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.
Now this is just UBER cool! The folks over at the October Toys / Toy Break booth setup a time lapse video to capture the entire span of San Diego Comic-Con... and it's all in the above 3:14 video! This is 4.5 days of pure geek ecstasy, all wrapped up with a cute bow on top. So do you wanna see what happens when the exhibition hall closes... take a look!
He gave us Sushi as well as Sashimi... and now, the mind of Andrew Bell brings us a delightful new vinyl creation which we are calling his "Can of Worms"... for obvious reasons :-) These vinyl figures were on display at the DKE Toys booth during SDCC 2012 and they just looked adorable... and as you can see, there are already 2 colorways out in the wild, the red and the GID! The figures themselves are a bit of a departure from Andrew's more morbid/sad work... but nonetheless... they look amazing and I love that they come with a "can" that says "worms" on it! No word on a release or a price for these yet... but I am sure we will be seeing something pop-up in the not so distant future!
I know you all have been itching to grab one EPIC piece of vinyl for your collection... and Lash of MVH is going you that opportunity as he has teamed up with BLObPUS once again to release a really amazing "Ollie" figure in the striking "Enma Green" edition! This wonderful GIANT green/purple version is most definitely striking... and if it tickles your fancy like it does mine, head on over HERE now, follow the instructions on how to order, and sit tight as he will come knocking on (down) your door this September!
It looks like Erick Scarecrow is heading to the HUGE K11 event in Hong Kong for the Summer Market showcase which will feature 11 of his characters at 4ft size... WHAT?!?! Yeah, they supersized ESC Toys and not only will there be these awesome figures but the event is going to generate a HUGE buzz around it!!! You may remember the event that we posted about HERE from last year when they blew up Tokidoki figures... pretty rad. Erick tells us that he will have a ton more photos of the statues once he gets there... so get ready!
The amazing Davidkraig recently created the above "Onryō" custom using a 4-inch Mini Munny base with tons of intricate Super Sculpey work before acrylic detailing. Even the coat is made of real leather. For those that aren't aware, Onryō is traditional Japanese spirit of vengeance… someone that was wronged in life that has been given a powerful physical form in the afterlife in order to exact revenge. While typically these were females, it's not unheard of for there to be a male onryō (which is what this custom appears to depict). Regardless, he did a fantastic job portraying this 'demon.'
This piece is — it sadly seems — not for sale in Davidkraig's online shop, but you can always contact him about commissioning a piece similar to this one!
As the cult of JFury continues to grow, his more aboriginal designed customs seem to be overtaking his classic clown visages. I really dig these 3" Dunny pieces, which are being sold blind bagged and — of course — the two lucky buyers of the 2-in-10 "black and grey chase" with it's wonderfully sculpted headdress are the real winners. But considering he's only selling these for $65 each, I guess everyone who can snag one is actually a winner… Available now in JFury's online shop!
While people were busy at San Diego Comic-Con, Miss Muju had squirreled herself away inside Mujuworld's Muju-Studio, tirelessly hand-crafting these 7-inch tall resin "Mandala Spirit" figures. Hand-cast, hand-painted, signed & numbered, each one is a completely unique collectible worthy of the finest collections… and, for the eco-friendly, these are cast in a plant-based, non-toxic bio resin. And, the best part is, these are only the first nine! This is the first wave of a new ongoing series the Muju duo are doing, but it's always best to get in on the ground floor, isn't it? The "Mandala Spirit" figures are currently available in the Mujuworld online shop for £80 (approx. $125) each.
And as we come to the end of another year of the San Diego Comic-Con, our intrepid photographer captures the madness that is the DKE Toys's Sample Sale. Yes, all those wonderful display samples had to go… what you see is what you get, no box, no accessories, no nothing, but they were cheap and the crowd didn't seem to mind at all!

It seemed like everywhere you turned at this year's SDCC, there was Martin Hsu… the in-demand artist did signings at multiple booths (this photo set is from his Kuso Vinyl one) as well as having his own booth all to himself. You know, it's supposed to be the Year of the Dragon but I'm feeling like it's the Year of the Dragon Boy! Click through for the photo slideshow…
It's always fun when someone like David Horvath — co-creator of the Uglydoll phenomenon — takes time to set-up at DKE Toys' SDCC Booth and do some signings and sketches… Our man on the scene was in a mad rush to try and eek out all he could on this final day of the con, but he still snapped some nice candid photos of Horvath for all you fans out there.
For the final day of the SDCC, Kidrobot had their "Social Media Ambassador" Ryan the Wheelbarrow performing a live t-shirt screen printing event for fans. Completely in-line with Ryan's famous Live Fashion Vandalism outings, it was a true treat for those stalwart attendees who remained for Sunday at the con. Click through for the photo slideshow…
The delicately beautiful artwork of Camilla d'Errico was abundant in her SDCC booth, filled with a wide variety of mediums expressing her iconic wide-eyed, fine line ladies. Click through for the photo slideshow…
Hidden deep in the displayed items of the DKE Toys SDCC Booth, eagle eyed reader's might've spotted this little guys in yesterday's post about the booth. These M.U.S.C.L.E.-sized (& styled) figures are called S.U.C.K.L.E. and were sculpted by George Gaspar (of OMFG! & October Toys fame) based on famous characters of the Sucklord's creation: Gay Empire, Vectar the Intolerable, Another Bitch, Galactic Jerkbag, and Sucklord. These prototypes were not for sale, but we're told that the full release should be out for the Holiday season.
