House cleaning and Fathers Day Sale…

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

So behind in updates, so lets get to it…

First off, in honor of the upcoming Father’s Day I wanted to offer a discount.  Being a father and a collector of art and toys, I can feel for the plight of other fathers who also collect.  To help their (or their loved ones’ burden) I am offering a 15% discount in my store (alarment.storenvy.com) by using the discount code ‘fathersday’ for the rest of the month.  If you are looking for that one of a kind gift for that dad of yours, look no further.  Or if you want to treat yourself (being a parent or not), know that you will helping this father out by buying some of my stuff so I can buy more toys!

Now for the updates…

I was recently nominated in Clutter Magazine‘s Designer Toy Awards for Best Customizer.  It is a great honor to be nominated among so many other very talented artists in this genre.

I was also asked to be part of a Hellraiser themed custom Kidrobot mascot series, entitled “Cenobots”.  For this series, I created “Murmur” and “Eyesore”.  The whole series was purchased by one buyer!
