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.
So have you been on the fence about buying some custom toys as of late, and just can't decide... well that is what I am here for to help nudge you in the right direction, and The Ganametal Celsius Custom Show that went down at Toy Art Gallery on 7/10/2010 has all the goods you need! Take for instance the two customs above from KingQuan and OsirisOrion... two different styles, yet two rockin customs. You can view others over HERE now...
Hi-Fructose just announced and revealed their exclusive SDCC Jeff Soto x Bigshot Toyworks "The Seeker" figure, and HOLY SMOKES it's beautiful! The light frosting gradating to clear is and awesome sight and the gold eyes/antlers just polish this figure off... unreal! This is the first piece of vinyl I will be biting and scratchin for during the con. This is an edition of 100 pieces and only 50 will be a the con... pricing is still up in the air, but will be announced soon! This will be up for grabs via the Hi-Fructose booth #4939 on Friday, and Jeff will actually be there in person, so stop by, grab one and say hi.
Jeremiah Ketner has been keeping himself very busy lately, and it seems as though all artists have been doing the same thing he has been... gearing up for SDCC, and as luck would have it Jeremiah is actually packing up his stuff and making the long trek out to San Diego for the first time and will have a handful of custom toys on display and for sale at Dragatomi's booth #3848! He will also be on hand Saturday the 24th at 4pm for a meet/greet/signing .
So not only has Jeremiah been busy with prepping for SDCC, but he also has had a few of his rad painting made into a limited edition of prints. "Can we watch the Stars" and "Between Falls" are available for pre-order right now HERE, and the edition size for each print is only 30, so take advantage of the pre-sale now if you want a low number. Both prints are printed on Archival fine art paper.
What an impressive piece of work... and as of recently what piece of work that DrilOne makes is not impressive, I mean this guy is totally killin it!!! Dril has been prepping for a few months now for SDCC, and with his latest piece, my jaw is agape! He took the once beautiful Fatima figure, originally designed by Sam Flores, and did his own beautification on it adding the DrilOne touch with rivets, rust, and warfare... shoot he even installed a red LED light underneath the skirt... amazing. This piece titled "U.S. FIM06 - Iron Maiden" will be featured and up for sale at Dragatomi's booth #3848 during SDCC next week!
So tell me... do you lack that artist skill that alot of us wish we had, but still have an amazing urge to create something cool... well Formula Werks has got you covered as they have teamed up with Shawnimals to bring you the "Build Your Own Ninjatown" T-shirts. There are four new tees ready for you to decide the color of each shirt and graphic... customize it and make it your own! These are now available for both men and women in more color combination's than you can count.
I just got wind of this thanks to Steve Brown, and I would have to agree with what he said "I don't know if Play Imaginative is actually going to use this packaging or not, but it's DOPE AS HELL! Best blind box packaging I've ever seen". This was designed by artist Victor Fong as a student project and the design behind the new packaging really lends well to the actual concept behind the Trexi figure as not only does the box spin around allowing the buyer to have some fun, mixing and matching bodies with faces, but once you open the figure... you get to do the same thing with the Trexi. Great idea, and it would be cool to see if this came to fruition or not!
Keliens will make their invasion once again this year at SDCC... except this time around they are bigger and badder than ever! These figures will be available at two booths, the first is October Toys booth #4838, and the next will be at Dragatomi's booth #3848. Each booth will have a small run of figures, some painted, some DIY, and some prototypes, so make sure to make your way to both to see all the goods!
ARTDENKA, toy group for Japan, is going to be represented at this years SDCC via DKE's booth, who will be showcasing their new figures titled "HELL-O-BASTARDS!". There are 4 different types of creatures ranging in size from 2"- 3" mini devils which are: Slimy Germy (green slime), Slasher Eddie (red devil that is sitting on a lot of skulls), HeLLena (black skull with maggot brain), and Tiki Zombie (blue Tiki).

"Grumble Buns" is artist and designer Steff Bombs latest plush creation, and just looking at these makes me hungry! Each one will retail HERE for $25 each, and they stand about 4" tall by 5" across, and each Grumble Buns comes with a free “I Am A Grade-A Grumble Buns” patch! More food plush please :-)
Avatar666 shares with us once again another amazing customs Tequila... and this time he used the character "Machete" for inspiration, and more specifically he based it on the character versions played by Danny Trejo which will hit movie theaters soon. This was a commission for a Mexican collector, or should I say a lucky collector :-) and wow did it turn out awesome!
Next up is a custom mini-Munny of a character based on Avatar666 own creation. He did this as a gift for a friend that has showed support over the years. This lil guy is a little wrestler named "El Torito", and just like all the work from Avatar, this looks super detailed and well put together, and how can you go wrong with Lucha?
"Whatup Gangstars" just posted up their 11th episode featuring a great little look into the world punk rock/hard core... which Jay tries to define along his journey throughout the video blog! This episode, just like the others, is produced by artists 123Klan, and it revolves around the whole music scene... all of this while being interviewed and entertained by puppet Jay. The production quality of all episodes are top notch, so sit back and enjoy, it's an awesome watch!
