Press Statement From: RECKLESS TOYS

This is the first look at punk-fantasy artist Mike Sutfin’s designs for his first original toy, the MadBattleMan, which will be available from Reckless Toys in winter 2009. A sneak peek at the prototype for the toy took place at San Diego Comicon at the Toy Tokyo booth, on Thursday, July 23! The left and center images are from the postcard that was given out at Mike Sutfin’s signing; on the far right is a shot of the prototype. (Check our Flickr account for more detailed shots.) Sculpted by Scott Wetterschneider of Big Shot Toy Works, the final toy will stand at 9.25 inches tall and will be available via Reckless Toys’ web site and select retailers in the United States and Japan. This is the first of many toys to come from Reckless!

Mike Sutfin x Rumble Monsters Handpainted Entity 13 for SDCC 2009

Rumble Rumble!! From Toybot Studios:



Another shocker for SDCC, didn't even see this one coming! MIKE SUTFIN gets robotic on this RUMBLE MONSTERS ENTITY 13 HANDPAINT. Being introduced during the PUSHEAD event at TOY TOKYO on Thursday July 23rd, Mike will lay out quite a few of these handpainted beauties. The detail is insane! Mike just seems to know how to exceptionally apply paint to RUMBLE MONSTERS vinyl figures...it just keeps getting better. Each one has hand brushed detail, carefully and meticuously added over a painted base. Be there for the unveiling...then start crying. Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming....SUTFIN and PUSHEAD HANDPAINTS at SDCC... brain overload!









The story goes that this Entity 13 crushed the skull of an enemy with his mighty sledgehammer and all of the demons were released and started to take over the robot's body and making the 13 a demon possessed mecha monster!

The Filth and the Fury

A mysterious package arrives, return address: 'Lando Calrissian'. Once open, it's understood that the talented artist I met in NYC Halloween 2k7, Kostas Seremetis was the true mastermind behind this cannibalized toy creation! Why it was sent, why why why? At this point it's still unclear, but the fact he decided to send it to me is like listening to both the Rocky and Karate Kid theme-songs at once. Permission granted to post these images. Enjoy my good friends, enjoy.

Thrash Detective

It's been ages since I've watched the video for 'Institutionalized'. I just now noticed that the actor that plays Mike Muir's Dad in the video is none other than Jack Nance? (Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, Meatballs 4 (haha)). I don't care how many times I hear this song it still gets the heart pumping.

Hiro Grim

I am sad to hear Japanese artist Hiro Grim passed away at 35. Admittedly, I am new to his work, but I was very impressed by his stark black and white illustrations and cool hand lettering. R.I.P.

New Skateboard Graphics Collection

The cover for Foundation's epic skate film 'Cataclysmic Abyss' was split in two for 2 limited skateboard decks in 2007. To my surprise, they were featured in a new book on skateboard graphics.







A friend sent me this video clip of Foundation Pro Gareth Stehr speaking from the shadows about the evolution of the Cataclysmic Abyss. Figured now is a good time to post it. I didn't know he drew the original logo:

Move:18-Listen with Your Ears and Eyes Wide Open, This Time

Artist and curator Rich Jacobs, gathered a group of artists to fill up the gallery walls at the Park Life Gallery in SF for his recent conception called Move:18 - Listen with Your Ears and Eyes Wide Open, This Time. The show is about sound, music, noise and will feature a large range of work including photography, dimensional, paintings and drawings. Some of these works create a lot of sound on their own. Excited about my company here.
