DKE will have over 30 exclusive releases! (Artist list below.) Email announcements will follow over the next week. In addition we have three mini art shows. Cantina Wars by Ghanaian artist Stoger brought to you by Deadly Prey Gallery. Featuring an edition of resin figures on spectacularly painted wood panels. Star Hair by Whistling Pony. Faux hair on card edition of 30. "Incorporating AI as an integral part of the overall design process, the Star Hair series melds Star Wars with random celebrities to explore subjects as varied as the banality of repetition, the sexual gaze, and the fetishistic nature of collecting." And Samuel Kelemer completes his scatological trilogy with Toilet Paper Man, featuring 100% hand drawn card backs by a 9 year old!

Behind the scenes and "making of" images are always at our Flickr with additional folders for all previous shows and releases. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dketoys/albums/72177720306482360
