Jim McKenzie

A “Pumpkin Crab Meet Up” at Bewitching III

  • by

Meet upMaking his debut at Stranger Factory for Bewitching III is the hot new artist on everyone’s watch list, Jim McKenzie.  Making waves and keeping the momentum going since his successful Kickstarter campaign, Jim is a perfect addition to the Bewitching group show. His energy and style is a fitting compliment to the stellar group of artists already joining us for the October show. Utilizing the pumpkin crab from his Kickstarter fame, Jim has created the acrylic painting “Pumpkin Crap Meet Up” that will soon be on its way to the rest of the pumpkin patch in Albuquerque.

We will have more from Bewitching III coming soon, and if you want to see more from Jim, he has a brand new site here.

 

Scott Radke’s Brilliant ‘King Killian’ Commission

Jaw. On. The. Floor.

Scott Radke was recently commissioned by indie filmmaker Jim McKenzie to bring two of his characters to life, Roach and Fred the dog, from McKenzie’s fantasy-drama short, King Killian.

I could go on and on about how fabulous these sculpts are, but your time would be far better served watching the film. It’s the most powerful 2 minutes and 23 seconds you’ll experience today.

I know. Hits you right where it hurts the most. The Killian project was McKenzie’s labour of love for two years, working on it while attending college and then eventually finishing it as part of his degree. If you’re interested in the project, check out the King Killian blog for some insight into the process.
