"The Child Ent Munny" by Kevin Gosselin


Kevin Gosselin is relatively new to making customs, and to the vinyl scene in general. He was a graphic designer for 9 years up until September when he decided to pursue fine art. His brother was the one who pushed him in the right direction where he finally entered a piece into the KidRobot MunnyWorld contest, and he took one of the spots with his piece titled "The Dunny Eater" (check it HERE) he also just finished a recent commission piece titled the "Dunny-Mounted Labbit"(check it HERE). Now he is just trying to find his style and build his skills.

This last piece titled "The Child Ent Munny" (posted above) is the second Ent he has made. He had some time over the holidays and decided to revisit the Ent theme. It was made using a polymer clay and floral wire for the bonsai. The piece took about a week to make but was in part due to redoing the face and the tree. He had originally done a much older looking face, and had a much busier tree. This seriously is so sick and keep your eyes on Kevin, because he is on FIRE! This piece is available for purchase HERE for only $125... so go snag it up!

Medic Dropcloth by ThreeA Toys


Posted up on the ThreeA Toys production blog is this amazing picture of their upcoming release, the Medic Dropcloth! This figure is set to release very soon in the near future, no set date yet, but the teases (sans decals) makes me think they are close to a release date. I am really diggin each new figure that comes from this team, I just wish I had the disposable income to start collecting them, oh well, once again i will live vicariously through all of you fortunate beings :-)

"Barkley" custom Marshall from Troy Stith



Troy Stith is keeping the custom machine well oiled in his neck of the woods and this time around his newest custom is titled "Barkley". This is the first of two collabo customs he is doing with the toy shop Dragatomi. As we have seen in the recent past from Troy he has been taking the nature path these past few customs, but he wanted to keep with the character feel that the Marshall toys have... and that he did. i love all the little details added to this piece like the stone drawings in the cave and the little armpit hairs/twigs, great stuff! Troy says that he is working on the second custom now and it should be debuting soon.You can see more pics of "Barkley" up on Troy's Flickr HERE!

Audrey Kawasaki’s Next Time Limited Print


Once again Audrey Kawasaki is offering a chance for fans to vote for the next time limited art print. In short, those that have a Livejournal account can vote for the print. However, Ms. Kawasaki will take non-LJ user comments as a form of voting. If you all recall last year, ‘Two Sisters‘ was the selected print. This year, from the above selections, I’m hoping for the youkai related print, ‘Hyakki Yakou‘ or ‘Mezamer mae ni‘ to be the winning time limited print. The selected print will be up for grabs in exactly one hour sometime mid January. For those that wanna participate in determining the next time sensitive print, cast your vote or leave your comment HERE.

"Whale" by Jillian Nickell on TeeFury



WOW, what a cool design... I could not see this one on my chest, but I am sure a ton will love it... and thinking about it more now why haven't we turned whales into boats? 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!
