Artists Travis Lampe and Travis Louie created the art for the upcoming “card throwing/tile game” Vampires vs. Unicorns: Floor War. The Yumfactory game was constructed by game designer Jim DuBois and Hi-Fructose co-founder Attaboy, based on an original concept by DuBois.
The titular battle between the two mythical species features art by Lampe on the Unicorn side and and Louie on the Vampire side. Lampe is a revered Chicago-based artist and illustrator who who describes his output as “ridiculous art, sad toys, and other dumb stuff.” Louie, living in New York City, creates work grounded in Edwardian and Victorian sensibilities. And the game’s illustrated 14 tile pieces are ready for framing.
From the game’s official description: “Draw from your deck of cards to RAISE THE DEAD, cause a UNICORN STAMPEDE, and more! It’s up to you to find the best throwing technique to destroy your opponent’s FLOOR TILES, but, like, BEWARE! As not all tiles are the same!”

Guillermo del Toro is known as one of the most imaginative filmmakers working today. As the director of some of this generation's most inventive horror and monster genre films, from Hellboy (2004), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Pacific Rim (2013), and Crimson Peak (2015), it should come as no surprise that del Toro loves monsters- and he has a creepy art collection to match. His treasured collection has been a work in progress since he was a child in Guadalajara, Mexico, and given its significant impact on del Toro's work and process, is now being brought to the public, courtesy of LACMA.
