Now that we’ve all digested the hors d’oeuvres from earlier, let’s get on to the full course, shall we?! Presented by the CP film crew and made killer by Brandt Peters and FERG … ladies and gentleman! … this is TRIGGER!
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!
Following their romp in Austin last week with Clay ‘FERG’ Ferguson, the CP film crew returns with a profile from the other side of the TRIGGER line: Brandt Peters! In anticipation of the show’s opening, Kyle and Amie (aka Kamio) recently dropped by Stranger Factory with cameras a-blazin’ to reveal just what makes the CP ringleader tick. Enjoy it (and the funny childhood stories)!
TRIGGER is on view through Jan. 30th at Stranger Factory.
Well now, Amanda Louise Spayd is certainly looking to take 2012 by the horns: introducing new sketches, a sexy site overhaul and now a monthly(ish) newsletter (sign up here), it seems we all have much to look forward to before the apocalypse.
In this first edition, Mandi reveals that she has two solo shows queued up this year — at Rivet and Myplasticheart — and she’s also part of an “amazing show overseas that will be happening in the spring” (I know you guys can guess this!). Indubitably, 2012 will be the year of the critter, with both fabric and resin editions running amuck (bar the refrigerators!).
Humphrey Mooncalf has been struck with the luck of the Irish! ‘Leprechaun’ is the fifth colourway of Dok A’s Mooncalf figure and will be available exclusively through Tomenosuke’s online shop Jan. 8th. Produced by Pobber Toys, he’s an edition of only 70 pieces worldwide. May the Irish luck rub off on you in fetching this release!

This is just freaking insanity. How does this thing even balance?! Since last October, Scott Radke has been sculpting this epic animal totem for filmmaker Morgan Spurlock. A towering 67” tall (5’ 7”!!!), the totem is now complete and Scott is on to the painting stage. Stay tuned, for the saga continues!
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!
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!
Dok A has released the first teaser of a piece he’s crafting for Chet Zar’s Conjoined: II at Copro Nason next month. Folks ‘round these parts say he goes by the name of Lynchworthy …
More info about the show in the flyer below. Looks like the Dok will be in good company with this stellar bill of creative types … click through for more!
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!
