Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2 resin sculpture release by Patrick Wong

Patrick Wong is proud to announce the release of his latest resin sculpture entitled "Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2".

The artwork further explores the theme of failure in protest, riot, and revolt common in many of the art toys and customs from the artist in recent years. It is also the followup piece to the 2015 released resin sculpture "Emblem of an Abstract Riot".

Cast in solid urethane resin and features an extinguished wick within a molotov cocktail, the piece riffs on The Simpsons cartoon with various elements appropriated directly from the show.

"Emblem of an Abstract Riot no.2" measures 6 x 6 x 3.75 inches. Available to order through the artist's webshop, the handcrafted resin art-multiples are priced at $200 and available for a limited time.

Nugglife Hustling with NEW Apparel, Pins, Custom Toys and Paintings

Ian writes:

 

It's been a hectic past 2 months building the Nugglife Brand.  Making the first big move into expanding and becoming more than just an art/toy based company.  For almost 9 months prior to this past NYCC we have been in full motion, expanding into cut n sew clothing.  Expressing the brand in a premium urban designer wear inspired by the New York hustler. We keep the quality of the apparel on the same plane as our art. Relating the two is important to us, and as the series builds it allows us to fully expand bringing our characters lifestyle into apparel.  

Be ready as we have full collab resin pieces and customs dropping the next couple months, and a full winter drop.  Peep all the goodies dropped at NYCC this past month! NYCC 2016 was the first official launch of the Nugglife Brand as whole.  

Bigshot Toyworks' Gnomeboy Gets Dissected with Jason Freeny

Bigshot Toyworks is proud to announce a new collaboration with the infamous and always amazing Jason Freeny! Jason has been a friend of Bigshot Toyworks for many years. In that time, they’ve worked on numerous projects together including the recent Bugs Bunny Anatomy sculpt for Kidrobot. Naturally, there's been talk for some time about a more personal collaboration, and now Bigshot Toyworks is ready to unveil a new project blending Jason’s unique anatomical dissection with one of Bigshot's in-house IPs: The Gnomeboys.

 

Behold: Ragnar “The Metal Gnome” Hellstrummer! He puts the Rok in Ragnarok! Ragnar is all Metal...all day long...even while doing laundry. He is dark and moody and is ready to set the stage on fire with his black metal guitar licks. We just hope his guts don’t spill out before the end of his solo….

 

  

The Ragnar Anatomical Dissection figure is 6” tall, hand-crafted from polystone in the world’s most metal place of crafting... CHINA!

 

Ragnar is a one-time collaborative project limited to 200 pieces in the standard colorway, with preorders available now at the Bigshot Toyshop:

Preorders for the standard edition of Ragnar will ship to customers after NYCC. In order to slake the black thirst for metal that inevitably creeps up at conventions, two more super-limited colorways will be created, including the Black Death Edition Ragnars to be sold at NYCC and DCon.

Hobbes Sculpture by Rich Page of UME Toys

This was a commissioned piece sculpted by Rich Page, a UK artist aka UME Toys. You can't have this one, because it's got an owner already, but you can hit Rich up here to commission your own. Calvin & Hobbes is near and dear to my heart, as my father read it to me on Sunday mornings when I was a kid. An adorable 3D rendition of a beloved character which will forever live deep in my subconscious, child brain.  Nice work, Rich.

• size: 14"L x 4"W x 10"H
• material: polystone
• produced by: ToyQube
• arrival: Q4 2016

Artist's statement:

To me the burning tire refers to the popular revolt that we see a lot of these days. A gasoline-filled tire is a low-fi weapon, similar to the Molotov cocktail. But the "Wheel of Fire" is also an ancient religious symbol, referring to the sun an the motion of the earth, and the symbolic nature of fire is both creator and destroyer, purifier and defiler. The symbolic meaning of the burning wheel and the actual application of the burning tire as a violent means of revolution coincide, which makes the image extra powerful.

But it's of course also a symbol of speed- if you want it to be about formula 1 racing it's okay with me, it's never just one thing- and it's an obvious rock&roll reference too:

 

'This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!'
