Wooooah!! as you may know, The Elder Things needed someone or some "Thing" to carry out their mundane duties and such...What does an Elder Scientist do? make a race of hideous amorphous and submissive slaves...a roiling mass of hideous subservient intent...well A Shoggoth can only put up with so many millenia of slavery and then well..an uprising of course!! Shoggoth Slaves can get together and take over the massive psyclopean ruins just beyond the Mountains of Madness where they can hang out and eat the remains of Giant eyeless penguins and Elder Thing Corpses...This is a follow up to last months figure as they go together nicely...next month we have a more humanoid figure that is going to knock your socks off..Jay 222 is kicking ass, as you can see from this sculpt...this figure is going to be more expensive because it is bigger...7 inches tall and heavy and wide...5 and a half inches wide...the largest one so far...it will be $125.00 plus $15 for shipping, $20-$25 if you are out of the country...these go on sale Monday april 30th at noon!
My show..."THE UNDERMINING SATANIC ENERGIES OF AN INCONGRUENT SUBURBAN SICKNESS" is opening at The Cotton Candy Machine in New York on April Friday the 13th 2012...in a few weeks...This show is going to have a few different types of Monstrous deformities...small Paintings, that are a chance to afford a portrait or scenario from the psychedelic Nightmare of social and emotional disparity narrative that I have been weaving for years now...as well as strange masks that will be $300....the paintings range from $100 to $300 to $800...After this I will not be making as many smaller affordable pieces as I have an urge to really give myself time and space to find a new more dedicated path to increasing my skills as an artist and person...I will be trying to push myself very far into the unknown to see what strange circumstances I can tether myself too...Im thinking..Epic and transformative...That being said..I really love New York and had alot of fun doing these paintings to bring there.I wanted to do something accessible and affordable..small portraits of godless creatures as well as paintings of absurd notion regarding this mishapen world and how I see it...24 paintings and 8 masks..I will be doing an installation as well as showing a video of the short film I had the chance of working on called Vizh-uhn..an animated nightmare I worked on with Marcella Ernest and Walter Parenton... a film of strange transformation and dreams...here are a few of the paintings and masks that will be at the show...I will also have my book, prints, and shirts there...

"Brown Jenkins" Figure Release! Lovecraft Education Project!!!
02.16.12 | Art | Share this on Facebook →"That object - no larger than a good-sized rat and quaintly called by the townspeople "Brown Jenkins - seemed to have been the fruit of a remarkable case of sympathetic herd-delusion, for in 1692 no less than eleven persons had testified to glimpsing it. There were recent rumours, too, with a baffling and disconcerting amount of agreement. Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch's blood, which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages. Of all the bizarre monstrosities in Gilman's dreams, nothing filled him with greater panic and nausea than this blasphemous and diminutive hybrid, whose image flitted across his vision in a form a thousandfold more hateful than anything his waking mind had deduced from the ancient records and the modern whispers."
.He is 4 and a half inches tall and ready to gnaw on your tendons...only 10 in existence and $100 plus $10 for shipping in the states.....here is a link to where you can buy them...I will be releasing them Monday Februaru 20th at noon....
