Beast Stew, an independent publishing and merchandising label, will make its debut at this year's Licensing International Expo June 2-4 in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Resort.
Designer Micah Linton owns the Beast Stew brand, which features the Weebeast character book series. The second book Weebeasts: Plight, written and illustrated by Linton from Greenleaf Press Book Group, is now available. The fantasy adventure series also has an award-winning plush toy (Dr. Toy's Top 100 Toys of 2008) and is in discussions for merchandise expansion in clothing, patches, sticker packs, wall decals, video games and iPhone applications.
Linton has spent more than 10 years in the video gaming industry as a designer, having previously worked for Dreamworks SKG, Activision, Electronic Arts and others.
