MONKEY TRON!!!

Here's a fun one!!! A few weeks my day job had a cool opportunity to take the Tron Light Cycles that they make and customize them for a show at Culver City's Royal-T. So what did I decide to deck out my light cycle as? MONKEY TRON OF COURSE!!! Here's my initial sketch for my concept.


So the next step involved me sculpting a little monkey that would fit on top of the light cycle. Let's take a looksie!!!


After I was happy with my sculpt, I spray painted the light cycle a nice Chiquita banana yellow with green highlights. I even made some nice little stickers for the sides. Then I painted the monkey a nice purple with a pink lil' butt. Here's a 360 degree view of the MONKEY TRON!


Here's a little collage of me and my bike at Royal-T Cafe along with some other great customs from Disney and our office.


Whewwww. It took a solid 3 days of work, but I was quite happy with my MONKEY TRON!!! I'll be seeing you soon in THE GRID!!! De-rezzing out my fellow Hyperactive Monkeyers!!!

A BOOTHFUL OF HYPERACTIVE MONKEYNESS!!!

Howdy y'all!!! It's been busy last few months in the Hyperactive Monkey kitchen. We just got done a few weeks ago exhibiting at this years Designer Con in Pasadena. It was our greatest show yet!!! We were greeted by so many happy new and old fans excited to see our booth. Nearly all our Heartbreak Edition Ninja Monkeys sold out!!! 2 sold before the show even started!!! WOWEEEEE!!! Can you spot the 4 Deadly Ninjas in the photo below? They may be tougher to find than Waldo.


Here's a closeup of the Hyperactive Monkey Game of Death Cartridge next to Tracy Tubera's custom at the Squid Kids Ink So Analog Custom Show at D-con!!! These two are getting ready to throw down!!!


So that wraps up our awesome Saturday at the show. It was a super busy and super fun show for everyone who went. I'll wrap up with a new skate deck design that I did for my day job's company's skate board design competition. I didn't place but it was super fun doing this board.

It pretty much sums up the essence Hyperactive Monkey; toys, junk food, Saturday morning adventures, robots, ninjas, and of course MONKEYS!!! Thanks again for the support!!! Talk to you soon Hyperactive Monkeyeers!!!

Hyperactive Monkey Goes To A.P.E!!!

Howdy Hyperactive Monkeyers!!! We just got back from this year's A.P.E in San Francisco. It was quite a fun filled 2 days despite a rainy Sunday. But even the rain is no match for our hyperactiveness. We got to meet up with some great fans from previous shows and even made some new ones. Take a look below at all the monkey goodness we had!!!


Speaking of goodies. We still have some of the A.P.E exclusive Deadly Ninja Monkeys Eggplant Editions available.


You can buy them right here at our store (http://hyperactivemonkey.bigcartel.com/). We have a small supply of our skateboards also there. Anyhooo, thanks for stopping by and keep Hyperactive Monkeying away!!!!

Long Time No Monkeeeeeeee!!!

Wowzers!!! It's been quite a few months since I've posted anything. Here's a quick little recap of this summer. In July we returned to Anime Expo sharing with our fans all of our new monkey goodness. The nice folks at Squid Kids Ink let us share their both with them. Take a look at our booth setup below.


That was a great show. Let's see what else we've been up to. How about this? What do you get when you add Shaolin Monkeys and skateboarding together? I'll tell ya. You get Finesse and Hyperactive Monkey Skate Decks. Steve James was kind enough to let me design a Finesse Skate deck. These go on sale in a few weeks on our website.


Here's some other exciting news. This past weekend I was able to partake in my first art show at Rothick Art Haus. Here's my art piece entitled "Shaolin Ninja Monkey Zombie Delight!". It was quite an honor to be in the show, but the fact the piece sold within the first hour was so cool!!!


So that's pretty much what I've been up to for the last few months aside from perfecting my Shaolin Monkey Death Touch and the Monkey Ninjitsu Invisibility Technique. I got so much exciting news I plan to share with you in just as few days. So keep in touch and stay tuned. MONKEYS UNITE!!!

