welcoming the beastmaster

it may come as no suprise, but surely as a splendid revelation, that the almighty beastmaster aka lucien shapiro, of 667 / papervehicle / cleaver league notoriety, is now official a part of the decorative stamp guild in a solo capacity. already responsible for a host of sinister death-chews, adept texts and visual artworks, the beastmaster's reputation clearly preceeds him as we heartily welcome him into the fold.

we shall reveal no more for now, keeping the darkly-disturbing spirits at bay until official announcements will be revealed in the coming moons, but do be sure to expect word of forthcoming materials in the not-too-distant future. til then, be sure to 'like' him on facebook, bookmark his website and anticipate the darkening storm that will unveil the upcoming installments in the saga of the 667.

accolades 2012

another year to fly by so fast, and here we are at the still shimmering dawn of these next twelve moons, ready to take a moment to briefly reflect on our myriad successes in 2012 and to draw attention to the various gongs we have received for our efforts and to thank those responsible accordingly. in truth 2012 was a tough year in many ways, but how we are so proud to have managed to soldier forward and bring to you some of our most-treasured releases yet. so, might we indulge a moment in the recognition bestowed upon us by awfully kind others and raise our collective glasses to the prospect of all that shall emerge in this fine new year of our lord 2013.
