The Tribalnots are the newest creations by Brian Castleforte. He describes them as “wild, fanged and clawed jungle dwellers from the land of Wammbodia.” There are two tribes, the White Tribalnots and the Black Tribalnots, and naturally they hate each other. Once a month the Tribalnots erupt into major fights between the tribes, but most of the time they are peaceful creatures.
Castleforte recently unveiled a sneak preview of the Tribalnots kings: Wack (King of the White Tribalnots) and Blite (King of the Black Tribalnots). Both will appear at his upcoming show at Mobius Gallery on Saturday. At the show, you’ll be able to check out the vinyl toys, paper toys, and new illustrations. Here is a little description of the kings:
WACK: The King of the White Tribalnots is kind to a fault, tireless in his altruism and driven to defend his fellow Nots with a manic psychosis. Simply, Wack is the nicest Not you’ll ever meet and loves to spend his time cooking, especially baking or riding the Eternal Wave out on Lake Kakatittienottie. His passion for Wammberries is legendary and has led to his nickname “The stoned King,” which might be part of the reason he’s just so nice…
BLITE: The King of the Black Tribalnots is loud, obnoxious, foul mouthed, egomanical and tough enough to back it up. Blite loves hunting, especially big game like the Straight Horned Sneerbeast, fishing for goldfinned Plinnies, and is a raving lunatic for playing Zootball. He loves chocolate gluttoncake and hot tea, and of course, his two daughters.
Check his Myspace page for more information. While you’re there, wish him a happy birthday on June 22nd.
