“Talking Board Planchette” by Chet Zar

Chet Zar has added some sculptural collectibles to his online shop. One of which is the custom made Planchette that was given to the VIP guests at his 2007 “Stranger” show at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin. It’s made out of hand cast urethane resin, and if it is anything like a normal planchette the size is around 6″ x 4″, but don’t take my work for that. Each planchette is also signed on the bottom. This is quite a unique collectible that can be had for only $20 each.

“Anatomical” prints by Stuntkid

Jason Levesque, otherwise known as Stuntkid, has added three new prints to his online shop. The prints are from a new series of works that show the figure as a see-through anatomical model. It reminds me a bit of those “Visible Man” and “Visible Woman” anatomical kits that were popular when I was a kid, minus the viscera of course. Jason does a great job making sure the models for the prints, Scar, Apnea and Asphyxia are still recognizable as themselves. Each print is 12″ x 12″ on heavy watercolor paper, signed and numbered in editions of 50 for $40 each. You can also opt to buy all three at once and save $20.
