Winter Salon III and Winter Bloom Freyjas by Chris Ryniak

  • by

IMG_5039We haven’t seen this beastie known as Freyja in quite a bit, but it looks like a few have come out of their summer slumber period for Winter Salon III!

This low edition of 10 Winter Bloom Freyjas by Chris Ryniak make their cold weather migration to Albuquerque this Friday for the exhibit. You should probably be warned that these guys are on the endangered species list and we will not see them for very long.

The Winter Salon runs December 6th – 29th, with an opening reception on Friday, December 6th from 6 – 9 PM.

 

 

The 2nd Annual Turkey Hands Contest

  • by

hand-turkey1Back by popular demand! Chris Ryniak is hosting the 2nd Annual Turkey Hands contest over on the Circus Posterus forums.

It doesn’t matter if you have museum quality art skills or pathetic ones like I do because all are welcome (just become a member of the forum).

Just in time for Thanksgiving, so get started tracing those hands!

The rules are simple –

1.TRACE YOUR HAND
2.Then turn your hand drawing into something else, doesn’t have to be a turkey. The more creative the better. Hell, you might even want to pander a little…maybe something CP related (just a suggestion).
3. Post your image on the Circus Posterus contest thread by the deadline – Saturday NOVEMBER 30th!

(Limited to 3 entries per person.)

Chris will be picking a winner on his own criteria…including possibly humour, skill, lack of skill, the fate of your turkey hand drawing is entirely in his very large and decisive hands. But the prize will be worth it – it’s a random bundle of CMR goodies, including an original drawing!

This contest is open to EVERYONE(regardless of post count), so if you’ve been meaning to join in the fun and hilarity of the Circus Posterus Sideshow, this is the time!

Destination Designer Con: Fuzzlethump!

  • by

Get ready to break out the “aww” and “ohh” sounds, because for Designer Con 2013 Chris Ryniak has a brand new monster in the works.
Meet the 3.5″  Fuzzlethump! He’s full of big eyes and is rubbing its hands together, like it has conceived a master plan to obtain all your Halloween candy while you sleep. He probably is in cahoots with Chris’ Bugbites for fiendish plans!
For the convention, Chris will have 10 of these little fella all cast and painted by him up for grabs. Seeing as the con is over two days, we will probably spread them out over both of those. Have you got your tickets yet?

Sketching in Japan

  • by

Since many of the Japanese collectors don’t get to see our wonderful band of artist misfits very often, it is a true blessing when Monsters & Misfits comes around to their home base! Many Circus Posterus aficionados get to meet Brandt and the gang for the first time, or finally get to continue a conversation from the year before!

This year’s Monsters & Misfits III showed once again the lengths to which our great crew of artists will go to please their collectors. They signed toy after toy and drew in sketchbook after sketchbook. They were more than happy to show the love back to all those attending the show – or anywhere for that matter. Fortunately, we had Mikee on hand to share some pictures from the multiple sketch sessions in Takayama!
