NEW "CANADIEN" CUSTOM by GRIMSHEEP

NEW "CANADIEN" CUSTOM by Grimsheep

Check out this amazing new custom Munny by Grimsheep. As stated on his flickr, it looks like this is going to be his submission for the Montreal Munny Show: A Tribute to Montreal. Grimsheep is by far one of my favorite artists in the industry and with work like this, it just re-confirms that notion. You can see more of Grim's work at: www.grimsheep.net.

DUNNY CUSTOM SERIES by NIKEJERK

DUNNY CUSTOM SERIES by Nikejerk

Artist/Graphic Designer and a very good friend of mine, Nikejerk is working on his latest project, which looks like it's going to be a custom series of 3" Dunnys. The only info available at this point is an ad that he posted on the kidrobot forums. Nikejerk is an awesome artist with great work ethic. Every time I talk to him he's working on something different(always... lol), and from what I've seen he's gotten better with every new custom he's produced. I'm really looking forward to this, and if I'm lucky enough he might send a few my way to list in The Art Gallery... Stay tuned. [more info]

UPDATED INFO:

1. There will be 15 designs.
2. They will be sold blind box.
3. There will be 2 unseen variants.
4. There will be 1 8" in addition to the 15 3" designs.
5. Custom Packaging
6. Artist card of authenticity.

"5YL COMPANION" KEY CHAIN by KAWS

"5YL COMPANION" KEY CHAIN by Kaws

The "5YL Companion" Key Chain is slated to be the next release by Kaws. Some speculate that these are 3" in height and will retail for about $15(USD). It's pure speculation for now, as no official word has been released yet... Check back for updates here on Always Seen though.

UPDATE:

The official word is out and it looks like the "5YL Companion" Key Chain is actually 5 cm in height and retails for about $12(USD). They are currently available at Colette Paris, but please be aware that they are priced way above retail($27 USD to be exact). That seems to be the norm for every place that sells Kaws though.

Info posted by Upper Playground:

"As part of Upper Playground’s interview series, Dithers, listen in as photographer Ricky Powell interviews painter Kostas Seremetis in his studio in New York City.

Seremetis discusses the importance of painting what he loves – and that includes super heroes, comic books, sci-fi movies and samurai movies. The interview is inspirational, gives you a great glimpse into Kostas’ studio and what inspires each piece. Watch the interview now at Walrus TV..."
