I am seriously taken back by the pure awesomeness that is this custom Paw by
Hugh Rose... and who is this guy to come in and totally slay every platform he touches :-) Hugh does some great work and before our last post of his custom
BigSal we just saw him tackle Munny's... and now this amazing piece of work just shows that when someone has talent it translates into everything! Hugh states that this platform was "
A real pleasure to work with. Very difficult to paint though as there are loads of hard-to-reach areas... in between the fingers, underneath the hind legs. Nightmare." The lines are stupid clean and the color pallet just works so well... keep your eyes on this guy folks, big things coming!

I was contacted a lil while ago by an artist that goes by the name of
Chris.o.saur and he sent over some awesome looking customs for me to check out and I was instantly attracted to his style! One of the customs was the above MAD*l titled Braisen v2.0... where v1.0 was a Dunny that he created for one of the many KR board Dunny trades. This custom was created as a commission for a fan that enjoyed the work on the Dunny and the rest is history... great job man! For more pics and info on this piece and others visit his site

Coming to us from lifestyle brand
TSURT is this rad vinyl figure set titled "
Don’t Make Me Happy" which features the 4 figures above in series 1! The form of this character takes their mascot, somewhat of a t-shirt with feet/arms/no-head, and give it a little personality through 3D and design!
For the first series they have teamed up with
Munk One,
That’s Arnold,
Brandon Heart, and
Maxx242 (left to right). All the designs from these artists look really dope and it's a great way to promote your company! These are due out this November so be sure to keep a look out for updates!

Today we were sent over some images of some really cool customs that artist
Attila recently completed which are now available in his online store
HERE. He says that in all three customs he started out with super sculpy and then worked in some liquid latex acrylics over top. The designs of "
Reduckulous", "
Bucky", and "
Tusks McGee" were all created mostly based on sketches or doodles Attila has done in the past. The characters are really cool looking and my eye is really drawn to the "Bucky" custom... great use of the platform for sure! For more information on the artist, be sure to visit his site
HERE as well as his webstore
