Latest Update:1/16/01

First Update of the new year! Welcome, if you're a first time visitor here, and please excuse the mess. When I started this page a few years ago, I had no idea how much stuff I'd end up with here. It's grown far more then I expected.

This update is just a small one again, since I'm battling (and it seems like I'm doing this every other week) a cold again. I'm also in the middle of planing a move as well. I've still be activly creating things, but some are personal that most just wouldn't "get", and others are only partially done. Here's a pic of some kitbashing I promised I'd post here today. I've been experimenting with using 9" scale costumes and accessories with 12" scale figures with some mixed results. Here's some examples...

Happy Thanksgiving!

At work today, I did a turkey cartoon for my freinds there, and he came out so nice, I decided to share him with you! I quickie colored him in photoshop, and hope you enjoy him!

Just another quickie update.. I just managed to snag the new 12" scale Sideshow Toys Frankenstein figure, and since no one seems to have him yet, I'm posting a review, and pictures..

Here's the link,and Happy Halloween!

Last Update:10/27/00!!!

BOO!

Yeah, I'm finally updateing after a REALLY long time! Thanks for the support from my friends for the help through some tough times, and to those that have emailed me in the last few months for the compliments on my craft stuff here. I've been away from customizing anything really elaborate of late, and have just been cobbling some kitbashing type stuff together. I wanted to at least post SOMETHING cool on my return, so here's My Jack-O-Lantern 2000! Hope you enjoy it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


 

Latest Update:04/8/00

More original art this time. just a small update, but there might be more soon. The last few months have been VERY trying to me, and if it weren't for my friends, I might not still be here. Thanks, guys! This update you'll find on my artwork page.. look for Tawra-Angela.. it's a photo manipulation, and came out pretty damned cool, IMHO!

Hey gang! More original artwork yet again! I'm having a blast sorting through old sketches, and re-discovering "old freinds" this way. Some of these things, BTW haven't been seen by anyone else in years, and others may never have been seen by anyone other then myself. I've got a few custom fc figures on the burner as well, and hope to add them sometime soon.

This update's offerings include things from waaaay back in highschool, A few watercolors I did in the early 80's, and even some things I've done for Disney newsletters and such. Quite a number have suffered the test of time, and I've tried to clean them up as much as possible. Hope ya enjoy them! Look under the Misc. Artwork Section for these updates.

With any luck, there will be thumbnails, and clicking on them will yield larger images. BTW these images will all be 1024 wide, larger then viewable on most browsers, but since monitor sizes continue to grow, this won't be an issue down the road. Also, this way, is someone wants to print any of these out for thier own use, they are large enough for decent quality.Remember, right-click onm images to save them!


 

Last Update:02/7/00

I Found myself with more free time yesterday, and as predicted, have added more of my original artwork. You'll find 4 new images on my Artwork page, ranging from sketches, to acrylic paintings, and even ventureing into T-shirt artwork! Hopoe you find this section interesting. I can see after just a few updates, that that page will have to be broken up into seperate pages. Doing a thumbnail page would be great, but I don't know of a automated way to do it in dreamweaver 2, so you'll have to live with the current setup. Sorry for the long load times, but at least they are here! ;)


Last Update:02/6/00

Ok! I finally got some of my original sketches and such up, as well as a few models.

If you check on the model page, you'll find two models, the re-release Weird-Ohs kit Beach Bunny, and also a resin kit I built a few years back, The Stimpster.

On the artwork page, you'll find 3 new offerings, and some fixes. There are two cartoonish sketches I did in late 89, and one oil painting I did in the early 80's. Also, I found that NONE of the pictures on that page worked at all! if you EVER find broken stuff here, PLEASE drop me a line, and LMK.. I think I added those pics 8 months ago, and JUST discovered the problems today. If I can, more stuff will be added later this week.


