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.
Erick Scarecrow continues to roll out the releases and today we are getting a peek at his 'September Secret Release' which comes in the form of a beautiful new "Mama Sama Iro Korudo". This is the 3rd colorway in the Mama Sama collection and this sleek figure stands 6" tall, is cast in crystal clear resin, and comes with a removable spear. if you like it, you best act fast because being only limited to 10 pieces worldwide, they are bound to go quick! Each figure comes signed, numbered and packed by Erick artist and when it goes live it will retail for $250! Now I say goes live because this is not up for grabs just yet, but if you want to be the first to know when it does, be sure to follow ESC Toys on Twitter HERE!Oh, and be on the lookout for NYCC news from Erick very soon!

If only I moved my Alaska fishing trip a few months later I would have been up in 'God's Country" for Sket-One's upcoming "Braaap!" Exhibition which is being hosted by the University of Alaska in Anchorage at the KIMURA Gallery! It's such a rare opportunity for that part of the world to be exposed to the designer toy culture, let alone have one of the artists at the forefront of the scene visit and do a lectures for those students, making this an event not to be missed!
Opening on Monday, October 3rd 2011, this show/lecture will be a retrospective of Sket's work and on display as well are a bunch of new pieces including canvases and customs! Check out the above video teaser to get a glimpse of what to expect, and for more info on this event be sure to hit up Sket's Facebook page HERE, and if you are in the Anchorage area... don't miss this!
Remember those really cool functional art pieces by Angry Woebots and J★RYU titled "Rucky BamBoo"... well artist Luke Chueh just posted up a quick sketch as a spin off from this piece and states "Sketch for a bamboo pot (complete with urinating panda) inspired by Woebots “Rucky Bamboo”. To be produced by freshMANILLA (I think)" Details still seem like they are being worked out, but if that statement actually comes to fruition, and these get made... that would be awesome, hahaha! More news on this once it's released!
First spotted in prototype form HERE, Jon-Paul Kaiser teamed up with Toy2R on a brand new venture, to take the 5" Mini-Qee platform and completly rework it into an amazing new figure... and today we have the first look at JPK's "Captain Sturnbrau" silver/black 'Pieces of Eight’ edition! This stoic fella will be extremely limited and will debut during NYCC at the Toy2R / Tenacious Toys booth #876... and as a bonus, JPK will also be making his way across 'the pond' and will be signing at the booth on Saturday, Oct 15th at high noon! I love pirates, I love JPK... this is a win/win in my book!
A quick little update from Dai Tran aka DaiBot, the man behind the upcoming resin "Bitsumo" figure... and it's an exciting one as he tells us that the first run of resin figures will drop this year at NYCC 2011 via his booth #579 in the Cultyard. These will be available in two versions, "Original" and "Dark" and are all 100% hand cast in resin by lead toy maker at Mcfarlane Toys, Mike Gulen! These sand just 4" tall but pack quite a punch with 7 articulated parts and hand tied Mawashis! Pricing and quantity are still TBD, but I am really excited for this release... how say you?!?!?!
Jon from Rampage Toys is loving having his own vinyl figure, and most recently had a batch of clear vinyl "Ugly Unicorns" pulled, which in turn started the crative juices flowing, and as you can see from the above picture, he is working on a series of 'Clears with Guts'!!! This will probably make its debut in January of 2012, but you can look forward to seeing some clear painted versions for NYCC 2011!
It's been quite some time since we have heard or seen any new pieces from customizer Gabriel R. aka Nerviswr3k... but today we are sharing with you today a ton of customs he recently completed for the upcoming NYCC 2011 convention! This new batch of monsters will released via the Tenacious Toys booth... all of which are based on the Mini-Qee platform... yup these are small, and look at all that detail! One piece that really stands out is that awesome diorama... a compelling full scene, jam packed with circuit boards and fear... rally great stuff! If you have not seen his work in person, and you are going to NYCC... you are in for a treat!
