October 2006

Spooky Greetings Gwin fans! It's October and it has been a busy month for us so far. We're preparing some projects for next year and finishing Anna Puchalski's Necronomiconey bunnies (coming soon! - watch www.angeldevilland.com). We hope everyone had a wonderful Friday the 13th and wish you all a happy and haunted Halloween! On to the news... - The new October SAGA is Bax! - Gwin Series 3 submission deadline is still November! - Visit us at the Pomona Glass House Swap Meet November 11

The SAGA continues… October's Super Awesome Gwin Artist is Bax, an artist and custom toy designer with a penchant for Halloween. He has concocted some amazing Gwins, so check out the one of a kind, custom vinyl Gwins he has created at www.gwinarmy.com His two Gwins for auction (Pin Gwin and Ghost Gwin w/ painting) will be up for auction starting Friday October 20th. Bax has added a fantastic 26" x 29" original painting (with frame!) to be auctioned with his Ghost Gwin, so don't miss it! Visit www.GwinArmy.com for more info and to bid on these unique custom Gwins. At Bax's request, the proceeds from ALL of Bax's custom Gwins will be donated to the Make A Wish Foundation.
