Metal for Monsters
Jon did two designs (Lars and Munchy) for Metal for Monsters a project by Vivian Cheng and Eric Jean-Louis of Blend Creations. Vivian and Eric asked: “How do I save the world with a really great piece of jewelry or an illustration?” The answer evolved into jewelry collaborations with designers including Stefan G. Bucher, Anna Chambers and Brian Taylor. Each designer supplied Blend Creations with monster art to be made into pendants. The laser-etched, stainless steel pendants feature an illustration on the front with the artist’s signature and number (out of 100) on the back. For each pendant purchased, $16 will be donated to UNICEF. You can currently order Lars and Munchy for $81each here.

[...] Jon is about to join the respectable ranks of the FullyVisual roster with this hand-cast limited edition metal “Cheesey” figure. I’ve been waiting patiently as some other awesome artists (see also FullyVisual figures by Joe Ledbetter, Bwana Spoons, Buff Monster, Huck Gee, Gary Baseman, Frank Kozik, Luke Chueh and Amanda Visell) got their characters rendered in metal, all the while suspecting Jon’s time would come. The time is now (or more accurately, “coming soon”). The Cheesey figure is 3.5 inches tall and features a metal cheese accessory. I can’t imagine it’s an easy task to represent Jon’s characters in a medium like metal, so I eagerly await seeing one in hand. Like the rest of FV’s figures, I suspect the edition of 100 pieces will feature 99 siver and 1 chase gold. You can get one now at Burgerplex for £70, but Jon assures me that for those of us in countries with weak dollars, FullyVisual will also be offering them in USD soon. And bonus for you metalheads, may I suggest pairing it with this pendant from Metal For Monsters? [...]
