Pink Panda Y'all

 A young Street Artist gal from Winnipeg, goes by the name PINK PANDA. Met her at some Comic Conventions here in Winnipeg and I just had to have some of her work.  Check it out.

After she's used up a spray can, she then paints on it. I've never seen anything like it, so I had to have one. Then the next time I saw her I got another one.

CHRIS CHUCKRY says Happy Halloween and so do I. Chris is an illustrator and comic book colorist who has worked for all the major comic book companies. He lives here in Winnipeg. I love his little illustrations and I wanted to share a few here with you. You can see more of his work on a few of his web sites. Start here at Spookeasy !

Below is a set of stickers Chris made from some of his work. He probably still has some so I bet if you asked him, he would be happy to send you some.

Who are you Green Monster?

Here are some fun monster stickers that were wrapped around some candy. I think it was a block of taffy on a stick. The outer packages were hard to open without them ripping to shreds and the stickers inside mostly stuck to the candy. I don't remember the name of the candy nor could I find anything out about them except that the company Dos en Uno is a Chilean candy manufacturer owned by the Argentinian food producer Arcor.

Yesterday Monster Today Artwork

MADE IN TAIWAN - This is all I know about these crazy puffy monster stickers. They are not that luminous and neither was my search in providing any more information. No company name. Obviously these were knocked-off in hopes of cashing in on some monster trend. But aren't monsters always trendy? It's also oversees companies that are trying to figure out what we western kids are really into.  I acquired an almost full box of these many years ago. I imagine they are from the early 70's. They were loose in the box but it looks like they were hand cut from a larger sheet.

In my search I found a more recent printing and package of these from 1989, where they are all on one sheet. Also I found someone who has a collection of small plastic masks of which some of them are these figures, like  I-Oneman and Mechelus. Who are these creatures? Are these 'new' creatures thought up by the artist who also had to redraw the classic monsters for the sticker company in Taiwan that they were working for of which later the designs became classics unto their own. I love all the designs, except for the Wicked Witch, but I suppose it's good to have at least one female monster in the bunch. Men are all the real monsters. I would love to see some of these designs blown up and printed on t-shirts, especially the Mummy, Mechelus and the slightly transy Frankenstein. They are very naive drawings, but as the way that contemporary illustrators are working these days, these drawings are right in the times. Another question, What's with the flowery, fruity graphic on the side front of the box?
