You may recall our post
HERE last month showcasing those awesome 1-off custom sculptures/custom vinyl pieces from artist
Jason Limon... well he's at it again and is set to drop all those awesome pieces that you see above, plus many, many more awesome pieces in his online store
HERE starting right now... so if you see something you like, go grab it! These pieces are seriously stunning, and I just love the production like quality that Jason is able to pull off! One thing I have noticed from Jason over the past few months is his transition for 2D to 3D objects... and in all honesty, I am not mad at him for doing this :-) Killer work all around, from sculpture to paint... this is the entire package, wrapped with a big shiny bow!

We have been posting up all kinds of pictures of
Play Imaginative's
Mickey Mouse custom showcase, and we just got another submission in... this one comes to us from Brazilian based artist
TazX as he continues to perfect his rusty, rivet filled figures... this go around on a rad Mickey Mouse figure! One thing I like about this custom is the use of so many textures and colors, really making it appear to be metal... one of TazX's best customs to date.

From March 1st to April 1st at
Orbital Comics Gallery there is a group art show called "Stripped: An Exhibition Celebrating the Comic Book Medium" going on. All the pieces have to be in the shape of a traditional post card and — in some manner — be reverential of comics. The list of artists submitting is impressive and includes one of our favorites: Triclops Studio, who were nice enough to give a peak at a submission they did:
"Stripped" runs from March 1st until April 1st at
Orbital Comics Gallery, 8 Great Newport Street, London WC2H 7JA, England. If you happen to be in the London area, swing on by and check it out!

Who doesn't love
Jason Freeny's adorable "Moof," the square shaped kitty that melts hearts everywhere? Well, now you might have a chance to get one… Freeny has had 25 of these mini-wonders (approx. 2" square not counting tail) cast in resin, which he is currently doing some finishing work to. These "Moofs" will come signed and numbered for the low, low price of $50 each… They are slated to be
Jailbreak Collective exclusives which will drop in a week or two. Keep your eyes peeled!

One Qee after another... and why not?!?! UK based artist
Run DMB just sent over some news on a recent custom Mini Qee he just completed and similar to the rest of his chaotic goodness that we see on the majority of his customs, this little guy is packed with oh so many shapes and colors... another home run for sure!

You heard it right folks, Erick from
ESC Toys has teamed up with the folks over at
Frombies to release a special crossover project. Now all that we can see/know right now is that it appears to be a print... a very bloody one at that, but I am curious to see if these two commanding forces have any figures in the works. More will be revealed hopefully soon, and do know that whatever is in store will be available at WonderCon 2012.

Most people in this industry will tell you that
Monster Kolor is the bomb, top of the line, gold seal standard, whatever phrase you want to use… and they are right. And while they are known for their airbrush paints, they have offered
aerosol (spray can) versions for quite a while now. But now it is time to evolve… and offer
Brushable Monster Kolor paints. All the "wow" of normal Monster Kolors with the control of being able to hand-brush it on. These are solvent-based paints that dry quickly and leave no brush marks. What amazing bright colors are available? Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Purple and — of course — black, white, and clear gloss coat (which is what
really makes them colors pop).
At only $6.50 for a 1/2oz. jar, how can you go wrong? Head on over and
buy one now!

Is that a bisected Bellicose Bunny? It is, which means this must be another teaser from the upcoming "
Bellicosity" group custom show
Nathan Hamill is putting together. This WIP pic from
valleyDweller was posted with the tagline "Portalcose Bunny? Bellicose Portal?" so I'm guessing those two discs are part of the custom & are the portals in question. Could he be doing a bunny flying through a portal… half in one side, half out the other? That would be amazing. Can't wait to see the final result! The list of known artists in the show currently is:
A Little Stranger, Carson Catlin, Chauskoskis, Cris Rose, Jon Paul Kaiser, Luke Chueh, Mikie Graham, OsirisOrion, Plaseebo, Rsin, and our own
John "Spanky" Stokes.
"
Bellicosity: The Bellicose Bunny Group Custom Show" will open on March 23rd and run through April 6th at the
Toy Art Gallery (TAG), 7571 Melrose Ave. (corner of Melrose & Curson) Los Angeles, CA, 90046.

There will be a
Rampage Toys exhibition at Studio
UAMOU in Tokyo from March 22nd to April 3rd. Hmm, I didn't sell that enough?… Huh… How's this:
RAMPAGE TOYS! STUDIO UAMOU! TOGETHER! Yea, that should do it.
Need more? We're told that you can expect 20+ custom UAMOUs, a large run of X-Ray UAMOUs (which just might see wider release), a brand new mini resin figure, an exclusive colorway run of Ugly Unicorns as well as some custom ones. Yup, that's a LOT of sweet vinyl. Plus, there just might be some of that 2D art we've heard so much about as well!
Anyone living in Japan that might want to go shopping for me?

I'm going to be straight-up & honest: I'm completely biased here, because I love the work of Josh Pearce aka
Fplus. Why this guy isn't a superstar in the custom community continues to baffle me. If you dig fantasy themes, amazing constructed customs, and paint jobs with depth, then Fplus is the man for you…
Entitled "Ice's Kiss Mammophant," this is a Labbit and Dunny custom piece. The paint job on the Labbit's skin is superb, every fold and crease feels completely real, and his eyes are wonderfully expressive. The "ice" formations are perfectly done… enough to express the cold without being so over-bearing that it hinders the other wonderful work done here. All that sculpted rigging on the Labbit (er, I mean, Mammophant) looks spot on… like "where did he buy that" versus "how did he build that" level. And the little touches, like the imperfect ladder that leads to the Dunny's catapult system, add that little extra realism that a fantasy piece needs.
The Dunny is insanely crafter too, especially considering the little details added… like his belt. Just gaze at the pictures, carefully, and try not to drool. Whoever owns this piece is one lucky dog!
And while this piece is not available, Fplus does have some pieces in
his shop and he is currently accepting commissions for the year. If you're interested, please contact the artist at
Josh [at] fplusnever [dot] com to work out pricing.

THARP's clean and cool painting style definitely impresses me… and I don't normally like pieces that literally treat vinyl platforms as canvases for paintings. On his custom 4" Kracka, you can see how he really went with the design and incorporated it into his style… turning the nose holes into expressive eye sockets, the tail into a rhino horn. Very creative, very cool. This custom — with original box, now doodled upon by THARP — will run you $85 in
his online store. Considering the amount of work and the skillful execution, that seems like a very reasonable price to me!

You're at
Coachella, the music is blaring, the thump of bass is giving you heart palpitations. You're walking around when you notice a
Silent Stage Gallery tent and there's a really cool, super smooth bear sculpture staring at you from within. What's going on? While not a lot of information is flowing, we do know that Aaron "
Angry Woebots" Martin designed a beautiful bear bust that he asked
J★RYU to sculpt out for him. And — as you can see from these WIP pics — the result is killer.
This super exclusive bust will be released at Coachella by Silent Stage & Angry Woebots and appears to be called the "Gazer bust," which might explain why his eyes are so piercingly perfect. Angry Woebots will also be doing some live painting at the event, so this isn't something to miss…
