We all wear Masks

I was visiting Guppy Design in Winnipeg when I saw the third of what was to be four screen printed monster faces. Wow, they were so cool, I had to inquire. Craig Medwyduk the principal at Guppy was doing a set of 4 faces from these tiny halloween masks. He scanned them and did the separations then printed them when he had extra time through the JUMBO SHOW POSTER division of Guppy just for kicks. It took awhile for the 4th one (skull) to get completed. At times he would be all ready to print, then a job would come along requiring the screens. I kept pestering him as I was pretty anxious to have a set....and here they are. They are not on the website yet but I'm sure you can give Craig a call and get some Today!

All Posters are printed on white heavy paper stock 19 x 25 inches in an edition of 25. You can get them individually or as a set.

Cosmic Creatures - They Need You

     Every now and then I like to sculpt things. I had some gold and silver metallic Sculpty sitting around for years and the color reminded me of these 2 inch plastic figures I used to get out of Shreddies cereal (made by Nabisco......which used to be National Biscuit Company)  in the seventies. So I thought of making some blobby creatures with my minimal skill level. Six is all I got done. They sat hidden away for a couple years until I made a box package to put them in.

 

     This is a box package I made for them that I designed and silk screened myself in 2008. Each box contains one original figure and a whole set of six 'trading' cards of all the Cosmic Creatures with their powers. There are six of these packages that each have one original sculpted figure. There are no reproductions. I have 3 out of the 6 to sell. Or I could sell you a empty box or I could sell you a set of the trading cards because I printed a lot more of those.

Merinuk's Huge Brains

Aside from Merinuk's poster making abilities he may also have a huge brain. I'm not sure. I do know that he does have a huge collection of posters and vinyl covers that he's made throughout the years.

 

Here are a couple fabulous posters worthy of Smashmonster. The Misfists poster is from last year and my copy is a huge silk screen that I was lucky enough to stumble across while visiting my friend Frieso Boning who owns Omniscreen, who are the ones that printed this. The Brains is from right now and is all over Winnipeg as a 11 x 17 poster. I hope there is a large SS version as well. Love that Yellow, Green and Black combo. Good job! You can find Darren on Facebook.
