The SUG 503 show featuring custom verions of Unklbrand’s excellent SUG figure opened this past Saturday at Compound Gallery in Portland. Over 30 artists took the quirky shape and transformed it into things wicked, cute and just plain slick. Major props to Katsu and the Compound staff as well as Unklbrand founders Derek Welch and Jason Bacon for pulling off this beast of an event. Thanks to Unklbrand here’s a taste of the stellar show pieces. Many of the custom SUGS are
still available for sale, so check ’em all out at Compound Gallery. The show runs through August 2nd, so if you find yourself in or around Portland go check it out, just try not to drool!
