Hi sorry for the late reply, I’ve been taking a break from social media and haven’t been checking messages. If you are still interested, email me at Johnny@johnnyacurso.com and I’ll see what I can do!

All set up for day two of #BEAVERSTATECOMICCON in a new spot, right at the entrance of the North Sister hall! Stop by and say hi!

Finished up the most hype, the most bling, the most frustratingly difficult but slick-as-shit tragedy, DUDLUX, just in time for Beaver State Comic Con! Got a nice little army of Duds ready for y’all, so come visit Booth E12 in North Sister hall! #beaverstatecomiccon #partydud #childhoodtragedy

Sitting on a color matching box with the words “A Childhood Tragedy” in bold black with yellow outlines on one side, and a silhouette of the popsicle on the other.

Was kinda sad to see my first true color “Slashed” tragedy go, but happy it went to such a psyched collector! Still have the Silver eye version available if anyone is interested! Spray paint and acrylic.

One of my Tragedies from Emerald City, “Liner Nope” was an early version that suffered a literal meltdown during varnishing. Had to repaint the whole thing but it turned out pretty sweet, and went to a good home!

Probably the most radical Party Dud, the “Viced” flavor, is 100% spray paint color, with some leveling gel on top for a more consistent shine. Come check it, and all the custom flavors, out this weekend at #emeraldcitycomiccon, table N 19!

Almost time for Emerald City Comic Con, and I’ve got a batch of hand painted, custom flavor 3d Party Duds ready for the show! Here’s a quick look, but I’ll be posting detailed looks of each over the next week! See you soon @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social

Been pretty sick for the last week but finally managed to knock out another custom paint on another Chikdhood Tragedy. Classic party dud colors, but with a little bling.

Sweet! If they ever need backup, I have an elite group of trained assassins at my fingertips!

Another Party Dud colorway, this time a little frosty Slash variant. I still have to varnish these, so everything could go to hell, but assuming not I’ll have all these available at Emerald City Comic Con.
