EL DIABLO's last stand coming up! As you can see Robbie is up to his old painterly tricks for his final wave of DIABLO toys. I wonder what Mr. DIABLO did in those 5 states? Maybe - we really don't want to know.

Kalua Moola packaging...

Lord Mesa put together some fun images for his packaging for his first wave of Moola resins. Funny thing is he's all the way on the West Coast (and I'm on the East Coast) and we work on the project like he's in the next town over. What would we do without modern technology? Kalua Moola product shots, prices, edition size and drop date will be announced in a bit. Each wave will have different art set ups on the packaging. Since Moola aint takin no crap - ding ding ding - round one coming up so stay tuned!!!

Michael Jackson - RIP...You will be missed truly. Godspeed.

In Moola We Trust.....

Moola mint! Lord Mesa's Kalua Moola project wave one coming very soon...and yes those are Moola's band aids. If you scroll down to the first Lord Mesa teaser flyer you'll see where his band aid goes....

Also - if you've noticed we've slowed down a bit it's because Argonaut Resins will be uprooting and relocating to a new location. We'll do our best to keep the projects dropping as we make this move. I'll take some pics of the all new studio once it's up running...

Warning! Warning!...T- minus????......

5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 - the countdown to O_Negative's DESTROYER toy project has begun! Who is artist O _Negative and what is DESTROYER???

"As in many religions there are entities that travel through the vastness of time and space, searching the universe to pass judgment on those that have fallen from grace. Those who have not lived up to their potentials. The DESTROYER sits in judgment of toys. His eyes gaze into the deepest, darkest crevices to find playthings that exist in the face of righteous toys. He is the toy that all other toys fear. For they know that he will show no mercy to those that are found wanting. His mission is to unmake the offenders of good and decent toys. To bring cleansing fire, and lay them to waste, utterly..."
