So with almost a month in … our two Pop-up shops, and Plastic Chapel are still going strong … it will take a few months to really grow into them, but we will have more and more stock at both “the Shoppe” and “Indy Ink” in the near future.

In spirit of our old shop we will still have releases, trading parties and other special events.

Which brings me to an event we are very excited about:

Another visit from Baby Tattoo on another “Road Show” .

This time they will have even more artists…. Brandon ‘Ragnar’, and Gris Grimly are back again, but with the addition of Coop - Low Brow super star , and Marina Bychkova - Doll creator extraordinaire!

Baby Tattoo Books ROADSHOW

EVENT WILL BE HELD AT INDYINK 84 South Broadway

May 15th from 7pm to 9pm  

 

Hope to see you there, don’t miss this chance to meet four great artists, all in one place … Dont sleep!

So its finally come, the last days at 3109 East Colfax …. This is most definetly the single hardest decision our lifes, thus far. Almost making it to the 8 year mark, makes it bittersweet. Above all, we want to thank all of our customers, the amazing artists (Local, National and International), and Westword / other media outlets that have helped us over the years … With out all of you, we would have been just another small blip on the cultural radar.

Its not all bad news though. We will continue with our website, blog, and the various social media …. and we are lucky enough to have great neighbors, friends and allies - which have offered up space to help us keep spreading a little toy love. The Shoppe - located @ 3103 East Colfax Avenue will house some of the smaller toys, Plushies, and Blind box figures, so those of you who want to continue to get their fix of Unicorno, Dunny, and the like - there will be a wall of goodies … and for you hard-core collectors, we will have, not only a large selection of Blind Boxes, but some of the larger, and harder to find gems as well … @ INDYINK located @ 84 S. Broadway • Denver, CO

Viet Doan’s triumphant return to Plastic Chapel with his show entitled, Calamity Trigger. Viet’s whimsical paintings of robots, teddy bears and girls in spacey or technical landscapes will grace our walls on Saturday March 9th for the opening reception at 7:00 pm. This will be our last ever Second Saturday party and we are going out big, probably with cake.

Stop by and say goodbye with us! Plastic Chapel will be open until March 24th, but don’t worry we won’t be completely gone… the website as always will be going on, but not as always it will be constantly updated. We will have a wall of toys right down the block from us at The Shoppe (3103 E. Colfax) and we will have a booth at this years Denver Comic Con May 31st through June 2nd.

You made it through the Apocalypse! Fantastic, here is your reward. Huck Gee’s amazing Post Apocalypse series releases on Thursday February 28th! There is a pre-release, online only that will start at 12:01 am on Thursday, then we will have them available in the store once we open at noon, then come back for the trading party at Plastic Chapel from 6 pm to 8 pm where you can trade with other toy enthusiasts!

Here is the very first vinyl figure by an awesome illustrator and artist: Drew Millward. Produced in conjunction with Disturbia, “Popobawa” is 6″ tall, has an edition of 150, and can be had for £34 (USD $68.00 including standard shipping to US). Drew’s work has been screaming to be a figure for a while, and this piece really translates well from 2D to 3D Visit Disturbia.co.uk.

After another amazing batch of Task Ones “Dunny Town” series  … the time has come for the last 4 designs ….

“Dunny Town” is a blind boxed series of customized 3” versions of KidRobot’s Dunny inspired by buildings and architecture, The final four designs in the series :

The Dispensary, Coffee Shop, Bob’s Burgers, and the Chase Bank “chase

Available in Task One’s online store, each of these blind boxed figures costs $60 and, if you order 2 or 3, you are guaranteed not to receive duplicate designs. A

Huge congrats are in order ! This series is amazing and a true representation of an artist who obviously loves what he does, yet doesnt allow himself to be pigeon holed or confined to a certain style or niche - As someone who has seen the next few series ideas and prots, we can always look forward to whats next, and why Cusom toy art is a great genre.

Relations in Space

New works by Melonie Auburn-Mulkey and Angelo Ray Martinez

Melonie has used hundreds of paper cranes to create an interactive sculptural installation. You are invited to add to it and watch the piece change before your eyes.

Angelo creates movement with large abstract paintings exploring spacial relationships with heavy layers of thick paint. The end result looks different from close up or a step back.

Reception will take place at Plastic Chapel on February 9th from 7pm to 11pm, there will be beer, wine, fun, probably cupcakes. Both artists will be in attendance.

It’s time again for the annual “Square Footage” open show : and open Artist Call

These are EPIC! Once again KC based artist Scribe will be releasing 10 of these amazing resin owls that he created via his online store HERE this Friday at 5pm CST. Each one is hand cast, hand painted, signed and numbered… and there will be two of each of the colorways that you see above! They stand 5.75” inches tall, are 5-inches wide, and are solid resin. Scribe mentions that this character is a newer character that has been surfacing in his work, called “Party Owl”, and has been in several of his latest shows… and that original sculpt for this figure was done by himself. I’m really diggin these, and I am sure there are not only Scribe lovers out there, but owl lovers as well that are totally into these as well!
