Bill the Yeti (sculpt)

Probably the biggest and most anticipated yeti event of the year is happening this summer when Strangekiss Toys will unveil David Lanham's Bill the Yeti figure at San Diego Comic Con. I previously blogged about it here.

Vinyl Pulse has pictures of the sculpt. Here are two I nabbed from them:



I am going to start saving my pennies to get one of the 500 they are going to make.

Wampa News is Yeti News

As far as I'm concerned the Wampa is a yeti. Deal with it, sticklers!



Super-reader Spencer M. gives the heads-up:

"I wanted to let you know that the Star Wars Wampa (Star Wars Yeti) will be coming soon to stores in the Mighty Muggs line of toys. It even comes with a bone and some meat on it!"

Is this so he can more easily do bloodpainting?

Ryden Yeti



This painting entitled "Abominable" is part of artist Mark Ryden's "Snow Yak" show in Tokyo.

Here are more images from the show (NSFW).

Thanks to Yayo for the scoop!

It is set to begin this year the day after Valentine's! February 15, 2009.

A brave new medium

Could this image below be the first yeti ever created on an iPhone? Or on any kind of mobile device?



I think so! And, to boot, this particular yeti appears to have just finished up a bit of bloodpainting. Yet another milestone in Yeti Representation.

The intrepid, pioneering artist behind this is Erik Sagen (aka kartooner). He has the distinct honor of being the first person ever to create a yeti on a mobile device. This opens the doors to a new tomorrow where Yeti Representers will make their yeti on the fly, wherever they happen to be: in the car, in the bath, on top of the roof, out on the beach... perhaps even, one day, floating tetherless in Outer SPACE???

Sagen used the iPhone/iPod Touch app Brushes to make it.

And, um, can I just say that I want an iPod Touch now? Just so I can get Brushes. Yow, that looks fun.
