here...)

Ironically I'm working on a Stimpy sculpt right now and should be finished in a couple days. Is there a way I could e-mail some pics to you as soon as I'm done? This would definitely be a fun opportunity:)
Wow, what's that Sody sculpt for? I dont think you've ever posted anything about it.
I know a good NYC sculptor Alena Wooten. She's pretty good.
i would have loved that jimmy of the future toy if i was a kid where can these be purchased?
oh, i want a sody, i been in love with her for years!(since i found her flash movie bikini easter egg!)
Hi John,
Here is a link to my sculpting work -

My blogspot and myspace also has some work -

Any chance of sending progress photos then airmailing the final/s?
Because I live in Australia I know this will give me a slim/nil chance, but any comments and the opportunity to discuss my styles and techniques would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Anth

If you get desperate, drop me a line. I've never done toys and I live in Seattle, but I have done some sculpts that border on your style.

Have you heard of Kent Melton? he lives in Omaha now, but he's great. You get 360 degrees of nice silhouette.
Raffaello Vecchione is really good, too (& local).
JB and KG look great.

John,
I'm a bit of an amateur and I unfortunately no longer live in the L.A. area, but I figure it never hurts to try:
Here are some pics of some sculptures I have made:

Thanks everyone!
I'll try to respond to each of the sculptors that offered to help me out. Some of you haven't left contact info, though..
Your pal,
John
My E-mail is titaniumwings@aol.com. I'm just putting the final touches on Stimpy now, so if you dont e-mail before then I'll just post a link to my blog or something. Thanks:)

Oh yeah, you can email me at john.t.hill@gmail.com. I assumed that since my gmail account was linked to my blogger account, you could get it by clicking my name, but apparently I thought wrong. Sorry.
Hi John,
I had the same thought as John Hill. My email is hryma@netconnect.com.au
All the best,
Anth
Can we do a test sculpt? I want to try sculpting the bunny from the Classico music video. Do you have any more sketches of the character that aren't on the blog?
