The Super Punch website is three years old. And to celebrate they asked a whole gaggle of artists to create a Tarot deck for them.
I got to do one of the Major Arcana……
Hmmmm. Maybe a whole Mechtorians Tarot would be nice…
Pop over to Super Punch and check out the rest of the deck.
Stephan decked out in his Mourning attire of velvet black, regal purple and steel (slightly rusted but no-one seems to mind).
Each one of this edition of 20 mini Mechtorian figures is hand painted by Doktor A himself.
Each piece is also signed and numbered on the underside.
Available exclusively from The Spookypop Shop on the 9th Feb 6PM GMT.
£50 each.
Among the edition there is hiding one special “Sleepy Eyed” version.
Dont sleep yourself. They wont last long.

My Lift show up against Banksy in Bristol? Blimey!
And now is the chance for you Dunny fans to let KR know how much you loved the Rupture….
When I visited the splendid Matt Jones in Manchester last week he was good enough to give me a heap of his mini sticker frames.
These have been drawn upon and I am now giving them away.
Any purchase from my online store will have one of these added as well for free.
Whilst stocks last.
Just order something from the Spookypop Shop and you will get an original hand drawn sticker too… If you are quick.
March already? Where is the year going?

And I think I should add a rule that I wont do filth…
So no suggestions for images of famous people in uncompromising positions.
Or Furries……….you know…….up to anything unnatural.
(I am rubbish at portraiture likenesses anyway so best not go there).
Characters is one thing.. I could do you a Hellboy or a Batman or whatever but i couldnt to a recognisable Jonny Depp…
I have a new Mechtorian ink drawing in the “Get the Lead Out” show at the Black Maria Gallery in LA.
The show brings together artists from around the world in an exhibition of original pencil and ink drawings.
The sketchbook page planning behind this drawing is also available in the show.
