Kanji wave 2!!! Drops June 19th Noon -


Jared Deal's Kanji wave 2 is finally ready to go!!! In this wave of 10 we'll have an assortment of fun colors, a few color tints, and we'll even have a few mirage paint Kanji's. The mirage paint actually changes color as it catches the light. You've probably seen cars that use this kind of paint & when they drive by they change color.
Wave 2 will go on sale Friday June 19th @ 12 noon EST. in the Argonaut Resins online store. As with all Argonaut products you get some extra goodies w/ your purchase. Along w/ your Kanji you will also receive a signed mini print, custom painted packaging & chopsticks with a custom wrapper.

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..."
