  • by

FERG has more pew-pew for our peepers with this latest pair of pics for TRIGGER. As he puts the finishing touches on his previously-revealed ‘Desert Trouble’ custom, he also offers us a first look at Chipp, who’s decked out in some slick Scarface duds. A week and a half to go until the FERG and Peters posses toe off at Stranger Factory!

The preview period for local collectors kicks off opening night (Jan. 6th) until Jan. 8th. Mailing list folk, you can expect the preview to hit your inboxes on Jan. 8th (there will be plenty left over for you, promise). The email request period opens MONDAY, JAN. 9TH AT NOON PST! Good luck!

‘Snoweater’ from Chris Ryniak

  • by

Can we say greatest Christmas present evar?!

A member of the CP forum was shocked to find this wee beastie from Chris Ryniak nibbling on the gifts beneath the tree. A commissioned Crumbeater custom (how’s that for consonance), the ice blue Snoweater is adorned with delicate, lace-like snowflakes that Ryniak worked into the piece. A truly unique and beautiful gift, for sure!

Brandt Peters’ ‘TROUBLE COUPLE: 23’ for TRIGGER

  • by

Gangsters and pin-up girls collide in this debut TRIGGER teaser from Brandt Peters!

We’re talkin’ a little Bonnie and Clyde hotness mixed with the smarmy tact of Tony Montana with Elvira. These two will take you to the cleaners and be it blade or barrel, the wise will avoid being at the end of either.

Trouble Couple: 23 is a 12” x 18” mixed media piece on wood panel … a delectably dangerous reimagining of the badass and Burlesque, Squadt and Circus … it all be brought’n here! TRIGGER opens Jan. 6th at Stranger Factory!

Humphrey Mooncalf Teaser + Info from Doktor A

  • by

And what have we here? Dok A posted up this delightfully cryptic teaser on the Sideshow recently, leaving Humphrey Mooncalf fans collectively stroking their chins …

Looks like we have another colourway in our midst and he’s looking rather green; Irish edition? Who says a refined gentleman such as him cannot enjoy a pint or three?

In other Mooncalf news: The Doktor is releasing the A/P editions of Dapper and Verdegris on MON, DEC. 26 at 6PM LONDON TIME via the Spookypop shoppe. The Nocturnal and Entertainer editions will drop at a later date, topping it off with the new verdant fella after its retail release.

Plenty to look forward to in the coming days!

Scott Radke ‘Slugs’ WIP

  • by

Dogs, birds, cats, swans … there’s seemingly no creature (on this plane or beyond) that Scott Radke won’t explore. Next up in his small-run clay sculptures are Slugs, due out early next year.

Measuring 13” long and 12” tall, these sculptures are meant to stay grounded, but bonus points to anyone adventurous enough to mount them on a wall or the side of a cabinet!

New from Amanda Spayd: Critter Sketches!

  • by

Followers of Amanda Spayd’s Tumblr have likely noticed something a little different in the Critter Workshop as of late: her dudes have gone 2D! Yes indeedy, Mandi has busted out the sketch cards and pencils and is exploring the world of monsters in a simpler, albeit more intimate format than her popular mini print packs.

While she pegs the sketches as just a fun venture for now, expect an opportunity to purchase some original 2D work from Mandi early next year. More info on that in the coming weeks!
