I was recently commissioned to create a corporate sculpture for a special event. Using upcycled materials from recycled severs I reimagined the iconic helmet from the Disney plus series the Mandalorian.
New Sculpture - Smoke LV Two
On 6-30-2020 I put the finishing details on my second LV inspired Mortal Kombat Smoke mask. This piece is part of a series I’m exploring where I revisit some of my favorite video game characters.
Smoke first appeared in Mortal Kombat II (1993) as a hidden unplayable opponent and grey ninja palette swap of Scorpion who would make random onscreen appearances during gameplay. He made his official playable debut in 1995's Mortal Kombat 3 as an unlockable character, this time as an indigo-colored swap of the game's cybernetic ninjas, Sektor and Cyrax.
His role in the series has predominantly been that of a friend and confidant to the younger Sub-Zero; both are part of the Lin Kuei clan of assassins who boldly choose to defect after learning of the clan's plan to convert its members into cyborgs. Smoke was ultimately captured and transformed, and given orders to hunt down Sub-Zero, but unlike his robotic counterparts he had retained his human soul. In the three-dimensional games, he is connected with Noob Saibot, under whose command he serves. Smoke's background is expanded the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot, it was said that he came from the Czech city of Prague, while his and Sub-Zero's fortunes are reversed in the retelling of their MK3 storyline.
Despite having mostly served in a supporting role in the games, he has proven to be one of the more popular characters in the Mortal Kombat series, gaining mostly positive fan and critical reception. Response to his Fatality finishing moves has been mostly mixed. Smoke has also featured in alternate Mortal Kombat media such as the Malibu comic book series, the 1996 cartoon Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, in addition to appearing on some official merchandise.
New Sculpture - Noob Saibot LV Two
Today I put the finishing details on my second LV inspired Mortal Kombat Noob Saibot mask. This piece is part of a series I’m exploring where I revisit some of my favorite video game characters.
Noob Saibot is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Initially depicted as a black silhouette of the game's other male ninja characters and sharing their moves, he would be given his own unique moveset and appearance in later games. His name consists of the surnames of Mortal Kombat creators Ed Boon and John Tobias spelled backwards.
In the storyline of the games, the character first appeared as Sub-Zero in the original 1992 game, although this would not be established until 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception.[1] As Noob Saibot, he debuted as an unplayable hidden character in Mortal Kombat II (1993) and became a player character for the first time in the console versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1996). His backstory establishes him as an undead wraith and member of the Brotherhood of the Shadow cult, which places him in the service of many of the series' villains.
Upcycled Classic Fett
Today I wrapped up a fun tribute/sculpture to the classic Kenner Boba Fett toy from the late 70’s. I used upcycled E-waste and other found objects to create this piece. Another fun aspect of this piece is that its wearable and the inside of the helmet is finished with detailing and padding.

Tribute to Iron Man
As you guys are probably aware, I am a huge fan of the Avengers, specifically to Iron Man. I love the character from his wittiness, creativity as an engineer and his mission. For the month of the release of the Avengers Movie on digital and DVD, I created a LV electronic Iron Man helmet with the mashup of Louis Vuitton materials. The mask electronically opens with a tap, and the eye light up. Just like the movie helmet.
The helmet version used for this particular one is the Mark 46. Iron Man’s 46th version of the suit.
Checkout the video below on the motion of the helmet.
This sculpture was completed 8-15-2019. Already sold to a collector in Hong Kong :)
Pokemon - Bulbasaur
This week I shifted gears and picked up on another series, I have been wanting to add a new Pokemon to the series and I’m excited to introduce to you Bulbasaur LV. Hopefully, I will have more time later down the road to add other Pokemons - like Squirtle.
Stay tuned as I will be creating Prints of this piece.

Air Jordan 1 "Dragon"
Inspired by the banned Air Jordan 1 sneaker and paying tribute to Michael Jordan's ability to catch Air it was only fitting to apply a pair of wings. During the creation process and watching a many episodes of Game of Thrones the piece took on a distinct dragon feel...
