Vampire Surf 3D Prints — neon wordmark

The Work

A body of work, not a catalog. Every piece below came off one printer, by hand. Pieces marked Original are my own designs — commissions open. Pieces marked Showcase are examples of the craft — studies, gifts and personal pieces shown so you can see what the bench can do.

PHOTO SLOT — Danzig SkullJohnny's photo swaps in here

The Danzig Skull — Glow

Showcase In the Works

The flagship: a horned skull relief printed in glow-in-the-dark filament, cracks hand-painted dark so the light lives in the bone. First of the infinity shadowbox line.

PHOTO SLOT — Death DealerJohnny's photo swaps in here

Death Dealer — Study

Showcase Big Version Planned

A small test of the horned rider — the silhouette read clean at mini scale. The big version is coming.

PHOTO SLOT — Owl BoyJohnny's photo swaps in here

Owl Boy in the Thorn Nest

Original Big Version Planned

My own character — a small white owl boy with X eyes and a stitched grin, nested in black thorns on a puzzle cube. Original art, start to finish.

PHOTO SLOT — El CucuyJohnny's photo swaps in here

El Cucuy

Original Character Finished

The hooded one — cape, bandolier, blade and gun — title entity of my next film, printed big in black. He stands exactly as menacing as drawn.

PHOTO SLOT — Predator BustJohnny's photo swaps in here

Predator Bust

Showcase Finished

A hunter's bust — face, mandibles, armor and shoulder cannon all reading true. Part of a gift build: bust high in a shadow box, an oversized blaster below.

PHOTO SLOT — Robotic XenomorphJohnny's photo swaps in here

Robotic Xenomorph

Showcase Finished

A crouched biomech on a rock base — and the long segmented tail arc came through in one piece. The hard part, landed.

PHOTO SLOT — Mini T-Rex SkullJohnny's photo swaps in here

Mini T-Rex Skull

Showcase Big Version Planned

Teeth row, sockets and jaw resolved clean at miniature scale. A bigger rex is on the bench list.

PHOTO SLOT — Rat Skull, True ScaleJohnny's photo swaps in here

Rat Skull — True Scale

Original Line Series Open

Printed at true life size — 1:1, no scaling up. The anchor of the True-Scale Skull Cabinet: animal skulls at their natural sizes, where the scale itself is the signature.

Black Terror — the winged Firebird vessel, white prototype, front view

Black Terror — Vulture Wing

Original Big Build Planned

My favorite of my own designs: the winged vessel, asymmetric by design — one wing full-feathered, one bare. The big build scales the wings to the full print bed, then the car to match.

PHOTO SLOT — The Emblem DemonJohnny's photo swaps in here

The Emblem Demon — On Cloud

Original Redesign Filed

The Vampire Surf emblem, in the flesh: a black demon descending out of a black cloud — reimagined on lightning-bolt supports, striking the ground as he lands.

PHOTO SLOT — Kodan ShadowJohnny's photo swaps in here

Kodan Shadow

Original Character Flagship Redo

My lead — the hooded one with the oscillator mouth. He gets the flagship treatment: printed on a base, cape as its own tailored part, bigger. Nothing less.

PHOTO SLOT — Horror Kids VampireJohnny's photo swaps in here

Horror Kids — The Vampire

Original Cast Run Coming

First of the Hallowbrook Elementary cast, printed as art pieces — my own characters from the Horror Kids show, every one of them headed for the shelf.

PHOTO SLOT — Old PiggyJohnny's photo swaps in here

Old Piggy

Showcase Redo Queued

A skull-headed boar with a spine mohawk — and a support-war veteran. His redo runs the hybrid support recipe his first run taught the bench.

The Chess Set — gold army versus black biomech army on the dragon-scale board

The Chess Set — Showcase

Showcase One-Off Gift

A full custom chess set — serpent pawns in white and black, olive royals, a dragon — designed, printed and finished by one pair of hands. Not a product. Proof.

Storage base: PETG · Pieces: hand-finished · Lives: Indoors

PHOTO SLOT — Portrait PlaquesJohnny's photo swaps in here

Portrait Plaques — The Legends Series

Showcase Personal Collection

Museum-style portrait reliefs of music legends — Ritchie Valens first, a RockWalk replica in progress, more queuing behind them. Proof the machine can do faces.

