Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor Present The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts

LLW_DubiousBeasts_Postcard

The upcoming art corner at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland features two of my favorite artists in the whole world. Inspired by early cabinets of curiosities and the mustiest corners of old museums, critter curators and sculptors Leslie Levings and Shing Yin Khor unveil a collection of strange and wonderful beady eyed things in The Corner Museum of Dubious Beasts.

These are just a few of the critters that will be in their two-person show. I’m also excited that Leslie and Shing will have a collaborative piece in the Supah Mashup Art Party! Both shows open on Saturday, May 11 with a reception from 6-10pm. Hope to see you there!

Designer Con 2012: Sawdust Bear

Oh, fattybugs! Oh, fattybugs! So round and plump and lovely! These wonderful fattybugs are some of the oddly adorable critters that you’ll find at Designer Con 2012. Just look for Sawdust Bear at booth 209. These fattybugs come with a wood base and will be around $40. There will also be some variants in the $30 range.

The Sawdust Bear booth will also have original watercolours in the $30-50 range. Even if you’re not into chunky monsters, you’ll be able to find something amazing there. Artist Shing Yin Khor is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, so do yourself a favor and drop by her booth!

3D and Mixed Media Art from the Supahcute Dream Team Show

The Supahcute Dream Team Show features a great mix of 2D , 3D, and mixed media art, if I do say so myself. I’m really pleased that many of the 3D pieces sold during the opening reception, but there are still a few more that need homes! See all available pieces here.

Supahcute Dream Team Preview: Sawdust Bear

Oh my god, Becky, look at that rockbeast! It is so big!! This cute behemoth by Sawdust Bear is complete with giant stone bling.

This Adolescent Hiveblob is equally amazing. She describes on her blog: “This dude has my first handmade glass eyes (as in, I melted them myself), which…actually look exactly like eyes you can purchase, so I didn’t actually need to make them myself…but I did. So there.”
