Man of Steel by Mondo x Martin Ansin

Back in June, a little movie called "Man of Steel" hit theatres. Some of you have heard of it. During the media marketing blitz, I came across shots of this poster. I only briefly glanced at them, as I assumed it was just an image a digital graphic artist had released. Little did I know it was a limited edition poster.  Created by the amazingly talented Martin Ansin, this print comes in two variants, the second being made of metal.  

I should have paid closer attention because I ended up missing out on this release, and had to find it on the secondary market. I'm extremely excited to say, I've finally obtained a copy! Needless to say, I'll be paying closer attention to Mondo's releases from here on out. 

Huck Gee reveals Kikio's Courier Sevice

Huck Gee has taken wraps off his next set and it's a doozie!  Titled 'Kokio's Courier Service' this is Huck's most complex, detailed set to date. This massive set will arrive packaged in a hand assembled and laser etched wooden box and then packed into a shipper.  I really appreciate the little details in this piece; namely the bunny hat, twine accents, weapons, sleeping roll, and switches on the car dashboard. I wonder if the steering wheel works? 

Don't expect to get this one for cheap tho.  Limited to 10 pieces, Kokio is priced at $3500 apiece!! I think the only thing more astounding is that this will still sell out super quick!

-from Huck Gee's newsletter

Well, over 9 months later, here she is... Kokio.

"When you need speed, skills, discretion and the best simply isn't good enough. When your  job requires a minimum of questions, had to be there yesterday and your life may or may not be riding upon that fact. When you need a bad ass motherfucking wasteland rat wearing giant pink bunny ears waving around a samurai sword in a bagged all wheel drive desert buggy... you call Kokio's Delivery Service.

Kokio will personally meet you in a ramshackle wasteland tavern to discuss any necessary details over the establishment's din of whores, bikers and a piano player. She will then ask no impertinent questions and will offer her 100% satisfaction guaranteed delivery to the time and place of your choosing. She will carefully pack your fragile contents into an Albatross Secure Seal Case™ and strap it into her air stabilized Desert Rat 1200. And if you are at all concerned about the Northern Wastes most notorious motorcycle gang that you pissed off back in Old Hoots Crossing getting a hint that this delivery is in fact one of the last remaining copies of 'Hell On Wheels' season 3? Well Kokio can take care of that too."

This has been one long and complicated journey. I've tested new techniques, pushed my own personal limits and invested an ungodly amount of time, money and resources into this. While I knew it was going to be a large endeavor when I started, I didn't quite foresee exactly just how much time and resources this was going to consume. And as it currently sits, Kokio's Courier Service is now my most complex and detailed set to date, and it is huge. 

Kokio's Courier Service will be signed, numbered, include all shown accessories and comes padded and packaged in its own hand assembled and laser etched wooden box and then boxed within another shipping box. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. Also, due to the amount of work and materials involved in creating these, the turnaround time on delivering this piece will be 5-6 weeks. 

Only 10 will be produced, $3500 each.

Kokio will be my final set for 2013. 

These will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Anyone interested, please email sales@huckgee.com ASAP to reserve your figure and make payment arrangements.

Dunny Evolved : Huck Gee 2

Revealed on the kidrobot blog, is their next stage of Huck Gee's evolutionary set. Following up his previous teaser, we have the next evolution in his apparent law enforcement theme. I'm a fan of the crisp lines on his work, and this is no exception!  Dunny Evolved is shaping up to be quite a line! 

The Way Back by Alison Woodward

Alison Woodward has put together something... fantasitically macabre.  Her very first art multiple, "The Way Back," released by Von Zos. This piece is amazing in it's grotesque fantasy and detail. The piece consists of a complex, three-dimensional, free-standing statuary constructed from individual pieces of printed 24 pt cardstock. The piece is precision laser-cut and stands approximately five inches tall by seven inches wide when fully assembled. The pieces come housed in a custom-made foam enclosure within a box which itself is an extension of the free-standing piece as the box’s exterior artwork echoes the art and themes of the statuary inside.Additionally, each piece comes with a specially produced wishbone charm.  The Way Back is produced in a limited edition of 20 and is signed and numbered by the artist.

Dunny Evolved teasers continued ... With Huck Gee

Here we go.  Kidrobot has teased the latest design in their Dunny Evolved line. Revealing one  of three stages designed by artist, Huck Gee. This series might be an evolution of some kind of police or military force? At least that's what we're guessing here at CBT, based on the teaser and the silhouettes. So far, I'm really liking the KRONK series best, but they're all great! I'm sure there'll be more teasers and updated up until the Ocotoboer 10th release date. What do you think of the Huck Gee designs?

Angry Woebots OG Panda King Chopper Head

Angry Woebots has a new work, the OG Panda King Chopper Head! Teased by Silent Stage, this is a special one indeed! This incarnation of my favorite angry panda is 14" tall, chin to crown and an extremely short run. 6 pieces wall be made, each hand panted by the legend himself.
