This website is about any and everything that sparks the creative genius in all of us. By profession I am a Graphic Designer, and enjoy all aspects of design. From traditional to urban from resin to vinyl, these are all great mediums and deserve to be explored. On top of that everything from music to movies from guns to graffiti.
The "I Like To Eat" show at Dragatomi is going down tomorrow March 13th, 2010 and it is going to feature a whole new slew of customs from Motorbot, who has clearly outdone himself... these pieces are FANTASTIC! There is going to be around 14 x 5" labbits, 2 x 10" labbits, and 10 x mini labbits... and above is just a preview of what you will expect to see! Most are reasonably priced, and the smaller ones are going to retail for around $15 -$20 so everyone that goes to the show can take something home with them! This is going to be a fantastic show and Dragatomi, as always, will be a gracious host, so mark your calendars for March 13th, 2010... it is going to be a great time!

I just received a anonymous email from "FREeAGENTZ" stating that there are some free art pieces out on the streets of NYC... and it is up to you to Find em\' Steal em\' Keep em\'!!! My hunch tells me that artists Phetus and Mr.Den have been up to no good... but I will leave the final verdict up to you all :-) Hit the Flickr site HERE to see if you recognize any of the locations!

Super7 is letting loose the latest Monster Family toy from Le Merde titled "Hollis Price"(left), which is the clear pink edition, this Saturday, March 13, 2010 as well as an unpictured Gargamel Bakobasso, Gachamecha, and Smogun! Also to note, Le Merde's "Le Turd" figure (right) is going to release next Saturday March 20th. This figure is a 2 part vinyl figure cast in "rainy day" blue vinyl and was originally released at ThrashOut in Japan for Le Merde's show "Severed for Life". No word on time of release or price, but they usually drop around 11am PST!
I was just recently introduced to James Groman's work by his fellow Cleveland'ian Chris Ryniak, and was blow away by his work... and low and behold he has a new resin figure he is offering up for pre-order right now! He is taking advance orders for his fantastic "Zombot Ghoul" resin model kit. This figure stands a menacing 22" tall and is composed of 9 pieces which also comes with a 6" long laser rifle, circular base and nameplate, and 3 vinyl hoses to match his original Zombot Ghoul illustration (left). I am completely floored by the detail work in the piece and anyone who is a fan of zombies has got to LOVE this! The pre-order price is $200, with $25 for shipping and handling, and you can get it HERE. Keep on the lookout for more work from James as well, this guy has some serious talent...
I was just up at Chuckwa in Fullerton (2453 E Chapman Ave, Fullerton CA 92831) and they have some of Amanda Visell's Tic Toc Apocalypse mini figures on sale right now for $12 each (in store only)!!! Now if you remember these will "officially" go on sale April 1st, but if you want to get your hands on them now, and are in, or near the Los Angeles area... go pick some up!
Artist James yeah?, must be getting kicked in the rump as of late, because he has been pushing out new customs left and right. Sorry I just had to :-) These figures were created from the skull thingies off the ILOVEDUST 8" Dunny... which James created "Kick" and "Push" the dead kitties from. I am really liking the style of the most recent customs James has made, all having the awesomely simple, yet effective paint scheme to them! These SOLD fast as well, so keep your eye on James' Flickr for more customs to come!
Recently posted HERE was the teaser of ThreeA's "Little Shadow" 1:6 scale female articulated figure, and now they just revealed the figure in a somewhat blurry picture. This character reins from the "Adventure Kartel" not from any comics, or books, but made specifically for toy consumption... with maybe a novel written later??? This is set to release on Friday, March 19th, 2010 at 8:59AM HKT at Bambalandstore.com for $80, which like all their releases includes the shipping! The figure looks really cool, and I think all the amazing accessories that come with these figures are dope, and what we can tell so far from the picture is that this one comes with a nice messengers bag.
Brent Nolasco just sent over some sweet pictures of his latest custom for the "5 Eyed Dragon Show" at Dragatomi on April 10th. This piece, although it may look unfinished, that is the intention, and Brent's focus this year with his customs is going to be on the form! Brent says "Adding paint might take away from the piece, and this year I'm going to keep some customs with out paint. So you can focus more on the fusions of all the platforms and the concept behind the customs." I think that is a great idea and I have felt that way about alot of pieces in the past not just from Brent but other artists (including my own work) that show off their pieces all primed, without paint, they look amazing and then after adding paint something is lost.
The title of this pieces is "Concept Study No.01", and is a mesh of many vinyl pieces including, but not limited to Craola, Eaton, Mindstyle, and also included in the mix is found objects, Aves Sculpt, plastic, and prime... and what a mash up of pure awesomeness!
So ... after our last post HERE, we were unsure of the release of this figure but now have all the details! Chris Ryniak's "Aqua Moot" produced by Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi is set to drop today, 3/12/2010 through Rotofugi at 2PM CST, and is going to set you back only $60! This figure, like the rest of his Muscamoot's stands 6.5” tall and has accents of blue/black on top of a GID body... this will fly off the online store shelves, so get there and ready your F5 button!
Artist DrilOne completed a new custom for his upcoming group show at Dragatomi titled "5-Eyed Dragon" which is going down on April 10, 2010, feature the works of 5 amazing customizers! Dril did a little stop motion video to show a little of the process how he created his customs. Artists... please do this more often, it is an absolute joy to watch :-) I love all the little details like the rust spots, the sanding/roughing up, decals, rivets, sweet work man!
