"When Hell Freezes Over" Cranston Fellows Jr. show @ MyPlasticHeart sneak peek...

For the most part the "When Hell Freezes Over" Cranston Fellows Jr. show at MyPlasticHeart, and all of the entries into it are under tight wraps by the MPH crew, but I was able to do some digging and came across this really nice looking toosh, and for those not familiar with the painting style this is a Leecifer custom :-) Funny how you can tell just by looking at a rear end who done it... So many more entries are out there waiting for our ever wandering eyes to burn holes into the computer screens, but alas we have to wait until January 8th for the opening night to see all the great Cranston customs!

"El Cerdo de Pihuamo" from Walter Jacott

Walter Jacott just finished up an awesome custom Kalua Moola for the Argonaut Resin, Lord Mesa collab. "El Cerdo de Pihuamo" or as it translates "The Pig of Pihuamo" where Pihuamo is a town in Mexico, Walter wanted to do just paint and no sculpted parts (just the leg chain and ball) and the small band-aid on the head, also he changed the original coin for a Mexican one. Walter said that he wanted to preserve the original concept a pig in a fight, but with a little twist... he's in jail because he loves trouble. This is a really great representation of the figure and just like all the piece Walter works on he hits home-runs!

Baker Ninja plush from Shawnimals!

Shawnimals continues its ongoing plush Ninja insanity with Baker Ninja, the first of 12 all-new Ninjas created for its Ninja of the Month project! This Baker Ninja variant is in his casual weekend gear, when he makes snacks for his friends, and, in general, kicks back. Still has to sport the radical fireball though...

Working deep in the maze of caverns under Mt. Feroshi, the Baker Ninjas not only have the unique skill to craft the secret Ninja Star Cookies, they can also withstand the deadly heat and toxic fumes. They wear special quilted, anti-lava Ninja robes, an inch-thick visor, and a fancy apron, too. When not making cookies they enjoy time by cooking tofu burgers for his Ninja pals.

Motto:
“I bake cookies... so what?”

When you order this product you get…
•A handmade 7″ × 7″ plush Ninja
•Signed and numbered fancy hang tag
•Fun accessories
•A character stickers
•A character button

Baker Ninja will be available Wednesday January 6th at 1pm CST. Fans can also purchase more Ninja of the Month merchandise like stickers, buttons, a poster and more (coming soon), including a full Ninja of the Month SUBSCRIPTION, right over on the Shawnimals shop.

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #29

Stefan is a super talented artist, and a super cool guy to boot! You can now follow all of his updates via his Twitter profile HERE, not on Twitter yet? Get a move on!

From Stefan's Blog:

Now, let's talk about Monster 29. He seems uniquely evolved for certain tasks, foods, and/or environments. Do you have any theories as to what they might be? Also, what's with the 70s dress code? Are those lifts he's wearing? What is this guy's story? How old is he? (How old does he think he is?) Where is he from? What does he do for a living? Where does he vacation? I'm hoping you'll tell me. Until then, have a lovely, relaxing Sunday, and please remember that 344 LOVES YOU!

"Shawarma Initiativ"e by Monkey X on TeeFury

LOST parodies never get old... one more month until the final season! 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!
