There are always a lot of gutsy people at Wondercon, but one might argue that Wendy of I Heart Guts is the gutsiest of all. As an anatomically-obsessed illustrator, Wendy created the line of soft innards in 2005 and has been harvesting them ever since. When you really need to give the gift of gallbladder, I Heart Guts has you covered. The small company recently found themselves in a tough spot when they had to recall their plush uterus when it failed a pull test. The entire lot of other internal organs passed just fine, and while these are adult collectibles, not recommended for kids under 3, the plush uterus found itself getting the virtual equivalent of a hysterectomy. However, attendees at Wondercon 2009 who understand the detachable ova disclaimer can still purchase the now-rare organ, which sat alongside the even rarer black heart. These are really fun plushes, and you can tell I Heart Guts has a good time with them. It’s not all playtime though; the company uses their lighthearted toys to help aid serious medical organizations. Awesome.

This is one reason why it’s good to get away from the computer and go out to events: Super Rad Toys. I mean this both generically (super rad toys!) and as pertaining to the Beverly Hills toy company (Super Rad Toys). I’d seen the Horton figures and the Ningyo Project casually online here and there, but never all at once and not in 3D. These are really, really cool and QC looks top notch to me. I don’t know if these photos are going to do the 10-inch Gosho dolls justice (It’s hard to photograph flocking), but if you are interested in Japanese lore and you love candy, there is a particularly sweet Junior Mints figure with your name on it. Super Rad is currently working on an artist series of the Horton figures, but it was a particular art toy that David and Simone were proudest to show off: Super Rad Toys has the exclusive license to produce the iconic female figures of Patrick Nagel. Click on the Super Rad Toys heading to go to the post and check her out. Then go grab a Duran Duran album and compare…

Well. this was a cool and unexpected collaboration. Although we’ve written about the fine black and white DIY periodical known as Color Ink Book, I was pleasantly surprised to see that MCA contributed some colorful graphics to the project: notably a button pack, huge banner and the cover of issue 2. You can read some words from MCA here at the Color Ink Blog. While Jason Washburn, who, with his wife, sews the plush crayons, was circulating around the con, Adam Washburn (pictured with Meghan Washburn above) told me more about how artists can get involved. Some are contacted directly by the Brothers and others volunteer their outlines. Issue 2 features colorable art by MCA, Jeremy Fish, Skinner, Otter X (I.W.G.), Marco Rached (SPRFKR), Sec 1, Formfieber and Nathan Spoor.

Je crois que si j'aime autant Jeremy Fish, c'est que son art me ressemble un peu. Il fait le grand écart entre des thèmes assez gore et effrayants et ses illustrations très rondes. Un petit lapin rose dans une tête de mort, ça représente parfaitement son travail. Et moi ça m'interpelle :-)
