Latest Updates!

Here’s the latest! 

*The new www.inkpenmutations.com!

Check out our new website. It has a completely different look and feel but it’s definitely more user friendly.  It’s more simple and sleek. We decided to keep the focus on our books, but don’t worry we still have our family page with all the author and artist info.

*Ink Pen Mutations Facebook Fan Page!

If you haven’t already please add us, like us, and tell all your friends! If you notice that some of the content from our old website is missing such as the past shows gallery and the family galleries, don’t panic.  All this content and more will be posted on here regularly.

*Van Wyck 2 Launch party April 2^nd 8pm-midnight at The Hive Gallery.

Join us for the official Van Wyck 2 Launch Party at The Hive Gallery! As you all know, Van Wyck 2 was released late last summer but we didn’t throw and official launch party because we were waiting on the printing of Zombie Rockband.  We were hoping to launch the two books together in one super party. Unfortunately we ran into a ton of printing problems and finally realized we just had to start all over with Zombie Rockband and use a different print house.  So, during the Hive’s big 6 year anniversary party this sat, we will also be celebrating the release of Van Wyck 2! The amazing painter, Lance Richlin will be there to sign book copies and to showcase the original paintings from the books as well as his other impressive paintings!  And the handsome /witty/ insane author, Christopher Cobb will be there to sign and entertain too! If Mother has time, she’ll try to bring a few pieces from her new collection “Monster watch bots”. As usual awesome live music performances in the front and the coolest Dj's spinning in the back! Hope to see you there!

Lastest News and Next Hive Show March 5th!

First of all we want to thank everyone who came to February’s Hive Show.  Mother’s “Birdbot Watching”  collection was a hit and she sold out of her first birdbots on opening night! Yay!

Also this month, Mother created her own website.  Check out Averose.com to get a more intimate look into Mother’s personal talents.  She’s spent 6 years focusing on promoting the Ink Pen Mutations Projects as a family effort.  For the first time she is promoting her own individual talents as well.  But don’t worry she’s still our sweet IPM Mother and she’s been working hard to bring you more amazing Ink Pen Mutations Projects coming this year!

This  sat march 5^th is our next Hive Gallery Group Show. Alice in Wonderland 2 will be a magical experience full of Art and Mayhem. Last year we brought you the infamous giant mushroom couch. This year we are featuring Mother’s new art collection “Whimsy Land”. She’s been busting her butt to create  these fantastical pieces inspired by the fantasy world of Alice in Wonderland.  Cig Neutron will have more cigeratts for sale and we will also be featuring more of his awesome and macabre sculptures.   Dj’s will be spinning in the back room and live music performances in the front room!

 And to further help fund the making of “Bizarro Au Go-Go,” Laya Bella will there to sign Fan Vixen Calendars. If you can’t afford a Death and the Maiden print or if we’ve sold out, please grab yourself an awesome Calendar and get it signed by the sweetest, hottest playboy model in existence!  Not only will you be treating yourself, but you will be contributing to the arts and everyone knows that we make good shit. So if you want to see more, please come to support us in one way or another!

But that’s not all! Our very own Mother, Ave Rose, will be featuring her new art collection “Birdbot Watching” in our room.  “Birdbot Watching” is Mother’s creation of miniature robot birds made of vintage watch parts! Every purchase comes with a magical mini magnifying glass so you can enjoy every tiny detail! And at the request of our lovely fans out there, Mother has also made more undead rose art, but this time she has made them into pendants. Each undead rose pendant comes on a necklace.
