64 Colors's pipe smoking custom Foomi is adorable!

Do the duo of 64 Colors ever sleep? Hot after our announcing a wooden Gumdrop run (which can be seen in the background of this pic even), we get this amazing image of a custom Foomi. His acorn hat is too much for me to handle, but the perfection of his argyle trousers complete with their frowny face buttons is what truly floors me. The pipe even appears to have a coiled white cleaner coming out of it, emulating smoke… absolutely brilliant.

Sean Viloria's monstrously amazing custom Munny for Kidrobot's Munnworld!

Entitled "Rider Of The Great Fire Dragon," this is indeed a custom 7-inch Munny. Or, more precisely, a custom Munny head with a custom 3" Dunny rider and custom zipper pull lure. Canadian artist Sean Viloria did an outstanding job with this piece, which he's submitted into the 2012 Munnyworld contest.

If you like what you see — and you'd be crazy not to — then please head on over and vote for his piece on the Munnyworld contest. We're also informed that this piece is available for sale, so interested parties should Private Message (PM) Viloria through his Kidrobot Forum account.

Task One's custom "Dexter" Munny for Plastic Chapel's "As Seen On TV" show!

Continuing the teasers for the previously announced upcoming Task One solo show "As Seen On TV," we have a custom Munny made to resemble Michael C. Hall's character Dexter Morgan from Dexter. Task One continues to do an outstanding job of converting the plain white Munny form into something truly special for television fanatics… not only does he nail Dexter's sly & knowing face but adds all the tell-tale markings of the character's nightly persona: the blood-splattered apron, freshly used knife (I'd imagine the proper scalpel would've been too hard to craft from scratch), and the body filled garbage bag. Brilliant job.

Task One's "As Seen On TV" solo gallery show opens on June 9th with a reception from 6-10PM at Plastic Chapel, 3109 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80206.

Squink's "Trust Me" Custom Munny evolves his 2011 Dunny form…

At this point, I think most people are familiar with Squink!'s "Ken the Mysterious Tigrrr" from the 2011 Dunny series (and, if not, then you can view an amazing 8-inch custom version HERE). But now he's evolved the form even further, creating this one-off custom 7" Trikky entitled "Trust Me." Per usual, amazingly clean acrylic paints on the vinyl platform and I love how it states "Trust Me" directly above the zipper detail, which obviously implies that something is hidden underneath. This fantastic custom will be available in Squink!'s web shop today at 12 Noon PST for £149.95 (approx. $235).

Chris Brett's custom Munny for "They Came From The Streets 2"!

Chris Brett shares a nice teaser picture for his "They Came From The Street 2" custom Munny. And yes, we're told this is a custom 7" Munny even though we can see Dunny ears… so now I'm wondering, if you cut the top off of an 8" Dunny would it fit perfectly like a cap on a 7" Munny? Intriguing… And I love the tantalizing element of a spatula. What could this be? *** UPDATE *** Or perhaps it's just that Dunny Ears Hat accessory that I always forget about because people don't use them often enough. Silly me.

"They Came From The Streets 2," organized by the guys of Urban Vinyl Daily, opens on June 1st at UNHeardof, 323 W 4th St., Cincinnati, OH 45202.

Contributing artists include: Frank Kozik, Scott Tolleson, Gary Ham, DrilOne, Eyeone, 64 Colors, ValleyDweller, Steve Talkowski, Rsin, Lunartik, VISEone, Task One, Luke Cheuh, THARP, Nerviswr3k, Ian Ziobrowski, Abe Lincoln JR., Scribe and Alisa Ross, Squink, A Little Stranger, JFury, Jon Chase, JC Rivera, Maxx242, Chase Tafoya, Chris Brett, Dez Einswell, Terribly Odd, Jason Gallo, and Cache.

Racecar 13's "1099'd-Studio Daze" art show at Hold Up Art in LA!

Los Angeles-based artist Tanner "Racecar 13" Goldbeck is invading his natural habitat tonight, unveiling a collection of "not just painting selections, but helmets, skate decks, car hoods, drawings, screen prints… everything but the kitchen sink." Entitled "1099'd-Studio Daze," Goldbeck explains the show and title thusly:

I've come to understand that all projects bring influence and experience into the fine art paintings. What ends up on the gallery wall is only a small portion of the work that goes into the entire process. With this show, I am collecting all the threads together for a unique perspective. Everything is connected and classified under one category… the 1099 tax form…

"1099'd-Studio Daze" opens tonight (May 25th) with a reception from 7-11PM and runs through June 19th at the Hold Up Art Gallery, 358 E. 2nd St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

Pause Designs's custom Deep Sea Diver Chuckboy Dunny!

The ever-inventive trio of Pause Designs are taking the best line from Jaws to the next level; "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat" has mutated and re-manifested as a wonderful custom entitled "I think we're going to need a bigger net." Using a 3" Chuckboy Dunny as the basis, a radical amount of sculpting, sewing and painting has transformed him into a deep sea diver, complete with opening helmet frontispiece. The fish and castle were sculpted from scratch out of clay and the diving pump was hand-crafted out of primarily wood. For added effect, the scenario can be displayed inside the fishbowl (as seen above) or outside of it (as seen below).

I love the tongue-in-cheek humor of this scene, especially considering how tiny the net accessory is. All the little pieces look spot on, making the whole absolutely perfect. This was a commission piece, so some lucky collector out there already has claim on it… but you can always contact Eric of Pause Designs about commissioning your a piece of your very own.

Cris Rose x Lunabee's French-themed Ruckuses custom robots!

A pair of resin robots were crafted & casted Cris Rose and hand-painted by Lunabee, who them sculpted the breads & cheeses which Rose painted. This duo of Ruckuses have been given a French theme because the artsits behind them wish to take a vacation to France. Makes perfect sense, right? The one of the right is Garçon and the other is Camembert, both of which can be found in Rose's online webshop for $160 each… but each is unique, so hurry!
