Eric Pigors Gives Some Valentine’s Love With “Toxic Toons”

If you’ve never heard of ERIC “UNKLE” PIGORS, creator of TOXIC TOONS, then your life is just not complete. Pigors has worked in the animation industry since 1987, with credits on Walt Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Hercules, Treasure Planet, The Princess and the Frog and others. But the real draw for horror fans is his own personal creations: TOXIC TOONS, a nightmarish version of Saturday morning cartoons full of original characters. 

Pigors’ TOXIC TOONS store has endless supply of original items which include monster masks, trucker hats, prints, t-shirts, calendars, Ouija boards and so many more terror treats for your eyes to feast on. I figured that, with Valentine’s Day coming up, I would show off a few items that TOXIC TOONS has in stock right now.

Show that ghoul in your life you love them by getting a “LOVEU” (women’s) t-shirt available in Small to XXL. This shirt is printed in very limited quantities and is priced at $20 (free card based on shirt included with this order). 

If you’ve already picked out that spooktacular gift and can’t decide on a card, why not check out the wide selection of greeting cards and prints that TOXIC TOONS has to offer (all include illustrations by Pigors). Prices and quantities for these vary so get to the website and peruse the selections for yourselves.
