"Name the Monster, Win the Monster" Contest


Thanks to all that participated... now Brian needs to sort through over 150 entries and pick the winning name... as soon as that happened I will post it up here. Thanks to all who participated and to Brian for doing this contest with us!

Brian Ahlbeck aka Lysol is a self taught “artist” and has been collecting and customizing vinyl toys for about a year and a half. He's worked on several different toy platforms for art shows, commissions and as personal pieces but has always wanted to go past just customizing.

For a while now he has been toying with the idea of designing and producing his own resin figure. After much research and work, here it is his first resin figure. The only problem is he's got no name. What kind of life is it for a nameless monster? That's where all the loyal SpankyStokes.com readers come in... just submit up to 3(three) names below in the comments section and the best name picked by Brian wins #1 of only 13 handpainted customs of maybe your own, soon to be named, monster :-) This contest will run through December 25th, Christmas day, so get your entries in, be creative and have some fun!


This figure is about 5” tall and is completely hand cast and painted by Brian. Like mentioned above, this first run will consist of 13 pieces, the first of which will go to the winner of this contest. These are going to be available for pre-order on December 26th after the contest at Devils-Holiday.com for $38 shipped. For more pictures of this awesome piece, as well as other customs and up to date info, you can follow Brian on Flickr and Twitter.

"Missing Peace" by RubyRed on TeeFury



RubyRed says "I guess it's a naive commentary on the conflicts the world is facing today. You sometimes wish there was a really simple solution to the various global problems. Whoever holds the missing peace, can they please hand it over?" TeeFury is an awesome website that sells T-shirts for $9 a pop...the only catch is that it is only on sale for 24hours and then the next T-shirt is posted up! I have seen awesome shirts by some amazing artists on here and the total purchase price is $11. So that is $9 for the Tee and $2 for the shipping...that is an awesome deal that can't be beat! I will try and post the shirts up daily, or you can go visit the site yourself!

Money does go back to the artist and after today, this t-shirt will be Gone FOREVER! Today artist earns $1 for every tee sold. So make sure you get over there if yer diggin the design!
