Andrew Bell
Monsters & Misfits Monday: Andrew Bell is all eyes
How lovely is is to saunter slowly down a cobblestone path in September’s delicious early evening balm, and end up in the elegant town of Takayama, Japan. This is what I imagine for Andrew Bell’s eye riders.
Maneuvering into the night can be a daunting task, but if you have eyeball creatures that utilize their optic nerves and extraocular muscles to get you on your way, you are golden! These blind riders have no problem joining into the Monsters & Misfits III parade because they have their lanterns lit and their transportation wide-eyed for the path ahead.
Andrew keeps astounding us with his work for this show, and these riders are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. There is so much more to come from Andrew and the rest of the artists, you might want to keep your eyes open like these guys above!
Is Andrew Bell Riding Nerdy for Monsters & Misfits III?
Things are starting to get weird but even more spectacular with all the work in progress shots we see from the artists for Monsters & Misfits III!
Speaking of, Andrew Bell is either riding nerdy or riding dirty with this new leggy creation that has a small driver on top. Maybe he is doing a little bit of both! Andrew will hopefully show us the rest of this monstrous guy so we can see just what exactly is going on. We do know that his sad tofu approves, but he is just always sad so don’t let his expression fool you!
WIP by Andrew Bell for Monsters & Misfits III
Andrew Bell is going to Japan for Monsters & Misfits III with the Circus Posterus hooligans, and we have some developing work by his awesome self. This toothy looking glob is well on its way to being a creature straight from Andrew’s head! Still in its very early stages, it seems like a bellybutton is even going to make an appearance (an inny too) with an ice cream coned swirled noggin. We will keep everyone updated on more work when we get tidbits here and there, but we can already tell you that this show will blow you out of the water like Godzilla doing a belly flop!!!
Monsters & Misfits III
You have waited over a year, now get ready, because Monsters & Misfits III is coming back this September to Takayama, Japan!
We’ll have more news coming soon, but we have a few new artists joining in the fun, and we can’t wait to show you what our artists have been cooking up for you!
Break Me and I Break Your Finger: Andrew Bell’s ‘Kill Kat #1’ for Bewitching II
Last year, Andrew Bell absolutely NAILED Bewitching with his “Damned Corn” and “Bat Ball” sculpts. And now, the master of the delightfully dark and hilarious returns with the first-ever Kill-Kat, an obvious (albeit carnivorous) interpretation of the Kit-Kat candy bar. So think again before breaking off-a piece — it’s all teeth beneath that chocolately treat!
Kill Kat # 1 stands 5.5 inches and includes a glass dome so you can sleep soundly at night. The magnetic melted base is removable and the wrapper is just awesome.
Bewitching II opens THIS FRIDAY at Stranger Factory! Roughly forty artists from all over the globe under one roof, wielding their uber-artistry in the honor of Halloweenia. Prepare yourselves!
Andrew Bell’s Hatchling for Your Wall
Andrew Bell’s Hatchling is coming to life! This 8.5″ x 6.5″ original painting is ready to go before the next series of androids drops. A perfect gem for all the new and old Bell fans. Available here at Stranger Factory.

Andrew Bell Discusses ‘The Great Escape’
The world of Escape has been without sustainable natural resources for generations, over the years it has slowly become a closed system. The sole remaining source of energy for the inhabitants of Escape is that which is contained within themselves and their existing ecosystem. The ancients of Escape devised a system to harvest that energy which is then stored in liquid and crystalline forms for redistribution. Any waste of that energy, either through malicious actions or accidental deaths, is considered most shameful.
Citizens of Escape are expected to make an honorable sacrifice of their own energy to be harvested at the end of their lives, some families may even sacrifice their youngest children if they are unable to support their existing energy needs. Consume more energy than you are worth, and soon you or your loved ones are marked for judgement.
A thriving black market energy trade endangers the future of Escape.
On a personal level, the themes and imagery of “the Great Escape” chronicles some of my attempts to free myself from the disabling traps of past emotions and memories, to accept a new reality, and to move on from a love and a life left behind.
The Great Escape opens Friday, April 6th, with a reception from 6 to 9pm.
Stranger Factory
109 Carlisle Blvd NE

This double show also features the work of Kelly Denato, and her own personal take on the title “The Great Escape”.
