*Exclusive* Andrew Bell Headphonie


This awesome Headphonie version is from Andrew Bell, but it is only a proto and not going into production for Headphonies Series 2, but it is sure something to look forward to in the future. I had the choice to post this now, later, or never and just could not stop myself... I had to share it with you all! The reason this piece will not be in this series is because to quote Eran, creator of the Headphonies, "It's a damn hard one to print, but it is really cool and unique so I am hoping I can make it work." So...there you have it, lets all cross our fingers and just hope this sees the light of day!

Tara McPherson @ Narwhal Arts Projects May 8 2009


Toronto's one stop vinyl and art shop Magic Pony has opened up a separate gallery space that they have dubbed "Narwhal Art Projects". Tara McPherson was in town for a show at the gallery, and as a guest at The Toronto Comic Arts Festival.

The show was opening at 6pm, but by about 5:30 a line of excited fans had started to form. In line the fans chatted about how they found out about McPherson's work. Many had discovered her from the show posters she has done for bands from the punk, hardcore, and metal music scenes. Shortly after 6 the doors opened and the fans drooled over the prints that hung on the walls.
McPherson was very friendly and took the time to chat with each fan for a little while as she doodled and sketched in books or on toys. She even added a little personal touch to the framed pieces on the walls, adding a little doodle at the buyer's request. A soundtrack of music by bands that McPherson has worked with played in the background, I think it's the first time I have heard Mastodon play in a gallery space.

Robot13 from BlackList Studios


I just got some awesome info from Thomas Hall, the writer & co-creator of a comic called Robot 13. On the surface, Robot 13 is about a skull headed robot who fights giant monsters from Greek Mythology(which would look sweet as a vinyl figure). From a storytelling standpoint, however, it's somewhat a reworking of Frankenstein meeting Homer's Odyssey- it's the story of a thing created by Science who goes on a Hero's journey of sorts to find out who he really is.

I had the opportunity to check out their first issue and was really impressed with every aspect of this comic! If you guys are really digging what you are seeing and want to see more, just visit the BlackList Studios site HERE. I totally like the illustration style and the story is fantastic. I am sooooo into this and look forward to seeing more from these guys!

Ruby Winkle by Meghan Killeen


Ruby Winkle is a tale about a young girl who tirelessly searches for sleep. Through a series of mishap inventions, imitations and insight, Ruby soon discovers that the best solution for sleep is surprisingly the simplest. When Meghan approached me about posting this, I was more than happy to help get her art out there, her long term goals are to make this character into a toy... hopefully plush. If any of you out there have the means to do this, or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact Meghan HERE.

Ruby Winkle pursues an evasive night of sleep with her teddy bear companion, Garble. She comically uses science, sleuth work and inventions to regain her loss of sleep. She also questions the supernatural possibilities of a monster and turns to the magic of hypnosis to aid her quest for rest. Along the way, Ruby meets several characters who try to help her relentless search. Skats, the beatnik bat, demonstrates his freestyle form of sleep and Dink, the glowworm nightlight, offers his illuminating guidance. After a sequence of ingenious attempts and trials,
it is Rubys mother who offers the easiest suggestion
for a night of zzz...s.


MEGHAN KILLEEN BIO:

Rotobox "Do you Remember Love?"


It looks like the boys over at Rotobox are at it again and this time they are taking their customs in a whole new direction. They say "Here's a teaser for our Rotobox real robot series. We're very excited about this one because this is going to be a different series from our Suparobo series." I am really looking forward to seeing what they have up their sleeve, and Andy over at ToysREvil did some super sleuthing himself and found an awesome video of what he thinks might be the basis for this upcoming series...hit the jump to see what he found!
