Check out one of the latest customs from WuzOne, it’s ANOTHER Coarse Toys Paw!
“A custom mix between arabesque style with graff and a little touch of my personal madness”
This commission has been hand painted using acrylics and markers for a collector. It’s going to look very nice in their collection!
We reported last month about the “Coarse Exhibition – Glimpse of Truth” that was being hosted by Rotofugi. Well the event is now well underway and we’ve been sent a load of press release photos from the guys at Coarse! The exhibition looks awesome!
“German artists Mark Landwehr and Sven Waschk have returned to Chicago to present their latest work for coarse, the solo exhibition, “glimpse of truth” at the Rotofugi Gallery.
The exhibition reveals the artists’ latest sculptures, photographs and paintings. For the first time coarse shows the full life cycle of their characters, unveiling a story of false and fragile friendships within a life of meaninglessness.
The pieces on display include 1:1 statues (fiberglass) of noop and paw as embryos, as well as an almost lyrical piece “false friends in pain”, depicting the characters in the last seconds of their friendship. Visitors can also view a multitude of resin sculptures, several large format hand painted canvases, photographic works and a spectrum of original art objects that give new light to the future of coarse.
All pieces shown at the exhibition are hand crafted by the artists in their studios in Hamburg (Germany) and Hong Kong, and are accompanied by original music composed especially for “glimpse of truth”.”

Limited to a total production run of only 840 pieces, that means each color is limited to only 120 pieces.

Spotted this recently over on the Kidrobot Forums, what a beauty! It’s one of the latest customs from Lunabee. I’m loving the yellow fur ontop of the purple body, the contrast works really well. You can see that there has been some serious time invested into this piece but I would say it’s certainly been worth it! Excellent work.
“I named him Silvanus, a protector of the forests and wildlife.”
Want one of these? This was a commission for some lucky son of a gun so you will have to get in touch with Lunabee if you would like one of your own!
We just got news that these crazy guys are going to be dropping at this years San Diego Comic Con! Light em’ Up!

Matt JOnes aka Lunartik asks you to get your kettle on once again for his new competition about why you love tea so much and what it means to you!
In 2009, Matt unleashed his first series of vinyl toys called, ‘Lunartik in a Cup of Tea’.
This year Matt has been working around the clock and has developed his first
‘Mini Series of ‘Lunartik in a Cup of Tea’ Called ‘I LOVE TEA’

Image above: Lunartik 2009 packaging design, Lunartik Large series one + take a break message.
Series One, The Collector’s Edition
Matt’s first toy carried a message that he wanted to share with all you tea lovers out there.
His message was ‘Take a Break’ Have a lovely cup of tea. Matt tells me the meaning to the message, “How its best to always take a break once in a while to help refresh your mind.”
and well, lets face it, you can’t beat a good brew can you!
