We previously posted
HERE about the upcoming SDCC 2012 exclusive release of
Luke Chueh's amazing "Target" figure which will be released at the
Munky King booth #4539... and we had mentioned that Luke would be doing up a special doodle on each figure... and above we have some photos of some preliminary rough sketches of what he plans on adorning the walls with! This
10.5” tall polystone resin backdrop with
6.5” vinyl bear will be limited to
250 pieces worldwide and will be the perfect addition to any Chueh collection, or to any designer toy collection for that matter. It's a great blend of material and it really does fit the whole "Art Toy" mold in my opinion. Get that $140 ready to spend folks... this piee is going to be very sought after... and with a hand embellished wall by Luke... come on!!!!!!

La Muerta are offering up another awesome limited edition t-shirt to the masses and this go around they have teamed up once again with
Johnny Crap to release yet another epic shirt design titled "

If you value your cash supply and your current healthy limbs, definitely pay Baller here his deathly cut. He has a knack for "icing" situations regarded as itchy to his grandeur." This tank, just like all of the releases from La Muerta, is super limited...

Congrats to martin for getting this figure made... it looks amazing in the photos, and I can't wait to see it in person!

Dez Einswell continues on his somewhat unspoken tradition to have a prototype of a new figure on display at SDCC... and for 2012, he is set to show of his new character dubbed "HERMÈ". So, not much is known about this little fella other than what you see above, and it appears that this holds many of the characteristics that we have come to know and love from previous Einswell figures... but are those antennas? This will be on display during the con at the Doodle Barn Booth #4929... along with other surprises I assume. More to follow...

Nakanari has been customizing figures to resemble his "Ninja Spiki" design for years… and his persistence has paid off as he was rewarded with a production Dunny in the most recent series. The "Ninja Spiki" Dunny, depicting the character's iconic red scarf wafting in the wind, is an unfortunately rare blind box pull: a 1-in-40 ratio. But Nakanari recently received his 20 Artist Proof copies of the figure and decided to throw a Dunny Trading Party, giving you the chance to collect the spoils of his victory. And should you score the Ninja Spiki Dunny, Nakanari himself will be on hand to sign it for you! But that's not all… New artwork from your favorite Mai Hiro artists will be on display at the event as well as Mini Munny, Mini Foomi, and Spiki Chiisaii figures available for signing and sketches.
The Mai Hiro Dunny Trading Party will be held on Saturday, June 30th, 2012 at 5PM to 8PM at the
UCF Chewy Boba Company, 4250 Alafaya Trail, Suite 216, Oveido, Florida 32765.

Oh motherland, you are so far away. I'm a proud English girl that the Olympics this year will be in my native lands even though I will be observing from afar. On that note, those of you who are/will be in that part of the world should check out "Letters from America" presented by
Corey Helford Gallery LA. .
Corey Helford Gallery is proud to be bringing U.S. artists to a UK project of this “Olympian” scale and finishing with a celebration of four of the top U.S. street and graffiti artists - RISK, Ron English, Saber and TrustoCorp - in a gallery that’s been home to some of the finest street artists in the world, Black Rat Gallery.”
-- Jan & Bruce Helford
The project launches on June 30 with FREE outdoor installations at the
London Pleasure Gardens followed by a gallery exhibition at Shoreditch’s
Black Rat Gallery on July 4.
The London Pleasure Gardens is a multi-platform, cul- tural destination that will host site-specific outdoor installations by legendary Los Angeles graffiti writer
RISK, renowned street artist and master pop surrealist painter
Ron English and guerrilla art collective
TrustoCorp. They will be joined by art luminaries from around the world to salute the launch of the Pleasure Gardens.
HOLY BATMAN - - - & Look what they have lined up:
- Internationally-known for his bus installation at MoCA’s 2011 graffiti and street art survey “Art in the Streets,” RISK returns to the driver’s seat to vandalize a bus and the nose of a military bomber aircraft.
- New York artist Ron English lands in London to paint a custom billboard.
- TrustoCorp hits the ground to paint a largescale mural and series of signs that will be on view throughout the Pleasure Gardens.
On Wednesday, July 4 at
Black Rat Gallery, the exhibition transforms the London tunnel into a bunker of America’s most wanted artists, showcasing new works from RISK, Ron English, SABER, and TrustoCorp. Outdoor installations will be on view until December 2013. The opening reception at Black Rat Gallery is private and by invitation only. All of the artists will be in attendance on opening night, and the show runs through July 18, 2012.
I will be stalking the internet for regular updates on this one!
