Custom Coarse The Passage Set by Jon-Paul Kaiser

The Passage set created by Coarse Toys is an amazing 3 piece set of figures, that sit in a row boat. The Ignited Version of The Passage features GID versions of the figures, which include a Ruth, Void, and an Omen. One collector commissioned Jon-Paul Kaiser to take the Ignited Passage Set and put Jon-Paul's touches on the figures to make them truly unique. Jon-Paul cleaned Void's Mask to make the glow even brighter on the piece. With highlights and strategic accents, Jon-Paul was able to make create a fantastic finished piece. In order to really show the work and beauty of this piece, Jon-Paul went to his go to photographer Justin Allfree to provide pictorial justice to the piece. After hours in Justin Allfree's studio, positioning and capturing the perfect shot, Justin still spent a good amount of time processing the shots to produce the wonderful pictures that can be shared with the world. Since only a few people are able to appreciate commissioned pieces in person, it's always great to have a photographer like Justin Allfree who will make the photographs show how beautiful Jon-Paul's pieces really are.

Hemlock Bootlegs - New Resin Toys


These bootleg resin toys come courtesy of Doug E. Fresh under the name Bootleg Toys. So far three separate figures have been released since the beginning of the year with a fourth one coming soon. The artist's intention is to project an aesthetic that draws the imagination into the worlds his figures exist in by embracing the paradox of expressing an original idea with stolen source material.

You can find Hemlock Toys through their online store, email or Instagram.








Rivals: Masters of the Deep

If the phrase "underwater steampunk battle" doesn't seal the deal on getting you to back the Rivals board game Kickstarter, I'm not sure there's much I can do to convince you. You might also want to check and see if you have a pulse or any vital signs in general.

Masters of the Deep is a tactical miniatures board game for 2 - 4 players set in the cold dark depths of the Lurk. Players take command of either the Cog or the Nautilus, gather a fighting force and, through wise decisions and strategic moves, destroy the opposition.

The campaign is fully funded but there's still 14 days left to get in on the action and every dollar gets you closer to awesome stretch goals like additional miniatures and even higher quality gaming pieces.

Back Shawn Smith's Recycled Mini Resketch Books on Kickstarter

I LOVE my Resketch recycled/reclaimed paper sketchbook that I got from the last Kickstarter. Now Shawn "Shawnimals" Smith has a new Kickstarter running now for a mini version - I just placed my pledge for a 3-pack. Only $12! Super cheap. I love my original Resketch so much that I put it on the homepage of my personal website here. Definitely recommended, and at that price, you can't go wrong.

Resketch books are spiral-bound collections of assorted reclaimed/recycled/reused papers. Every page is different which is pretty exciting for me, sort of gets my brain working in a different way every time I flip a page to draw or take notes.
