It seems as though you can't turn to then next website without seeing Hello Kitty as that brand has made such a huge impact on our culture today... and just like all those who have been inspired, artist
JCRivera took his inspiration and turned it into a cool custom which is part of his ongoing exploration of art he is calling his "bear-like" series of paintings and customs. The simplicity of this sculpt is really grabbing and I love the facial expression along with the cig hanging out the mouth. You can see the rest of this series via JC's site
HERE, which is packed full of paintings, digital work, original figures and customs!

It's always such a treat when an artist shares with us progress shots of what they are working on, and the is exactly what German artist
Dust did a while back (
posted HERE) with the 3 new, now completed, customs which are set to release exclusively through
The Dirty Cream website. I continually am amazed with the amount of detail that Dust puts into each one of his pieces. Working on 3 different platforms the Fakir/Labin QBIQ titled "
The Keeper", Artoys Elements/Sky titled "
Infected Master of the Puppets", and a GID Munny titled "
The Light Scout Unit" these all look so dope... and keep those eyes peeled on
The Dirty Cream as these are going to drop very soon! For more pictures visit Dust's Flickr