Know Your Material

Vampire Kissed

a vapor-gloss finish

Our in-between finish: a light vapor pass melts the layer lines away and leaves a polished, cast sheen. ASA & ABS only — and the skull cabinet wears it best.

Every piece names what it's made of — and every shipped piece carries its spec card in the box. Where a piece lives matters as much as how it looks.

PLA

The display classic

  • Softens from: ~55°C / 131°F
  • Sun: Indoor only — goes brittle in sun
  • Water: Splashes fine; not for standing water
  • Lives best: Shelves, desks, display cases
  • Finishes: Sands & paints the easiest

PETG

The tough everyday

  • Softens from: ~70°C / 158°F
  • Sun: Good — shade or a season outdoors
  • Water: Resistant — the water-bottle family
  • Lives best: Anywhere indoors; light duty outside
  • Finishes: As-printed or clear-coated

ASA

The outdoor king

  • Softens from: ~90°C / 194°F
  • Sun: Excellent — made for full weather
  • Water: Resistant
  • Lives best: Outside, year-round
  • Finishes: Takes the Vampire Kiss™

ABS

The heat handler

  • Softens from: ~85°C / 185°F
  • Sun: Poor — yellows and weakens in UV
  • Water: Fair to good
  • Lives best: Warm indoor spots, car interiors
  • Finishes: Takes the Vampire Kiss™

Not sure which material your idea wants? That's what the commission conversation is for — the right plastic for where the piece will live.

Commissions

Bring me your idea. Commissions are the front door of Vampire Surf — custom pieces made for collectors, never mass-produced.

  1. Email your idea. A photo, a sketch, or just the words — and the size you're thinking. (Already have a file? Send that too.)
  2. One flat quote. I slice it, work the design, and send you a single flat price before anything prints.
  3. 50% deposit starts your piece. The deposit is non-refundable once printing begins. The balance is due on completion, before shipping or pickup.
  4. You approve the photos. Nothing ships until you've seen your finished piece and signed off on it.

Typical turnaround 3–5 days, quoted per piece. Rush available at +50%, subject to the one-printer queue. Second identical piece: design fee waived, print at −25%.

Hand-painting (wet-sanded, hand-finished Tier 2 work) is available on commission — order-only, quoted with your piece.

The One That Sells While I Sleep

PHOTO SLOT — Glow Aztec Death WhistleJohnny's photo swaps in here

Glow-in-the-Dark Aztec Death Whistle — $25

Material: Glow PETG · Finish: As-printed, always · Sound-tested before it ships

One deliberate exception to the one-at-a-time rule: a small, sound-tested Aztec death whistle in glow filament, in a brown kraft cube box. The scream of the ancient world, charged by your lamp. Everything else on this page is a one-off. This one is the cash engine — order it by email, same as everything else.

Order the Whistle — $25

Original Monsters

From the old novels & folklore — never from a movie. The whistle is growing a family: every monster whistle is built on the same proven, sound-tested whistle, wearing an original Vampire Surf face. In the works: The Count · Shelley's Monster · The Bride · The Howler · The Lagoon Fish-Man. No copies. No costumes. Ours.

The Timelapse Wall

Every print, born on camera. Short timelapses from the bench — watch a piece rise out of the plate, layer by layer.

About the Artist

Vampire Surf 3D Prints is one artist in Hollywood, California — self-taught, hands-on, and stubborn about one thing: a printed piece should carry the mark of its maker.

Every numbered piece is signed and serial-numbered — the serial recessed into the base, the signature set in its own well, both ink-filled by hand — and recorded in a permanent registry that is never reused or reissued. Each numbered piece ships with a provenance card matched to its serial. Replacement pieces are marked REPLACEMENT. No print farm does this. That's the point.

The work runs from hand-drawn foundations to finished objects — original characters, relief plaques, true-scale skulls, glow work — plus a running series taking an idea from a hand sketch to a printed miniature on camera. Commissions are the front door: bring an idea, get a piece that exists exactly once.

An artist, not a retailer. Custom pieces, for collectors.