Deadly Ninja Monkeys!!!

Coming soon to www.hyperactivemonkey.com! Killer Black and Eggplant editions getting ready to unleash their monkey-ninjitsu skills!!!

Here's some quick lil' post it notes sketches I did during my hectic work day in between saving rather large files.
These 4 things pretty much sum up my favorite things: MONKEYS, ROBOTS, GIRLS, and NINJAS!!!

The Fast and Furriest!!!

Haha! Get the title of this blog posting? It's a pun! Hahahehe! Sorry about the lack of posts. Been busy working on some upcoming projects that are gonna be so monkeylicious. Anyhoo here's a logo design and evil Pacman character i did for TEAM PACMAN's tricked out Civic.

It's featured on the cover of this month's issue of Modified Magazine. It was a super fun project even though they were no monkeys involved.

You can read more about the car and folks behind it here. That's it for now. Happy driving and be safe!!!

HAPPY MONKEY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Not much to report this weekend. I've just been trying to catch up on my sleep. Even little hyperactive monkeys need their rest. Anyhoo, here's a quick little Monkey Ninja Heart Breaker drawing I did during the week. Monkey Ninjas love to love, but they also love to break hearts!!! Yip! Yip!

MONKEY MARA-CON!!!

WOWEEE!!! It's been awhile since my last post and that's because I've been really busy monkeying around. Hehe!!! Actually Squid Kids Ink were really kind and let me exhibit with them at two back to back conventions. You could call it a MONKEY MARA-CON!!! Hehe!!! Get it? Mara-con instead of marathon!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Anyhoo, here's a quick visual recap of this weekend's Anaheim's Wizard World Comic-Con:


It's was super-fun hanging out with Squid Kids Ink. The convention was a bit slow, but nonetheless we met some nice fellow Hyperactive Monkeyers and made some new fans!

But let's rewind 2 weeks ago. Again Squid Kids Ink were kind enough to let me share a booth at San Francisco's Wondercon and that was one fun filled convention. We met a ton of new fans and sold out of many debut items like our Shot Through The Heart Hat and Deadly Monkey D.I.Y. Ninja (more on that lil' guy in a future post). It was great to be back home with friends and family and doing what we love to do – BEING CREATIVE!!! We will definitely be back next year!!! Here's a quick visual recap from that super fun filled most monkeytastic weekend:


Yup!!! Our booth had it all: Booth babes, Squibs, Squid Kids, Hyperactive Monkeys, and Deadly Ninja Monkeys!


So there ya have it. It's been a crazy month with all the preparation and exhibiting for the cons, but it was all worth it. I just want end off the post with a BIG THANKS to all of our fans for their support. Also I just wanted to say thanks for Squid Kids Ink for all their help and letting me share all of this magic with them!


Who says squids and monkeys can't co-exist? :)

Monkeyin' Around!!!

Wooooweee!!! It's been a while since my last post. I've been too busy monkeyin' around my office getting ready for Wonder Con 2010. Yippeee!!! That's right. The kind folks from Squid Kids Ink have allowed Hyperactive Monkey a small space of their booth #1349 to sell some monkeylicious goodies. Take a look below for some great exclusives:

We'll be debuting our limited edition SHOT THROUGH THE HEART HATS. Each one comes with a signed and numbered mini print (edition of 9). They'll cost $10. Pretty affordable and they'll keep the monkeys from eating ya' brain.

We'll also have for sale our YOU ARE NINJALICIOUS BAG 2.0. Each one comes with a signed and numbered limited edition mini print (edition of 144). They'll be $10.00 too. Pretty affordable and they come with a great amount of storage space for all your ninja weapons and pet monkeys. If you can't make it to Wondercon, I'll be putting them up on my website shortly after.

This bad boy won't be for sale or at Wondercon, but here's a custom I did for the Tech Deck Vanformer show at work. It was great fun. I call him CHIMPVANZEE.

Sorry for the long post, but that's all for now. See ya' Wonder Con! Yip! Yip! Tootles!
