April 22, 2008 - ICP Gallery Exhibition Coming Soon

Hey everyone!

Longtime visitors to ICP have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of custom toys being added to the site these past few months. While there are plenty of those still in the works, I have also been hard at work on a series of new paintings for a book to be published later this year.

In the meantime, though, I am pleased to announce that Iron-Cow Prod. will soon be unveiling a handful of these paintings, to be showcased at An Evening of Tasting Wines from Around the World! All proceeds going to the ECC Foundation's Scholarship Fund, so it's for a good cause.

Friday, May 2, 2009
6:00 - 9:00 pm

Essex County College
The Art Gallery & Forum
303 University Ave.
Newark, NJ 07102
973 877 3007 or 3006

If you're in the North Jersey area and want to experience an evening of wine and culture, please drop by. Additional details can be found HERE.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Hope to see you all there!

April 16, 2008 - ICP Invades NEW YORK COMIC CON

Hey everyone!

NEW YORK COMIC CON opens to the public Friday, April 18, and Iron-Cow Prod. will be there!

If you're going to the show, be sure to drop by the MINIMATES PANEL. Join Diamond Select Toys’ Director Chuck Terceira, Project Manager Robert Yee and Graphic Designers Uriel and Matt 'Iron-Cow' Cauley for a glimpse of what’s to come for the number one block figures in the world! Ask your questions, make your requests and get a sneak peek at future Minimate designs in the process! This all-star panel will be held on Friday, April 18th at 7:00pm in room 1E03 during this year’s New York Comic Con.

Even if you don't make the panel, keep you eyes peeled for perhaps the tallest guy there, sporting pinstripes and short spikey hair. I'll be in attendance all day covering the event for Action Figure Insider.

Be sure to say hi! Hope to see you all there!

Hey everyone!

Iron-Cow Prod. is currently featured on the JoeCustoms website as part of their Custom Celebration II event! To read the interview, simply click HERE. And, if you'd like to join in on their discussion, click HERE.

Click HERE to check out it out. Special thanks to Airmax for the heads-up!

April 4, 2007 - Iron-Cow Prod. discussed on EXTRALIFE RADIO

Hey everyone!

Guitar producer and customizer Chris Stenger was recently interviewed on EXTRALIFE RADIO, discussing the hobby of custom action figures. When discussing the process of how he got started customizing, he mentioned stumbling across Iron-Cow Prod. Not only that, but he discusses ICP quite a bit over the course of the interview!

To listen to the Custom Figures portion of the EXTRALIFE RADIO broadcast, click HERE (or, to listen to the entire hour show, click HERE. Chris' interview starts around the 46:30 mark.) Great stuff!

Thanks again for all the kind words, Chris! I really appreciate it!

Chris' guitar work can be seen at Stenger Guitars.
