About this Artist

I am grody, I am gross, I am a virus, a spore growing on the surface of all the pretty things. I am small now but growing voraciously. I am hungry. Grody Shogun is me. I am an artist and a toy making machine. I have giving up any sense of normalcy, in it's place I live and breath only to produce. I survive on the info passed down to me from the masters living and working in the sofubi world. I am a sponge soaking up any little bit I can. I do this for you and for I do this for us. We must cherish the old ways and do all we can to keep them alive. This is my apprenticeship, I take it very seriously. My masters are all around me. I honor them in my work. I begin humble and my pricing will reflect that. As I grow and my skills sharpen I will to charge what the those before me charge. This is my bowing to you, the toy fan, the oddball, the lover of randomness, the collector. I work within this rich community of craftsmen and artisans.

Post apocalyptic movies, vintage horror comics, and bootleg toys dug from the bottom shelf at your local discount shop come together in a cacophonous amalgamation of glowing vinyl and neon paint. Starting with Bechigon, Egg of the Apocalypse, carrying on with Larvagon, Larva of Vengeance and now with the introduction of the terrifying Ghouls; the Velocitron line chronicles the future history of the Earth. With human civilization ravaged by psychic warfare, terrors from the stars clash with shadows from mankind’s darkest fears in the rubble of what was once our world. But still, the remnants of humanity continue to rage against the dying of the light and many still vow that they will not allow the world to die a quiet death. Even though the Earth may be finished, the world of Velocitron has only just begun and the future promises to bring even more squamous terrors from the void! Velocitron is also committed to bringing some of the greatest unrecognized monsters and creatures from other media into vinyl.
