After a freak encounter with Substance X at the Playboy Club one night in 1967, bunny Marla Green went for a walk in Manhattan that would not soon be forgotten!

Unless I completely botched it, the translation from the poster should be something like "The Night of the Bunny Monster".

PacMan All-Star Rejects Sneak Peek, a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

The Urban Vinyl Daily "Blow Me" online toy show opens tomorrow (September 8, 2012)! It's a show anyone can attend if they have an internet connection. Judging by the artist line-up, it should be a great show. So go check it out Saturday September 8th at 3pm EST! The toys will be available here: urbanvinyldaily.storenvy.com/

This is a sneak peek of two of my pieces for the show. They're ghosts that didn't quite make the cut for the PacMan game.

This is a custom 10" Lustre Gloss Labbit with a made-from-scratch light-up air filter box thingy.

Hammerhead ArqSpin

Here's an interactive spin animation of one of my customs. I really like the ArqBall platform. My only gripe is that the image quality isn't a little better. That could be due to the fact that I was shooting this on my iPhone. An iPad might do better.

TeeFury- Lo Pan Express

TeeFury- Lo Pan Express, a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

Hey gang, my Big Trouble in Little China inspired Lo Pan Express will be the t-shirt of the day at TeeFury on Thursday, August 23! This is a great opportunity to get one of my favorite designs for a great price.

Once the shirt goes live at midnight, you'll be able to purchase it here: www.teefury.com/

FYI- The Chinese characters say "Lo Pan Express". James Hong (Lo Pan) himself confirmed that I got it right. (So you don't have to worry that you're running around with a t-shirt that says Peking Duck or something. Oh, and I think they may be going with a darker red)

**Update**
Thanks for all the support! The sale went really well!

P1 Hammerhead
