Announcing our August 16th Monster Kolor custom show and pinstriping demo at PIQ inside Grand Central Terminal! Curated by Matt Walker of Monster Kolor and me, Benny Kline of Tenacious Toys, this show will feature 20 artists who work with various Monster Kolor brand paint products. Expect to see monsters, robots and all manner of freaky, vividly-colored creations! Sure to inspire you to create your own custom toys... I got hooked the very first time I used Monster Kolor paints.

Soft opening Aug 15 immediately after I set up the show, but if you can, come August 16th at 3pm to meet Matt Walker and the Monster Kolor artists and get schooled at Matt's 3pm pinstriping demo. If you're in town Aug 17 for the NY NOW trade show, there will be a party in the evening at PIQ as well to kick off the convention! I will be there in the shop all 3 days.

COOL SHIT AT SDCC: Tupac Cat by Jay222

Sculptor & painter Jay222 created a 75-piece run of Alex Pardee's "Tupac Cat" character for the Zerofriends booth (#5502) at SDCC. No two are alike, meaning you'll get a completely unique piece. This also means Jay has been worked to the bone and he's probably dead now, or at least has carpal tunnel. Way to go, Alex.

Here's the full details of this release, stolen directly from Alex Pardee's blog:

"IT'S TUPAC CAT, BITCH!" Sculpted & Designed by maniac JAY 222 (who sculpted my MOLAR BEAR, and who will be floating around the convention also so hunt him down), this fun rendition of my TUPAC CAT Character is available in 75 COMPLETELY UNIQUE, DIFFERENT, HAND PAINTED & EMBELLISHED VARIATIONS! No 2 are alike. Some are magical some are gangster, and some are downright SCARY (see the ZOMBIE one in that photo??). Make sure you come around the booth a few times throughout the convention as we will only be putting out a handful of these a day! And as a special bonus, anyone that buys one of these rare gems will get a FREE mini-book by ME and my good friend PHOTOSHOP featuring the adventures of Tupac Cat!
LIMITED TO 75, $70.00 EACH + FREE Mini Book!

SNEAK PEEK: Teasers for Almighty Dunny Show

Jay222 custom Qee for Thud Rumble show?

Here's a particularly greusome custom Qee by Jay222, seen on his blog here.

He posted this pic in a post mentioning a custom show at Thud Rumble, so I don't know if this is a qee he did for that show or what. Anyway, it's gross enough that I thought I'd repost.

Jay222's 36" Qee Bear Horror Custom video, a must-watch!

Jay222 is a San Fran-based artist that customizes toys with a unique and complex horror theme. The YouTube video of this latest piece must be seen to be believed.
