Double Walters On The Dime

I have to take a minute to mention that there are two great Walters participating in GARAMANIACAL: header card/video art master Walter Parenton, and someone who just got on board in the last few days, the esteemed sculptor Walter Chauskoskis.

The severely kickass new Garamania header logo above? Walter Parenton delivered that magic, as well as a GARAMANIACAL version that you’ll see here and @ FOE, as we get closer to the show. Full Garamonic salute to Mr. Parenton; awesome work, man.

Chauskoskis has been on fire for a while now; he is perhaps best known for being the clay-pusher being the figural realization of Jeff Lamm’s Greasebat.  (Have you seen his recent Kung Fu-stance, betailed Greasebat custom? WOW…) Walter C. is a major fan of Garamon, I’m delighted to have him on the roster, and I can’t wait to see what he does!

GARAMANIACAL opens Friday, February 10th at FOE Shop & Gallery in Northampton, MA.
Be there as this cozy little corner of the Northeastern US becomes the center of the Garaverse!

Coloring contest entry

Here's one your ol' pal The Proprietor did; of course, I can't win my own prizes, but this one (and any more I can squeak out before opening night, as time allows) will be going in the show to benefit the MSPCC.

This one's all paint markers and spray cans and wrapping paper, for fong's sake!  As I said, ANYTHING GOES!!!  And you could win AWESOME GARAMON TOYS for your submission!

Work it any way you wanna... keeping your finished piece half a standard page in size is the only rule!

Kaiju For Japan

Kaiju collector and customizer Troy Stith is currently organizing the Kaiju For Japan drive. 
Troy is looking for contributions of custom toys and other original kaiju-related art which will be sold online, with all proceeds being sent directly to the Japanese Red Cross.  Over 55 contributors are on board thus far, including some heavy hitters of the custom kaiju world; it's going to be a great selection of goods! 
The proprietor will be contributing this recently completed Ultraman Max Pygmon:

The details of the sale are still being hammered out (it remains to be seen whether pieces will be posted at fixed prices or auctioned), but Troy has set Thursday, 4/14 as the due date for contributions, and Friday, 4/22 as the date of the sale launch.  I'll post further details as they become available; you can also keep an eye on Troy's blog, or email him directly at troystith at hotmail dot com.
