Artistic Ape Studio

🎉 Meet the newest (and scaliest) member of the Artistic Ape Studio family... Mr. Biscuits! 🦎💚

For Rob's birthday, we welcomed home this handsome 5 year old bearded dragon, and he's already claimed the title of Official Shop Mascot... or should we say, "Shop Dragon!" 🐉

You'll probably catch Mr. Biscuits supervising our 3D printers, judging our paint jobs, soaking up the heat while everyone else works, and making sure quality control is up to par. His management style mostly consists of giving us "the side eye" until someone holds him. 😂

Be sure to say hello when you stop by the studio! Just don't be surprised if he's the one running the place.

Welcome to the team, Mr. Biscuits! ❤️🦎

✨ What an absolutely INCREDIBLE weekend we had at Capital City Comic Con in Lansing! ✨

Our hearts are full as we reflect on an amazing weekend spent with friends, family, fellow creators, and fans. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience!

First and foremost, a huge THANK YOU to Brian Harris and Tim Hunt for inviting us back to be part of the Capital City Comic Con family. It is always an honor to be included in such an incredible event, and we sincerely appreciate your continued support.

A very special shout-out goes to the entire Capital City Comic Con crew—you all are the real "superheroes!" 🦸 From helping with load-in and load-out to checking in on us throughout the weekend, your kindness, organization, and hard work never go unnoticed. You help make this one of our favorite conventions every single year!

It was also wonderful catching up with so many friends in the costuming community, including the 501st Legion, League of Enchantment, G.I. Joe Group, Star Trek Group, and the Helldivers. Thank you for bringing your passion, creativity, and incredible costumes that make these events so much fun!

This weekend also reminded us just how blessed we are to have such an incredible team behind Artistic Ape Studio.

🎨 James – Thank you for your dedication to the art, the vision, and everything you do. Your digital sculpting talents continue to amaze us, and you're truly our digital wizard.

🎨 Alex & Bri – Thank you both for assembling, painting, running our laser engraving division, capturing photos and videos, and jumping in wherever you're needed. You're both growing into incredible makers, and we couldn't be prouder.

🎨 Cliff – Thank you for helping keep the studio running smoothly by organizing, cleaning, prepping pieces for paint, and always being willing to lend a hand. Your work keeps us on track.

🎨 Zachary – Thank you for handling shipping, packaging, inventory, and helping care for Riley and all of our dogs while we're away at conventions. Your support behind the scenes means more than you know.

❤️ And finally... Rob.

Thank you for sharing your God-given artistic talents with the world. From clay sculpting and digital design to processing files, maintaining our print farm, and continually adapting to life's challenges, you inspire all of us every day. I'm so incredibly proud of everything you've accomplished, and I feel blessed that we get to build this dream together.

And to everyone who stopped by our booth this weekend...

Thank you.

Whether you came to say hello, shared a laugh, placed a custom order, made a purchase, needed help with a costume repair, or traveled from another city—or even another state—to see us again, your support means the world to our family. Seeing returning customers year after year while meeting so many new faces is truly humbling.

Every conversation, every smile, every handshake, and every order reminds us why we love doing what we do.

Thank you for believing in Artistic Ape Studio and allowing us to do what we love. Your support helps turn our dreams into reality, and we can't wait to continue creating one-of-a-kind pieces for all of you.

Until the next convention... keep imagining, keep creating, and we'll see you down the road! 🦍🎨✨
