BATMAN HOTROD CAR Resin Model Kit Design

The other day a friend reminded me of a wonderful website called SUGAR FROSTED GOODNESS. It's a site for "Graphic Design Nerds" ( I mean that in a good way, ha ha ) who appreciate good design in the skills of graphic & commercial art. It's also a neat page for visual eye-candy. While there I discovered a Graphic Artist / Illustrator named Chris Parks. He's from Wichita, Kansas & his main focus are corporate logos. He also likes to dabble in vinyl toy designs & came up with this amazing "Hot Rod Car" resin model kit featuring...Batman!!



Here's a photo of the model kit completed...


And here's another photo of the packaging & another "paint variation" on the kit. I Actually like the 2nd one better! Mainly because the colors of Batman are more like the "comic book version". Click on it to see a larger, more detailed, photo. I also love the graphics on the box. They look a lot those "Weird-O's Hot Rod Model Kits" from the 1960's. Especially the font design...nice!

Here's a link to check out his official interview. He does some very cool stuff so you might like just looking at the artwork, ha ha!

Concept Art: Custom BATMAN FIGURE Urban Toy Designs


I found a very talented guy on MySpace who did some very cool concept art designs for a Batman Vinyl Urban Toy idea. He had a few variations & for this article I picked my 2 favorites. The left one is the Classic Blue, Yellow, & Grey suit ( I like this one best ). The one on the right is the more modern black & dark-grey version...cool! Please leave a comment & let us know which one you prefer. His name is "TRE DEEZEE" & here's a link to his MySpace page. Check it out sometime because his art style is pretty cool.
