“NINJA CHILLIN’ ” by Ron English (( 2012 ))

☠ ☠

“This summer some of the news that was released was the new designer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Merchandise line coming out. With watches, shoes, and shirts are some of the things we’ll be seeing for TMNT. This is bringing out new styles of art that we have yet to see on the official side of store sales. One of the artist who did some of these pieces is Ron English. At San Diego Comic Con International a lot of us fans saw some of Ron’s artwork get released to the public on shirts, which was a promotion for the Ninja Turtle watches that he designed. At New York City Comic Con we were able to catch up with Ron to ask him about .. ..

A good friend and fellow Ninja Turtle fan Tokka, joins me as the co-host in this interview. Tokka is a fan of Ron English, so he knew a lot of areas that I did not know about with Ron’s work. It was great to have Tokka on the show. A lot of fans may know him for his posts on Go Green Machine, Twitter, Facebook and so many other places on the internet. Tokka is an artist, who was even published by Mirage as one of the pin up pages in Tales of TMNT Volume 2.

Tokka and I talk to Ron about his history in art, how he originally learned of Ninja Turtles, and how he is now involved in the future of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We also talk a bit on how the fans of the Classic TMNT are reacting to this new swing with the Turtles.”

–>> In case ya missed it, watch Tokka play the FOOL as one of the most distracted Ninja Turtle zombies in history.

The RON x FLÜD collab- releases parallel this years FILA/TMNT releases. Ron also hints at his future with Nick, FLÜD, and the Turtles & soon-to-be released TMNT work in follow ups to the now infamous LEONARDO as MONA LISA piece ( made available as am exclusive poster at SDCC ’12 ). Hurry before Tokka collapses into a useless puddle of undead, toxic goo and gets toxic Mutagenic fluids all all over your fancy watch there.

–>> Here’s a fun project for TMNT do-it-yourselfers !!

A simple department store frame slightly larger than the completed puzzle was used here. **Traditional puzzle saving methods with MODGE PODGE water-based sealer glue was used. HOWEVER, only a few coats on the BACK OF THE PUZZLE were used.

Any variety of puzzle-saver glue or MODGE PODGE should suffice !!

The principles of the lenticular puzzle pieces are of a more ridged plastic than the standard cardboard jigsaw puzzle. Once a lenticular puzzle is completed, at least at this scale and with this many number of pieces ..you can carefully flip the completed puzzle over. A larger number of pieces in a lenticular puzzle, that may require additional assistance or flipping tricks to turn that type of puzzle over.

Once the sealer had been coated on the back of the puzzle a few times, simple matting and framing was implemented with a background of Nick TMNT gift-wrap under the puzzle. You don’t have to do this obviously, it’s just what i did to add to the visual theme of the puzzle. Again i did not laminate the front to keep the original 3d effect of the puzzle. Sealing the front could potentially ruin the effect.

The puzzle in this particular frame is a little tight. You have to use the sealant carefully as if you use to much and/or unevenly .. it can warp a puzzle. I may have done that slightly to this puzzle, i’m not sure. Still i managed to get the piece to fit in the frame. YOU WANT THE PUZZLE TO BE AS FLAT AS WHEN YOU ORIGINALLY FINISHED IT WHEN SEALING WITH THE PUZZLE SAVER.
