Frank Schaefer – Things That Hurt 2010
Did you get a boring calendar over the holidays? One that made you think <yawn> but instead prompted a ‘Gee, thanks <insert well-intentioned relative’s name’ ? If so or even if not, we’ve got a recommendation – Frank Schaefer’s Things That Hurt calendar.
Frank takes amazingly clever pictures of vinyl toys that belie the meticulous preparation involved in creating his in-studio mini-sets. Things That Hurt features 13 of his photographs including the awesome cover piece – an homage to Shane Jessup’s weaponized zipper pulls. While Frank’s pics are enough for us, he’s gone a step beyond – worrying that people would be depressed with blank squares for most days, he’s filled the calendar with holidays, obscure ‘national…’ days (National Escargot Day, National Chesseball day, and more) and perhaps coolest of all – birthdays of many of your favorite artists.
If that sounds like something you’d like to hang on your wall, you can get your very own copy for $15 over @ A&I Photographic & Digital Services.

The Next Lake Monster – Dredge by Brian Morris
Rotofugi has just given us a sneaky partial glimpse of the terror that lurks beneath. Dredge by Brian Morris is the second figure in the Lake Monster series produced in conjunction with Squibbles Ink. Even from this teaser, it’s pretty clear they are pushing boundaries with a detailed sculpt from Chris Ryniak and Joe Sommers. American ‘Kaiju’ is alive and festering nicely in Chicago.
