The SAGA continues… August's Super Awesome Gwin Artist is Jared Osborn who has spent years working as a professional in the comics industry and making his whimisical, abstract creations. He has brought his own fun flavor to some great custom Gwins, so make sure to check out the one of a kind, custom vinyl Gwins he has created at www.gwinarmy.com His two Gwins for auction (Zero Gwin and 5Gwin) both end August 18th. Visit www.GwinArmy.com for more info and to bid on these unique custom Gwins. The proceeds from these auctions will be donated to Actor - A commitment to our roots.

Blank Gwins, Clear Gwins, 13" MegaGwins... Several Gwins have been added to the site and are available for purchase including blank Gwins ($5), clear Gwins ($5), and of course, 13" MegaGwins ($65). We have also added an easy find menu at the bottom of the GwinArmy page where you can quickly locate any of the Gwins for more information and purchase. Don't forget, we are preparing for a MegaGwin art show in October 2007 and anyone who purchases one of the first 100 MegaGwins is invited to participate in the show with their customized MegaGwin!
