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.
Artist:Breeanzz Platform: Celsius Medium: Acrylics, sculpting medium, found objects, and one large axe!
Indonesian artist Breeanzz really shows us his artistic skills with his submission for the upcoming Ganmetall Celsius custom show. This piece, titled "Black Knight", turned out fantastic and I am sure that the pictures don't do this piece justice. Just by looking closly at it there is a ton of detail work done on the armor and even on the skull, and how can you go wrong with all black, smokin hot! Come on out to see this piece in person at T.A.G aka Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles on July 10th, 2010 for the Ganmetall Celsius Show!
This just in from Jesse Hernandez as he shares with us the glow power behind his GID prototype of his “MICTLAN” figure! Jesse says that this far exceeded his expectations in the glow department and with the help of Kuso Vinyl they pushed this to the max. This will be on display during SDCC 2010 as well as other surprises... which will all be revealed very shortly!

And the Circus Posterous train keeps on chuggin along with announcements for their SDCC 2010 lineup... and this time around they are really showing off the many flavors of Skelve! Kathie Olivas flexes her custom muscle as she reveals her exclusive "Masao" Skelve Series which this time around will be only 3o pieces... and unlike the regular Skelve, these sport some great looking kitty ears, hence the "Masao" title :-) Also to be on the lookout for are the really cool mini-Skelve one-off's, pictured to the right with that beautifully large "Masao". These will be released via the Super7 booth #4729 and will retail for $250 a pop... no word on the price for the small one-off's yet but I assume we will be informed of all the details soon!
The teasers keep coming, well not really as we have pretty much seen all the parts of Mike Sutfin's amazing vinyl figure, and SDCC2010 exclusive Mad Battle Man "Dusk" edition.Reckless Toys has done such a great job producing this top notch figure along with the guys over at Bigshot Toyworks. The top part of this figure looks just as great as the other puzzle pieces we have seen posted earlier, all the details are there and this "Dusk" colorway is looking so sweet. The subtle autumn shads that cover this figure are super appealing, making this one of the top sought after pieces for this years con!
Wow... this may be the one and only Ledbetter piece I may actually go after... Vinyl Pulse just posted up some great pictures (which I quickly snatched up) of Joe Ledbetter's upcoming vinyl figure set titled "Pico and Wilshire"... the Sabertooth Cat and the Wooly Mammoth. This is going to be another collab piece with the folks over at The Loyal Subjects, who have been helping produce alot of Joe's latest products! Now get this, Wilshire stands a whopping 12" tall and Pico is about 6", making for a nice collection piece for sure. This is the regular edition and is limited to 415 pieces worldwide and is going to be up for pre-order on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 retailing between $155 - $160. This should hit store shelves mid fall... I cant wait to see the other colorways as this is a really great looking piece of vinyl!
German artist VISEone has been totally slaying it lately with his "Comic Stripped" series, and for his latest and greatest custom vinyl, he chose to attack the MAD*l platform. Using the classic Fantastic Four comic book for his inspiration and specifically the character Human Torch he turned this 5" vinyl figure into a 3D comic narrative using sculpting Milliput, a Collage Technique, actual Marvel Comics, Acrylic Paint, and some serious Brushwork... the end result speaks for itself...AMAZING!!!
Rivet Gallery is hosting yet again another fantastic group art show this time around featuring new works from Brent Nolasco, Jeremy Nichols, and Revise CMW . All three artists have very similar dreamy/dreary artists styles, making this three-man show one not to be missed. Check out Brent's piece titled "Yesterday" below... this is a mish-mash of so many different mediums, but when all brought together really form a great looking piece that reflects Brent's style! Be there for the opening this Saturday, July 3rd 2010!
[Press from Shawnimals site] Little known fact: Mountain Ninjas descend the great Mt. Feroshi in the Summertime as a sort of a vacation! They also lose the furry hat, and supposedly shed at least a bit of their beardiness. This awesome looking plush is going to be available HERE on Wednesday July 7th at 1pm CDT!
From the tag: "Summer! It gives this otherwise reclusive mountain dweller a chance to unwind at a relatively lower altitude. What past time, you ask? Rock climbing, of course. And Gort tossing—but only after he has had one too many Ninjatown Cherry Ales."
Motto: "I’m just fine by myself, thanks!"
When you order this $30 product you get...
A handmade 7" × 7" plush Ninja limited to 100 pcs.
Signed and numbered fancy hang tag
Fun accessories – Rock climbing gear and a pick axe!
A character sticker
A character button

We have seen designer toys make the jump into the speaker realm before, first with Marka27's Mini-Gods, then Headphonies burst onto the scene a few years back, and now new to the designer toy speaker market is SkullyBoom. These portable speaker systems do not only look cool, but have some serious punch behind such little speakers, and they also come equipped with a very durable belt clip along with a sturdy casing ready to take on all that you throw at it. These retail for $49.99 a pop, come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, audio cable, different eye plates, and can be picked up via the SkullyBoom store HERE, and if you act now, the next shipment is on it's way in and you can get a pre-order discount which is valid through July 1st only using discount code "lovepopsicles" for $10 off! Take a minute and watch the above video review as I will walk you through the packaging, the accessories, as well as give you a taste of the sound quality, and in the end let you know if it's worth while to pick one of these up for yourself!
Artist:SouthernDrawl Platform: Celsius Medium: Acrylics, sculpting medium, rivets, found objects...WOW!
I mean... is anyone else floored with the amazing customs that are showing up for this show, or am I the only one. They keep on flowing in and this time around we are treated with the above visual masterpiece by SouthernDrawl. I am really taken back by the time and effort that was put forth into this custom, or for all the custom in this show for that matter. Southern really outdid himself on this piece, adding some amazing sculpted parts transforming the once Celsius figure into what he is calling the "Tengu of Iron Mountain". I really love the use of the wings, and how they are attached to the hands, the added staff, and even the rad Geta's. A top notch custom once again dude, your talent never ceases to amaze me! Come on out to see this piece in person at T.A.G aka Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles on July 10th, 2010 for the Ganmetall Celsius Show!
Artist:Tyler Coey Platform: Celsius Medium: Acrylics, duck blood, and some serious attention to detail!
Okay, i lied about the whole duck blood thing, but you believed me for a sec I bet :-) Tyler Coey wows us all once again with his submission for the upcoming custom Celsius show that is going down at T.A.G aka Toy Art Gallery in Los Angeles on July 10th, 2010. For his piece Tyler states that "I decided to keep the sculpy in the drawer and use the actual shape. I let the paint do the work and experimented heavily with washes to achieve a good faux patina." ... I will just add that Tyler's talent really shows through on this piece, I can stare at it forever and each minute that passes I see something new I did not see before. The detailing is top notch and I love the fact that he revisited his "killbot" theme from a custom he did last year! Great job man... seriously killer! Come on out to see this piece in person at T.A.G on July 10th, 2010!
