That's No Moon. That's A Custom Vinyl.

Here's the custom Death Star Mighty Mugg I recently made for
The Empire Muggs Back.

The charity auction has begun. You can bid on it here.

"Collectors and fans alike have a chance to own one-of-a-kind Star Wars art pieces while giving to a good cause with The Empire Muggs Back. Lucasfilm asked artists, comic book creators, toy designers, and celebrity fans to get out their markers, paint brushes and glue guns and transform blank Mighty Muggs (donated by Hasbro) into custom Star Wars art which will be auctioned by The Make-A-Wish Foundation."

Thank you to all the artists, who lent their talents to produce the customs, and everyone, who came and made the night such a success!

Make sure to check out Vinyl Pulse's coverage here. Thanks again, Jack.

Boris Launch Party

One week from today on Friday, July 17th, the Boris vinyl will celebrate his launch at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood, CA. If you live in the area and have a penchant for figures of cartoony animals with Napoleon complexes, come by and pick one up.

Also, we've got 15 artists contributing their custom versions of Boris, which will be on sale alongside the figure.

Boris Update: San Diego Comic Con 2009

In addition to being on display at DKE Toys, our distributer, Boris will be sold at Tired Girl Collective's table in the Small Press Pavilion at this year's San Diego Comic Con. You can find us at table M07, which is between aisles 1600-1700. I will be splitting my time between working at the Bongo Comics booth, Tired Girl Collective and hunting down TMNT and Ghostbusters exclusives. While working at TGC, I will gladly sign and/or sketch on your Boris box if you'd like.

Come on by!
