Toy2R Mini Qee Release

The good folks at Toy2R are getting ready to release a new DIY vinyl toy that is a mini version of their staple Qees. Tenacious Toys was in charge of putting together an artist line-up to have some of these pieces fully customized before the release. I was added to that roster, and created the piece you see in the teaser photo below. If you want to see the whole thing, along with about 20 other great custom mini Qees, head over to Yoyamart (New York, NY) on Valentines Day and fall in love with Toy2R's new release!



God bless,

Journey Lost

I have released a limited edition run of just FIVE prints of the illustration "Journey Lost". The original piece is colored pencil on illustration board and measures 4"x6". The prints are 5"x7" and the printed area measures the same size as the original in 4"x6".

These prints are bold, vibrant, and colorful and I am very pleased with how they represent the original. Each one is printed on acid-free, bright white 110lb card stock, each is signed and numbered in the white area below the printed area, and each comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

If you would like to add one to your collection, use this direct link to view the listing on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/listing/60530439/journey-lost-limited-edition-prints

God bless,

Beast Buddies 62 to 73

As a few unfinished paintings and drawings lie about the studio, I'm cranking out the last 1/4 of the Beast Buddies series. I've almost reached that magic 100 mark and realized at number 43 that 100 was awfully ambitious. I can say now with a fair amount of confidence that my future custom sets will be much, much smaller in number. Maybe a dozen or so. Furthermore, it may be a while before I release another blind box series since I have tons of 2D pieces swimming around my brain that I really need to get out. That being said, there are still right at 20 Beast Buddies left that can be yours and in that 20 there are four golden tickets. The ticket for the FREE custom monster mini-Munny has not yet been claimed. If you want to own one of the Beast Buddies before the series is sold out, head over to my Etsy Shop.

In addition to the Beast Buddies I am working on a few customs for NYCC 2010. The pieces will be offered up by Tenacious Toys at booth #2878 and are being created exclusively for NYCC. They will not be revealed anywhere prior.

A new T-shirt design is in the works and will hopefully be available within the next month or two. I have just 2 smalls and 5 XLs of Living Through Empty if you are interested in them. All sizes are still available in the Coffee Girl shirts, but they are very limited.

I really hope to put aside some time soon to do a new video blog. I received a lot of great feedback from the ones up now. Plus, I'm all set up with a digital video camera now so I won't have to shoot them with my webcam. If you want to check out the previous vlog episodes, they are on my YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/artbybryancollins.

I really enjoy your comments, so please feel free to post below.

God bless,
