We almost dropped the ball on announcing this...sorry for the short notice!

Kidrobot's Fatcap Series 3 is releasing this Thursday, January 26. We'll have them online at 10am Central Time, and in store when we open at 11am.

BONUS: While supplies last both online and in-store purchasers of a full case of 20 pieces will receive a free Sket-One variant "Cover the World" Fatcap too! 

Also.....this Thursday night, 6-8pm, we'll have the tables set up and will be hosting a Trading Party. Bring your extra Fatcaps, Dunnys or other figures to trade with other fans and the snacks and sodas are on us! Sugar high!

We've just wrapped up a fantastic opening for new exhibits by Netherland and strawberryluna in the gallery, and all of the pieces are now available for online viewing now too. If you see anything you'd like to grab, just drop us an email and we'll take care of you.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight and of course, super thanks to David "Netherland" van Alphen and Allison and Craig (strawberryluna) for two fantastic shows.

There's a few more photos from the opening after the jump. Thanks!

We've got two new shows opening up in the gallery this Friday, January 13 (good thing we're not superstitious), 7-10PM.

First up....strawberryluna! We've been watching and loving the work of these talented artists/printmakers (strawberryluna is husband-and-wife duo Allison and Craig) from Pittsburgh for years and are excited to have a show with them. They've created a dizzying set of beautiful one-off "test prints" plus two new editioned art prints for this exhibit.

We'll also be hosting an all new set of works by Chicago-based Netherland (aka David van Alphen, who happens to also be our gallery curator). David's retro/70's collage and paint work is always clean, cool and shiny and he'll be showing a BUNCH of new original works, plus "gig posters" created for the show by six *other* artists! Good stuff.

As always, be sure to sign up for our gallery previews email list if you think you'd be interested in purchasing works from either exhibit. The preview emails go out at 10am central time Friday and we begin taking purchase requests at noon that same day. Thanks!

We're happy to announce we'll be hosting artist/creator Huck Gee from 6-8pm on Saturday, January 7 for a book signing. Huck will be signing his new full-color retrospective, The Art of Huck Gee. We'll have the regular edition (red cover) as well as the special signing tour edition (white cover) for just $35, while they last.

NOTE: We will begin handing out LINE TICKETS and selling books beginning when we open at 11am on the day of the signing. Huck usually draws a good size crowd wherever he goes, so PLEASE be sure to come by the store early and get a line ticket and purchase your book ahead of time if you can.

Autumn Call, Ink and Wash on Paper, by LiLJAPAN

One of the things I love about group shows is the variety of styles and techniques. Rising Tide 2, curated by our friend LiLJAPAN (Hiro Hayashi) features the work of Japanese and Japanese-American artists and it's got everything from traditional ink and brush paintings, to papercraft, photography and plush toys. Check it out and let us know if anything strikes your fancy!
