Pretty in Plastic & Miyu Decay at DesignerCon

Written on November 24, 2010 by Jeremy - 

check out more from Toy Maiven Jeremy

The Pretty in Plastic booth was an amalgamation of several entities including Julie B, Stephanie Inagaki, Neon Monster, Brian Castleforte and Nathan Hamill.
Pay special attention to this juxtaposition between Julie and Stephanie, or Pretty in Plastic and Miyu Decay, or as I like to call it “Pretty Decay”. I think it’s got legs, don’t you? Jellyfish legs…
The Jelly imagery was from Pretty in Plastic’s Endangered Species installation last May.
If you like Stephanie’s hand-cast silver bat jewelry, support her Kickstarter project, which is happening right now, right here.

D-Con-Re-Cap

D-con stood for desire...and debaucherous this year. We won't go into all the details...but here is a re-cap of the day and pictures from the show.

We were happy to host NEON MONSTER and all the AMAZING customs of the mini Psnail. Everyone did a kick-ass job.


The Weird Watermelon colorway was released and received with awe and affection. It glowed nicely atop our Custom Display for the D-con Psnail light show. These glowing pillars were made out of recycled barrels and with glossy lit caps.

AVAILABLE NOW AT NEON MONSTER 

other colors avail. for pre-order.

The OG Psnails also made an appearence. Here is one with Paul Kaiju's slick custom. (hard to see how awesome it is in this pic)

Nathan Hamill had two releases, two raffle give-aways at Spanky Stokes booth...and a signing... As always it was great to see Mr. Spanky Stokes and his amazing Noodle Bowl! He is one SMART guy!

These custom Psnails will be for sale at DesignerCon and online starting Sunday Nov. 21st @ www.neonmonster.com.

ARBITO's - Moon PSNAIL - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $125

A psychedelic intergalactic space explosion – Arbito’s Moon PSNAIL is a sight to behold. With a skittle toned shell and black and white body, this little PSNAIL is one mighty fine moon walker. Signed on the base, Arbito’s Moon PSNAIL is priced at $125.

Castleforte's - Lions and Tigers and Snails, Oh My! - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $100

All of the technicolor Munchkins in Oz couldn’t compare to the glistening verdant glow of this Emerald City PSNAIL. Castleforte’s Lions and Tigers and Snails, Oh My! PSNAIL has all of the glitz of Glenda wrapped up in the shell of the Wicked Witch. But on this Yellow Brick Road, slow and steady wins the pace and Castleforte’s PSNAIL finds there really is no place like home. Castleforte’s Lions and Tigers and Snails, Oh My! PSNAIL is priced at $100.

John Crowe's - Black Widow with Ground Effects - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $60

Dark and mysterious, the poison dart antennae of John Crowe’s Black Widow with Ground Effects shows the darker side of PSNAIL’s trip down the rabbit hole. Jet black with a iridescent skin, this PSNAIL is proudly displaying it’s other-worldly hue in full euphoric Neon fashion. Signed on the base, John Crowe’s Black Widow with Ground Effects is priced at $60.

Julie West's - Custom PSNAIL - 3" Resin Figure for DesignerCon 2010 - $300

A bit of sunshine and sparkle, Julie West’s Custom PSNAIL is the dandy of the group! Prim and proper, this sassy girl with curlicue arms shows the early stages of PSNAIL’s obsession with logarithmic spirals. Julie’s details are impeccable – we are still marveling at the tiny brushstrokes she perfected! Signed on the base, Julie West’s Custom PSNAIL is priced at $300.

Le Merde's - Le Sluggo - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $150

Great glimmering slimy madness, Le Merde’s Le Sluggo joins the Le Merde family of French characters with proper personal masculine pronouns. Beware, Le Sluggo’s viscous PSNAIL trail is known to be the source of potent psychoactive properties; a unique quality clearly envied but the rest of the mollusk kingdom. Le Merde has enhanced his painted resin PSNAIL with a hand-poured semi-transparent amethyst snail trail and a gloss coat smooth enough to speed this former snail to a rapid slugs pace! Signed on the base, Le Merde’s Le Sluggo is priced at $150.

Leecifer's - Satan's Slug, Slower than Hell - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $100

Slow and steady, this Slug of a PSNAIL is serious as all Hell! Leecifer’s Satan’s Slug, Slower than Hell is the winged gastropod from the dark side. Probably best to stay on the good side of resinous beast, although with 4 googled eyes and a painted armor of brilliant spots and splashes it might be more fun to duel this slug in a do-or-die battle of salt grenades than to challenge him in a game of tag. Leecifer’s Satan’s Slug, Slower than Hell is priced at $100.

Mark Nagata's - Glitter PSNAIL - 3" Custom Resin Figure - $60

A candy coated palette of Glimmering Goodness, Mark Nagata’s Glitter PSNAIL leaves us a salivating mess of awe and overall jealousness. PSNAIL’s perfect rainbow gradient propels a metallic gleam that glistens from gold to raspberry. This time traveling mollusks adventure into the fungal jungle has left him aglitter. Signed on the base, Mark Nagata’s Glitter PSNAIL is priced at $60.

Reuben Rude's - Zombie PSNAIL - 3" Custom Resin PSNAIL - $150

A phantasm of psychotropic horror, Reuben Rude’s Zombie PSNAIL is hauntingly seductive. As the artist responsible for the visual creation of Circuitous PSNAIL, Reuben’s cranial ensconced Zombie Psnail shows the carnivorous side of the slow but steady Gastropod. Make no bones about it, this PSNAIL has his eyes on you! Signed on the base, Reuben Rude’s Zombie PSNAIL is priced at $150.

Pretty In Plastic and Shane Geil/Hello Maggot PSNAIL’s will arrive in true fashion via Snail Mail to the Pasadena Convention Center on Saturday for DesignerCon! Stay tuned for sneak peaks of their top secret PSNAIL’s which will debut this weekend.
