Chicago artist Tony Rabit takes over the gallery in October for a Garden Party! We're enamored with Tony's beautifully streamlined work (both prints from digital illustrations and paintings) and hope you love it as much as we do.
Garden Party
New Works by Tony Rabit
Opening Reception Friday, October 16, 7-10pm
Tony will be in attendance at the opening reception and, yep, we'll have free sodas and snacks plus music by DJ Sean Doe.
Exhibit continues through November 8, 2015.
Designed and Sculpted by Chris Ryniak and produced by Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi, the Figgle Bits are three cuter than cute little monsters ready to invade your heart! We'll have a new color available on our online store starting this coming Tuesday, October 13. Stay tuned for further details.
No matter where you fall on the great Candy Corn Debate, there's no denying that this is a sweet toy!
This hand-painted version of the 4-inch tall vinyl figure was designed by Frank Kozik and produced by Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi. Jerome is articulated in one place (at the cone) and, should you want him to kick his smorkin' habit, comes with a completely removable smork accessory!
Candy Corn Jerome is a limited and numbered edition of 50 pieces, 25 of which will be available exclusively from Clutter Magazine's NYCC booth #603 with the remainder being released on rotofugi.com on Tuesday, October 13th for those that can't make it to NYCC.
Get yourself a sweet seasonally-appropriate treat for only $19.95!
Thanks Rotofugi Secret Agent Man Edward Gielow for the color way idea!
