Well folks, another year has come and gone…and there’s still plenty to be sad about. But if you don’t have enough Sadness in your life…Tear Drips are here for you! The paltry sum of $9.95 gets you your own slice of teary goodness. And if you’re so inclined, spring for a case of 12 and get one of each design…guaranteed to bring more gloom and doom to your life (and maybe make you smile some too).
Anywho….we haven’t been around posting much, but just in case anyone is looking…mark your calendars now for a new Travis Lampe exhibit at Rotofugi Gallery opening on March 19th, 2010. It’s not that far away! Travis will have half the gallery while Mr. Dan May will be holding down the other half. It should be pretty amazing.
Alrighty then…see you in March!

Update….Tear Drips Series 1 is now in North America! Unfortunately, we’re having a bit of a hard time determining exactly when the figures will make it from their current location (Vancouver) to Chicago, so we can’t set a hard release date just yet…but it will be soon! Thanks for your understanding!
Tear Drips Series 1 has 12 total designs. Retail pricing is $11.95 per blind box. A display case, should you choose to go that route, is 12 pieces and guarantees you one of each figure.

Did anyone else watch Kings last night? I kinda liked it’s post-modern David and Goliath thing. Well, at least I liked it enough to give it a season pass on the Tivo. We’ll see how I feel about it in a few weeks.
In the meantime…photo inspired by Kings (click image for full size).

We’ve just posted a few more shots of updated sample paint jobs of the Tear Drip Series 1 releases we’ve received from the factory recently. Click the thumbnails above to view full images…these photos have the paint “fade” at the top that was missing from the samples we have been showing up until now. Things are moving along pretty good for the eventual “Spring 2009″ release of the entire series.
Also…we are currently selling the Monotone Zoltar Tear Drip Special release online and at our store in Chicago….or check out the shop page here for other locations that are carrying the release.

Party on, Wayne? No, not that Garth, though Wayne’s World was set in suburban Chicago…
This is the Tear Drip Garth. Shown is the factory-printed sample we recieved just a few weeks ago. We’re making some changes to this one before it is released, but darn it if it doesn’t look great!
Travis did a wonderful job translating his original designs to be pad printed….this one uses eight(!) colors to reproduce what was originally handpainted in acrylic on canvas.Â
More Drips coming soon…we’ll post a new one every few days.
