Ghost Butler, he's Happy to Serve...eternally.

Loyal & Polite Ghost Butler will never leave your side, he was made to be that bring along toy companion.

He is a mix of the old bedsheets ghost & a bit of a Casper anatomy ( although I've imagined his roundness to look more like Alfred Hitchcock than others) . I have always loved ghosts toys, collected old ones from Kinder Egg collections to more recent arttoys such as Boo...

 Here are two wonderful instagrammers that were nice enough to make fan art of my characters:

Next up is an amazing IG collage-weaver mo LaPastequeBleue( IG handle: mohojung ), I had never scene anything like her work on IG before & I'm so lucky that she likes my characters enough to incorporate them into these great little fantasy scenes. Her themes vary from comical to...

 We're finally here & the discounted Blue Harvest stock is all here~! This sale is the first of a "Memorial weekendish Annual sales event", the only difference with this sale is that the stock is all new specifically made for he theme! Enjoy~

 Andy of Toysrevil has been hard at work putting together his series of sketch cards and in the deck is his variation of FrightBite . I love the Spawn-like essence he put in! Love it! Fan-art to me is one of the most flattering compliments ever~

 I wanted to showcase a few special pics that I had received recently. Some are pics from customers kind enough to send me pics in their locales, others are creative postcards of artwork! Thank you to all who take the time to do this, I really appreciates it! 

This was a Jet Black FrightBite that made its way to Mexico City! I love this shot because it was shot in the main square of the city & it brings me back to when I got to visit this wonderful place.

On sale in store Turtle Tetsujin for $25 & FrightBite for $20. If you're in the area please visit the store & check them out!