Last Update:01/30/00

Good things are afoot at the Circle G my freinds! First things you'll notice: The nav bar on the left has smaller fonts (Finally figured out how to do it!) When I figure out a consistant way to replace that with buttons, I'll replace them as well. Also, you'll notice the top image is smaller. This is by request, so you can see more of the content on my pages. (You'll also notice the sidebar is thinner as well, to assist in this.) Another nice change, is I now have a domain name! Yup, now there's a Gareee.com! (pretty scary, eh?) I'll be changing the top graphic to reflect that when I decide how I want it to look.

There will also be some major sections either expanded, or added. I have LOTS of webspace now (I had only 20 meg, but now have over 70!) I'll be adding scans of my older "real" artwork, possibly sketches, n such. I'll also be expanding my wallpaper page.. I not only have lots more wallpaper things to add, but also some better ability to create them.

I have to thank everyone for visiting here. Thanks to ALL you folks, the domain name and the additional space are free to me, thanks to the popularity of my pages. (No where NEAR some web page hits, but LOTS more people have shared my creations then I ever dreamed of!)

I'll be adding a 12" custom page, with some new things I've done (no I haven't been idle the last month) And also will be updating my links page to reflect some kewl new places I regularly visit.

Another cool thing, is a progam called Gooey. It aloows you to chat with people who are browsing the same page you are on! Ain't THAT cool? Here's tjhe link to them right now:

GOOEY

Snag this utility, and ya never know.. I might message you while you're browsing here for instant feedback!

Welp, I'm outta here, to see if I can add a few new things to make ya smile here. Later!


 

Last Update:12/21/99

Well, I'm FINALLY back on the FC custom wagon! It's been months since I've completed a custom figure, and it's nice to work that muscle again! This update's offering: A Famous Cover Baby Doll figure! You can click that for a link to that page, which also has recipe information, and some other useful tips. Again, Happy Holidays! Oh, BTW, no one ever told me the Power Puff Girl wallpaper link was broken! Amnyway, if you wanted that Power Puff desktop wallpaper, that link is now fixed.. amazing what caps can do! ;)


Last Update:12/17/99

YIKES! More Christmas Custom figures from Chet! They will be on the same Christmas link page as before! It's bad enough I don't update for 2 months, but now I've got 3 in a week! You guys will become spoiled! (and then you'll smell REALLY bad! ;)

CHRISTMAS LINK


 

Update:12/16/99

More cool Christmas stuff! This time from a very good internet and toy trading freind of mine, Cindy Nemet! Click the Christmas link below to see a Christmas Custom gift Cindy sent me yesterday! In addition, Cindy sent me some weird wacky stuff after Halloween, and you can see those

HERE


 

Update:12/14/99

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sorry I haven't added anything in a while, but I've been getting things correct on the homefront.

I did want to ad at least something for Christmas, and a good freind of mine from McFarlane Toys just sent me some thing that are perfect! They are reproduced here Via his permission. Chet, BTW was the inspiration for the Billy Barty Artwork elsewhere on this website.

Anyway, Happy Holidays to everyone, and Here's the link to Chet's clever Christmas wishes to everyone, which I'll echo here!

Update:10/28/99

BOO!

It's late, but I wanted to post some new Halloween based customs. It's one of my favorite times of the year, and I always look forward to it. I have a few other Halloween based figures that MIGHT make it, but I'm, not sure yet, so here's what I've got for ya so far.

There's two conversions, from those awful Exclusive Premier Buffy figures.. they aren;'t all THAT bad, but needed some work. I did both Angel, and the Buffster herself.

Next is a mish mash kinda thing. He's Cthulhu, based on the Lovecraft books. If you like horror novels, I highly recommend them.

Next, is a Marvel Comic character, Mephisto, who pretty much is crafty devil.

Another conversion of a sort, Radu's been pretending to be Morbius for months.

Lastly is a character I really enjoyed, and REALLY had hoped would make the Halloween update. His head is pretty much done, but Cthulhu called, and I finished him off instead. So enjoy this "head shot", and have a safe and happy Halloween!

