'A Clock Orange' FilmFufu ABC Block Series - Tofufu

About 18months ago, I inquired with Tofufu about the potential for some droog art designs. Originally I just requested Alex DeLarge, eventually we settled on all four Droogs!
These took me longer to pay for then they should have(because i'm useless), but damn were they worth the wait! The 'work in progress' images taunted me as I made my payments:


A is for Alex DeLarge - G if for George - P is for Pete - D is for Dim
'A Clock Orange' FilmFufu ABC Block Series, printed on 10x10inch bamboo wood panels.

Honestly it's hard to really capture the overall effect of these, my photos really don't do them justice! I'm eager to get them on a wall to give them the space they deserve(& need)! Hopefully I'll be able to achieve some photography of a calibre more appropriate to this collection of adorable drooginess!


The orange background is a bit metallic & really hard to show off in a photo! My photos neglect to show of the colours & details as well. It's hard to emphasise the epic size of these in photos too. Now that I've render my photography meaningless; I guess you'll just have to buy some prints & find out for yourself how amazing these are ;P
I now have myself 20x20inches of shiny droogs on wood! These will be the only 'A Clock Orange' droogs printed on 10x10inch panels. They're going to be a unique & impressive addition to my walls!

The lovely folks at Tofufu threw in a bunch of extra goodies for me too(they helped keep down shipping costs for me too, by bringing the prints with them during a trip to Australia)! I love their mini prints, I think the designs are brilliant! 'Toy Happens', that's good stuff!


I couldn't be happier with how these turned out! A little bit of cute & a bit of the old ultraviolence!

Want to buy something? You can check out their store on their website & their store on etsy! You can find A is for Alex available already & I'm sure the other droogs will be available soon!

You can find Tofufu on facebook, instagram & Twitter.

End of 2014 - R.I.P. Warren Clarke & Clockwork Porridge

Ok, so I haven't blogged in FOREVER. I feel terrible, I'm way behind on numerous pieces of news & new acquisitions I've added to my collection. So here is the beginning on my attempt to catch-up. First & foremost, for those who hadn't heard, Warren Clarke past away last November. A wonderful actor & a terrible loss.


"Doobidoob. A bit tired, maybe. Best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now,
so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right, right?"

Moving on to something a little more light-hearted. Sometime last year, during one of my random Google searches I think, I became aware of Cereal Killer Trading Cards. Such a rare occurance, the 1st series included a A Clockwork Orange parody. A Clockwork Porridge.


After becoming aware of this card, I wondered what else might be out there. Which resulted in me finding out about the 2014 Garbage Pail Kids series, which included two A Clockwork Orange parody cards amongst the 'Bonus Cards'. Drew Droog & Clark Work Orange.


At this point I decided to expand my interests & join a few card groups on Facebook. However, I acquired my first card in a much less likely place. Chad Scheres(who I've blogged about before: here) shared some monster cereal art. I commented, mentioning my search for a Clockwork Porridge card. Next thing I know, another person comments, expressing the fact they have a spare. They kindly offered to send it to me(& a couple of extra GPK cards!) for my collection. My last ACO item of 2014. A wonderful gift, from a kind stranger!


To expand on the Garbage Pail Kids theme, here's a few art prints I've found over the years.
First there's Ultra Vincent by Rhys Cooper. Part of a collection he did when Galley 1988 did a Garbage Pail Kids tribute. Tragically I only learned about this piece after it had sold out. I've yet to find one being sold anywhere. I'd badly like to own it.


I also recently found Vincent Morenos art. His selection of GPK is brilliant & thankfully for us ACO collectors, he's done two droog prints. I think they're brilliant(side note: Artsy Fartsy Toys will be stocking Victor Morenos prints soon)


Hopefully I'm be posting again soon! Lots more to catching up to do!
