A while back I posted of an exclusive Lil Mort Red figure, and now it looks like Munky King has a black version in stock. This new figure is 7″ tall, vinyl and limited to an edition of 400. They will have the red one coming soon, and they also have a very smooth looking clear version that is limited to 100.

3D Retro has an exclusive vinyl figure by Coop. “Lil Mort” is based on a few of the paintings that were in his latest solo show at the Corey Helford Gallery. This figure is glow in the dark, 7″ tall and has a removable scythe. It’s limited to 150, but according to Vinylpulse 50 of those are saved for “Corey Helford Gallery’s members”.

Coop Show Poster

Coming this Friday, May 29th to the Corey Helford Gallery is the latest solo show of new works by Coop. It’s his first exhibition in past three years, and looks amazing. There is a killer feature of his new works in the latest issue of Juxtapoz (May,09). These new painting are massive, and are a mixture of painting, stencils and silk screening. The halftones look great and are mostly hand painted. Daily Du Jour has a studio visit posted on the site, really shows how big the paintings are.

For now here is a few preview images of some of the work. For the full preview, contact the gallery. rs@coreyhelfordgallery.com
