International Comic Con 2018 Preview!

Take a deep sniff… ahhh.. you smell that? Must be summer convention season! That means once again I’ll be back in San Diego from July 18-23rd at the Comic Con International with my dumb-bud R. Stevens at “Dumbrella”, booth #1335. Here’s a peek at some of the items I’ll have on hand!


Classic Last Knight and Morimoth enamel pins are back in a beautiful metallic bronze finish, plus some tasty new pins from the O-No Food Company featuring characters from the Single Servings crew! Available for $10 each.
Speaking of tasty, I also put together this exciting 4-pack of “microwave button” pins! You didn’t know how empty your life was until just now! Reheat your passion for convenient cooking for only $10 – 4 pins for the price of one!

All those and a whole bunch of others are ready to poke holes in your belongings!


Collectibles! Limited quantities of the Matcha Green Tea edition Kill Kat will be available ($45), along with some regular Chocolate editions ($40). Plus  Single Servings, Jason Limon’s Stink Box cats, Karoshi San and more!


Android Robot Revolution makes its Comic Con debut, stop by the booth and remix some robots! We’ll also have a few special editions on hand as well as our 4″ Andy figures for $12!

We’ll have a special sneak preview sale of the new Heroes & Villains III series, featuring Black Cat 5, the Flash Drive, Crypto Joe and the Ransom Mayor! Quantities are very limited at the convention, but they will be coming later this summer to the Dead Zebra Shop! Special preview price of $45/set.


Stickies! All the stickies! Lots of high quality full color die cut silkscreen stickers for only $1 each!


O-No Uni! The “Never Look Back” print series continues with the 5th installment, some unfortunate uni. The print is making it’s debut at the convention and available online shortly after! $10 each (or save with sets!).


We’ll also have some Android Propaganda posters in full 18″x24″ size for $15 and below, or in cubicle friendly 5″x7″ sets of 4 for $20, and a few letterpress Creatures prints for $30.
I’ll have a selection of original Creatures ink and pigment drawings available for $100 each. Don’t see it on the table? Just ask!

This year our booth-buddies are FYE who will be featuring an assorted selection of their own fun items, including this new exclusive glow-in-the-dark “Radioactive Waste” edition Kill Kat for $40! Can’t make it to SDCC? A few are available for pre-order from the FYE website (US only I’m afraid!)


As if that weren’t enough evil glowing for one convention, FYE will also be presenting the new glow-in-the-dark “Working Late” edition Karoshi San figure! Limited to only 100 pieces!


In addition to Convention Center duties, I’ll be doing a signing at the FYE pop-up shop in Horton Plaza on Saturday evening! Come by from 5-6pm to say hi, get things signed, and check out an extended selection of FYE goodies! It’s just a few minutes walk from the convention center.

Looking forward to seeing some of you (un)lucky folks in San Diego!

Sweet treats from the O-No Food Company!

We’ve got some fresh releases from the O-No Co Food Processing Plant (and Crematorium)!

We’re proud to announce two new products to satisfy your hunger for slightly deranged food-themed products.These will be arriving at retailers online and off in October and November respectively. We’ll be introducing some of the new characters over the next few weeks over on instagram, so make sure to follow!

 

First up is Kill Kat, a killer candy with split personality and a minor demonic possession problem.. I’m sure it’s just a phase.Sweet and psycho, this 6″ vinyl figure is based on an original resin sculpture from a few years back, and comes complete with a custom candy style wrapper.

1 in 10 of the Milk Chocolate edition include a Dark Chocolate chase with glow in the dark eyes! Break one off at the DZ shop and select retailers late October 2017 for $40.

We’ve also cooked up a brand new mini collectible keychain series – ‘Single Servings‘ – featuring all sorts of sad and sick foodstuff.  Pick up a Torn Terry the truncated tuna, Peeled Peter the partial potato, Putrid Patty pet food, Moldy Morgan the sickly sandwich, Spoiled Spencer the rotten egg and many more.

Someone took a taste of Bitten Barry and Shocked Shelly finds out life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Burnt Bernie spends little too long in the toaster oven and Moldy Morgan has been sitting in the back of that office fridge for a few weeks now..

Single Servings start shipping mid November for around $6.50 each. The series features 8 different sculpts and 20 total unique characters to collect! Cases contain 24 individual blind boxed keychains at approximately 1.5” each, including a metal clasp, 20mm keyring and a sticker!

International Comic Con 2017 Preview!

