2 New Pop Arts for Christmas

Just finished up two new pop art paintings I did for Kat's sister and her sisters boyfriend. We gave them to them as a x-mas gift.

New Pinball Half Black Half Chrome!!!

Got it up on the website now. The new ball is half black and half chrome. This ball looks awesome in play. I had it on test at the Chicago Expo and got great feedback from people. Best feedback I heard was that it was easy to follow. No longer should the ball being all black be a problem to see. This ball almost flashes as it rolls. Hope everyone likes the new ball and I will have a lot of other updates in the next few weeks. Thanks!

Lord of the Rings Hardware done!!!

Finished up the LOTR hardware kit just in time for expo. It will be on the website in a few days. Glad everyone likes the color now that the Gold writing is on it. Had to do it all freehand but I think it came out great. Hope everyone like.

Spider man Wall art all done!!!

Finished up the wall art just in time for the expo (thanks to my awesome laser engraver). Thanks Stacy! They were a big hit and everyone loved them. They are about 2 feet tall and about 10 in wide. They are made from mirrored red and black arcylic and have a web design laser etched into them, along with another layer of solid black or gray acrylic glued on top of that in the shape of a half spider. We will have them on the website to purchase in a few days with all the final detail pics and sizes. Till then here are a few pictures of what they look like.

2 New Paintings Done!!!

Finished up the Buba Fett for Rob who I got to meet at the expo and was very nice. Thanks for the work Rob, hope you enjoy the painting. Also finished up a Spider man painting. It is for sale and is 16x 20 and I will sell it for $40 plus shipping.

Spider Man plastics are on there way!

Laser, laser, laser! Getting all the Spider Man plastics lasered out for expo. Thank You Stacy!!!!! :)

Final touches on LOTR Hardware

Finished up the hardware last night but need to take the machine into the paint booth to get some good pictures of it. The lighting in the front room is bad for detail pictures and showing true colors. None the less to a few sneak peak pics of it on the game, but keep in mind they were not the best pictures of it. I will have better pictures in a few days and it will be on the website as well.

LOTR Hardware update, Siderails

Just finished up the LOTR siderails. Had to hand paint each of them, but I think they came out really nice. Can wait to put it back on the machine and see how it looks. Still have the lockdown bar to do but will do that tomorrow night. Hope everyone likes.

Simpsons Glow in the dark Radioactive Green Hardware!!!

Just got the green and the glow in the dark laid out on the 2 sample pieces. The green is perfect and really looks like a Cartoon Radioactive Green color. ( sorry the picture does not do it justice) I have some more testing to do on the glow in the dark factor. It glows just fine in the dark but when you turn on the game the playfield lights drown out the glow. Looks awesome when not on but not sure if the glow would be worth the money. Ether way I will be offering the Radioactive Green color for the Simpsons and I believe it would look great on Big Bang Bar too. More updates to follow and it will be at the expo to check out.

New Batman Topper and Wall Decoration!!!!

New Batman topper and wall art piece. Plan on having it ready for expo and gonna offer it in a few colors. I am thinking a gold like in the picture and a silver. You will be able to hang it on the wall as decoration or you can use it as a pinball topper. It is about 8in round. Hope everyone likes.

LOTR Hardware in the works!!

Just finished up the powder coating on the hardware for the LOTR. I went with a rust color that Kat had picked out. It is a nice old leather color brown, that has black and reds swirled into it and gives it a textured look. I still need to add in the wording from the inside of the ring. I plan on writting the letters in gold down the siderails. Will have it done at at the expo for everyone to see. The pictures below don't do the color enough justice.

Proto-type Spiderman Plastics

Just got back from my laser engraver. He finished the proto-type Spider man Plastics. Not sure which color combo I am planning on offering. I think I will offer all 4 styles of them.

Finished another set of Bean Bag boxes!

Just finished a set of Bean Bag boxes for my buddies College reunion. The Bears and his College Frat box.

Fett is coming to the Pinball Expo!!!!

Started on a Fett painting for a client to pick up in a few weeks at the Pinball Expo. Still have a ways to go on it but it is taking shape.

Update 1990 Batman Pop Art

Got a chance to do a little more work on the 1990 Batman Pop Art. Gonna have to put it on hold for a bit have way to much to make before the convention.

2 New Paintings Started for Pinball Expo

Got a chance to paint for a few hours this weekend. Started work on 2 of the many paintings I am planning on making for the Pinball Expo. 1990's Batman and Spider-man. Still got a lot more work to do on them, but they are taking shape.

