In the last several months, I have started to become a bit obsessive over fast food mascots; mainly those from McDonald's Land and Harland Sanders aka the Colonel Sanders from KFC. So, imagine my surprise when I saw on my Facebook feed that KFC was selling a Harland Sanders (The Colonel) costume for only five bucks!  I quickly gave them some credit card numbers and a week later they sent me something that I can only describe as gloriously cheap and kitsch. The costume kit includes a plastic mask of the ghostly visage of Colonel Sanders, which was feels surprisingly sturdy, as I was expecting something that was more akin to a tissue thin dollar store mask, and a plastic bib that resembles his all white 1900's southernly gentleman's suit.  All of this bagged in a cheap bag with a stapled folded label, and believe me the label is, in itself, a thing of graphic design love. Now, of course, like most limited edition things that are fast food related, the costume sold out q...

Next month I am celebrating some of the things that I loved during the eighties with my 1980's Rewind Edition of the Box of Schlock. In August, I am throwing in all kinds of goodies, both new and vintage, from the 1980's.  Plus, as always, candy, snacks, and a Mystery Gift! I am still working out details on how to make the Box of Schlock into a subscription based thing, but for the moment, you can still go to my site and pre-order one for $25 with free shipping.  It's a U.S. only affair, apologies England. So far, I have found some cool still sealed trading cards and Garbage Pail Kids pins, which that in itself should be enough for anyone to grab a box. All boxes ship on 8/18-8/21.  I don't make a huge profit, when all is said and done, but it does help pay the phone bill and art supplies, from time to time, and you get a cool box shipped to you with a ton of goodies. Grab one or three at my store over at www.houseofschlock.com .  Supplies are limited, so...

More progress on my hand made slaps. I will be doing trades soon. So DM if you are interested. I prefer stuff that is lowbrow, monsters, or robots. #misterschlocko #lowbrow #lowbrowart #stickerart #stickers A post shared by Mister Schlocko (@misterschlocko) on Jul 19, 2017 at 3:11pm PDT

This year may suck as far as politics go.  But, holy Frankenstein! Hot Wheels is releasing a line of Halloween cars, and they look damn awesome. Check out the full deets over at Bloody Disgusting here.

I wasn't so sure of this film until I saw the Garbage Pail Kids stickers on the wall to the right. So, I'm now cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. #garbagepailkids #gpk #readyplayerone A post shared by Mister Schlocko (@misterschlocko) on Jul 14, 2017 at 9:48am PDT

I have no idea how this commercial slid past me.  It's several years old, and I am just now discovering it. I was going down a rabbit hole on the Internet and, as one would expect, a commercial started before the video.  But instead of the old keep clicking on skip till it goes away, I watched in what I could only describe as awe and bafflement.  I have just witnessed the Purple Protector Bigfoot commercial, and I don't care how old the damn thing is.  I have this compulsion now to tell people about it and show them.  Show them the pure insanity and hilarious commercial for a bed sheet protector. Alright, so the first thing you notice is Mama Sasquatch and her son, Junior; a little person in a sasquatch costume that really looks so damn close to what Jack Black wore in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.  But it also makes me think of Chaka from the TV series Land of the Lost. There is also Daddy Bigfoot who is busy trying to prove to the Bigfoot wor...

In case you're wondering what I have been up to lately, I will tell you. Inspired by last year's Halloween Hootenanny Bags, which sold out in a matter of days, I started a subscription box service called The Box of Schlock, of course. Each month, I gather from all kinds of sources, items that I dig that are either unique, weird, schlocky, or kitsch and throw them into a box along with candy and snacks and a Mystery Item. This side endeavor, which is not really related to my artwork or movies, is still something that is a part of me that I want to share with everyone.  It has been what has been keeping me busy in recent weeks, but I promise more art and movies are on their way. So far, I have nearly sold out of the ten boxes that I had made for the month of April. So, that's not bad, really. If anyone is interested, boxes are $25.00 bucks with free shipping. U.S. only. Plus, since variety is the spice of life; each month the box will have a different theme. For th...

Sometimes drawing is a bit like the early stages of a sculpture or painting, in that it begins at the ugly stage before things start to gel in its final form. #misterschlocko #lowbrow #kaiju #ultraman #bmovies #cultmovies #cultcinema #culttv A post shared by Tim Shrum (@misterschlocko) on Mar 1, 2017 at 3:01pm PST
