Alright, so bad news first: this pretty much sold as soon as it hit the web, so … we lose. But regardless, this piece must be seen. Lovingly cradling a newborn in her arms, Mermaid is a breathtaking one-of-a-kind mixed media sculpture — the second from Scott Radke this week. Pictures rarely do scope justice: measuring nearly four feet tall and a foot-and-half wide (48″x18″), she’s as enormous as she is enchanting. Amazing. More shots after the jump, have a look!
Following the overwhelming response for his Humphrey Mooncalf badges, Doktor A debuts his newest installment in the Mechtorian character series: Bella DeLamere! Releasing this Sunday, there will be four colourways of this ‘retrobotic femme fatale’ (love that), and like the previous editions, the metal and enamel badge is an edition of 100 and retails for $10 a piece. A new feature for this batch are engraved numbers on the backs.
In keeping with the green theme, Dok will also be releasing his Leprechaun Humphrey Mooncalf APs, so pop in the shop and make your Sunday splendidly spooky.

This is seriously intriguing. Amanda Spayd dropped this juicy tidbit via various social media outlets earlier today: a silkscreen design that will be used … on something, sometime.
Cruel, Mandi. Real cruel. But you’re forgiven as we’re all freakin’ stoked you’re slingin’ the 2D works.
Anyone wish to hazard any guesses? Looks to be a lolly peeking out the corner, there. Hmmm … candy. Hmmm.
Doktor A has shared some progress shots of pieces he’s creating for Monsters & Misfits II in Japan this April. Is that … an oven with legs? Are those … bottles of food colouring? Admittedly I have no idea what the hell we’re looking at. But I like it.
Monsters & Misfits II opens April 13th at the Kusakabe Folk Museum.
Now up for grabs on Scott Radke’s website is ‘Funnel’, a one-of-a-kind, wall-mounted sculpture. Crafted from burlap and clay, Funnel measures 14″ x 7″ and is $725. A most excellent interpretation of the Tin Man, no? Drop Scott a line at scott@scottradke.com for availability! More imagery through the click.
Now available via the CP store are a pair of brand-spankin’ new postcard sets from Chris Ryniak and Travis Louie! Each set contains heavy-stock, oversize postcards with rounded corners and are an edition of 200 packs per artist. CMR’s debut set contains 17 cards, while Travis Louie’s third edition contains 16. Grab ’em here for $28 each!
FERG must be some sort of machine. Hot off the heels of his server-crippling TRIGGER exhibition with Brandt Peters last month, the release of NKD Nozzel, GERM S001 and now the FROZN WHOLE K11s from two weeks ago, the hustle continues. Just announced is the retailer version of NKD Nozzel and QPMNT PACs 5 & 6, all due out by late Jan/early Feb.
And these are seriously killer.
Dubbed [fr33dom club] and [Fort Burnout], QMPNT PACs 5 & 6 boast a whole whack of new gear including bags, hoodies, guns (duh), unique lenses and a sassy iron-on patch. Nozzel comes with the uber-cute butt-flap longjohns, tanto knife, lenses, 2.0 arms and removable helmet. Retailers have the choice of either bundling it all or selling the Squadt and PACs separately. QPMNT PAC snaps are posted below!
