NEXT CUSTOM ANGRY CLOBBER MONKEY!

The Next Custom Angry Clobber Monkey the WWII Soviet ACM. Russia had it’s own armor division of ACM’s.







These will also be at SDCC Munky King booth 4539. I got a couple more to show before SDCC.

MORE ACM CUSTOMS!

More customs rolling out! Here's another one, the German Afrika Korps ACM. It is not widely known that during world war 2 the German armor division put into service several captured Angry Clobber Monkeys on the front lines in Northern Africa.





The ACM's were liberated at the end of the war. It is rumored that a Russian ACM was seen near hitler's bunker when he allegedly committed suicide.
The official release of the standard ACM will be September 10th at Munky King in Los Angeles. More details to come. At Comic Con we will have a variety of my hand made customs. Keep checking the blog for peeks all this week!

MEET JACK HOWE!

My good friend and genius assemblage artist Jack Howe was in town this weekend.
He dropped by my studio with his effervescent wife Trudy to visit, and take a few pics of his latest work.  These pieces are what Jack calls “Pocket Shrines”  Jack has a talent for finding the most amazing trinkets and bizarre antique curiosities them transforming them into story art.



Here’s a few of his latest works that can be seen at Gold Bug in Pasadena.



Jack can describe in great detail how every individual part of the piece tells a story.





Each box opens to reveal an entire scene.







Here, Jack demonstrates the pure escents of low brow art.

ACM CUSTOMS FOR SDCC!

I'm creating a batch of ACM customs for SDCC here's a little sneak of the "So Very Dark" versions. I'm using Wild Fire invisible UV paints.



In regular light they will just appear white on black. I'm hand painting every one so they will all be unique.

YHWH RELEASE!

I just got a link from Ronnie Pirovino from The Art Collectors for the Mark Ryden's YHWH Pre-Order from Porterhouse Fine Art Editions.
I still haven't had the chance to see one of these in person yet, I can't wait!

LOOK WHAT I GOTS!

The very first Angry Clobber Monkey figures have arrived! Here in the back of my car these are just a few that I am customizing for Comic Con San Diego. It is reassuring that they are finally on there way! I'll have some pics of the customs as the are done!

THE RIVET GALLERY!

Had a great time at the Rivet Gallery last weekend. Laura and Scott were fantastic hosts, and the gallery space is amazing. I met a slew of talented local artists, Columbus Ohio has a thriving arts culture in the Short North district. Every first weekend of the the month there’s a arts festival. The crowd was thick and partied late into the night. Not me though, I'm old and went to bed early. Although I had a great surprise visit from my Mom & her husband Jeff, who drove 6 hours from Chicago just to see my little show.


Me and Laura! Pretend my eyes are open.

Me an' Scott!

If you are in the Columbus area, or just in the midwest it’s worth the trip! Also check the art that is still available from the show, and they have an amazing show coming up next month! I will be returning! Thanks again to the whole Rivet Gallery crew!