Update:9/17/99

First Off, Thanks to EVERYONE for the concern about Hurricane Floyd this week. We were very lucky, and got hardly any bad weather at all from it! I had many concerned emails, and want everyone to know I appreciate it, as well as the offers of shelter as well.

Course I can't let a "little" hurricane stop me, so Here's a new Custom Figure! Red Sonya is the new custom offering this week. She's a Robert E. Howard character, and if you like fantasy, check out the Conan books.. they are great reads! I think I'll have to do another of my favorite characters next. (BTW yes, I DO know that on her page I credited Edgar Rice Burroghs.. call it a brain fart! Oh, and as much as I loved the gorillas at Diseny's Animal Kingdom, I have now transferred to Disney's All Star Music Resort. Not as much glomour, but a hell of a lot easier, a I even get tips! Woo Woo!

Thanks also go out to NICK, for aquiring those oversized headed spice giurls I've been looking for this last year!

Oh, I FINALLY did a much needed additon to my links. If you like the stuff you see here, go visit some of my freinds (and enemies. LOL!!)

Oh, and a request: HOW the heck can I have my pages have a title on them, rather then "unamed document"?

 


 

 

Update: 8/29/99

OOO!! Look! Three updates in ONE MONTH! (Don't get used to this.. (wink) Tonight's update is another custom Famous Cover Marvel figure:Simon Garth, The ZOMBIE! You can always find all my famous cover customs by useing the nav bar, and then the famous covers link. Hope you enjoy him. I'll also be doing a micro update this week, adding the artwork for the MAXX's cuffs, and for Dr. Strange's chest emblem, by request. (Sorry it didn't make it this weekend.)


Update: 8/26/99

Look! Two updates in ONE MONTH! Tonight, I'm adding my best custom to date: My Custom FC DR. STRANGE! He really came out the way I wanted! Hope ya like him. Also, the Custom Man-thing is now posted on Ebay for sale.. you can check him out in the regular custom figures..

I am also considering doing custom work, if someone would like something here I've done, let me know. But keep in mind, if it's going to take me 10-30 hours to complete, it's not going to be something cheap. I'll figure out my hours somewhere around $10+ a hour, plus of course materials. I'm a honest person, but also have to consider tools, ect. (sewing machine, motodrill, custom sculpting or moldmakeing, ect.

This isn't to scare anyone off, but more meant to make sure is someone wants something, that they realize the craft involved. If it's a easy thing, it won't be costly at all.. but if it's more indepth, then it will of course, have to be compensated for.


Update: 8/10/99

Hi! Me again! Time for another update! Here's a few new goodies, to prove I have been busy these last few months.

First up will be a new Famous Cover Custom figure: Space Ghost! Also, you'll find Dr. Octopus! And a plea: If you're a toy buyer, I need a action figure to finish him off: a VAULT villian, ULTRON.. basically I need his forearms. If you can find one cheap on clarance, PLEASE snag him, and let me know! I'll happily pay $3 plus shipping for him. You can find the DR. Octopus link on the custom Famous Cover page. (BTW I also added a few Famous Cover goodies for you to download: Photoshop jpg files for Space Ghost's chest detail, and for his power band detailing. You'll also find the artwork for Dark Phoenix's chest emblem. Download em, and print em out, and stick em on! ;) You'll find these decals on my Misc artwork page.

Next up, are two computer colored images. I've been tinkering, trying to do computer coloring the same way the comic companies are doing. Both of these attempts came out damned nice, and I'm pretty stoked by them! Here's thumbnails. You can click on them, or go to the misc artwork page.

 

 

Lastly, I'm beginning to post some of my newer computer artwork. You'll find these on my Misc Artwork page in the nav bar. BTW one of em contains frontal nudity, so if yer a prude, don't go there! Keep this in mind before visiting that page.

