Doktor A... master customizer!

Photobucket

To be honest... I am not a big fan of toy customizing and prefer the artists original vision over the custom ( especially KAWS customs just hurt my eyes... ). But Doktor A is doing crazy stuff, transforming even the dullest toys with amazing detailing into steampunk masterpieces.

Chimptastic!

First INSA, now Chimp reprezents the London Massive with a fresh new collabo!

Dave the chimp launches his first project with Vans this Wednesday at Cargo. I really think the items look great! I am just a sucker for clear, colourful graphics and it looks like this will be the first pair of shoes I purely buy to keep and cherish in my collection of colorfunpopthings...
