The Deadly Spawn Vinyl Figure Kickstarter Campaign by Justin Ishamel

Earlier this week Justin Ishmael launched a Kickstarter campaign to produced his newest officially licensed vinyl figure, The Deadly Spawn! Based on the classic low budget 1983 monster movie of the same name, The Deadly Spawn is being produced under license from producer Ted Bohus and was sculpted by toy legend James Groman (Madballs, My Pet Monster, Barnyard Commandos). What’s really cool about this release is there’s actually two vinyl figures being made – the massive 9” tall Deadly Spawn and a matching 7” long Larvae Deadly Spawn.

La Cage Où Les Gens Pleurent Polystone Resin Bust by Sandra Chevrier x Mighty Jaxx x C.O.A. Galerie x DC Comics

The Blot is a huge fan of Canadian artist Sandra Chevrier’s work. I’ve been kind of obsessed with it ever since I was first introduced to Chevrier and her amazing “Cage Paintings” on Instagram. The way she juxtaposes beautiful female faces with masks of comic book artwork is mesmerizing, and all of her subjects have such mesmerizing gazes! So when I learned Sandra had teamed up with Mighty Jaxx and C.O.A. Galerie to release a polystone resin bust of one of her Cage Paintings my jaw hit the ground! I wasn’t sure how they were going to transform Chevrier’s work into a real life 3D art sculpture, but they absolutely killed it with “La Cage où les gens pleurent”!
