Ragin' Bull Moody artwork for Shuffle Up & Deal 2
Friday, March 18, 2011
Bovinyl partnered up with graphic wizard Aaron Keeling on the card artwork for the Shuffle Up & Deal 2 fundraiser for the Royal Canadian Legion. We narrowed it down to three designs and finally settled on the traditional playing card image (top image).
55 local artists will be designing the cards that will be transformed into a standard playing card deck (including the Jokers and the back of the cards). The original card art will be auctioned off at the 'Shuffle Up & Deal 2' fundraising event. Last year's fundraiser was a huge success with all proceeds from the sale of decks and artwork going towards programming at the Bowman Arts Centre.
Thanks again to Aaron for lending his talents to another Bovinyl art project.

Ragin' Bull Moody custom by Bovinyl
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
Bovinyl was asked to design one of the playing cards for the 'Shuffle Up
and Deal Two' fundraiser for the Royal Canadian Legion. 55 local
artists will be designing the cards that will be transformed into a
standard playing card deck (including the Jokers and the back of the
card). The original card art will be auctioned off at the 'Shuffle Up
and Deal Two' fundraising event. Last year's fundraiser was a huge
success with all proceeds from the sale of decks and artwork going
towards programs at the Bowman Arts Centre.
The theme for this year's set is military aircraft nose art. Nose art
started as a way to identify planes, however it soon developed into a
true art form. It pushed the limits of military conformity and provided a
unique way of connecting troops to their lives at home. The art was
inspired by memories of peacetime life and acted as a type of
psychological protection against the stresses associated with war. Nose
art was not officially approved by the military, however the regulations
that would have seen the art removed from aircraft was never enforced.
The Ragin' Bull custom was inspired by the menacing shark mouth art that
appeared on a number of different war planes such as the Spitfire and
P-40 Warhawk during WWII. Ragin' Bull features a camo paint job and a
working propeller.

Headhunter Moody custom by Ryan Fuchs (Canada)
Friday, March 11, 2011
We were very impressed with the 'Headhunter' Moody custom created by talented Edmonton, Alberta based artist, Ryan Fuchs. This was the first time that Ryan had customized a platform toy and we hope that it won't be his last. Ryan is a professional graphic artist and photographer with a great eye for detail.
The 'Headhunter' Moody comes complete with head-dress, spear, shrunken head and other 'equipment' ... the headhunters bubble butt and twig & berries definitely brought a smile to our faces. The only things that are missing from this brilliant piece are a drum beat and some chanting ... "ouga chaka ouga chaka ..." Ahhh, National Geographic would be proud of these uncensored images. Excellent job Ryan! We can't wait to see what you'll come up with next.
