The Avengers Screen Print Series by Rhys Cooper

Rhys Cooper created this amazing The Avengers four print series as part of last weekend’s “Assemble” group art show at Gallery 1988. My jaw seriously hit the ground when I first saw these posters of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Black Widow last week. These banner sized prints turned out great (I love the SHIELD logo backgrounds); I just wish he had created a print for each member of the team. Where are my Hawkeye and Hulk screen prints!?! I guess four out of six ain’t bad…

Sold individually, all four hand numbered The Avengers screen prints by Rhys Cooper were available for purchase at the Gallery 1988 online store for $40 each (Captain America and Iron Man have since sold out). Each print measures 18”x24” and has a limited edition run size of 175 pieces. However, only 125 of each print were sold at G1988. I assume this means Rhys will eventually be selling the remaining prints as full 4 print sets on his online store.

Lunabee x Pepe Hiller Woodbees

Oh man, how beautiful are these Woodbees from UK artist Lunabee and Swiss artist Pepe Hiller (of Smallstuff Studios)!?! Each hand carved wooden bees were created by Pepe in Switzerland and then shipped over to Lunabee to be painted in her unique style. Ten Woodbees were created in all, 9 smaller worker bees (2.5” in length) and one large queen bee (3.5" in length).

The Blot can’t truly express how much I love this release. Pepe’s woodworking skills are amazing, and each Woodbee really comes alive after Lunabee has worked her magic with them. Sadly, these will be the only wood bees ever created. This is truly a one off collaboration (with no future series planned), so if you ever want to get your hands on one of these wooden delights you’d better do it when they are released this Thursday!

These Lunabee x Pepe Hiller Woodbees will be released in two waves: the first 5 worker bees go on sale this Thursday, May 10th, at 7pm London time at Lunabee’s online store. The remaining 4 worker bees and the queen bee go on sale Thursday, May 17th, at the same time and the same place. Each worker bee will retail for $99 each, while the queen bee will sell for $149.

New Ice Scream Man Vinyl Figures by Brutherford Industries - Malevolent Minstachio & Badass Brown

If his Flickr photostream is any indication, Bryan Brutherford has been hard at work in his secret layer concocting new and more devilish flavors of his popular Ice Scream Man vinyl figure! Everything I’ve seen coming from Brutherford Industries these days has been freaking mind blowing, and I can’t wait to find out what’s next. In the mean time, find out the two newest flavors of the Ice Scream Man: Malevolent Minstachio and Badass Brown.

Malevolent Mintstachio, a special concoction mixing the world’s most popular green flavors (mint and pistachio), and Badass Brown each stand 7.5” tall, have limited edition run sizes of 125 pieces, and come signed and numbered by the artist. Pick one or both up today at the Brutherford Industries online store for $75 each.

The Mighty Thor Polymer Clay Figure by The Krillman

Almost a year ago The Blot was introduced to The Krillman and all the amazing things he was creating with polymer clay! While his original creations are great, what really blew my mind were the work-in-progress photos I saw of a new Thor polymer figure he was developing to coincide with the release of Marvel’s Thor live action movie last year. Unfortunately, I’ve had these pics sitting on my computer forever and for one reason or another never got a chance to post them (sorry Krillman!). But better late than never! Plus the figure’s definitely relevant again with the huge opening weekend The Avengers just had. 

The Krillman has created a set of 25 of these awesome handmade Thor polymer clay figures. Sadly, The Krillman is taking a break from the game right now and The Blot’s got no idea if these are still available. I believe at one point they were being sold for $60 each, and if I can find out any additional information on these figures I will definitely update this post. Hopefully we’ll see The Krillman slinging polymer again soon!
