Spotlight On: NRB Relic's Remy

NRB Relic emailed us this cool custom and we thought you guys should know a little more about it.

NRB: HE IS HERE..!!! NRB Relics newest 3" custom Vinylmation inspired by Remy from Ratatouille "Lets Get Cooking". This custom Vinylmation is part of The Custom Artist Project Series 2 PIXAR.

DV: WE're excited too. Pixar is a great choice for a series. One question about your vinyl though. What is the spoon made of?
NRB: Remy's Spoon is made with an apoxie clay that I use on most of my pieces.

DV: Is Ratatouille your favorite Pixar movie?
NRB: Ratatouille is one of my favorites....there are so many wonderful ones to choose from....Remy gave me a chance to add a lot of detail.....! He was truly a blast.....!

Update on Artist Howie Green

When we last spotlighted Boston artist Howie Green, he was getting ready to begin his "Golf Balls on Parade" project. He has been busy in 2013. Let's take a look...


- Completed a slew of custom vinyl toys

Mr. Ghost Rider.... going up on Howie's Ebay store today.

- Designed CD album cover for Terrell Bowers first album

- Finished up the design for my second production figure for Trail of the Painted Ponies scheduled for release this Fall but which is still top secret since it involves an infamous TV actress/celebrity.

- Completed two large mural painting projects with several hundred volunteers from the Boston Red Sox Foundation (including players, coaching staff, and managers John Farrell and Ben Cherington) at the Washington Irving School and Dimock Center in Boston, MA - even had a visit from the Sox official Mascot, Wally the Green Monster.

- Painted the 3 in a series of 4 giant golf balls in Rochester, NY for the upcoming Golf Balls on Parade event at the PGA Tournament at Oak Hill Country Club this Summer. I'm returning to Rochester soon to paint the remaining 1.

- Published a book of over 300 of my album cover paintings

As always thanks for your support and I'll keep you posted.
