Plaseebo Custom

PLASEEBO CUSTOM is a shop dedicated to creating unique one of a kind collectable figures and designing original figures for limited soft vinyl production.

PLASEEBO has three Artist / Designers in the group in addition to a talented pool of Artist / Craftsmen. The lead designer is BOB CONGE and the two associate designers are BILL HAND and JOHN KASTNER. Each of these Artist / Designers has a unique vision and style of their own which directs the fresh look of a PLASEEBO CUSTOM figure. Some of our customs are completely built from scratch using various sculpture materials and techniques while others are created by using a combination of chopped existing figures, found objects and various sculpture materials. Whatever the direction or medium of expression, the drive is always to bring to life a personal vision in the form of a new figure.

Night Gamer:
Here's a first look at Plaseebo Custom’s first edition of the Night Gamer (7”), co-designed by Bill Hand and Bob Conge. The Night Gamers are a race of beings from a parallel universe who have managed to enter our universe with the sole purpose of gaming albeit in a non-traditional manner. The beings which travel in pairs use their probes to connect directly to a human being's brain and use his or her thoughts and experiences as the raw material to construct a game to challenge one another.

The first ultra-limited edition, hand-painted by Bob Conge, is rotocast in blue vinyl with a GID probe, blue inset eyes, a color changing LED embedded in the head, and a GID brain accessory (not pictured). The header card is illustrated by Plaseebo's third artist, John Kastner. Talk about loaded to the brim. This and future ultra limited editions will be strictly limited to 20 or fewer pieces worldwide.n So if you're looking for something different both aesthetically and production wise, check out this first edition of Night Gamer which will drop next week directly from Plaseebo Custom's Web Store.

HP Lovecraft's The Other Gods

HP Lovecraft's The Other Gods
A prophet who longed to look upon his deities. A daunting journey to a mountain peak. A confrontation with gods too powerful to name.

This is the story that inspired Peter Rhodes, who worked as a filmmaker and artist during the 1920s. Few people know of his work, and it's only through luck and perseverance that we have been able to track down the elements for this "lost" film. "The Other Gods" has undergone an extensive restoration and is currently being screened at select film festivals throughout the world.

Rhodes' films were created using silhouette animation, a technique perfectly suited to depict Lovecraft's mythic Dreamland stories. The filmmaker's involvement in New York City's occult and literary scenes provided him with a select audience for his work. Rhodes was especially influenced through his relationships with occultist Aleister Crowley and writer H.P. Lovecraft, but it was personal tragedy that moved him to produce "The Other Gods," his most powerful film.

The restoration of "The Other Gods" features an all new soundtrack by Keith Handy. For more about his music, visit www.keithhandy.com
