The masks are tied. The ring is roped. The tights are tight, and the eggs are flying. Eggs are flying?
Chris Ryniak is about to jump off the top rope into The Beast Brothers’s Lucha Libre! show at Rotofugi. This big grinned sculpture is all about wrestling and eggs apparently. From all the development images we can see why this guy is so happy.
Lucha Libre! opens Oct. 5th! at Rotofugi in Chicago.
Chris Ryniak is pulling off the molds it seems for a few more Nuggleworts to be born. First seen as customs for OhNo!Doom’s Septenary sculptural show back in July, look for these guys to scurry into your hearts this December at Stranger Factory’s Circus Annual: a Circus Posterus group exhibit. More details and pics soon.
We previously told you about Holly Stanway aka A Little Stranger show “Cavey’s American Cousins” here and here. Now we get a fresh teaser of what Chris Ryniak’s contribution will be. This plush show is going to be stuffed with goodness. (Yes I said stuffed).

Chris Ryniak’s original 15″ x 12″acrylic on panel piece called “High Pressure System” is available now in the Stranger Factory store. These big eyed guys are waiting to adorn a wall of any fan’s place, and with Chris blowing up across the globe, it won’t last long for $900.
Holly Stanway aka A Little Stranger is giving her colonial cousins each a crack at creating a one-off plush Cavey that culminates in a one night only pop up plush show! These pieces will come forth at a properly named event called “Cavey’s American Cousins” on November 10 in Hollywood,CA. The US artists get a chance at creating a Cavey design of their own and then made into one-off plushes by Holly herself. All the pieces will be auctioned off starting Saturday, November 3rd and ending at the Pop-Up Art show on the 10th. The artists included in the stuffing consists of 64 Colours, The Beast Brothers, Chris Ryniak, Camilla d’Errico, DrilOne, Frank Kozik, Luke Chueh, Mochi Mochi, Onell Design, Scott Tolleson, Sket-One and Angry Woebots. The year keeps getting better and better it seems.

Go ahead and get in line because this is gonna be big.
Those lovable twins known as The Beast Brothers are bringing their high flying antics to Chicago very soon with Lucha Libre! They will have all kinds of customs and new work ready when the bell rings, but they are also bringing a federation of superstars to have their back. The talent also in this bout includes: Angry Woebots, our own Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas, Chris Ryniak, BurunDANGA, Huck Gee, Eric Merrill, Jime Litwalk, J*Ryu, Kronk, Junko Mizuno, Phil Young, Scribe, Shawnimals, Shane Jessup, and many more.
Lucha Libre opens Friday October 5 at Rotofugi.
Be sure the mask isn’t covering your eyes because the Circus Posterus blog has some sneak peaks in store for you so keep checking back.
Chris has been keeping us updated from his monster den on some of the creatures he is creating, and one of them seems to be a hybrid mega monster of epic epicness!!! It seems the “Crumblegut” has been born! We have some of his progress pics of the development below. From the images, this seems to be the genetic mutation of the crumbeater and bubblegut into a super monster that snatches your candycorn or maybe this relationship is like Masterblaster from Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome. Well, whatever this lil fella is, he will be making his grand entrance at Bewitching II, opening Oct. 5 at Stranger Factory.
The Circus has landed in Paris and set up’s in full swing in preparation for the opening of Le Carnaval des Spectres this evening at Artoyz Shop + Galerie. My friends, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for!
Many of you are probably wondering how the preview will work and the short answer is “just like Monsters & Misfits”. Those who attend the opening will get first dibs and then all remaining pieces will be available for purchase online HERE around 10-11pm Paris time TONIGHT (4-5pm Eastern, 1-2pm Pacific, today) .
Some advice from Yann-Claude at Artoyz:
“Please note that all orders from non-EU countries won’t pay the French VAT (19,6%).
The final price will be adjusted (as well as the shipping costs) once you mentioned your Delivery Address during your order. That’s why we suggest to create an account and log-in before you shop.”
Good luck, gang!
It’s official! Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters have just put the finishing touches on their last custom pieces for Le Carnaval des Spectres, which means the CP crew is DONE! [Insert collective sigh of relief here.]
Kathie wrapped up the beautiful “Shadow” Calliope Jackalope a couple days ago and admittedly, I’m sort of grateful … these little ladies have been teasing me for months; they’re mesmerizing and even more so in person. And as I’m sure you’ve noticed, they’re in good company with a few Grieving Greeters and Dark Wippos, which we’ll talk about very soon.
And then there’s Brandt’s final figure, which quite honestly bombed my inbox earlier this week. It’s freaking awesome, gang, and I don’t even know if I can share it. It’s all insane and Kaiju style and painted with a freaking airbrush.
Aw hell, I’ll give you a teaser. BUT THAT’S IT!
… Did I mention it’s a collaboration with Chris Ryniak? And just wait; this guy gets even better. Alas, I can say no more (and if you don’t hear from me tomorrow I’ve been fired :D). Almost all of the custom figures for this exhibition have remained a secret, lurking in the depths, eagerly awaiting opening night. Stay tuned … the curtain will be up before you know it.
Le Carnaval des Spectres opens Sept. 13th through Oct. 20th at Artoyz Shop + Galerie in Paris, France. The exhibition includes new works from Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Travis Louie, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Louise Spayd, and Teodoru Badiu.
