Merry Christmas

I'm odd for the holidays...I think too much and smile too little. I drink too much before, but spend the day itself...just...contemplating. I've been listening to the Guillemots lately, though honestly my music selection has increased 3fold in the past month. But merry christmas, happy holidays, whatever you follow. While every day should be a time to come together, at least the commercialization of this one gives us a reason to -remember- to come together.

“Skullhead #1″ Black Nickel A/Ps from Huck Gee

“Skullhead #1″ Black Nickel A/Ps from Huck Gee: "

Huck’s Fully Visual A/P Skullheads have finally arrived! They have 25 of these fellas and they are finished in a gorgeous Black Nickel. These pieces are large — for comparison’s sake, they are about three times larger than the first modernized Skullhead metal figure from Fully Visual, almost a pound and as big as a baseball. These paperweights of doom will each be signed, numbered and drop in Huck's store on Friday November 6th @ noon PST for $150 each.

"Kong" Teddy Troop custom by Okedoki

"Kong" Teddy Troop custom by Okedoki: "

In the This amazing custom created by Tam aka Okedoki was done for a lucky Kidrobot forum board member. This, just like the rest of her customs, turned out simply amazing, and what a lucky collector to have this in their possession, and just like every amazing customs deserves, here is 'Kong's' backstory...

'Year 625, after the great flood, 5 clans remained in the Kingdom of Tian. There has been peace throughout the Kingdom for almost a century, until a feud between Ren of the Human Clan, and Hiro of the Bear Clan ignited over the love of the beautiful Bijin. Jealousy and rage lead Ren and Hiro into battle. Hiro’s strength was no match for Ren’s speed and precision, as Hiro suffered a stab wound to the heart and bled to death. A dark cloud casted over the Kingdom of Tian as it fell into unrest. Sensing the unbalance, all the clans declared war on each other. Whole villages were torched and blackened. Thousands of innocent lives were lost. The Kingdom of Tian was in turmoil, as the darkness continued to reign.

* * *
From a dream, Kong woke up sweating with fist clenched. In his dream, the Gods visited and summoned him. They told him, it was his fate to restore peace in the Kingdom of Tian by revenging the death of Hiro. In his dream, the Gods told him he was to wear a helmet in reverence to Hiro. In the clutches of Hiro’s teeth was Ren. On the side of the helmet ‘Revenge’ was scrawled. He was to wear this helmet as he marched into battle.

Kong, undefiant to the God’s wishes, casted a helmet identical to the one in his dream. He put it on, and walked in the direction of the West Wind where the Human Clan lived. His blue eyes darkened from the reflection of the clouds, were focused and ready.

This is Kong’s journey...'

Here are a few things I've been working on lately.

“Empress of Death” print by Laurie Lipton

“Empress of Death” print by Laurie Lipton: "

Copro Gallery has just released a new print from Laurie Lipton. The print is from a drawing she had in her show “Day of the Dead” that took place at Copro last October. You have the choice to buy the print unframed or framed. I like the idea that the print is pretty much the same size as the original, this way you get to see all the amazing detail that Laurie is able to get. This print is 17″ x 22″, signed and numbered in an edition of 30 for $100, $300 framed and matted archival with plexi.
