Secret Painting Club Gold Edition by Couk

UK artist James Downing’s (aka Couk) Secret Painting Club is back! For his third release of the year, Couk will be releasing the Gold Edition Secret Painting Club later this weekend. SPC takes the world of fine art and the world of blind box toys and combines them to create sets of 20 one of a kind 4”x3” miniature acrylic paintings sold blind bag style. The Gold Edition Secret Painting Club includes 20 all new characters on sunny golden canvases, including Rootie, the creature with a house on his head (currently empty due to high rent costs), Prismantis, who hypnotizes his prey (fruit and veggies) with rainbow powers, and Vortecks, who travels between parallel dimensions to tell everyone about the screenplay he's working on.

The Secret Painting Club Gold Version by Couk goes on sale at 4pm EST on Sunday, December 1st, at Couk’s online store. Each Gold Secret Painting comes wrapped up and sealed with wax in identical paper bags along with a hand-drawn character card and a full color postcard.

Secret Painting Club Blue Edition by Couk

UK artist James Downing (aka Couk) has been working on a really cool project entitled the Secret Painting Club (Blue Version), which is a new blind bag series of 20 original 4”x3” acrylic painting on box canvas! Each painting is a one-off original, never to be reproduced, and comes packaged in a sealed bag so the piece you get is completely random. The idea behind Couk’s concept is that feeling of anticipation as you open a Dunny/ Kubrick/Qee blind box, while not knowing exactly what you might get. Combine that adrenalin rush with the ability to own a one-off piece of original artwork and you’ve got a killer combination.

Each secret painting can be hung or stood upright on a surface, and comes wrapped in black paper along with a hand-drawn character card (containing a sketch and some information about the character) and a full color collector's card (showcasing all 20 characters). All of this is tucked away in a printed paper bag, sealed tightly with a Couk wax seal. The Blot loves the idea of affordable original art and Couk’s Secret Painting Club sounds and looks amazing!!! This is the Blue Edition of the Secret Painting Club meaning each painting features a blue background.

The Secret Painting Club Blue Version by Couk goes on sale at 4pm EST this Sunday, December 2nd, at Couk’s online store for £23 each. Characters in the Blue Series include Double H (who wears a skull hat haunted by his schizophrenic grandpa), Vee (a lone head with a new body made out of construction paper and toilet rolls), Plibt (who is upset that there's a girly tree growing from his head), and Hoodsie (a hybrid of bird, bear and custard).
