Brute Jonny

He came and went. This is the version of Danny offered to everyone who’s signed up for my newsletter. Each box is hand drawn. Sales ended at midnight tonight. Thank you so very much to everyone who was able to grab one! They will be shipping over the next few weeks!

Here is a look at the toys that will be on display at the Unbridled Lambency exhibition at Double Punch in San Francisco. I will also have a handful of pencil drawings on display as well. If you’re there in person, you can buy both issues of my new zine Boy Germs and pinback buttons at the merch table. Show opens August 15th, reception at 7pm. Please contact Double Punch with sales inquiries. Check out the flyer here.

This is sort of a token post for Bobby version 2. He went on sale yesterday (but is now sold out). I meant to post here beforehand, but things have been so hectic ahh!!! Many many thanks to everyone that’s giving him a new home! Orders should ship out sometime next week. Thanks again everyone!

One of my latest projects, Gruff House, launched earlier this week. It’s a community/store that caters to handmade artists toys. There are lots of great artists involved, and we are always looking for new talent. You can purchase one of my older toys, Simon (the calculator) there as well. www.gruffhouse.com

This is my haul for San Diego Comic Con this year. Scouts! They will be available at Cardboard Spaceship Booth #3521. (note: I won’t be there in person this year. Sorry folks, maybe next year!)

I made a few custom figures for the Cardboard Spaceship booth at San Diego Comic Con this year. This year’s theme is scouts.

I’m releasing version 1 of Danny on Monday, June 15th at 1pm (west coast). All the details are in my shop. Each box is hand drawn!

Update (June 15th): Danny is now sold out. Thank you to everyone that promoted him, and special thanks to those who picked one up. You guys are awesome!!

Bobby will be available tomorrow exclusively at Rotofugi. You can buy him in store or online. Check the Rotofugi website for more info! Huge thanks to Kirby and Whitney at Rotofugi for making this happen!! <3 <3 <3

The first edition of my latest toy Bobby is finished and is on his way to Rotofugi. This variant is a Rotofugi exclusive and will only be available there. He will be available in their shop shortly. I’ll send out the newsletter once I know when he’s for sale.

So I’m on a new adventure with handmade toys. I’m starting a website that will be a retail outlet for handmade artist-produced toys. We’ll also have resources for people interested in making their own toys or finding out more information on their favorite toy artists, as well as a blog to keep folks up to date. We are currently looking for people that are interested in selling their toys in the shop. They must be handmade, and you must own all of the rights to the artwork (this also excludes custom Munny’s, Qee’s, etc.). If you’re interested, please e-mail us at mail@gruffhouse.com or check out the website: Gruffhouse.com. (We are not accepting plush or soft toys at this time, sorry!) We’re aiming to launch in the beginning of July 2009. You can sign up for our mailing list on the site if you want regular updates in your e-mail box about additions to the shop.

Hope to hear from some of you!