It’s happening! Next week once again, for the 16th year in a row (!) I’ll be peddling my wares at the International Comic Con!  Find me along with my dumb pal R Stevens AND special guests Cards Against Humanity at “Dumbrella”  booth #1335 July 19th-23rd. We’ll have tons of great stuff, including but not limited to my goodies below!

As usual there will be a wide selection of those full color high quality adhesive party slappers that some people call “stickers”! Pick one up for a buck, or get 5 for only $4!

What’s a Comic-Con without ENAMEL PINS? Am I right? Not to let anyone down, I’ll have over 25 pin designs available including the all new Pet Food, Golden Last Knight and the return of the sold out Morimoth, now in silver. $8-10 each depending on how many you prick up!

Summer means two things, Comic-Con and watermelon.. in that order. Satisfy your summer cravings with the sweet new Android Mini Collectible special edition Summer 2017 release! Featuring a translucent faded melon body and rind head, we’ll have limited quantities on (sticky) hand for $10 each.

..speaking of tasty treats, be one of the first to check out the brand new Single Servings mini figure keychain series from O-No Food Company, featuring some of the saddest selections of foodstuffs you’ll ever eat*. Meet Moldy Mike, Putrid Patty, Spoiled Spencer, Peeled Peter and the rest of the crew with this special sneak peek preview release! *do not eat

Going to Comic-Con for books filled with comic drawings?.. That’s crazy talk, but I guess I’ll bring a few of those anyway. I’ll even draw in them for you, I think that’s still allowed at Comic-Con?

Yo, new Android. Who Dis? Introducing a new member of the Android figure family, Andy! This 4″ vinyl figure features cute lumpy lines with articulated arms and head, each figure includes a sticker sheet of emojis to decorate a tiny phone accessory! Limited quantity preview release, $12 each.

Dress yourself! A couple of new shirts sure to impress friends, coworkers and bystanders alike. Transform into bat man, dig into some sushi, or get your code on with these three designs. $20 each or 3 for $54.. or something like that!

I’ll have only one each of Midnight (black) and Memories Lost (bronze) moth sculptures available for $150 and $250 respectively. I’ll also have a few new Pet Food resin casts, each one personally hand cast and painted for only $80 each!

Prints! We’ll have the usual lineup of Never Look Back sushi themed prints, along with a selection of our Android Foundry propaganda themed prints and the new office/cubicle friendly mini print sets! Prices vary.

And of course we’ll have some more toys, including the new Glow in the Dark Last Knight edition, O-No Sushi sets, Karoshi-San, Androids and more!

We’ll also have mugs, socks, bags and other things, too many to list here, see you next week!

Special editions coming soon!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to San Diego for this years Comic-Con! We blew through some Blue Fin Sashimi at Dumbrella, while the special edition Hero and Villain Android mini collectibles battled it out over at the DKE booth. We even won an award somewhere in there, it’s still a bit of a blur..

If you missed out on the comic-con madness, the special edition Androids will be available in the Dead Zebra Shop starting August 1st, and they’ll be hitting some of our Asian retailers shortly. A smaller quantity of Blue Fin Sashimi figures will also be available! Details and times to follow shortly after I recover from the convention and fly back to New York!

Something fishy this way smells…

Once again the international comic-con in San Diego is almost upon us! You know what that means, a solid week of pain and suffering fun new stuff!

O-No Sashimi (based on the popular Never Look Back II print) makes its delicious vinyl debut at the show, complete with blue special edition. I know the show sold out very early this year, and a lot of people can’t make it, so we’ll be holding a number of these for online sales in the dead zebra shop!

We’ll also be serving up a few of the standard Green editions, these will be hitting toy and specialty shops worldwide shortly after the convention. The standard edition will retail for around $35 US and includes all delicious fish bits, two sets of eyes and a bowl in a supermarket fresh display tray!

The blue edition is limited to 250pcs and will retail for $40 US.

Here is O-No Sashimi compared in size to the original O-No Sushi!

A few more pics are up on Flickr! Nom nom nom..

O-No Freshness

We first previewed the painted master resin sculpt of O-No Sashimi in San Diego last summer at International Comic Con… then we got a little distracted by some Androids! Well, we’re back on track, and these guys are set to be swimming(?) over the ocean soon. Currently scheduled for a 2011 International Comic Con debut along with a special edition perhaps?

Can’t make it to San Diego this year? We’ll have some fresh green fish online and in shops as well!
