Let’s face it… If Tony the Tiger had actually been practicing what he preached since 1951, he wouldn’t be the broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted mascot that’s on the Frosted Flakes box.
Artist Ron English, who loves to have fun at the expense of cereal manufacturers, created the Fat Tony Vinyl Figure — continuing his mission to raise awareness of the dangers of some kid’s cereals. Now that’s gr-r-reat!!!

Dr. Breakfast is a bizarre animated short by Stephen Neary. It follows the tale of a man who sits down for breakfast, only to have his soul escape from his eyeball. The soul then goes on to roam the earth eating everything in sight, while two deer dress the man and make him dinner.
Although the film might be a bit too surreal to form an actual opinion on, Dr. Breakfast was selected for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival — so we’ll assume it’s good. Enjoy.

Frankenberry by Michael Burnett, is part of the It’s Alive Project. Eighty artists were given the opportunity to re-imagine a life-size Boris Karloff as Frankenstein bust, with certified-awesome results. Proceeds from sales of the ‘Frankensteins’ will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Each of the 80 artists have been asked to recreate the monster in their own vision, style and hand. You will be amazed and frightened by what can happen when these talented artists unleash their creative monsters on this unique and terrifying project. See creations from some of the top local artists as well as a few Professional Monster Makers from across the country.
Now we just need some Lon Chaney Jr. busts, so Fruit Brute can finally get some love.
