“Fat Tony” vinyl collectible by Ron English

josh — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:35:21 +0000

A little over a week ago, Ron English previewed a new vinyl collectible on his site called “Fat Tony”, and as you can see is a play on Tony the Tiger, but it looks as though he has been indulging too much in his own product. The toy is 9″ tall and both arms are articulated. It’s available on a few sites around the net, the first I found was Nowhere Limited, but I imagine you could search for your favorite shop to see if they have one.

Books: Pre-order “White: A Decade” by Michael Hussar

Back in 2010 at the Alternative Press Expo (reviewed), I talked about a new book in the works from Baby Tattoo for artist Michael Hussar. The book, entitled White: A Decade is now finally ready for pre-order and from the preview images, looks amazing. If the news around the net is correct, the book is roughly 8″ x 11″ and 250 pages.

The book will be released in Italy this February, and then in March 1st there will be a release and signing in Los Angeles. For any order placed via the link below, the book will not arrive until a few days after the 1st, but will come with a hand-signed bookplate by Hussar. I have also heard that there will be a limited edition run of this book later on, possibly with a hard slipcase, prints, etc. For now, I am excited this book is finally here. Take a look at the preview images below, pulled from Michael Hussar’s Facebook feed, and then head over to pre-order the book.

David Hochbaum Offering Limited Edition Book Sets

New York artist David Hochbaum‘s alchemical works, based around his personal twists of antique myths, are simultaneously unsettling and consoling. David’s photo collages are rife with repeating symbols that are weighty, almost anthropomorphic with personalities of their own, and arranged with highly skilled stagecraft. They are deceivingly easy to lock onto; to sympathize with what story unfolds on his picture-planes.

David recently began offering a limited edition book set that showcases three seperate bodies of his recent photo collage work: Creatures of the Sea and Sky, Kaiden Shu, and Large Format Polaroids. In addition to images of his artworks, these precious 5″x7″ books each contain one limited edition, 5″ x 7″ silkscreen mystery print on watercolor paper, all contained within a numbered, handmade, custom-printed sleeve.

These sets are available only through the artist directly. You can find more information about David’s artwork and the box set on his website. To inquire about purchasing, you can email him directly.

“Zombie in Love” @ Gallery Nucleus by Scott C

Back in September Gallery Nucleus opened a solo show from Scott C, that completely slipped our radar. The show was entitled Zombie in Love, and fits perfectly with the Halloween season. The show featuring a series of paintings that made up Scott’s latest book Zombie in Love. The reception had Scott give a book reading, a drawing demo, and fans even showed up dressed like zombies. Looks like it was quite a fun evening. The show and reception photos are online to view, and you can still grab the book from the Nucleus online store (here). Hardcover, 32 pages, and you can order it signed or unsigned.

“Uncle Six Eyes” sculpture by Travis Louie

josh — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:28:05 +0000

About 2 years at the San Diego Comic Con, a sculpture by Bigshot Toyworks was presented, “Uncle Six Eyes” by Travis Louie. The sculpture was a full figure, identical to what was created in the original painting. Now Shinbone Creative (formerly Bigshot) has just released the “Uncle Six Eyes” resin sculpture, although now it is a bust. Measuring at 10″ x 7.5″ x 7″, this resin sculpture is limited to 150 pieces at $120 each. I like the idea that they changed it into a bust, and the color really makes this looks as though it has a nice aged patina to it.

Tara McPherson “Lilitu” x Kidrobot Black

josh — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:45:50 +0000

Kidrobot is getting ready to release a new addition to the “Black” series, which previously saw vinyl collectibles by Doze Green, Jeff Soto, SSUR, and Gary Baseman. This new collectible is by Tara McPherson and is based off of her “Lilitu” painting (shown below). This 8 inch vinyl will be limited to an edition of 200, and much like the rest of the series is going to sell out fast. As you can see by the images below, the limited color palette, along with the great design from the artist, really make this one dynamic collectible. As stated by Tara: “This painting is based on the Sumerian myth of the demon Lilitu. Representing chaos, seduction and ungodliness. She is a sexually charged yet infertile succubus who behaves aggressively toward men and children killing them at her every whim, her breasts are filled with poison not milk. In her every guise, Lilitu has cast an evil spell on humankind.” Thanks to Notcot for the heads up, check out their site for an animated gif showing all sides of the sculpture.

Keep your eyes on the site, a release date will be posted soon. Kidrobot Black

Flotsam

In case you missed it, Allison Sommers recently released a sweet new book called Flotsam. Containing images culled from her Moleskine sketchbooks of 2010 and 2011, you can see from where many of her painting ideas sprung, and enjoy her grotesque, lumpy and loveable creatures in embryonic form.

Allison currently has work up in Jason Levesque’s curated exhibition in Virginia and Thinkspace is planning on including her work in a special project taking place in Arizona in the coming months. I also have to mention that following her twitter stream is quite entertaining; this woman has a fantastically snarky sense of humor. You probably could have assumed that from looking at her work.

New art book by Dan Harding

Dan Harding recently released a new art book featuring some of his most popular paintings. I took some more photos to show the inside, and give an idea how the images are laid out. The book is 6″ x 8″, and has 20 full color pages. If your a fan of Dan’s work this is a great little book to have and it comes directly from the artists for $20 + shipping.

Godmachine – “Tempus” Vannen Watch

josh — Wed, 04 May 2011 19:56:00 +0000

Dropping tomorrow, May 5th from Vannen Watches is a new limited edition timepiece by the outstanding Godmachine. I haven’t much about Vannen Watches, if at all, but I think it’s a great new way for fans to got some art they love that isn’t a print, t-shirt, or iphone skin. They’ve released quite a few watches so far, from such artists as Alex Pardee, Brian Morris, Travis Lampe, McBess, and more. Godmachine’s new watch Tempus (latin for time) is limited to 150 watches, with 10 silver variants. Each watch comes in signed and numbered packaging enclosed in a body bag, and you even get a Godmachine sticker. It’s an intense looking watch, but what else would you expect from such a dynamic artist? If you head over to the Vannen site there is also a good interview with Godmachine, so check out the watch and get to know the artist a bit more.