Batman Pop Art for my Dads Birthday

Today I went to Wizard World Comic convention with Kat and my Dad. I made this painting for him to have signed by Adam West and Burt Ward. I must say that both West and Ward are really great guys. Both liked the painting and signed it to my dad. My Dads was like a kid for the rest of the show showing everyone. Glad you like your gift and Happy Birthday Pops!

Spiderman Building Update

Finally it seems like I am getting some where on these buildings. Got 2 out of the 5 buildings all airbrushed. Takes a long time to make this many look all the same, especially with having a full time job. Oh well, there almost done, hang in there guys. Should have them finally ready to ship out this weekend!!!

Batman and Robin Pop Art for Autograph

Making a PopArt of Batman and Robin in the Batmobile to have signed by Adam West and Burt Ward at the Chicago Comic Con. It is a gift for my Dad and he will get to meet them and get the autograph. Happy early B-day dad. Still got a ways to go but it kinda looks like them.

The Mound of Spider Man Orders!!!

Spent the past several days working on the Spider Man orders. Got a huge response to them after releasing them earlier last week. Thanks everyone for the orders and keep them coming :)

Spider man Candy Blue Hardware kit!

I have just finished making the Candy Blue Hardware for the Spider man Pinball. I will now offer a powder coating service on my site for your hardware. This color is really nice and even though the picture is nice it still does not do it justice. Kits are available on the website.

Spider man Add ons are all done!!!

Finally I have all of the mods done!!! Everything is available for sale on the website at: www.backalleycreations.com I have a 5 pc building set, a 3 pc sandman set and a Train all for the Spider man Pinball. I am still working on the Spider man plastics for the slingshots. Plan on having those done in about 2 weeks.

Spider-man Building mods are painted!!!

Got all of the final kinks worked out in getting the new style buildings to fit. Also got all 5 of them painted. All that is left is to make some plastics for each of the windows and decide if clear or a color is best for the windows. Will have prices on them tomorrow night for all SM items.

Time for Spiderman to get finished!!!!

I am going to be spending the weekend finishing up on the Spiderman mods/add ons. I will be posting something each night on the progress of them and should have the final prices for them figured out by the end of the weekend. Thanks for every being so patient.

Pinbrawl Trophy's Done!!!!

They are done!!!!!! Just finished up all of the Pinbrawl Trophy! Had about 50 of them to make. Everyone can pick there trophy up at the Michigan Pinball Expo this week. It was great working with John and we hope they have a great show this weekend. Now back to working on the Spiderman mods!!!

Prison Break Pop Art Update

Did a little more work on Kats Prison Break painting. Still a long way to go, but it's getting there.

Pinbrawl Trophy Plates all Laser

Just finished lasering all 33 of the plates for the trophy's. Should have the trophy's all done at the end of the weekend! :)

Weekend Projects 6-5-10

Spent most the weekend working on touching up the Pinbrawl trophys and preping them to prime/paint. I also poured a few Spider-man Buildings to get a jump start on them. Scott is working on the light mod for them and should be done very soon, which means the release for the buildings will happen in the next few weeks. :) Finally!!! :)

I have also started to make the other Batman mods and poured the mock ups of those. Finally,I had drawn up a layout for a set of Chicago Bears Bean Bag boxes for a friend of mine. Will get to painting them in the next few days after Kat gets the final prep work and priming done to it.

First Look Iron Man Hardware Kit: Video

Here is a first look at the mock up pieces for the Iron Man Hardware Kit. It is a candy apple red and with it being a candy it does look different in different lighting. The truest shot of the actual color is at 1min 17 seconds in til the end of the clip. I will have a full HD video of how the pieces look once I have them all done. Still have lots to paint on them and a custom mod for it too. Check the video out here at this link: Click here to watch video

PinBrawl Trophy

Just finished casting the 33rd trophy and finished all of the layout for the plates to be laser for it. I know everyone has been bugging Koz about when he is gonna get them done and I am here to say that it will not be much longer. I have to double check the spelling on the plates and then it's off to laser them. I should have all of the trophy's painted by the end of the weekend. I am guessing that they should be done and ready to ship by the 12th as long as they don't get held up at the laser engraver. Not much longer...hang in there guys ;) Thanks

Iron:Man Hardware Kit

Went to Mike from Great American Pinball's house on Monday and tested out the Iron:Man Hardware Kit. The candy Red looks great on the machine, I still have a lot more detail work to do to the lockdown bar as well as a really custom mod for the lockdown bar. I should have a video of the hardware to post in the next few days to show the true color of the hardware. Til then I have a picture here and a link to view a few more. But keep in mind that the photo does "Not" give the red candy the true credit it deserves. click here to see more iron:man pics
