Easily Amused is a small-batch, artisanal, farm-to-table art brand concept based in NYC, that creates whimsical pins, patches, prints, and shirts that are perfect for your backpack and everyday attire. Easily Amused also claims that “on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog running a website,” so you’ll have to visit Five Points Fest to find out if he is actually a dog or a human.

Magitarius is an amazing creative team made up of a husband and wife duo who produce all kinds of original monster-based artwork from their lab located in North Carolina. Specializing in creating one-of-a-kind figures, resin toys, paintings, prints, and apparel, with a particular focus on their Kaiju-styled monsters and zombies.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’m not going to add much to the mix on this alert since I was only just talking about the 2024 Five Points Festival a few short days ago. This does mark the third announcement of its kind which is pretty cool and as I surmised in the previous installment, there are very likely to be several more of them. Sure its added work on top of an already super busy itinerary but hey, I don’t mind helping out a very fun convention. If you’re only just seeing my posts about the event with this notice, I’ve attended FPF since the very beginning and I love having my “voice” per se, help the audience to be rallied. I’ll repeat myself now and suggest that its never too late to be following and engaging with the PiercingMetal brand on any of our several Social Media profiles. All of what we are currently working with can be found on the handy dandy Linktree so just click that hyperlinked text. To keep up with any posts about the 2024 Five Points Festival you’ll want to click HERE to launch all of it onto a new browser tab. Feel free to chime in down below if you know any of the artists that were announced in this notice. I’d love to have some of their fans letting us know what makes them so special in their collecting eyes. Ciao for now, see you again soon and as always please stay safe out there.
