Tonight, Thursday November 17th saw the opening of
Blamo Toy's Third Annual Custom Group Show, "
The Epic Adventures of Swampy McSwamperton," and as the title suggests this years show was a truly "epic" event!! As with previous years 30 select artists were given a wooden Blamo DIY figure to work on and as usual the results have been jaw dropping. From detailed re-configurations of shape and form to simple but stylized paint applications these 30 custom Swampys represent a truly diverse cross section of toy makers, fashion designers, traditional, and mixed media artists.
Blamo Toys is excited to reveal this show preview that contains 20+ of the unique customs from the show. The remaining figures will be revealed over the next week as they continue to arrive at Blamo Toys. I know most of us were unable to make the show... but you can still get first dibs on any of these incredible custom figures by visiting
Blamotoys.com ... some great customs to be had! For more pictures be sure to hit the jump!

As you read this there are only 67 hours left to go for the awesomely altruistic humanitarian art trip called the "Little Lotus Project"! The four participating US artists (Ritzy Periwinkle, Angry Woebots, J★RYU, and Daniel Zana) have created a Kickstarter page designed to help raise the funds needed in order to pay for the costs of this trip along with the necessary costs to help Daniel Zana, the creator of the movie "The Vinyl Frontier", to film this trip, and amazing experience as his followup movie. Every artist will need to raise and pay for all expenses so your support would be greatly appreciated in any way.
This is almost 80% funded, and if you have already looked before...
YOU HAVE TO VISIT AGAIN, because they have added a TON more incentives at all price points including original pieces of art from:
RSIN, Drilone, Switch, Matt Curran, Jen E & Ritzy P Supreme Goods, Skinner, Argonaut Resins, Jeremiah Ketner, Lou Pimentel, Jay222, Podgypanda, Alex Pardee, SpankyStokes, Chris Ryniak, and
many others!!! This is for such a great cause, and any support you all can give would be greatly appreciated, so head on over HERE now and pledge if you can!
