My current fave artist… http://www.imscared.com/ check him out..
Also I am now moved into my new home in the Pennine mountains. Its beautiful around here. Though the basement flooded the day we moved in and has only just emptied itself.. I think some ancient evil which lurks beneath the hill next door was saying hello…
I have started putting some paintings on the walls which helps make it feel more like home.
I have also gutted the attic in the first phase of its re-birth as my super new, “steam-punk” styled studio..
I think I will try and add to this blog more often now. And post more varied entries..
Some more pics soon.
In other news i have added some new toys to the website shop..
Including a couple of Goteki figures. These are original prototypes. The first ones made. They are painted in a Sneaky Bat Machine stylee as the band was at that time still SBM…
And….
Everyone should go and see “Pan’s Labyrinth”… Its truly splendid..
The Toy section of Spookypop has just been updated.
There is a brand new set of Russian Nesting dolls available now.

Also I found the very first couple of Goteki / Sneaky Bat Machine prototype toys. So they are up there too. These were the very first test pulls of the toys in the original Sneaky Bat Machine colourways. The limited run of Goteki toys had a different colour scheme. They are a little bashed due to having toured with the band but are still in very good shape. There is no packaging or accessories with them though.
The online art magazine Phirebrush ( http://www.phirebrush.com ) has chosen Spookypop for its “Site of the Week”.
Thank you very much Phirebrush… Very nice of you indeed.
I have just added a new Skate Deck to my online store.
