Scott Tolleson's "Otis and Otto" vinyl figures are back, and are craving your undivided attention! This two figure set is going to retail for around $25 and is limited to only 150 pieces. These little 2.5" vinyl figures found themselves a new friend as model
Linda Le shows off their awesome argyle sweaters, and keen glasses! The purple/orange version will only be available at
Designer-Con which is slated for November 20th, 2010 at the Pasadena Convention Center, so start planing on finding a mule if you can't make it. Along with the figures, there will be a very limited run of prints on hand, and will be given to the first customers.

Earlier last month we posted up a preview of Indonesian artist
ARKIV VILMANSA solo show titled "Riding Curves" which featured amazingly curvatious, character driven, art pieces not only in the 2D realm with traditional canvas paintings, but also in the 3D realm with sculptures and art toys. The event went off without a hitch and above you can see some of the select photos from the opening night! The show had some new works from Arkiv that as you can see surely take your breath away, the vivid colors and fluid lines are so memorizing. This will be on display until November 19th, so be sure to stop by the
Vivi Yip Art Room if your in or around the area! For more pictures hit the jump for a slide show.

Artist and KR forum member
ClarkR recently took pics of his latest custom dunny "
DayDreamer", which is based on the popular
mini-munny of the same name, and I just love it! The clear head and miniature dunny inside are a unique idea, and this is just a great concept with clean execution. Clark is making 20 of these, but half of them are already spoken for so don't sleep on this awesome custom! They are $80 each and can be pre-ordered by contacting Clark
here. Also check out Clark's
flickr for more photos.

Local San Diegan, and friend of SS.com, Ephraim M. has just sent over pictures of his newest commission which was completed by the dynamic art duo Eric and Laura, better known as
64 Colors. Appreciated for their amazing artistic talent and their cute world or whimsical characters, they completely painted this 10" MAD*l from head to toe, transforming it into a magical scene that houses a grip of cutesy characters. Ephraim says that "
My wife and I loved the 64 Colors Chubby Books when they came out last year, the Marshall's were also one of our favorite toys, and the MAD*l being one our favorite platforms for artists, we figured it would be a good combination."... that it was, and congrats on such a nice piece. If you all want to see this in person it will be on display at the
Gunnzo booth during Designer Con, so stop by and have a look.

Sculptor
Nemo has been on somewhat of a Tiki kick as we first saw his
Tiki Rollie, then his
Tiki Bic Buddy, as well as his
Tiki Marshalls, and now he has taken it to a whole new level... carving Tiki's out of Balsa Foam, which Nemo says is used in the model industry for prototyping and is very lightweight and durable when painted! The crazy thing about carving as opposed to sculpting is that it's not very forgiving so if you mess up on a part of the figure it could mean disaster!
Nemo says that the first one he created as a donation for AMF... which stands for the
Association Mattia Fagnoni. the second piece is going to be up for grabs via the
Tenacious Toys online store, and is going to retail for $80... amazing good deal for an OG sculpt! Stay tuned for more one-off's from Nemo as he has some HUGE plans in the near future!
