Most statue launch videos are pretty straightforward.Put the statue on a turntable. Light it nicely. Rotate it slowly. Show the box. Done. There's nothing wrong with that. We've made plenty of them since. Jaak was our second statue, and we were still deciding what a House of Gog launch video should be. She comes from Derelict Planet, and Pascal Blanché had already built an entire world around these characters. Putting her in front of a nice backdrop and calling it a day didn't feel like enough. We wanted to put her in the world. So we built part of it....

Moonstone was the first Our first statue. Our first collaboration with Pascal Blanché. Our first attempt to take one of his original characters from Derelict Planet and turn a piece of digital artwork into something you could actually put on a shelf. It worked. We wrote about how that came together in our post on Moonstone.  Then came the harder question: what comes after? For us, the answer was Jaak. A different kind of bounty hunter We grew up on Star Wars, so a bounty hunter was always going to get our attention. But Jaak wasn't your typical bounty hunter....

Métal Hurlant was founded by Philippe Druillet, Moebius, Jean-Pierre Dionnet and Bernard Farkas, who came together in late 1974 to create their own publishing house, Les Humanoïdes Associés. Their goal was to publish a science-fiction magazine that would give creators room to do what other publishers wouldn't. The first issue arrived in January 1975. What made Métal Hurlant different was that it treated comics as an art form worthy of the same consideration as other forms of art and literature, at a time when they...

The Last Stand of the Gin-Wog, hand-painted prototype. Last week, in our newsletter we wrote about how House of Gog builds its statues in its own workshop. This time, a closer look at one piece in particular: The Last Stand of the Gin-Wog, our most recent statue with Skinner. Skinner is an Oakland-based artist whose work draws from psychedelic horror, old-school D&D, Heavy Metal magazine and a lifelong love of monsters and cursed artifacts. The Gin-Wog comes straight out of that world. The Gin-Wog was originally designed as t-shirt art. We chose it for a couple of reasons. First, we...
