Luke Chueh’s Shithead metal-cast figure by FullyVisual goes on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, October 21st at 11AM PST for $130 here.

Monday, September 8, 2008
At my last trip to Munky King, I noticed that they had some new t-shirts on display. The new designs are part of Munky King’s artist series. I wasn’t one of the lucky ones who was able to purchase Luke Chueh’s Possessed, so I really like these designs. I’m not a fan of the Old [...]

Signings here and signings there, signings were just about everywhere at the San Diego Comic Con. In my haste to try to squeeze in as much as I could on my daily rehashes of all things SDCC, I neglected to post a couple of photos I snapped of some hot sketch and autograph action [...]

Monday, July 21, 2008
I’ve been waiting for Munky King to release their signing schedule for San Diego Comic-Con. The schedule is finally online at their Comic-Con page.
