My first ever custom toy made way back in 2006:

Chalky started out life as an 8-inch KidRobot Munny blank. I used blackboard paint and chalk (big surprise) and he really works as a blackboard! I still want to do a Munny that allows for dry-erase markers to be used on it :)

MY WORK FEATURED ON CustomToyLab.Com

Ah, this is cool. There's no major application process or anything, but it's still neat when another website features something you did, you know? Also, CustomToyLab.Com features some really amazing work from artists around the world. Even if you're not into toys or urban vinyls, if you like any kind of sculpture or modern art, you should check out CustomToyLab.Com.

Of course, the main reason you should pay a visit to CustomToyLab.Com right now is that OUR OLD PAL CHALKY IS FEATURED!! Check out the link below and be sure to leave a comment on how cool you think he is!!

Awww, isn't he adorable? Don't you just want to hug him and wipe all of that chalky goodness onto your shirt?

Ever since I was a kid I thought it would be so cool to design my own toys. I used to customize my GI Joe figures with Sharpies. Well, Kid Robot has produced a line of blank vinyl toys that you can do just about anything to. So, I bought a stack of them and here's my first attempt! I started simple and and created Chalky!

There's just something so cool about seeing a toy you designed inside packaging. I know my design was simple, but it's still neat...
