Marko Zubak

August 8, 2011 - by baykiddead
There are paper toys, and then there are papertoy monsters, and then there's Marko Zubak [aka YeboMaycu.] Marko makes papertoy monster art. In fact, you can dispense with the whole papertoy thing and cut straight to the chase. It's art, pure and simple. And the form he's been exploring since 2007 with the original Pinn Guin [an actual penguin] has yielded some delicious design within a shape that's at once engaging and classic. Familiar yet original. 

Blind Cowboy & Ghost Horse

We don't post as much 3A stuff on our blog as we probably should do, and personally i think they produce so many figures nobody could possibly own them all without committing financial suicide. Enough about my 3A issues cos this Blind Cowboy & Ghost Horse by Ashley Wood is awesome.

This one's been a long time coming, though really i guess most Kidrobot projects have been in the idea stage for a looong time but the UK series was quite a while ago now, back in Jan 2009! So thank god this dunny has come out lookin awesome and isn't an exact replica of the Rainy Day Dunny Triclops designed back then.

If you're in NYC this evening (Fri 5th Aug) you have no excuse to not run over to Brooklyn's Cotton Candy Machine, for a Buff Monster and Jeremyville extravaganza. Two of the nicest guys in art and toys, get together for a night of celebration, both in attendance at the event!! If you are planning to buy some goodies, you should make sure you get over there fast, openings at The Cotton Candy are very busy and artwork sells out fast..... you have been warned! Opening Reception 7 to 11pm

When Worlds Collide

August 4, 2011 - by baykiddead
Marshall Alexander has a way with paper. More than just static figures, his characters are always doing something. I first noticed this with his contributions to Papertoy Monsters. Whereas every other figure in that book was content with "being," Marshall wanted his to be doing. His latest production continues that theme. As a new contributor for Planet Pulp, he's been asked to add his effort to the monthly theme of "fake travel posters."