Oh, another thing.. I've been trying to make this website easy to navigate.. if you find it difficult at all, PLEASE email me, and let me know what problems you're having. I won't promise anything, but I'll consider any ideas..

Welp, I'm off to finish the rest. Be good to each other, or wait till your father gets home! ;)


 

Update: 8/3/99

Man, I know what you're thinking.. this guy is NEVER going to update his page again! Well, Surprise! Here I am, still alive, and still doing more cool stuff. Today's update will include More famous cover customs, and a South Park custom Mecha-Streisand! (I had the idea for this right after seeing the episode, but had get the base igure I needed.)

The Famous Cover customs I'm adding tonight are:

Harley Quinn

Maxx

Poison Ivy

Red Dark Phoenix

and Nova

I'm also going to try to add two regular bits of artwork I've done, two computer coloring jobs I've experimented with. One is a poster from a old marvel black and white magazine, Tales Of the Zombie. The other, is a catfight between Harley Quinn, and Elvira

I Tried to email the original artist, to give him credit, but his email is dead. If ya see this, I did do the computer coloring, come take a gander! ;)

Sorry it took so long for this update, but I had a major computer crash, and lost my whole friggin boot hard drive, with 4 gigs worth of stuff on it. Lost all my old email addresses, old saved emails, ect. Remember people: they bug you to do backups for a reason! I also lost the original 3d files for my lightwave stuff from the last two years.. majhor bummer!

 

Oh, and like I always say, I'll try to update more often! (yeah, RIGHT!) ;)

Enjoy!


 

Update: 4/1/99

Gosh! time has flown past me!! Sorry I haven't updated much lately, but the holiday season really got the better of me this year! I hope you all had the same good holiday season that I did.

 

Now let's see.. new stuff.... Welp, we have a new gorilla at Pangani Forest.. It's a Girl!! Yup! on Jan 24th at 12:10 am sunday Benga had a little girl for us!

Enough of the Disney stuff though.. I'm adding a new custom tonight, a Famous Covers Lara Croft!! (Yeah I KNOW I already did Lara, but you can never have enough of a good thing!! Now that the Famous Covers figures are under $10, they are worth the bucks to me.. and warning, are VERY addictive! I'll add some Famous Cover custom websites to my links list asap (but MINE'S the best.. LOL!!)

Another thing I'm adding, is a picture I did up for a good freind, Chet, of Mcfarlane toys... He's a REAL fan of Billy Barty, and Collects all things billy, so I did this as a gift for him.

Both Lara and Billy have their own pages, added to the navigation bar to your left.. and to make loading quicker, all new figures n such will get thier own page, other then the new wallpaper (and there WILL be new atari synapse wallpapers asap...

If there's anything you want to see more of, email me, dammit! It's not like I didn't add a bazillion links hee for feedback.. ;))

Oh, and I'm thinking of finally makeing my Lightwave 3D models public Domain.. might as well share em with the owrld, so soon there will be Battlestar Galatica, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, and Yellow submarine 3D meshes (and imagemaps) on the page here somewhere.. (I REALLY got to cut down on my hobbies . . (Giggle!)

And if you're REALLY OOD, I'll update more frequently (or if life gets slow/dull)


Update: 10/25/98

Great news!! I heard from a few people that I never thought I would! First I heard and got a update to something that's been posted here from the start: the racey styled Tinkerbell on the Dizney page! The original Disney Animator wasn't happy with the old version, so go see the 98 update!! I also heard from someone who has a Synapse "Zepplin" box, and he'll be sending me a scan of it soon, so it'll be added to the wallpaper page, along with another new synapse/Tim Boxell cover in a week or so.. anything else you guys would liek to see more of? LMK.. Also notice the new custom figures are now getting their own page each, so eventually, you won't have that long load with everything on one page....and I have a EASY custom figure that should be posted this week.. Just in time for Halloween! (My FAVORITE Holiday, unless I get a ton of presents on Christmas.. ;))
