Some Quick Pics from TRIGGER!

  • by

TRIGGER opened with BANG yesterday at Stranger Factory and, fortunately for us, FERG and shop minion Mikee were able to secure us some snaps while amidst the flurry of setup!

We all knew this would be a show that would set the bar for 2012 and now we have the pics to prove it. A melange of 2- and 3-dimensional works, TRIGGER is a showcase of some of the most dynamic, intriguing and downright unusual customs to date from FERG and Brandt Peters. We’ve got sex, we’ve got violence and even some mad scientist goin’ on up in here!

ABQ localites, the show’s on ’til the end of the month — stop by and see it for yourselves! Mailing listers, all will be revealed tomorrow (the 8th) when the preview goes live at noon PST. You’ll have a day to drool over everything and the email request period opens Monday (the 9th) at noon PST. Good luck to all — click through for a full photo gallery below!

Stranger Factory Presents: Brandt Peters x FERG – ‘TRIGGER’ 1.6

Alrighty folks … you’ve seen the teasers, you’ve read of the ass-kicking insanity that is currently unfolding in Albuquerque and Austin … now here is some more candy for the eyeballs and the ‘officially official’ details from the man himself, Mr. Brandt Peters:

Stranger Factory art space is proud to present “TRIGGER” a two-person exhibition by artists Brandt Peters and Clay Ferguson (aka FERG). Both artists explore the ideas and personification of a trigger… that initiator that precipitates a reaction whether literally or metaphorically, whether on behalf of destruction or protection… What’s the target?

Hot damn. TRIGGER is set to tyrannize Stranger Factory Jan. 6th with a myriad of 2- and 3-dimensional works. For the first time we’ll get to see these two reinterpret each other’s toys and construct some of the most menacing customs to date. More insight to emerge with the artist profiles, so keep checking back!

TRIGGER runs through Jan. 30th, 2012, with an opening reception from 6pm to 9pm. Both artists will be in attendance.

Trouble Fucker by FERG for TRIGGER

  • by

FERG is certainly bringin’ the heat with yet another Squadt custom reveal: Trouble Fucker, a custom Trouble Boy payin’ homage to the Die Fuckers before him. Pimped out in a printed white tee, jacket and silenced MAC 10, this fella means bidnazz!!

TRIGGER opens Jan. 6th at Stranger Factory.

FERG’s ‘Black Chrome’ Custom Trouble Boy for TRIGGER

  • by

Well get a load of this: as Squadt fans collectively rejoice over the notion of FERG customizing a posse of Trouble Boys, he double-ups the ante by busting out metal-infused paints. Seriously. We’re talkin’ real metal that’s worked into paint through a ‘true-metal deposition paint process.’

What this means: the skull on this guy shimmers like the fender on Frank Kozik’s Charger. What this means for you and I: a damn beautiful custom to magpie next month. More soon.
