J.R. Goldberg: No longer a Bigfoot-like mystery


J.R. Goldberg: The Enbuttoning from Chancre Scolex

Now here’s a thing, yeah?  J.R.  had been making these lil hand-painted buttons for a bit when, one night, while walking the streets in search of crime to fight, I hit upon the idea of doing sets of the things together.  The theme for the buttons would be ‘Mortal Enemies’, with one of us painting one character and the other painting their mortal enemy, whomever or whatever that may be.

Having finished my second character ahead of time, I took to filming J.R. painting said character’s nemesis, a somewhat sickly looking lizard man.

I figure this helps demonstrate what goes into these tiny images, and also shows off my coveted Pope mug.

It’s a bit nicer looking in HD over on the actual Vimeo site.

AYCH DEE!

J.R goes into a bit more detail as to the creation of the image itself over at el blog de cunch.

Enjoy.

    Oh that’s neat! Nice video editing there, Mr. Vasquez.

    Good song choice too. Loving technopop. Or whatever they’re calling it nowadays. Techno-something or other.

    I digress.

    Wish I could draw that tiny. Geeze.

    i love the idea of ‘Mortal Enemies’ button set. I appreciate seeing the process to create such a beautiful pig-lizard-man-thing button. It’s like seeing a unicorn being born out of a man, just magical. The entire process was somewhat captivating but when the white details where being applied I really started drooling. Seeing it all come together is just great. Looking foward to see what you two end up with.

    Oh and yes I do have mug envy right now.

    The Pope Mug looks like a crafty way of demonstrating his papal love to his adepts.
    I just stare in awe, wishing one day I can amount to something like this.
    Can I please know which materials he used for this and how much time this took?
    Thanks for the video.

    P.S. Show yours?

    I hate to be so broke this year… but I’ll fight to the death for one of those masterpieces soon enough.

    I’m amazed to see how detailed this little button is, not to say I really love Cunch’s work.

    Now I need to go rob a bank to buy some.
