Halloween at Mark Ryden’s #EyeAm show was so much fun. I tried doing Frankenstein makeup but it wound up looking like a zombie. Hope everyone had a great ween!

Last year I was asked to sculpt this for Ariana Grande from “The Boy Is Mine” music video. Coinsidently one year later I’m sculpting two other people from the same song. 👀 #painting #polymerclay #theboyismine #arianagrande #jimmckenzie #clay #art #sculpt #sculpture

🎥 I never thought I deserved a documentary but @kaylanxduran and @noahsfire seem to think otherwise as they’ve been filming my daily shenanigans the past few months. I’m not sure where this film is going, but I hope it’s an honest look into the life of an independent artist.

Art directing a stop motion for LEGO!!😱
Out of all the crazy projects I’ve worked on this year this one takes the cake. We used a combination of Lego bricks and kid-crafted elements to create these amazing sets for #Lego #BuildTheChange . Not only was it a dream project to work on but the message behind it was most important. We got to work one on one with children in schools to and helped inspire them to think big and build their ideal worlds. We then took their ideas and implemented them into the stop motion piece. Even my son had a few of his in there. Thanks to @stoopidbuddystoodios for trusting me with this and to @lego for letting us all bring this to life! And huge thanks to @johnandrewmyers who sat with me for weeks making tiny cardboard buildings together. Full video coming soon.
