Land of Kaiju- Trading Cards, Book & Prints
Introducing Land of Kaiju, a collection of Japanese-styled monsters created by Chet Phillips. Kaiju translates to strange beast or monster and has a long and glorious history in pop culture and on the silver screen with the likes of Godzilla, Rodan, Gamera and Mothra, just to name a few. Chet Phillips explores this fascinating world of humongous mutants and irradiated creatures with his collection of whimsical beings that are part animal, part fantasy and all in-your-face fun. Available in a portfolio of trading cards, signed 11″ x 14″ prints and in a limited edition (50) alphabet book. The first 10 copies of the book edition include a beautiful custom Japanese box.
Land of Kaiju- The Portfolio of Trading Cards
24 cards in the set, each measuring a large 3.25″ x 4″ each.
Each pack of cards is presented in a paper portfolio (signed on the back) with gold foil stamp on the label and red “Chet” Haragani red stamp designed by Sachi Greene of StampsbySachi. The card front sides display the monster portrait with a distinct Japanese woodblock flavor and the reverse provides the point of origin along with physical characteristics and historical information of each creature. Each card measures 3.25″ x 4″ and are printed on sturdy 14 pt. uncoated cover stock.

Land of Kaiju- The Book
26 monsters represent each letter of the alphabet with a clever twist. Using alliteration, the repetition of a particular sound, each creature’s description follows the pattern of the letter of the alphabet represented. For instance, for the letter D: “Diredragon dominates and destroys daredevil dandies with dark determination.” The book measures 9.75″ x 8.5.” Each copy of the edition is printed on heavy, bright white 48 lb cover stock, bound in a Japanese-styled binding design using beautiful Chiyogami paper and silk thread by Julie Sullivan of Dancing Cat Bindery.

StampsbySachi
I recently had the pleasure of commissioning a custom stamp from StampsbySachi. Discovering her talents appears to have been fate. In my search for an artist to create a Hiragana name stamp, I posed the question to my good friend Ramsey to see if he had any ideas. He had just ordered a stamp from Sachi as a Christmas present for his wife Jane. After making contact through her Etsy shop, Sachi promptly responded with 3 great sketch variations to choose from. After making my choice I received her great craftsmanship, beautifully packaged with loads of fun extras included. I can’t say enough good things about her skills, customer service and professionalism. Be sure and check out her online shop HERE.
And watch soon for the new “monstrous” project in which I’ll use this great “Chet” stamp. It will be used alongside my signature on a line of prints, trading cards and limited edition book.
