Forest Sprites...

2009-04-26T19:32:00.009-04:00

1 of 3 (Pink, Natural and Blue) hand-painted custom Munnys from 64 Colors. These multi-colored, forest creatures practice the patch selection theory... the behavior of a forager whose prey is concentrated in small areas with a significant travel time between them. These colorful creatures live and work in large, nomadic communities. Always on the move searching for sustenance and a better existence for their clan. More pictures available at our flickr. :)

Natural Beauty

2009-04-23T08:00:00.003-04:00

In keeping with our love of nature, a new series of customs based on our renditions of forest dwelling creatures, nymphs and sprites. Natural Beauty is hand painted in acrylic. More in the works! :) Additional pics and other customs can be seen at our Flickr.

Woody... an I.W.G. Custom

2009-03-25T21:19:00.007-04:00

Woody... A fully evolved and extremely dangerous killing machine. Do not be fooled by his cute and cuddly demeanor. Enter their forest lair and be prepared as they descend upon their victims unseen and unannounced. Is it a tree or is it a bear?... Actually both! Woody are quite selective in their choice of prey. Brownies and Girl Scouts are a favorite meal especially during cookie selling season. Watch as it's victim slowly dissolves in what is literally a knot, that is his stomach. Delicious with a “Thin Mint” and a glass of milk! Be on the look out and see for yourselves at the I.W.G. Custom Art Show on April 10 at Blue 77 Gallery!

This is a chair (really a piece of art) that is so cool and comfortable. Released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company. My Dad has one and whenever I visit, I sit down, have a drink and relax. This chair is... a work of art... perfection!

Park my Puyo outside or, Smart car—and I'm good to go. Less is more!

Die happy!

2009-03-19T20:57:00.008-04:00

PUYO... The “Marshall of Cars”.

'PUYO' is a Japanese onomatopoeia that expresses the sensation of touching the vehicle's soft body. It is meant to convey a warm, friendly impression.

A perfect car for wandering about Europe or Japan ( where it might actually show up). For the U.S. market, no. It couldn't take a direct hit from an SUV but, I'd take my chances. Ford gets it and soon GM will be forced to follow or not.

Lake Monsters!

2009-03-10T19:29:00.006-04:00

A new toy from Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi! Big Muscamoot designed and sculpted by Chris Ryniak. This monster was seen in southern Lake Erie near the Cleveland, Ohio area. If you are in the area and see the creature, do not approach it….sources have yet to determine the nature of creature’s temperment. Experts also fear the “Lake Monster” may be carrying a contagion. Stay tuned for additional details. For more info, go to: theLakeMonsters.com.

Marshall Series 01 Wax Sculpt

2008-11-02T07:32:00.008-05:00

Here is the wax sculpt for the Marshall vinyl toy. It looks just like the illustration only better as it's 3D and you can pick it up and hold it in your hand. Joe Somers of Squibbles, Ink did an amazing job on the sculpt. We went through many rounds and he made a flat drawing come alive... very cool! Squibbles, Ink + Rotofugi (thank you Kirby and Whitney) are handling the production and are hoping for a release before the holidays. The graphics are done... the packaging's done, so it's now in the hands of the factory in Asia. Needless to say we're excited and can't wait to see the finished marshmallow man.
