The middle of the week has me checking in with artists who either carry art toys with mph or have been involved in mph art exhibits. So, let’s have a look at what’s going on with a handful of MPH artists.

Rabid, Wild & Docile artist Ben Walker wrote an informative article on his blog about designing a booth space at cons, specifically using his experience at SDCC. With 6 years of con experience under his belt, Ben gives a humble but worthwhile look at planning and implementing a head-turning booth experience.

Scott Tolleson is featured in an article in Divulge magazine. Nice one, Scott!

Noferin give us a close look at Anna Chambers’ work for the Jibibuts Artist Series – coming soon to mph!

Leontine Greenberg is working on a fetus puppet! Whoa!

Rabid, Wild & Docile artist, Michael C. Hsiung has a cool new shirt design you probably want to buy. And by “you”, I mean “I”.

And certainly not least… mphlabs x Squibbles Ink x Shawnimals are releasing a new Pocket Pork Mini series! Looking good! What do you think?

Happy Thursday!

SDCC 2011 Line Up – Day 2

El Bandito Muerto by Jesse Hernandez

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Jesse Hernandez unveils his outlaw of death – El Bandito Muerto. Fully armed and ominous, this malevolent 8-inch black and grey pistol-packing bandit blends Hernandez’ signature indigenous style with a seriously dark and edgy street vibe.  The removable sombrero and sculpted detailed serape lay claim to Bandito’s and Hernandez’ own Mexican roots, but the colossal sculpted sneakers and somber six-shooter are less than subtle clues to this mean muerto’s approach to life and death on the streets. Limited to only 250 pieces at $100 Jesse will be signing from 1-3pm.

Super Ninja Plush by Shawnimals

The fun doesn’t stop on Day 2 as Ninjatown creator Shawnimals will be gracing Kidrobot’s Booth 4529 for an super-duper signing for the release of his KR Exclusive Super Ninja plush from 4-6pm. Limited to 50 pieces, this 7-inch cuddily hero will cost $22.99 and will be flying off the shelves. So don’t miss out.
